In 1884 some preliminary experiments, published in the ‘Journal of the Chemical Society,’ convinced me that moisture exerted an important influence on the combustion of carbon. Since that time experiments have been made, not only with that element but with several others, and the same influence seems to he exerted on the combustion of some, while no such influence could be detected in the case of other elements. It was discovered very early in the investigation that hydrogen, both free and combined, aided the union of carbon with dried oxygen, and therefore for the new experiments on this and other elements, special attention was devoted to their purification from hydrogen.
