Cailletets Apparatus.—The hollow steel cylinder A is fastenedto an iron frame by the straps i?, and when filled with water throughthe cup G, a very high pressure may be produced in any vessel withwhich it may be connected, upon turning the large hand-wheel M, thehub of which, revolving in the journal-box jP, forms a nut, by whichthe square-threaded screw of a steel plunger is worked. The flow ofwater is controlled by a screw plug operated by the small hand-wheelO, whereby also the pressure exerted upon gases may be suddenlyrelieved. The water is forced through a small metal tube into thehollow cylinder which is supported by the tablet />, and capable ofwithstanding a pressure of 900 to 1,000 atmospheres, measured by the i88 Liquefaction of Gases. f Am. Jour. Pharm.( April, 1878. gauges N and N. a contains the mercury reservoir, into which isplunged the glass tube filled with gas. This part of the arrangementis shown in Fig. 4, which is half size.

Fig. 4. Fig. 5. Fig. 5 represents the same portion of the apparatus supported on atripod, P, for.use in lecture experiments in connection with any power-ful force-pump. E is a hollow nut for connecting the pipe U, and Nis a plug for closing the orifice in R when the reservoir a is being filledwith mercury. After introducing the open end of the gas tube, T, intothe mercury the other parts of the apparatus are placed in position, as AmAP°rnr;i8?8arm) Minutes of the College, 18 9 shown. The upper end of T is surrounded by the glass cylinder Mycontaining liquid nitrous oxide or other freezing mixture, and coveredby the bell-glass (?, which contains material for absorbing the moisturewhich would otherwise collect upon M and obstruct observation. Theliquid freezing mixture may be withdrawn through the stop-cock r. The water entering through U presses upon the mercury, forcing itinto T, and compressing the gas, which is finally liquefied between band p. The.apparatus is easily managed, and
