Summary:18, 9 6 9. Higgins, H., [Higgins, E.]. Aug. 12. Right to Patent relinquished. Non - metallic substances, obtaining; electrodes.-In the reduction of organic substances, such as unsaturated fatty acids and their salts and esters, a catalyzing-agent composed essentially of an oxide or hydroxide of cobalt or nickel, or a mixture of these bodies, is placed in the cathode 'compartment. The oxide or hydroxide may be suspended in the electrolyte, or may form part of the cell, being mixed with or deposited upon porous powder, such as kieselguhr or pumice, and compressed with or without the addition of cement,- gypsum, gums, or the like. Alternatively it may be mixed with sugar solution, and optionally with chemicallyinert binding-material, and carbonized to form the whole or part of the cathode, which may resemble a secondary-battery plate.
