AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY, DETROIT MEETING.

The Fortieth General Meeting of the American Chemical Society was held a t Detroit, Michigan, by invitation of the Society of Detroit Chemists, from Tuesday, June 29, to Friday, July 2 , 1909, with an attendance of over three hundred, Dr. F. T. F. Stephenson, president of the Society of Detroit Chemists, welcomed the members and visitors a t the first general session held a t the Central High School, on Tuesday morning. Dr. W. R. Whitney, president of the Society, responded. He emphasized the great impor- tance of getting ac- quainted a t the gen- eral meetings of the Society. We could read the papers, he said, which were pre- sented a t the meet- ings in printed form and under more fa- vorable conditions, but only a t the meetings could we arrive a t an appre- ciation of the per- sonality behind the paper. T h e n w e were in a position to

the chairman, Dr. Little, of Boston, and secretary, Mr. Hyde, of New York, have spared no efforts to make of i t an unusual success with most gratifying results. There was need for a closer affiliation of the industrial chemists and engineers in the Society, and they have joined hands with their officers to, make the meetings pleasurable and profitable beyond the dreams of the organizers. A special report of the meeting of the Division will be found below.

In the evening, a theater party for ladies was arranged a t the time the men were entertained a t a smoker given by the members of the Local Committee. Both vere suc- cessful. The smoker was characterized by the best of good fellowship, and the perfection of arrangements by the Local Committee made the event one to be long remembered with pleasure.

On Wednesday morning, the Divisions met again a t the Central High School. After the recess for lunch, the mem- bers, ladies and visitors boarded special cars for the plant of Parke, Davis & Co. After a photograph of the party vias taken in front of the offices of the company, groups were formed and guides escorted them through the works. All were impressed by the great 1-ariety of operations per- formed, the painstaking exactness everywhere observed and the high character of the employees. The bacteriological laboratories appeared to be especially worthy of praise. Dinner was served in the company’s lunch room and in the evening there was a moonlight excursion from the docks in front of the plant up the Detroit River and into Lake St. Clair. There were music, dancing and refreshments, and all made merry and had a good time.

On Thursday morning, members and guests left on a special train for Ann Arbor, on invitation of the Regents of the University of Michigan, to be their guests for the day. At IO o’clock a general meeting was held. President Angell, of the University, welcomed the Society and Presi- dent Whitney responded. During the morning, the follow- ing addresses were heard :

say after reading a paper, “I can accept all that this man says a t its face value because I know him ;’ or “I will discount this paper twenty-five per cent., I know the author.” After Dr. M‘hitney’s response, Secretary Parsons made the official announcements for the meeting in his usual vigorous and clear style, after which the various Divisions met in their appointed places. Of the Divisions, the Division of Industrial Chemists and Chemical Engineers easily led in point of attendance and number of papers read. Since the formation of this Division,

The afternoon session was devoted to the Section of

Sorman A. Dubois: Teaching by the Lecture System. The great interest of those present, in the general sub-

ject, was shown by the lively discussion which followed the reading of the papers.

The Cniversity of Michigan is to be congratulated on its past and present splendid interest in chemistry and on the able men i t has numbered on its chemical faculty. At present, is being erected on the campus, a magnificent chemical laboratory, a t a cost of 5 2 jO,OOO.OO,

which will lie completed in the autumn of this year. The accompanying cuts show the general plan of the structure. When com- pleted, it xi11 take its place among the lar- gest and best-equipped laboratory buildings in America

On Thursday evening, after the return from Ann Arbor to Detroit, the subscription dinner was held a t the Hotel Ponchartrain, and was attended by about two hundred mem- bers and guests

On Friday morning, provision was made for adjourned meetings of the Sections and Divisions, and the rest of the day was given over to excursions to various manufacturing establishments as follows:

in operation a t a temperature of 1 2 0 0 ~ C. ( 2 1 9 2 ~ F . ) . These furnaces were controlled by small step-down transformers operating from the standard voltage circuit. Under working conditions of melting special nickel alloys, to be used in the production of resistance wire, the Hoskins type FC furnace was shown. This furnace produces temperatures as high as zoooo C. ( 3 6 3 2 O F.) by means of a carbon plate resistance unit worked a t low voltage.

In connection with these furnaces, a complete instal- lation of pyrometers was exhibited. Included in this was shown an illuminated dial meter, connected through a selective switch with several thermo-couples placed in the various furnaces on display. By moving the switch, instant indication of the temperature of any of the furnaces was shown on the meter. Separate instruments, including the well-known portable pyrometer, were also shown.

Of particular interest were the new type laboratory hot plates exhibited. These were in two styles, those with uniform heat dis- tribution, and those with the heating unit mere located in the center of the plate, both pro- ducing temperatures up to 350° C. (662’ F.),

An inspection followed of the manufacture ’of these products. This included the resist- ance-wire producton department, the shops, assembling departments, and testing labora- tories. Eighty members of the Society vis- ited the plant. It was a general expression on their part that the electric heat produc- tion devices and exact temperature measur- ing instruments inspected, had an increas- ingly important bearing upon all branches of chemical work.

A crucible furnace of standard voltage type, in connection with a Hoskins pyrometer, was shown in use for obtaining the “recalescent” points of steel specimens. Crucible and tube furnaces of heavy wire, low-voltage type, were shown

their homes, and closed the most successful Summer Meeting the Society has ever held.
