Abstract
LORD RAYLEIGH'S interesting communication on superheated steam in your last issue (p. 375) leads me to ask whether it is generally known that solutions can be heated up to temperatures higher than 100° by passing into them steam at 100°. The late Peter Spence at the Exeter meeting of the British Association in 1869 called attention to the fact that by simply passing steam at 100° directly into a strong solution of nitrate of soda (other salts will of course answer) it was possible to raise the liquor to its boiling-point, about 121°.
