The elevator derricks at Tenth Avenue were very efficient, and each could take care of the material from four derricks at the bottom, hoisting 250 cu. yd. per shift a height of 60 ft.

What is the percentage composition of the brass? !Answers!: 69.75% Cu; 29.92% Zn; 0.33% Pb. !Answer!: 2.48 cc. !Answer!: 0.83 cc. !Answer!: 0.0152 gram.

I have sown two similar and neighboring beds with the thoroughly mixed seeds of parent-plants of the same strain and culture, using as much as 2.5 cu. cm. per square meter.

It seemed possible to compare the numerical proportion of the mutated seeds with those of normal plants. In order to ascertain this proportion I sowed the greatest part of my 10 cu. cm. of seed and planted some 2,000 young plants in little pots with well-manured soil. I got some 1,750 flowering plants and observed among them 16 wholly peloric individuals.
