 in the same iustitutiou. His original researches, chiefly in physical chemistry,

 versity of Ziirich. 



John Christopher Draper, born March 31, 1835; di<!d December 20, 1885. He held

 1, 1885. He was born June 9, 1812, in Liibeck. In both research and literary 

 work Fehling has left an enviable record.
