tected this substance in six samples
of soap, which had over sixCy per
cent. Of water, aud were sold by their
manufacturers at the same price as
another manufacturer sold soap with
twenty-four per cent. Other gelatl-
nous substances, like silica and or
gauic substances, are used. They
are easily detected by chipping up
the soap and dissolving it i'll alcohol,
in which they are insoluble, while
pure soap is perfectly soluble. The
undesoIved residue may be filtered
out and more carefully examined
Hot water will dissolve the gelati
nous substances if they are organic,
like gelatine or glue leaving alumina,
silica, etc, unaffected. By evaporat-
ing the solution and weighing the
residue, the quantity of gelatine can
be quantitively determined. The
silica and alumina can be dried, then
ignited IN platinum or porcelain
crucible and weighed.
Water glass is frequently added to
soap, and although it is not an injuri-
GUS lngredient,such soap can be made
cheaper, and should be sold as wafer
glass soap.
In some samples, the author found
starch, gypsum, chalk, clay, phos>
phate OF lime (bone ash], and barytes,
or blanc fix, as the adulteranls. All
these can be separated by dissolving
the dry soap in alcohol. The alec
holic solution may be evapolated to
dryness, dried to 2120 Fab, and
weighed.
The author found more adultera-
ton in the Berlin soaps than any
other; but in the little city Of Mum
ster, out Of twelve samples from diff
ferent factories, FIVE were adulter-
ated.
The author omits 10 mention among
other impurities the use of fats in a
state of putrefaction, probably as
common in Germany as in this coun-
try, perfumes being added to disguise
the odor; and thai such soaps are
frequently poisonous. The only way
to avoid suchimpositions and dangers
is to buy such brands as are known
to be made of pure fats only, and
free from all impurities, such as the
"German- Laundry Soap" manutac-
tured by Mr. Chas. S. Higgins, Of
New York.

The Importance of Pure Soaps.


From the Sanitariaa, for February.
The Importance of pure soaps, we
are glad 10 find, is beginning to at
tract attention abroad, as well as in
this country. Consumers of Soap"
says a writer in the DeutSche Indus
trie Zeitat,ag, should not neglect to
inform themselves Of the real value
of the wares they buy, and to prove
the absence of Intentional adutera-
tons. A very old trick is to increase
the weight OF soap with water, but
as ordinary soap soon loses this by
evaporation in the air, this deception
will not succeed unless the soap is
sold off quickly. There are two
other methods OF increasing weight !;
One consists in adding chemicals
which are adapted to hold the excess
of water in the soap, SO that it will
not lose by lying; the other is by the
addition of mineral substances.
Adulteration by increasing the
amount OF water or by adding the
worthless chemicals pays well, and
unprincipled manufacturers do fine
business by dipping their customers.
There is soap ill the market which
contains Seventy-fve per cent.ot wa
ter, and externally cannot be distin-
guished from soap which contains
only twelve per cent. 1t is easy 10
see how great difference there may
be in the value of two specimens OF
the same price. BY simply increas-
ing the amount of water, doors aud
gates are open for deception in soap
making TO such an extent, that many
manufacturers make profit of hun
dred per cent. by selling water in
stead of soap.
Gelatinous substances are also used
frequently to retain the excess OF
water in soap and are at the
same time an excellent filling. Alu-
nina, i'll the hydrated form, performs
this service best. The author de.

Hot Ice.
n the Boston Journal Of Commerce.

From the Boston Journal Of Commerce.
The paradoxes of science are some.
times as wonderful as the tricks of
the old magicians. That liquid
may be frozen in a red hot vessel ap>
pears almost miraculous, and that ice
NAV be made so hot as to burn the
hand or scorch paper is a kindred
marvel. DR.. Thomas Carnelly, of
Sheffield, in a paper recently read be-
fore the Royal Society, described the
experiments by which he had OBJ.
tanned this hot ice. Andrews had
already shown that a gas cannot be
changed into liquid by compression,
however great, if the temperature
during the experiment be maintained
above a certain point, which differs
for each gas, and is known as the
point of actual temperature. In the
same way, it seems that solid can
not be melted into liquid by a con-
siderable application OF heat, it the
pressure of the vapor evolved be
kept below a certain amount Dr.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1881-06-15

