W.  L.  Cliffe,  Ambrose  Hunsberger,  C.  E.  Vanderkleed,  M.  I.  Wilbert,

originated  by  Valentine  Smith,  a  German.  It  consists  in  adding  the 
alcoholic  solution  slowly  to  the  aqueous  solution  contained  in  a 
bottle,  and  then  revolving  the  bottle  very  slowly,  holding  it  in  a 
horizontal  position.
