PUBLICATION OF THE “INSTITUTE NEWS.”

Editor: Prof. V. L. Nekrasov.

In 1909 the following funds were at the editor’s disposal:

A. REVENUE.

No.	Item	Amount	Total
1.	Appropriated from § 6, Art. 4 of the 1909 estimate	1500 r. 00 k.
2.	Appropriation from special funds:
	Reimbursement of the balance of the regular credit for 1908	647 r. 04 k.
	Appropriation for 1909	500 r. 00 k.
	Transferred from other credits	97 r. 60 k.	1244 r. 64 k.
	Total		2744 r. 64 k.

B. EXPENDITURE.

2.	From special funds		908 r. 79 k.
	Total		2408 r. 79 k.

Thus, the total expenditure for the publication of the “News” in 1909, not counting repayment of part of the 1908 debt, amounts to | 2318 r. 79 k.

As of January 1, 1910, there is a debt:

2.	To the Siberian Association of Printing	520 r. 00 k.
3.	To Pavlov’s Photography in Moscow	658 r. 00 k.
	Total	1343 r. 75 k.

This indebtedness is explained as follows: the editor of the Izvestiya requested an appropriation of 1,500 rubles from special funds for 1909; meanwhile, in view of the difficult financial position of the Institute, the Council was not in a position to grant the editor’s petition and to appropriate only 500 rubles, permitting the editor to borrow 1,000 rubles from the credit of one of the laboratories, by agreement with the person in charge, on condition that this sum later be reimbursed to the laboratory from special funds.

In addition, from the Council’s credit for an excursion through Siberia in 1909, 350 rubles were appropriated for printing reports on these excursions. But by January 1, 1910, payment of the debt to the library, the account of the Siberian Society, and Pavlov’s photography had not been made.

During 1910 the working capital for publication of the Izvestiya is expected to be as follows:

No.	Item	Amount	Balance / total
1.	Appropriation from § 6, Art. 4 of the estimate for 1910	1,500 r. 00 k.
2.	From the credit for excursions through Siberia	500 r. 00 k.	2,000 r. 00 k.
	Reimbursement of the remaining debt to the Library	165 r. 75 k.	1,834 r. 25 k.
2.	Annual appropriation requested from special funds	1,500 r. 00 k.
	Appropriation requested in addition to the 1909 appropriation	500 r. 00 k.	2,000 r. 00 k.
	Total		3,834 r. 25 k.

Item	Amount
For payment of debts of 1910, in the amount of	1,178 r. 00 k.
Free funds remaining for publication of the Izvestiya of the Institute in 1910	2,656 r. 25 k.

In 1909, vols. 13, 14, 15, and 16 of the Izvestiya were issued, with the issue of vol. 16 being made only in February 1910, owing to an accidental delay.

The articles included in the booklets of the Izvestiya were printed in Tomsk—in the printing houses of the Siberian Society of Printing, Orlova and Perelman—and in Kazan—in the University printing house. The Izvestiya are printed in a run of 400 copies.

Owing to the actual absence of funds for equipment, the payment of debts on old accounts and a certain replenishment of the inventory were carried out from the funds for maintenance and partly by borrowing from the Institute’s special funds.

During the two semesters, 157 students of the Mechanical Department and 35 students of the Engineering-Construction Department worked in the laboratory, carrying out practical exercises according to the program, which, because of the shortage of funds, was reduced from 18 to 8 items.

Students Shubin and Shestunov prepared a diploma thesis on the topic “Determination of the mechanical properties of pine from the Chulym dacha.”

Students of the Mechanical Department Fidler and Sapozhnikov began a diploma thesis on the topic “Comparison of the results of determining the hardness of metal by the Brinell and Ludwig methods.”

Physical Laboratory.

Head: Prof. B. P. Weinberg.

The Physical Laboratory, as in previous years, in 1909 received nothing from the Institute’s special funds; of the regular amount of 5,000 rubles, about half was spent on remuneration for the supervisors of practical classes and for attendants, while of the remaining money almost all went to paying unpaid accounts from previous years and to petty expenses, so that only the following was entered into the inventory:

Item	Amount

B. Pedagogical Part.

In the reporting year, students of all departments performed practical work in geodesy.

The work continued throughout the entire academic year.

The builders and miners performed a full-year course of work; the mechanics and chemists, a half-year course of work.

