This is research in physical and inorganic chemistry. The four specific divisions of his field are: bettering the present atomic weights, investigating the compressibility of atoms, heat of chemical reactions, and electrochemical research. All the fine apparatus now used will be transferred, and in addition many accurate and expensive pieces have been presented by the Carnegie Institution at Washington, which was established in order to further scientific research.
