These tables are founded on the experiments of which the results were given in the Report and Supplementary Report on the best method of proportioning the excise on spirituous liquors. They are computed for every degree of heat from 30° to 80°, and for the addition or subtraction of every one part in a hundred of water or spirit; but as the experiments themselves were made only to every fifth degree of heat, and every five in the hundred of water or spirit, the intermediate places are filled up by interpolation in the usual manner, with allowance for second differences. Every table consists of eight columns, and there are two tables for every degree of heat. In the first column of the first of the two tables, are given the proportions of spirit and water by weight, 100 parts of spirit being taken as the constant number, to which additions are made successively of one part of water from 1 to 99 inclusively. The first column in the second table has 100 parts of water for the constant number, with the parts of spirit decreasing successively by unity, from 100 to 1 inclusively. It must be observed, that each of these tables occupying one page, is divided in the middle for adapt­ing it more conveniently to the size of the paper; but the whole of each page is to be considered as one continued table. The second column of all the tables gives the specific gravities of the corresponding mixtures of spirit and water in the first column, taken from the table of specific gravities in the Supplementary Report, the intermediate spaces being filled up by interpolation. In the third column 100 parts by measure of pure spirit, at the temperature marked on the top of every separate table, is assumed as the constant standard number, to which the respective quantities of Water by measure, at the same temperature, are to be proportioned in the next column. The fourth column, therefore, contains the proportion of water by measure, to 100 measures of spirit, answering to the pro­portions by weight in the same horizontal line of the first column. The fifth column shews the number of parts which the quantities of spirit and water contained in the third and fourth columns would measure when the mixture has been completed; that is, the bulk of the whole mixture after the concentration, or mutual penetration, has fully taken place. The sixth column, deduced from the three preceding ones, gives the effect of that concentration, or how much smaller the volume of the whole mixture is, than it would be if there was no such principle as the mutual penetration. The seventh column shews the quantity of pure spirit by measure, at the temperature in the table, contained in 100 measures of the mix­ture laid down in the fifth column. Lastly, the eighth column gives the decimal multiplier, by means of which the quantity by measure of standard pure spirit, of , 825 specific gravity at 60° of heat, may at once be ascertained, the temperature and specific gravity of the liquor being given; pursuant to the idea suggested in the Report, that “the simplest and most equitable “method of levying the duty on spirituous liquors would be, “to consider rectified spirit as the true and only excisable “matter.“

Describes a three-part driving program for low vision persons. Potential trainees are first interviewed to detect problems that may interfere with success. Suitable candidates are then trained to quickly detect and recognize objects through a bioptic lens system. In the third phase, a mobility instructor gives training in various aspects of the automobile and driving, and the trainee is quizzed on road signs and markings while riding as a passenger. Students successfully completing all three phases may then go on to obtain a Learner's Permit and take driving lessons in the usual manner.

Precious Stones

From time to time I have accumulated a large number of results obtained in identifying precious stones by means of their specific gravity. From these results I have selected about 70, which will be found arranged below. The observations have been made with care, and, where no temperature is given, at 15° 5 C.; an asterisk denotes those determinations in which a very accurate assay balance by Oertling was used, and in which the specimens were immersed in alcohol, not in water. In these latter determinations any error would be confined to the third place of decimals.

The properties and composition of buffaloes' colostrum have been compared with those of cows' colostrum. The most significant differences found between the two may be summarized as follows:(1) Buffaloes' colostrum was richer in total solids, lactose, total N, globulin N and proteose-peptone N than cows' colostrum.(2) Buffaloes' colostrum had a much wider range of fat content than cows' colostrum. A distinct difference between the two colostrums lay in the fact that while buffaloes' colostrum was definitely poorer in fat content than normal buffaloes' milk, cows' colostrum was richer in fat content than is normal cows' milk.Changes in buffaloes' mammary secretion during the transition period from colostrum to milk.The following is a summary of the most significant trends in the properties and composition of buffaloes' mammary secretion during the transition period:(1) The specific gravity, acidity and chlorine decreased until they reached a normal value at the fifth milking. This compares well with the trends reported in the literature for cows' mammary secretion during the transition period.(2) The pH increased gradually until it reached its normal level before the fifth milking.(3) The highest level of total solids occurred at the first and second milking, and dropped sharply at the third milking to the level normally found in buffaloes' milk.(4) Changes in the lactose content from the second milking onwards were very slight. This contrasts with the known trend during the transition period in cows, when a gradual increase from a low level at the first milking to higher levels at the following milkings is noticeable.(5) The total N, globulin N, albumin N and proteose-peptone N decreased from relatively high levels at the first and second milkings to lower levels at later milkings, and thus closely followed the trend shown by the total solids.Buffaloes' mammary secretion may be considered comparable in its composition to normal buffaloes' milk and suitable for human consumption from 5 to 7 days after parturition.

