FIELD AND FIREsIpE.

CEMENT FOR GLAss.-A good cement for
glass, and one which completely resists the
solven. action of water, may, i. is said, be
prepared by the following process:
From five to ten parts of pure dry gelatine
are dissolved in 100 parts of water. To the
solution about ten per cent. OF a concentrated
solution of bircromate of potash is added, an d
the liquid is kept in the dark. When arti-
eles Joined by this cement are exposed to the
light, the gelatine film is acted upon by the
chemical rays, the achromate being partially
reduced, and the film of cement becomes
tough and durable.
