The solubilities in boiling water and boiling alcohol weredetermined by estimating the amount of the salt actually dissolvedat the boiling point of the saturated solution. This, of course, ismuch higher than ioo° C. for water, or about 780 C. for writer has seen the boiling point of such an aqueous mixturerise up to 1400 C. and above, and an alcoholic solution as high as95° C. On ignition, a residue of lithium carbonate mixed with carbon isleft. It would be more nearly correct to say that the mixture con-sists of lithium carbonate, carbon and the oxides of 60 Lithium Benzoate and Salicylate. {A£ebv°u£y*mm I was always of the opinion that lithium benzoate was acidto litmus. Such, however, is not the case. The excess of ben-zoic acid is probably volatilized with the aqueous vapor, formedduring the process of manufacture. In the Digest of criticisms on the , 1890, Part II, , we find the following: The addition of a drop ofammonia to the ferric chloride T. S. (fifth paragraph), is neces-sitated by the slight acid reaction of the lithium}- salt. Ber-zelius prepared the basic ferric benzoate as directed by The reason for adding the ammonia is not apparent. Itcannot be to neutralize the acidity of the ferric chloride solution,for, when the basic iron benzoate is formed, hydrochloric acid isliberated, which, in turn, liberates benzoic acid. The voluminous precipitate formed when a ferric chloride solu-tion is added to an aqueous solution of lithium benzoate or anyother neutral soluble benzo