Owing to the great influx of students into the laboratory, practical work was conducted throughout the entire day in three shifts:

from 9 to 12 o’clock in the morning
“ 1 “ 4 “ in the afternoon
and “ 5 “ 8 “ in the evening.

In the reporting year the following worked:

Category	Department	Number
Students	Mining Department	150
Students	Civil Engineering Department	144
Students	Mechanical Department	256
Students	Chemical Department	79
Total		629 persons

In Mine Surveying, 29 persons worked, and the same number of students worked in magnetometry.

In addition, in Higher Geodesy, 28 persons worked during the first half-year and 30 persons during the second half-year; finally, two specialists worked in higher geodesy, triangulation, and mine surveying. Thus the total number of students who passed through the geodetic laboratory in the reporting year reaches 718 persons.

In the same reporting year, the geodetic laboratory also organized summer practice for 100 persons, in which students of the civil engineering and mining departments worked for one and a half months. The practice cost 3,600 rubles.

The practical laboratory work was directed by Aleksandr Platonovich Kalimanov (senior laboratory assistant, staff member), with the close participation of the draftsman Aleksei Ivanovich Pribytkov. In the second half of the reporting year, part of the supervisory work passed to the non-staff supervisor of practical classes, Panteleimon Vasil’evich Prikhod’ko.

To the pedagogical activity of the laboratory it is necessary to ascribe a series of laboratory publications—manuals for practical work, assignments in angular surveying, leveling, plane-table surveying, in the examination and geometric analysis of geodetic instruments, and so forth.

It is also necessary to point out the enormous labor resting upon the duties of the head of the laboratory and his assistants—namely, the review of students’ reported practical work. It is enough to note that each student of the civil engineering and mining departments submits 6 reported works, while each mechanic and chemist submits 4 works. All assignments given to the students are different.

Botanical Cabinet.

Head: Prof. V. V. Sapozhnikov.

As of January 1, 1909, the botanical cabinet had furniture, microscopes, and other instruments amounting to about 3,000 rubles. Dur-

During the reporting year, items totaling 256 rubles were acquired for the cabinet. Of these, the most valuable are: a cabinet for storing pictures and specimens (85 rubles), window curtains (about 30 rubles), and boxes for the herbarium (17 rubles). With its scanty resources, the botanical cabinet was unable during the reporting year to acquire the chemical balances, autoclave, several teaching microscopes, cabinet for students’ work, etc., that are urgently necessary for it. The developing activity of the cabinet and the ever-increasing demand for serious work placed upon the cabinet by the students compel me once again to repeat my petition of January 20, 1909, in which 1,000 rubles were requested for the above-mentioned needs of the cabinet.

The instructional activity in the reporting year consisted of: 1) lectures in a course of general botany (2 hours per week) and practical work in this course (4 hours per week); 2) lectures in a special course in zymotechnology (1 hour per week) for students who had chosen the technology of foodstuffs as their specialty, and practical classes in zymotechnology (1 hour per week). The small number of microscopes and the lack of space in the laboratory necessitate conducting practical work with groups of no more than 15 persons. In the spring semester of 1909, 79 persons completed the practical course in plant anatomy, and in the autumn semester, 31 persons; altogether, during the reporting year, 110 persons. In 1908, 59 persons passed through the laboratory. The increase of this figure in the reporting year by almost 50% is explained by the fact that, with the enormous number of those wishing to work, the botanical cabinet was forced to increase the number of working hours and to bring the number of groups up to 6 instead of the normal 4, with the last two groups having to work twice a week and 4 hours each time.

Practical classes in zymotechnology are held once a week; on the other days the students, under the direction of the laboratory assistant, make observations on the growth of cultures, on the development of microorganisms, etc. In the spring semester of the reporting year, 13 persons completed the course of work; in the autumn semester, 15 persons began the work.

During the half-year (from July to December 1909), in the laboratory of the botanical cabinet, student N. M. Smolnikov carried out a diploma project on the topic: “The Fungal Population of Siberian Berries.”

The distribution of pure cultures of yeasts among Siberian distilleries, breweries, and other factories, undertaken by the cabinet in the spring of 1908, continued in the reporting year as well and brought the cabinet 143 rubles 50 kopecks. Requests for yeasts came from many cities of Siberia, from Kurgan to Vladivostok inclusive.

During the reporting year, experiments on the fermentation of honey and berry juices also continued.

Geological Cabinet.

Head: Prof. V. A. Obruchev.

