This would seem to indicate that in thewhole range of Prof. Hofmans work there are 1»«11 two pro-portions giving definite chemical compounds, namely (FeO ,Si02, the formation-temperature I. of which is L270 C, andCaO, FeO ,SiO„ the formation-temperature K of whichl-_v> (. It would be desirable to study how much heat isliberated or absorbed in forming these compounds; for if theamount be at all considerable, it will have an important bear-ing on fuel-consumption.* It* a line be drawn on the diagram, Fig. 6, through thetwo maxima L and K. and continued, it will pass exactlythrough the vertex A. of the diagram, representing 100 will further be noticed that all the isotherms intersected byit make angl
