Стр. 163 - Two vessels of proper construction were placed side by side, one containing naphthaline and the other water. By suitable adjustment of pressure these were brought to the same boiling point within a few tenths of a degree, the pressure being measured by the manometers. The slight temperature differences existing between them could be measured accurately by a carefully calibrated and tempered mercury thermometer with a probable error of the result of about two one-hundredths of a degree. The method...
Стр. 156 - Crafts became close personal friends and co-workers in many scientific researches in later years. In 1866-7, having returned to this country, Mr. Crafts spent a short time in professional work in the inspection of mines. Upon the opening of Cornell University he became, in 1868, Professor of Chemistry, in charge of the department, remaining there until 1871. In 1869 the resignation of Mr. Charles W. Eliot, Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Metallurgy in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,...

Стр. 161 - Part i of an extended paper entitled "Points fixes de thermometrie entre 100° et 400°. Tensions de vapeur de la naphtaline, de 1'eau et de la benzophenone." This contains an exhaustive description of the form of apparatus used by him in these studies, embodying many new devices of his own. A constant volume nitrogen gas thermometer, a special type of open manometer, and also a new form of ebullioscope were employed.
Стр. 158 - He was a member of the corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was appointed a member of the Schools Examination Board of Harvard University in 1903.
Стр. 158 - ... moreover throws an interesting light on some phases of the religious views prevalent in that country at that time and especially of those which existed in certain provinces a generation earlier. It is an astonishing revelation of intolerance to learn that the wife of Friedel, when a child, lived "near Nismes in a house where the coffins of her relations occupied one of the drawing rooms because as Protestants they were refused Christian burial.
