The second and third residue in each case were exceedingly fine grained tmdyellow in color. The change in color shows the decrease in impurities by wash-ing, which is further checked by the percent of silica in the residue. Thepossibility of increasing the refractory property of the garnister is evident,if this would not affect the other properties required by of Inversion The rate at which a silica material (as was pointed outbefore), invei-te frem one form to another, is one of the most important featuresdetermining its quality as a refractory substance. The agents for bonding thematerials, v/hich are necessary, might be so selected as to accelerate this in-version without affecting the refractoriness materially. Such materials werechosen with others for the purpose of determining the effect of these bondingagents upon the rate of inversion of the materials. The general method used,was as follows. Ea
