Drying a Specific Gravity Bottle or Flask

1t not uafrequently occurs that a
clean, dry sp. gr. bottle or flask is
wanted for use, and In hurried drying
sometimes gets cracked. The following
little device has been found useful I.
Wash the bottle or flask with distilled
water and drain it for moment or two.
Then wash with little strong alcohol
and drain the bottle second time. The
alcohol need not be wasted, as it is but
slightly diluted with the residual water
from the first washing. When the bot
tie is again drained it remains wet with
the diluted alcohol. Ponr in little dry
ether and wssh the bottle out with this.
Again drain, and the warmth of the
hand or very little extra heat will then
completely dry the bottle sr ASK, The
alcohol must Of course be stroaS. and
tbe ether dry, CT the device fails.

Hospatsl Riot In n. Y. IN 17ss.

While the city WAS in the hands Of
the British, and OF course, under milf
tary rule, there was curious and
almost ridiculous oatbreak. IL appears
that medical students had been indis-
Greet in the pursuit of subjects for dis
section, and the story was that graves
of respectable persons had been robbed,
and that bodies, even of females, had
been improperly exposed. And now
behold how great flame little spark
will kindle. In the Spring some boys
were pla cing on the open ground in
the rear OF the old hospital that stood on
Broad way opposite Pearl street, when
a thOughtless medical student showed
from window an amputated arm. One
of the boys went up ladder 10 get q
nearer view, when the student told
him to look at his mothers arm. Ii
happened that the boys mother had
died not long before, and he hurried
off and told his father, who was
mason, working IN Broadway. The
grave was sought; it had been robbed
the body was gone. In less than an
hour furious crowd surrounded the
hospital, broke in, and began the work
of destruction. They tore down and
smashed every anatomical specimen.
and, indeed, everything breakable
within their reach. Finally they dis
covered some bodies freshly dug up.
This maddened them, and they threat
e1ed death 10 the students. The Mayor
and several leading citizens, however.
came 10 The rescue, and appease1 the
mob by sending the students TO Jail for
safe keeping. The trouble WAS sus-
pended only. Next day the mob insist
ed on going through Columbia College
in search of stolen bodies. They were
allowed to do 80; and they also search
ed the houses of a number of physi-
clans. Not satisfied they repaired to the
Jail, and tried to break in TO kill the
stadenst. military force was called
out anI marched through the crowd,
but the rioters only laughed at them.
and in one case forcibly took away |
their arms. The siege Of the Jail was
kept up until large force of Militia
came and fired three or four times |
point blank into the mob. The |
shrieks of the wounded aud dying |
brought the infuriated crowd to their |
senses, and the trouble was over. But |
there was much bad feeling; the firing |
of the military was denounced as muir |
der, and it was necessary for the doc
tors and students to keep away from
the City until the excitement had worL
