Uniform Hydrometer Standard 



At a recent conference of the Sugar 

 Club in Habana it was decided that here- 

 after the standard temperature for gradu- 

 ation of Brix hydrometers for the labora- 

 tories exchanging information under the 

 club agreement shall be 17^/2° C. 



Other temperatures have formerly been 

 used for these instruments by some of the 

 laboratories, but such will now have to be 

 replaced by new ones conforming to the 

 standard just adopted, and new stocks for 

 the coming season will be purchased in 

 accord with the decision. 



More than 60 of the larger mills of 

 Cuba are represented by members of the 

 Sugar Club, and several dozens of hydrom- 

 eters each, of three or four types, are 

 annually bought by the chemical depart- 

 ment of every mill. It is also likely that 

 this action will more or less influence the 

 purchases by other mills that desire to 

 make comparisons with the work done by 

 the club group, although they are not yet 

 members. — Trade Commissioner Frank E. 

 Coombs, Habana.