The third part of the tenth session of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe was held from January 19 to 22, 1959. Mr. Hamdi Ragip Atademir (Turkish Democrat), Vice-President of the Assembly, informed the Assembly that the President had sent invitations to the United States Congress and to the Canadian Parliament with a view to organizing a second Strasbourg Conference between delegations of the two parliaments in question and a delegation of the Consultative Assembly. Acting on behalf of Mr. Selwyn Lloyd, Chairman of the Committee of Ministers, Lord Lansdowne, United Kingdom Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs, then presented the Second Supplementary Report of the Committee to the Assembly. Speakers in the general debate on the Report stressed the necessity for better coordination of these two main organs of the Council.

scholarly journals On the optical and physical properties of tabasheer. By David Brewster, LL. D. F. R. S. Lond. and Edin. In a letter to the Right Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, Bart. G. C. B. P. R. S. &c

Tabasheer is a substance found in the cavities of the bamboo, existing originally in the state of a transparent fluid, but gradually indurating into a solid of different degrees of hardness: it consists of 70 silica, + 30 potash and lime. One variety has a milky transparency, transmitting a yellowish, and reflecting a bluish light; another is translucent, and a third opake: the two first varieties become transparent, and evolve air when immersed in water: the third evolves air also, but remains opake. If the first varieties be only slightly wetted they become quite opake. The property of acquiring transparency by the evolution of air from, and the absorption of water by its pores, belongs also to the hydrophanous opal; but the faculty of becoming opake by a small quantity, and transparent by a larger, of water, shows a singularity of structure in tabasheer. As the tabasheer disengages more air than hydrophane, its pores must be more numerous; and therefore the transmission of light, so as to form a perfect image, indicates either a very feeble refractive power or some peculiarity in the construction of its pores. To determine this, Dr. Brewster formed a prism of tabasheer with an angle of 34° 15', and upon measuring its refractive power found it very low, though various in different specimens, the index of refraction varying from 1·11 to 1·18, that of water being 1·33, of flint-glass 1·60, of sulphur 2·11, of phosphorus 2·22, and of the diamond 2·47. So that tabasheer has a lower refractive power than any other solid or liquid, and holds an intermediate place between water and the gases. Dr. Brewster then gives a formula for computing the absolute refractive power of bodies, and a table of results, from which it appears that, in this respect, the refractive power of tabasheer is so low as to be separated by a considerable interval from all other bodies. The author next proceeds to detail a variety of experiments upon the absorbent powers of the different kinds of tabasheer, in respect to several liquids, and the corresponding effects upon its optical properties and specific gravity, and concludes with observations on the cause of the paradox exhibited by the transparent tabasheer, in becoming opake by absorbing a small quantity of water, and transparent when the quantity is increased.

In 2007 during its excavations within the citadel of Bjni fortress the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia discovered a stone with an inscription in Arabic characters. We have read this Persian inscription in five lines sculpted on a stone fragment showing missing parts from all sides. The first line is damaged and is unreadable, the second line mentions the name of some Isfahsalar Muhammad/Mohammad طوسي... Tusi محمد سلار] سفه ا ....[ The third line is also unclear, except for the guessable word ‘Islam’. The fourth line reads ‘May the God bless all’ in Persian. The fifth line communicates the date, which is ... [ئه [ما خمس و عين ...The date is incomplete, however it is definitely the 500th year of Hijra or the XII century AD. To define the decade we need to offer numbers ending with عين ..These are forty اربعين seventy سبعين or ninety تسعين . From these figures we prefer seventy سبعين because of a few considerations: if it is forty اربعين horizontal line of alif would be visible even if it is damaged; there is a dot over عين... even though ‘ba’s dot has been put over and not under the letter. سبعين or ninety also has no dots. So by choosing seventy, we can date the inscription to the period of 1175-1183. We can’t offer a more precise date as the first number before seventy is lost. We also believe that this inscription is not an epitaph as there are no Islamic formulas for the deceased put right before the name; also the sculpted characters are too big for a gravestone and in addition they are positioned perpendicularly to the stone unlike Armenia’s Muslim gravestones. Therefore, this must be a fragment of an inscription commemorating some construction or maybe a repair or strengthening of the Bjni fortress or citadel executed by the order of Isfahsalar Muhammad Tusi. Unfortunately the inscription does not communicate the dynasty to which it belongs. However, there is another Arabic inscription of 1174 by Shaddadids carved on a citadel of Nerkin Talin/Dashtadem (Aragatsotn region of Armenia). The newly discovered Persian inscription is evidence that Muslim military had some presence during the last decades of the XII century in the Armenian fortress of Bjni.

