IT is the purpose of this paper to describe a method used to determine the corundum contents of samples of hard crystalline gneiss containing both corundum and red garnet. A chemical analysis of the rock for alumina would not fix the amount of corundum because at least three other constituent minerals of the rock, mica, feldspar, and garnet, contain alumina combined with silica. Following are the principal minerals found in the samples, together with their specific gravity and hardness as given by Dana:

WAGNERL described the thermodynamic behavior of a metallic solution consisting of the solute components 2, 3,... at very dilute concentrations in the solvent, 1, in terms of the excess partial molar free energy, or alternatively the logarithm of the activity coefficient. In the Taylor expansion of FiE, by neglecting the second- and higher-order differential terms, he obtained the excess partial molar free energy as a linear function of the composition:

THE following calculation of heat requirement covers the working of the furnace from January 25th to February 14th, inclusive. A short time previous to the first date the furnace had been working rather badly, so that 300 lbs. of ore and 500 lbs. of limestone were taken off. Within the time mentioned the quality of the iron passed
