Evening Classes and Lectures.
A course of laboratory demonstrations in Organic Chemistry will be given by Dr. Armstrong on Monday evenings at 6.30 to 9.30 o'clock, commencing October 3rd.
This course is principally intended for distillers (including coal-tar distillers and spirit rectifiers), and will be suited for candidates in subject 4 at the technological examinations; but it is hoped that students who have attended a previous course on the chemistry of brewing may be able to continue their attendance, and that new students of this branch of Organic Chemistry may also present themselves. Students desiring to obtain a knowledge of the chemistry of bread-making should attend on this evening.
On the same evening, at 6.30 to 9, Mr. Evans, chief assistant in the Chemical Laboratory, will give a course of laboratory and lecture demonstrations on the properties of the more important metals and metallic compounds, with reference to their practical applications and their analytical determination and estimation. Copper, iron, lead, silver, tin and zinc will be the metals principally treated of, and the wants of plumbers and metal workers generally will be as far as possible considered.
Dr. Armstrong will commence, on Friday, October 7th, a course of lecture and laboratory demonstrations on fuel, with special reference to coal gas as a heating and illuminating agent. Laboratory class, 6.30 to 8.30; Lecture, 8.30 p.m.
Candidates in the subject fuel at the technological examinations may with advantage attend this course.
City and Guilds Technical Institute.
In this course, the principles on which combustion depends will be fully explained and illustrated; also the methods of determining the heating power of fuels. The properties of the several fuels, their composition, and their heating powers will be demonstrated; and the relative advantages of various fuels and the different modes of applying heat will be discussed. Subsequently, the determination of temperature, the temperatures required for and obtained in various technical operations, and the circumstances affecting the combustion of fuels will be considered. Illuminating agents will form the subject of the latter part of the course, but it is important that students who may desire to specially devote their attention to this subject should attend the earlier part of the course.
In the laboratory course, the students will have the opportunity of experimentally studying the laws of combustion, the properties of fuels, and the method of determining their composition and heating power, and of instituting various experiments with fuels. Later on they will take up the subjects of illuminating agents.
