Briquettes of compressed calcium carbido have been prepared by H. Koller, of Vienna, and are claimed to be ma bydroscopic, keeping indolitely, and to aroid the danger of con tinning to give off gas after withdrawal of water. They are made by intimately mixing, finely granulated carbide with a binding material and compressing in molds. In contact with water, the briquettes evolve accetylens at a perfectly uniform rate, each particls of carbide being acted or only as its profective covering is dis- solved away, and when the water is forced out of the apparatus the material remains suspended absolutely lapotive in the gas generated. As the briquettes gradually dissolve, the moist precipitated residue falls away, ensuring com- plete use of the carbide.
