1t may not have occurred to every
one-at all events it is not noticed in any
of our treatises on practical pharmacy
that the easiest way to take out stopper
which has become fixed in the neck of a
bottle is to reverse the motion given to
it when put in, that is to knock the sop
per from right to left. In most instances
when stopper is fixed, without the in
OF an adhesive substance, it is
by turning it as one would drive screw.
The direction is almost invariably from
left to right, and thus thread is formed,
which it is easier to follow backward
than to break. The trouble with which
the removal of shoppers is usually attend
ed must form an apology for introducing
a suggestion of so little apparent import
ance.
We stated, says Galignani's Mesaenger,
. short time ago that Belgian peasant
had made the extraordinary discovery
that earth, coal and soda, mixed up to-
gether, would burn as well and better
than any other combustible, and the fact
has since then been proved beyond
doubt. The way in which he found this
out is curious. He had been scraping the
floor of his cellar in order to bring ali the
bits of coal lying about into heap,
which, mixed as it was with earth aud
other impurities, he put into the stove
To his establishment he found that this
accidental compound burnt better instead
Of worse than he expected, and emitted
much greater heat. Being an intelligent
man he endeavored to discover the cause,
and found that great deal of soda, prob
ably the remnant of the last wash, lay
about On the floor of the cellar, and that
some of it must have got into his heap.
He then made few experiments and at
length improved his compound sufficient.
" to render it practical.
