Photographs are given showing a number of glass tanks which indicate that part of the rapid eating of tank block is due to upward solution from cracks in the block wall. This upward solution is due to the higher specific gravity of the glass after dissolving tank block material. Experiments made by adding clay to glass melted in small pots and analyzing show this. The density is also taken of glass adjacent to the tank wall.