For the Geological Cabinet in 1909 the following acquisitions were made:

In all, 114 inventory numbers were received, for a total of 680 rubles 68 kopecks, including:

1) Books and maps: 100 titles in 126 volumes (and issues), for . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 492 r. 38 k.
Of these, 10 titles in 11 volumes were received as gifts from Prof. Emile Chaix Du Bois (Geneva) and V. A. Obruchev.

2) Collections of rocks and minerals: 9 titles in 3061 specimens, received . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . free of charge.
(As gifts from P. P. Gudkov, V. A. Obruchev, Mr. Petunnikov, V. E. Sapozhnikov, students of the Mining Department Messrs. Krivitsky, Nagaev, and Pavlov, and from the Institute’s Paleontological Cabinet).

3) Thin sections of rocks: 2 numbers in 664 specimens, for . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 41 r. 90 k.

4) Lantern slides for lectures: 3 numbers in 357 specimens, for . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 115 r. 95 k.

5) Photographs: 2 numbers in 110 specimens, for . . . . . . . . . . . 5 r. 45 k.

1. One portrait . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 r. — k.

Among the acquisitions, the following deserve mention: a portrait of the Siberian explorer, geologist I. D. Chersky, drawn by Institute instructor Z. A. Ronachevsky; a collection of rocks, soils, and fossils gathered by Prof. V. A. Obruchev and scholarship student M. A. Usov during the summer expedition of 1909 in the Barlyk, Maily, and Dzhair ranges in Dzungaria, numbering 1316 Nos. and 2900 specimens; a collection of rocks and minerals from the Bishtag asbestos and Morozovsky copper deposits of Minusinsk Uezd, delivered by student of the Mining Department I. M. Nagaev, and a block of coal from the Karatige mine on the Abakan River, delivered by him as well.

The Geological Museum in 1909, owing to the lack of funds for the acquisition of new cabinets, could not expand, despite the availability of collections that might have been put on display.

Work in the Geological Cabinet.

1) In the spring half-year of the reporting year the geological cabinet was open for student work from January 7 to May 15; the work consisted of the following:

a) In the petrographic laboratory, students of the VIII semester of the Mining Department studied rocks from collections and thin sections under the supervision of laboratory assistant P. P. Gudkov, using first the systematic collection described in detail in the “appendix to the course in petrography,” and then a collection of exercises, in which only the name of the rock was given, while the student himself had to determine all its constituent parts; in order to receive credit for this laboratory, the students were given exercises from a third collection, in which even the name of the rock was not indicated. In all, 21 students worked (16 of the mining and 5 of the mining-works specialties); 16 persons completed the work (13 of the mining and 3 of the mining-works specialties), 3 persons did not complete it (2 of the mining and 1 of the mining-works specialty), and 2 persons discontinued it owing to transfer to the Chemical Department (1 of the mining and 1 of the mining-works specialty).

In the same laboratory, students of the VIII and VI semesters of the Civil Engineering Department, 16 persons in all, worked according to an abbreviated program (first the study of rock-forming minerals, then of rocks), and all completed the work.

b) In the diploma laboratory, the student of the prospecting-geological specialty P. Ya. Medvedev completed a diploma work on the subject: the “Klyuchi” gold-ore deposit of the Nerchinsk District of the Trans-Baikal Region; students of the same specialty P. N. Pershin and I. M. Seleznev began diploma work on the description of part of the geological material collected during the summer practical work of 1908 in the vicinity of the city of Krasnoyarsk; and student I. E. Devyashin began a diploma work on the subject “Diorites and hornblende porphyrites of southwestern Transbaikalia.” The work was carried out under the supervision of Prof. V. A. Obruchev and laboratory assistant P. P. Gudkov.

II. In the autumn half-year of the reporting year, classes began on September 15 and continued until December 10.

a) In the petrographic laboratory, some students of the IX semester of the Mining Department, who had begun ...

of them in the 1908/9 academic year, in all 2 persons of the mining specialty; in addition, 14 students of the VII semester of the Mining Department again began work according to the above-mentioned program (7 persons of the mining specialty, 4 of the metallurgical, and 3 of the prospecting-geological).

In the same laboratory, according to the shortened program, students of the VII semester of the Civil Engineering Department worked, in all 21 persons, who began these studies for the first time; of them 18 persons completed the work and received credit, 3 persons did not complete it; 1 student of the same department continued the work begun in the spring half-year, completed it, and received credit.

