Extract

Professor H. Louis, of Armstrong College, handed over to me for examination some crystals of gypsum which had been sent to him by Mr. Frank E. Lott, A.R.S.M., F.I.C., of Burton-on-Trent. Mr. Lott has kindly furnished me with the following particulars.

The crystals were deposited in an apparatus employed for raising steam in the production of distilled water. This apparatus consists of a copper vessel enclosing steel steam pipes for heating the water. The crystals were deposited on the walls of the copper vessel and on the steel pipes, and had been formed within a period of twelve months.