The third part of the eleventh ordinary session of the Consultative Assembly was opened on January 18, 1960, with a tribute to its President, Mr. John Edward, who had died at Strasbourg on November 23, 1959. At the onset, the Assembly unanimously adopted a motion against anti Semitic outbreaks presented by the Political Committee, which a delegation from the Israeli parliament gratefully acknowledged. A motion to adjourn the election of the President until the opening of the next session was also adopted. Following presentation of a report on the activities of the Bureau and Standing Committee, the second supplementary report to the tenth report of the Committee of Ministers was presented by its chairman, Mr. Pierre Wigny, Belgian Foreign Minister. He noted that the Assembly had been disturbed over the fact that the Council of Europe was no longer fulfilling an adequate role, and stressed the importance of the exchanges of views which the Committee of Ministers had decided could take place at the request of any member state. In the economic sphere he called attention to recent moves toward economic coordination, and, before concluding, asked the Assembly to examine further both the question of Eurafrican relations and that of rationalization of European institutions.

Two equal diameter ABS cylinders, offset from tandem, were subjected to uniform and sheared flows in a current tank at subcritical Reynolds numbers. Both tubes were filled with a saltwater solution to produce a specific gravity of 1.38. An accelerometer in each cylinder was used to measure the vortex-induced vibration response, which primarily varied between the third and seventh transverse bending modes. The cylinders were spaced at 3 to 20 diameters in the in-line direction and at 0, 0.5, and 1.0 diameter in the offset direction. Test results indicate that a downstream cylinder, for a pure tandem (no offset) configuration, experiences less vibration than the upstream cylinder when the upstream cylinder rms displacement is larger than about 0.35D. Offsets of 0.5 and 1.0 times the outside diameter produce lower vibration of the downstream cylinder relative to that of the upstream cylinder.

The main factor we do have to figure out in judging someone’s work performance is satisfaction in work and work  motivation, Satisfaction means having an exciting feeling deep inside someone’s heart in order to raise the spirit of work. meanwhile a motivation is another important element  to  encourage someone in accomplishing a  better achievement. There is not  doubt at all that both satisfaction and motivation will definetily bring the entrie employee to a better work performance. It is a compulsory  for every employee to possess a high work motivation as well as its satisfactory in work. Both  high motivation and its satisfactory   in work will eventually carry out all the employees to a brighter work performance.The research formula as follows : (1) The influence of partial satisfaction in work towards the employee’s work performance, (2) The influence of partial work motivation towards the employee’s work performance, (3) The influence of simultaneous both satisfaction in work of work motivation  happening or done at the same moment towards the employees of Grand Jaya Raya Resort and Convention Hotel Cipayung Bogor. The use of analysis method is based on multiple linear regressive method as well as hypothetical linear examination. Operated by the usage of SPSS program ver.17.0. The writer’s research object goes to satisfaction in work , work motivation and its influence towards the work performance of the employees of Grand  Raya Resort and Convention Hotel Cipayung Bogor. The research population has taken into the entrie employee of Grand Raya Resort and Convention Hotel Cipayung Bogor with the total number of 137 employees. To  determine the research sample, the writer used stratified random sampling with the total determine of 58 respondents.  The SPSS  ver.17 .0 program obstained coefficient determination result  R-Square / R2 = 0,669 at the level α = 5%. where the examination towards determined coefficient done by  “test-F” resulted smaller probability than use of examination done in research  ( Sig. < α or 0,000 < 0,05 due to the equality model of multiple regressive Y = - 193.543 + 4.888X1 + 2.184X2. The abovementioned  result indicates that simultaneous satisfaction in work and work motivation will influence the work performance at the same moment, it has been  proven that the third hypotesis has mentioned abviously that satisfaction in work and work motivation at the same time will simultaneously be influencing the employee’s work performance. A better work satisfactory and its motivation shall somehow be done constantly, due to proven result of the research revealed that the constant number b0   = less than 1 even minus ( - 193.543 ). On the other hand, it also revealed that the variable of work satisfactory and work motivation ought to be done to maintain the employee’s work performance .

The definition given of chylous urine is, that it is urine which is white from the suspension of fatty matter in it. An opportunity of observing a case of this disease having occurred to the author, he was led to make the experiments described in this paper. A harness-maker, age 32, half-caste, who had lived in London for twelve years, had been passing such water for nine months. On examination of the water made at 2 p. m. it solidified, looking like blanc-mange in ten minutes. It was very feebly acid, contained fibrin, albumen, blood-globules and fat; specific gravity=1015. 1000 grs. of this urine gave— 44·42 grs. total solid residue. 8·01 grs. total ash. 14·03 grs. albumen. 8·37 grs. fat. 13·26 grs. urea and extractive matter. ·75 gr. loss. 955·58 grs. water. In order to watch the variations produced by food and exercise in the appearance of the urine, every time the urine was made, for five days and nights it was passed into bottles marked with the hour. From these observations, and more particularly from the third, fourth, and sixth days, it was evident that the fibrin and albumen appear in the urine when no fat is there, and that the albuminous urine occurs before food has been taken, and disappears during the night with perfect rest. Thus the fourth day, at 7 h 15 m a. m., on first getting up the urine contained the slightest trace of albumen. The specific gravity = 1027; the precipitate by alcohol=0·8 gr. per 1000 grs. urine.
