autoclave until the dissolution is complete
Twelve parts of the obtained mass are then
melted together with twelve parts raw glyc-
crime, little water and one part of an aka
line chromate or of bichromate Of potash.
The obtained product is dried in the dark
and has the same appearance as caoutchouc

coal to be placed behind or on the back OF
the fire; thus, the fire in the front will buru
more rapidly, warm the air above and so
prepare the rising gases for combustion. In
this way the amount ofsmoke is diminished,
as the gases from the coal, at the back rise
much more slowly than when placed upon
the FIRE and the air partly warmed. For
stoves and boilers, warm air may be pro-
duced for the entire combustion ofall the
gases, a result which is beneficial in various
! ways.
