Page 48 - In defining the unit of heat it is necessary to specify the temperature of the water because the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one pound of water through one degree varies slightly at different temperatures.
Page 145 - Weight. For any particular cement the weight varies with the degree of heat in burning, the degree of fineness in grinding, and the density of packing. Other things being the same, the harder-burned varieties are the heavier. The finer a cement is ground the more bulky it becomes, and consequently the less it weighs. Hence, the light weight may be caused by laudable fine grinding or by objectionable under-burning.
Page 144 - One of these cakes, when hard enough, should be put in water, and examined from day to day to see if it becomes contorted, or if cracks show themselves at the edges, such contortions or cracks indicating that the cement is unfit for use at that time. In some cases the tendency to crack, if caused by the presence of too much unslacked lime, will disappear with age.
Page 167 - Sand is mixed with lime or cement to reduce the cost of the mortar; and is added to lime also to prevent the cracking which would occur if lime were used alone. Any material may be used to dilute the mortar, provided it has no effect upon the durability of the cementing material and is not itself liable to decay. Pulverized stone, powdered brick, slag, or coal cinders may be used ; but natural sand is by far the most common, although fine crushed stone, or 'stone • screenings,' are sometimes employed...
Page 145 - If satisfactory results are obtained with a full dose of sand, the trials need go no further. If not, the coarser particles should first be excluded by using a no. 100 sieve in order to determine approximately, the grade the cement would take if ground fine; for fineness is always attainable, while inherent merit may not be.
Page 168 - The cleanness of sand may be tested by rubbing a little of the dry sand in the palm of the hand, and after throwing it out noticing the amount of dust left on the hand. The cleanness may also be judged by pressing the sand between the fingers while it is damp; if the sand is clean it will not stick together, but will immediately fall apart when the pressure is removed.
Page 167 - The sharpness of sand can be determined approximately by rubbing a few grains in the hand or by crushing it near the ear and noting if a grating sound is produced; but an examination through a small lens is better.

Page 189 - I move that the Secretary be instructed to cast the ballot of the Association for the election of the physicians whose names have been presented.
Page 130 - From this formula it will be seen that the amount of gas delivered will, everything else remaining the same, vary as the square root of the fifth power of the diameter of the pipe in inches. The...