Thus, in the petrographic laboratory in the autumn half-year there worked in all 38 students (16 of the Mining and 22 of the Civil Engineering Departments), of whom 19 completed the work.

b) In the diploma laboratory, students of the IX semester of the Mining Department, prospecting-geological specialty, worked (and almost completed) their diploma projects on the following topics:

I. E. Devyashin—Diorites and diorite porphyrites of Southwestern Transbaikalia.

N. S. Degtyarev—The Baleginskoye deposit of magnetic iron ore in the Transbaikal Region.

N. N. Pavlov—Traps and basalts of Southwestern Transbaikalia.

Pershin P. N. and Seleznev I. M.—Description for the geological map of the environs of the city of Krasnoyarsk, Stolby sheet, eastern half.

I. S. Timontaev—Melaphyres and augite porphyrites of Southwestern Transbaikalia.

Work in both laboratories was conducted under the guidance of the same persons as in the spring half-year.

In addition, in the geological cabinet, throughout the entire reporting year, with the exception of the summer vacation period, the stipend-holder mining engineer M. A. Usov worked on the determination of rocks from collections gathered in 1905, 06, and 09 in Tarbagatai, Saur, and Chinese Dzungaria.

Cabinet of Mining Art

As of January 1, 1910, all property amounted in total to 11895 rub. 76 kop.

Mineralogical Cabinet

Head: Prof. A. V. Lavrskii.

As of January 1, 1909, according to the inventory, the cabinet contained:

No.	Item	Copies	Rub.	Kop.
1)	Furniture, office supplies, etc.	405	5069	47
2)	Instruments, tools, and preparations	1693	6432	23

5)	Minerals in hand specimens	2861	4801	28
6)	Books and brochures	270	1115	38
	Total	7492	20056	82

During 1909 the following were received:

No.	Item	Copies	Rub.	Kop.
1)	Furniture, office supplies, etc.	5	132	00
2)	Instruments, tools, and preparations	297	273	35¹)
3)	Models	—	—	—
4)	Tables, geographical maps, etc.	5	9	05
5)	Minerals in hand specimens	163	101	31
6)	Books and brochures	33	127	00
	Total	503	642	71¹)

¹) The figure is approximate, owing to the absence of exact data for converting sums calculated in foreign currency into Russian money.

Thus, as of January 1, 1910, the cabinet’s inventory comprised:

		Specimens	Rubles	Kopecks
1)	Furniture, office supplies, etc.	410	5201	47
2)	Apparatus, instruments, and preparations	1990	6705	58¹)

6)	Books and brochures	303	1242	38
	Total	7995	20699	53¹)

No major acquisitions deserving special mention were received during the reporting year, partly because the cabinet, owing to customs misunderstandings, has not up to the present time received a shipment from the firm P. Müncke in Berlin, containing laboratory accessories in the amount of 321.07 German marks. The shipment was dispatched by the firm to its destination on July 21, 1909. Similar customs misunderstandings were also the reason why collections of minerals in the amount of 882.75 German marks, acquired at the Freiberg Mining Academy and dispatched by it to the destination on August 20, new style, 1909, were received by the cabinet only on January 7, 1910. In addition, the limited financial resources of the cabinet and the necessity of using them to fill gaps in very diverse departments of equipment did not permit significant sums to be allocated to any single item.

During the reporting year the cabinet received as gifts:

1) In the mineral department: From O. A. Ristakyan—a collection of ores and minerals from the Caucasus; from Prof. M.-E. Yanishevsky—several minerals from various localities in Russia; from S. K. Konyukhov—specimens of antimonite and cinnabar from Ekaterinoslav Province; from the museum of the Mining Institute in Petersburg—a collection of minerals from the Turkestan region; from D. V. Zhuravlev—specimens of coal from Turkestan; from A. V. Buyanov—ores and minerals from the Gulf of St. Olga in the Maritime Province. In addition, a number of individual donations from students of the Institute and other persons should be noted. As material for practical exercises, a considerable stock of minerals without specified localities was received from several students of the Institute.

¹) The figure is approximate, owing to the absence of exact data for converting sums calculated in foreign currency into Russian money.

2) In the book department: From the Geological Museum named after Peter the Great of the IMPERIAL Academy of Sciences—two brochures by V. I. Vorob’ev.

Information (general).

On the studies of students in 1909 in the mineralogical cabinet and laboratory.

