explanation that the arrest of a lead.

a feeling OF renewed confidence. That

Hydronuorfc Acid Ia MosS safely
=. Kept In Golden Bottles.
A gold bottle stood on the chemists
table. I'm that BOTTLE" he said, my
hydrofuroic acid is kept. Hydrofiuoric
acid is used In glass etching. The
etching on glass thermometers ss all
done with it. 1t IS colorless. It looks
like water. but drop OF IL on your
hand would bore clean through b the
other side like bullet. Its Inhalation
is sure death.
"Hydrofl oric acid can be kept safe
ly in gold bottles alone. Sometimes
bottles OF india rubber. OF lead or OF
platinum are used. None OF these.
though, is as safe as gold.
/. "Eyen when this acid Is I'm a gold
bottle precautions must be taken with
it. 1t Is volatile. and hence a paraffin
covered plate must -bo clamped tight
over the bottles mouth; also the tenn
peratsire OF the room must not rise over
90 degrees or tho gold bottle will burst.
This acid. whose sole use Is in glass
etching. is probably the most danger
Gus thing in the world to work with.
The steeplejack, the lion tanner and
the diver do not take their lives In their
hands to half the extent the glass etch-
er does when, with his gold vial of
hydrofuoric acid, he etches the scales

And ask why finger aloof?

sheet of blue litmus psper which can

DOES NOT PAY FOR THE DIRT.
There may have been time when
the standing joke was true that Bal
timore Fertilizer Companies had sold
old Federal hill to Maryland and
Virginia farmers to make mp weights
IN their fertilizers, but if ever true
no such thing holds good today.
Fertilizers are now sold and bought
by analysis and the difficulty met by
the fertilizer manufacturer is not
how to get "filler' into the bags, but
how to keep it out. There is a for
tune in store for any inventor who
can demonstrate some cheap method
of selling 25 pounds of phosphoric
acid in 100-pounl bag of bone
meal, without being compelled to
add 75 pounds of "filler" that natur-
ally exists in the bone, as the 25
pounds of acid represents all the
farmer requires, the lime, grease,
earthly matter, etc., not being desired.
On this subject an extract from a
late agricultural magazine may be of
interest. The article reads:
We can understand how the
farmer may be led to suppose that
the manufactures adds a certain
amount of "fller" to the plant foods,
but when the professors, or teachers,
can find such subject a suitable one
for creating prejudice against fer
tllizers, thus causing the farmer to
shorten his crops, instead of assist
ing him to secure larger yields, it is
probably because they have not given
the matter fair aud impartial con-
sideration. Let US now look into a
100. pound bag of Florida hardrock,
finely ground and ready for the
purchaser:
