Abstract
THE difficulty of obtaining adequate experimental data, and the fact that nearly everyone who has worked at the subject has had a composition of his own to bring before the public, has so hampered and restrained the free discussion and interchange of ideas on this most important question, that at the present time we have made but scant progress beyond the point reached twenty years ago, and my object in bringing this paper before you is more to excite you to discussion, and to show you the known facts of the case, than to tell you of any very new or startling discoveries.
