How TO PREVENT LAMP CH1MNEYs
CRACK1NG.-A Leipsic journal which makes
q specially of matters relating to glass, gives
method which it asserts will prevent Chin
neys from cracking. The treatment will
not only render lamp chimneys, tumblers
and like articles more durable, but may be
applied with advantage to crockery, stone
ware, porcelain, etc. The chimDeys, tum-
blers etc., are put into pot filed with cold
water, to which some common table salt has
been added. The water is well boiled over
a and then allowed to cool slowly.
When the articles are taken out and washed
they will be found to resist afterward any
sudden changes of temperature. The pro-
cess is simply one of annealing, and the
slower the cooling part of it is conducted
the more effective will be the work.
SAND BAG FOR THE S1CK-RooM-One
of the most convenient articles to be used
in sick room is sand bag Get some
clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in ket-
tie on the stove; make bag about eight
inches square of flannel, fill it with dry
sand, sew the opening carefully together,
and cover the bag with cotton or linen
cloth. This will prevent the sand from
sitting out, and will also enable you to heat
the bag quickly by placing it in the oven,
or even on top of the stove. After once
using this you will never again attempt to
war-l the feet or hands of sick person
with bottle Of hot water or brick. The
sand holds the heat long time; and the
bag can be tucked mp to the back without
hurting the invalid. It is a good plan to
to make two or three Of the bags and keep
them ready for use.
