Its pressure against pipes is then almost 2,900 lb. per sq. in. This difficulty gives value to a new fluid which Dr. Arthur Dehon Little, Boston chemist, discovered in Germany and reported last week. "NS fluid" is the cryptic name of the substance. Basically it is a mixture of metallic chlorides-sodium chloride (table salt), anhydrous aluminum chloride and ferric chloride. The mixture turns to liquid...
