TEST FOR EXPLOSIVE OlL9.—The following is
from the Journal of Chemistry:—" Take a common quart
bowl, fill it one-third full of boiling water; now add cold
water, a little at a time, until a thermometer placed in it
indicates a temperature of 110 deg. Fahrenheit. A table-
spoonful of the oil to be tested may be turned into
the water, and stirred about with the thermometer. It
will float on the top, and it may be touched with a lighted
match or a bit of paper. If it takes fire the oil is danger-
ous ; and the seller can be prosecuted under the United
States law. It must not be used in the family. In this
experiment, so simple that all can make it, an accurate
thermometer should be used. The common thermometer
in a japanned iron case is usually sufficiently accurate.
To test the thermometer, bring the water into the condi-
tion of active boiling; warm the thermometer gradually
in the steam, and then plunge it into the water. If it indi-
cates a fixed temperature of 212 deg. the instruiutpt is a
good Que.
