large attendance three very interesting papers were read the first of which was by dr j h wilson on at omic weight determinations dr wilson outlined several distinct methods for determining the atomic weights of elements and laid spe cial emphasis on the method which governs the quantitative determin ations an example of this method is the determination of the atomic weight of magnesium silver chlo ride is precipitated from a solution of magnesium chloride and know ing the amount of magnesium chlo ride taken the amount of silver chloride obtained and the molecular weight of silver chloride the mole cular weight of magnesium chloride can be obtained subtracting from this the atomic weight of chlorine in its proper proportions gives as a result the atomic weight of magne sium by this method the most ac curate results are obtained the pro bability of error being made almost infinitesimal following dr wilson r j hauck 12 read a paper on the open hearth process which he illustrated by
