CARBON POINTS FOR GLASS SPLITTING.

CAhBON IOIN - FUN OLhOs OIL d INV.
A German journal gives the following dircc-
tons for making carbon points for splitting
glass /. Dissolve 100 parts of gum arabic III
240 parts of water, and mix the solution with
paste prepared by triturating 10 parts of pow
dcred tragacanth with $40 parts of hot water:
Then, having dissolved 20 parts of storax and
20 parts of benzoin in 90 parts of alcohol
(OS30) strain the latter solution and add 1t TO
the mixed mucilage. Finally mix the whole
intimately with 24O to $50 parts of powdered
charcoal so as to be uniform throughout The
charcoal should previously he passed through
fine sieve. The doughty mass Is cut into SUIT
able pieces, which are rolled between two
boards busted over with coal dust, until cylin-
drical strips about one ccntimctcr in thickness
are formed, which are allowed To dry slowly
between blOttng-paper When using them one
end is pointed like lead pencil, and, after hav-
ing previously made q scratch in the glass with
"a file or diamond, the heated and glowing end
of the pencil is carried along the line in which
the glass is intended to be fractured 2. Dis
solve to 10 parts of tragacanth in about 100
parts of hot water, add to the mixture, under
stirring, 30 parts of acetate of lead and 60
parts of finely siftcd bcachwood charcoal. and
proceed rs in the previous formula 3. Sticks
of soft wood (willOw or poplar of about the
thickness OF finger. which must he thoroughly
dry. are immersed for about one week into a
concentrated solution of acetate Of lead, after
which they are again dried. When ignlted
these sticks burn like glazicrs' charcoal. The
aforementioned formula yields the best product,
as it burns much slower than the others.