I. Studies in the mineralogical laboratory.

A) In the spring half-year of the reporting year the laboratory was opened for studies on January 8 and closed on May 8. The work consisted in the determination of minerals: 1) non-silicates and 2) silicates—with the aid of the blowpipe. Each worker was required to determine, with the help and instructions of the supervisor—laboratory assistant A. V. Emel’yanov—not fewer than 40 problems in each of the two above-named groups of minerals; in conclusion, two control problems were given for independent solution. Students of the chemical department (metallurgical specialty) worked according to another (abridged) program. They were given for determination 35 problems (30 on non-silicate minerals and 5 on silicate minerals) and two control problems.

During the period from January 8 to May 8, 50 students of the mining department and 12 of the chemical department enrolled for the studies, 62 persons in all. Of this number, 41 students of the mining department and 3 of the chemical department worked in the laboratory; in addition, those who had enrolled in the autumn semester of 1908 continued their work: 15 students of the mining department and 3 of the chemical department. Thus, in all, 62 persons worked, of whom 51 completed their work and received credit: 47 students of the mining department and 4 of the chemical department.

B) In the autumn half-year, studies were conducted in the laboratory from September 15 to December 15. During this time 62 persons enrolled for the work: 48 students of the mining department and 14 of the chemical department. The students of the mining department worked chiefly (there were 43 of them, whereas 2 chemists were engaged). Fifteen students of the mining department completed their work and received credit.

II. Studies in the mineralogical cabinet.

A) Spring half-year.

a) Studies in the examination of the crystalline forms of minerals. These studies took place at all times when the cabinet was open, i.e., from 9 o’clock in the morning until 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

From the second half of the semester the time for classes was increased by three hours, from 5 to 8 o’clock in the evenings. The classes consisted of analyzing crystalline forms and drawing projections. The teaching aids used in the classes were chiefly cardboard and glass models.

b) Classes for students in the study of the optical properties of minerals.

In view of the difficulty of supplying all the students with microscopes and thin sections, the students were divided into 12 groups, with the calculation that there should be no more than 10 persons in a group. The classes were conducted during hours free from lectures, each group being allotted 2 weekly hours during the half-semester.

c) Classes in descriptive mineralogy and in determining minerals by means of microscopic observations.

The classes in mineral microscopy, chiefly of the silicates, proceeded in parallel with the students’ study of descriptive mineralogy—during the hours when the cabinet was open for classes in the other branches of mineralogy.

B) Autumn half-year.

In this half-year the classes in all three branches of mineralogy were held at the same time as in the spring semester of this year, and certain persons began their studies on 16 August.

The following table shows the number of students who worked in the cabinet and received credits after passing the corresponding examination in 1909.

Subjects of instruction	Spring semester	Autumn semester	Total

Paleontological Cabinet

Head: Prof. M. E. Yanishevsky.

In 1909 the Paleontological Cabinet received:

Item	Amount
a) Books, in the amount of	382 rub. 40 kop.
b) Slides for lectures, 202 specimens, in the amount of	116 rub. 30 kop.
c) Bones of large fossil animals, in the amount of	85 rub. 50 kop.
d) Small furniture, in the amount of	10 rub. —
Total, in the amount of	594 rub. 20 kop.

In addition, collections gathered by various persons during excursions in Siberia and European Russia were received by the Paleontological Cabinet.

The Cabinet conducted the usual classes with students in Paleontology I and II. In addition, during the past year students of the geological-exploration specialty carried out diploma works, which consisted in processing the material held in the Cabinet, collected in various localities of European Russia and Siberia.

The following works were completed:

1) by Mr. Nakhimson: Materials for the study of the Devonian deposits of the Mugodzhar Mountains.

2) by Mr. Nifontov: Materials for the study of the fauna of the Devonian deposits in the Mugodzhar Mountains.

3) by Mr. Belyaev: Materials for the study of the Devonian deposits of the Mugodzhar Mountains and Dzungaria.

4) by Mr. Bykov: description of Carboniferous paleontological material collected in 1906 by Prof. Obruchev’s Dzungarian expedition in Urkashar and Semistau.

Of the works indicated, the first two, by resolution of the mining department, are being printed in the Proceedings of the Institute.

Museum of Drawing Aids

Head: Lecturer Z. A. Rokachevsky.

Plaster casts of figures, busts, cardboard models, folders, and other items were acquired, totaling 170 rubles; including packing and delivery, the cost reaches 350 rubles.

