This is a scientific data table, not a Victorian penny dreadful. **Table III** presents measurements of gas adsorption at various pressures (100-700 m.m. of mercury at 0°C), organized by different adsorbent materials (silica gel, silverized gel, platinized gel, palladized gel, and copperized gel) and various adsorbate gases (carbon dioxide, ethylene, carbon monoxide, methane, oxygen, and hydrogen). The table displays cubic centimeters of gas adsorbed under each condition. This appears to be from a scientific or technical publication by L. H. Reyerson and L. E. Swearingen documenting experimental chemistry results.
