Unbreakable glass for miners’ lamps and glass ca- pable of standing high degrees of beats for test tubes, retorts, steam gauges and the like had been entire- ly imported from Germany. But analyses of glass of this kind con- ducted at King’s College, London, by Prof. Herbert Jackson, T. P. Mer- ton and assistants, have at least been helpful in sugeesting synthetic ex- periments. The work involved a careful study of the chemistry of silicates, aluminates, borates and the ke in relation to the manufacture As the result, the research committee reports eleven formulas, which have been subjected to rigor- ous practical tests to prove their suitability. Among the most success- ful is one for miners’ lamps—a mat- ter of great importance in the coal mining districts. The formulas have been put at the service of the manufacturers without charge in order that these special s may soon be produced on a > industrial scale.
