of asbestos were treated for chlorine, separately. The solution 
obtained from the anterior column was found to contain but a 
trace of chlorine, giving only a milkiness with nitrate of silver; 
showing that the chlorid of zinc does not travel far through a 
column of asbestos from the point where the flame plays directly 
on the tube.
