Abstract
Journal of the Russian Chemical and Physical Society, vol. xvi. fasc. 8.—On the oxidation of acetones, by E. Wagner (first paper dealing with their behaviour towards chromic acid).—On the specific volumes of chlorine, iodine, and bro nine in organic compounds, by M. Schalfejeff (second paper). For chlorine they gradually rise with the increase of the number of equivalents entering into combination, gradually reaching 21, 24, and 27; for bromine they are 24, 27, and 30; and for iodine, 26 to 27.—Addition of methylamine to methylglycidic acid, by M. Zelinsky.—On Astrakhanite, by W. Markovnikoff. —On the influence of the lineary compression of iron, steel, and nickel rods on their magnetism, by P. Bakmetieff. From a varied series of experiments the author arrives at a series of conclusions, showing that compression of iron rods exercises a very notable influence on their magnetisation, and that the phenomena depend upon the rods having been, or not, formerly submitted to repeated compression; all kinds of iron and steel display the influence of compression-soft iron and steel at a higher degree than hard iron and steel. The theory of rotating molecular magnets would explain all observed phenomena.—On an amperometre based on the electrothermic phenomenon of Pelletier, by N. Hesehus.—On the regular forms taken by powders, by Th. Petrushevsky (second paper dealing with the shapes taken by heaps of powders on surfaces limited by curves, or polygones with entering angles).—Also on the dilatation of liquids; an answer to Prof. Arenarius, by D. Mendeleeff.—An answer to M. Rogovsky, by B. Stankewitsch.—An answer to M. Sokoloff, by M. Bardsky, being a further mathematical inquiry into the forces of molecular attraction.—An answer to M. Petroff, by M. Kraevitsch.—We notice an innovation in this fasciculum of the Journal. It contains detailed minutes of the proceedings of the Physical and Chemical Section of the Moscow Society of Lovers of Natural Science.