Instructional Section of the Mechanical Workshops

Head: Prof. T. I. Tikhonov.

For the maintenance of the mechanical workshops in 1909, from the Institute’s current funds there was allocated 3000 rubles.

Expenditure	Amount
For the maintenance of the staff and workers	1375 rub. 40 kop.
For replenishing the inventory	68 rub. 32 kop.
For the purchase of materials for current student work	385 rub. 92 kop.
For the purchase of books and journals	36 rub. 50 kop.
For payment of debts from previous years	1463 rub. 93 kop.
Total	3330 rub. 7 kop.
Overexpenditure	330 rub. 7 kop.

Note: From the 1909 credit the following debts were paid off:

Debt	Amount
To the firm Siemens and Halske for an electric motor	444 rub. 50 kop.
To the firm Bromley Bros., the balance of the sum for a chucking lathe	450 rub. —
To the firm T. P. Buro in Tomsk, according to accounts for 1906, 1907, and 1908	569 rub. 43 kop.

In the past year, 1909, instruction was conducted according to programs previously approved by the mechanical department and was completed by the following number of students:

Under the program of Mechanical Workshop I, 90 persons began bench-work operations in 1909, of whom 27 completed all the work; under the program of Mechanical Workshop II, 72 began the work, and 71 completed it. The poor success rate in students’ completion of bench-work operations is caused by the abnormal organization of instruction in the mechanical workshops: private orders carried out by the mechanical workshops do not make it possible to place all available machine tools at the students’ disposal during instructional hours, as a result of which students work on the machines in turns, with a great loss of time.

In 1909, the following diploma works by students of the mechanical department of the Tomsk Technological Institute were completed in the mechanical workshops:

1) “The Influence of Cutting Speed on the Coefficient of Metal Cutting.”
Students Ezdakov and Uftyuzhnin.

2) “The influence of chip thickness on the coefficient of metal cutting.” Students Tyulenev and M. Taubert.

3) “The variation of the coefficient of metal cutting as a function of the ratio of the dimensions of the chip.” Students Smirnov and Mamontov.

Mechanical Workshops.

Manager (temporary) laboratory assistant K. I. Zamaraev.

During the past year 1909, the mechanical workshops expended, for the execution of private orders, from the Institute’s special funds, 18,663 rub. 87 kop.

Bills for executed private orders were submitted during the reporting year in the amount of	16,652 r. 57 k.
Unpaid bills for acquired materials as of January 1, 1910, amount to	1,381 r. 37 k.
(As of January 1, 1909, there were such bills in the amount of 1,123 r. 20 k.; and as of July 1, 1908, 2,842 r. 22 kop. had been transferred.)
Unexpended materials in the workshops’ warehouse amount to	2,199 r. 65 k.
Finished articles for sale in the workshops’ warehouse as of January 1, 1910, consisting of stock for private orders, amount to	480 r. 00 k.
Tallow increased during the reporting year by 120 poods in weight, reckoning at 1 r. 60 k. per pood, in the amount of	192 r. 00 k.
Freight for hauling tallow, weighing 120 poods, reckoning at 1 r. 40 k. per pood, in the amount of	168 r. 00 k.
Patterns were made in the reporting year for	900 r. 00 k.

Gas Plant.

Manager Prof. V. N. Dzhons.

In 1909 the Institute’s gas plant operated daily, for a total of 214 days from June 1 to January 1, 1910; 459 charges of 21 poods each were made, and 21 charges of 14–27 poods.

The results of the plant’s operation were as follows:

Coal consumed for distillation	9,999 poods
Coal consumed for heating	3,440 poods
Coke obtained	5,726 poods
Gas obtained	1,628,060 cubic feet

The average gas yield was

\[ \frac{1628000}{9999}=162.81 \]

cubic feet per pood of coal, which yield must be considered very high, and is explained by the better qualities of the coal and the forced operation of the Scheftal furnaces.

The coke consumption was as follows:

Item	Amount
To the University	100 poods
To the metallurgical laboratory of non-ferrous metals	15 poods
To the Central Station	40 poods
Sold to private persons	348 poods
For firing the gas furnaces	5357 poods
Total	5860 poods

There is no coke in reserve.

Consumption of gas tar:

Item	Amount
Issued to the Economic Committee of the Technological Institute	150 ved.
Sold to various persons	26 ved.
Sold to various persons	195 poods
