REi'ORT O'F THE 



TABLE giving a comparison of different expressions for the 

 strength of Brine from zero to saturation. 



From this table the properties a:id capabilities of auy brine' 

 may be ascertained by knowing its strength as shown by the 

 salometer. Suppose for instance the salometer shows 53 de- 

 grees. The table shows at a glance that this corresponds to 

 13.78 degrees of Beaume's hydrometer, a specific gravity of 

 1.100 and a per centage of 13.62; while a wine pint nf the 

 brine would furnish 1092 grains of solid residue, and 44 . 7 gal-
