M.  Dize,  the  celebrated  co-discoverer  of  the  process  for  artificial  sal  sodse, 
died  in  August  last,  in  the  88th  year  of  his  age.  lie  was  born  at  Aire,  in 
the  department  of  Landes,  in  17G4.  Ho  went  to  Paris  at  an  early  age  with 
a  letter  to  M.  Darcet,  and  became,  some  time  after,  his  chief  laboratory 
assistant.  For  twenty  years  his  name  was  associated  with  that  of  Dublanc 
in  the  preparation  of  artificial  soda,  a  discovery  from  which  France  now 
receives  a  revenue  of  twenty  millions  of  francs,  and  the  world  a  benefit  not 
appreciated  in  its  vast  extent.  M.  Dize  organized  the  Ecole  Militaire,  and 
the  Pharmacie  Centrale  des  Armees,  during  the  revolution.  He  discovered 
new  processes  for  refining  the  precious  metals,  and  ceased  not  until  his 
death  to  take  a  lively  interest  in  the  progress  of  the  sciences.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  National  Academy  of  Medicine  and  of  the  Societe  d'en- 
couragement.  M.  Boudet  has  recently  published  a  long  memoir  in  the 
Journal  de  Pharmacie,  (Aout  1852,)  in  Avhich  he  has  done  full  justice  to 
the  claims  of  M.  Dize  as  a  discoverer.
