Abstract
IT has often been remarked that purely scientific research frequently bears fruit of practical value. A fresh illustration of this fact is afforded by the work of Prof. Pictet, the eminent man of science of Geneva, who is turning to practical account the apparatus by which, in 1877, he first reduced hydrogen and oxygen to the liquid state. At Berlin, where he now resides, he has established, on the scale of a small factory, what he terms a “laboratoire à basses températures.” The following account of the work carried on and the results obtained is taken from papers read by the Professor before different scientific Societies of Berlin.