Carnelly has illustrated this III tht
cases of ice and corrosive sublimate
and similar results could doubtless oe
obtained with other solids. Oa'
readers will be interested ID the foi
lowing account OF his experiments
with Ice, which we take from oul
London contemporary, Design 0"0
Work.:
A large bottle, holding about a
pint and quarter, is fitted with a
cap and through this is passed wide
glass tube. The glass and tube are
filled with mercury, certain precau,
lions being taken to obtain sound
Joints and exclude air, and they are
then inverted over mercury contained
in trough. The mercury runs out
of the flask and upper part OF the
tube, and the lower part OF the tube
remains filled with a column OF mer-
curry equal in height to the barometer
The whole system, theretore,ls equiv
alent to a barometer tube with a
large bulb in the upper vacuous part.
Inside the glass flask and tube thus
exhausted a thermometer is preVl-
ously arranged, and after the vacuum
is established a small quantity OF va
ter, previously Boiled TO deprive 1t OF
air, is passed up the tube. The flask
is now surrounded with mixture OF
ice and salt. These materials, when
mixed, produce an intense degree OF
cold and cause the flask to act as a
powerful condenser of any vapor
that may be caused to rise from the
water from the vacuous portion OF
the tube above the mercury. 1t the
condensation be sufficiently good the
vapor is absorbed as quickly as it can
be formed, even when the water is
heated by Bunsen burner, and the
water passes into the solid state and
cannot be liquefed, even although
the tube III contact with it is made
sufficiently hot to burn the hand.
In these experiments the thermom-
eIeI has lcPC"CCuly ONSH
served to rise to higher temperature
than that of boiling water when i'm
bedded in the ice, the tension OF va
por inside the apparatus being always
below 4.6 m,llimetres of mercury.
But as it was suggested that possibly
the temperature as registered by the
was not the same as the
ice itself, although it is difficult to
conceive how this could be, DIR. Car
nelly has taken the preeantion9 10
1rop some q Lot pot ice INTO cold
water, and has fJETd the temperature
Of the water to be thereby raised in
stead of being lowered considerably,
as would be the case with ordinary
ice. This experiment, which we un-
derstand was undertaken at the sug-
gestion OF Prof. Roscoe, conclusively
proves not only that the ice is hot,
but that it is hotter than boiling wa
ter tor in the experiments detailed
by DR.. Carnelly it must have existed
at 1929 G.

Surprised Indians.

From the Boston Post.
The topper who stole and drank a
bottle of whisky (as he thought and
found it to be wine of ipecac.
was one of the many thieves who
swallow more than they can keep
down. The experience OF some
copper colored robbers out West was
about as miserable as his. An Idaho
mining camp, intending TO celebrate
the glorious Fourth, ordered a heap
OF fireworks to be sent to them. A
whole wagon-load was forwarded,
and while on its way was captured
one night by band of Indians,
They did not exactly know what sort
Of property they had got hold OF, and
proceeded to investigate.
The chief thought the cannon
crackers were cigars, and the little
ones cigarettes, which article he had
seen in use at various camps he had
visited, and he distributed lot
around, and they all lighted up for a
smoke, and in moment more sur
prised and puzzled set of Indians
never got together.
The chief had a cannon cracker,
and after the explosion it was three
minutes before he could get breath
enough to yell, and then the wild
shrek he gave could be heard a
mile away. That ended the smoking.
Another brave tell off the top of
the wagon with big box of giant
torpedoes and the crash that greeted
him as he alighted scared him so that
he got up and ran off at break-neck
speed.
$3.50 zszrzsaZ contriye6 to oet "a pin
wheel atirA, and as she dropped it on
the ground the natural tendency of
the thing to whirl around made it 90
over the ground like wheel of fire,
sending out a shower of sparks, and
causing the affrighted lady to scud
away from it, with her eyes as "big
as saucers" with terror.
The pin-wheel got under the wagon
and ignited it, and the Indians at first
tried to extinguish the flames; but
pretty soon a Roman candle went
off, and before the man who was hit
by the first ball on the nose, could
clasp his hand on the injured member
another ball was thrown there then
a third.
Then the rockets began to 60 off,
and take the braves in the legs and
ribs, and the different colored fires
threw first red and then a blue
light upon the scene.
More pin-wheels got loose, and
when brave jumped to avoid pin
wheel he got into the air just in time
to be hit by a rocket, and almost
every red man was more or less
burned; and in about FIVE minutes a
crowd of the worst scared and most
frantic Indians l ever saw was sour
rying off in the darkness across the
prairie, believing with pain and fear.
And the next load of fireworks sent
through that region won't be med
died with by those Indians.
