a Bunsen burner-these are the sim
plest requisites. The Bunsen burner
which may be bought through any
druggist, is used because it gives a
hot flame without much light. and de-
posits no SCOT on the vessel heated.
On your laboratory table place your
gas jet by rubber tubing. The next
thing you will need will be some wire
netting. This is used when you wish
to heat glass vessel. The glass
must be placed on a piece Of netting
shaped like the bottom of the vessel,
SO that the heat does not strike it
directly, but through the wire.
The netting should be placed over
an iron ring supported above the
fame by three legs. These tripods
stands can be had at little cost, but a
homemade one will serve the purpose
just as well. 1t can be made by using
four pieces of strong wire laid cross
wise over the flame, their ends rest
ing on block OF wood on each side
of the burner.
An old tin patty-pan can be utilized
as sort of double boiler, when YES
sci is to be only slightly heated.
Place the pan on the tripod, and part
ly fiji it with water. A piece Of tin
for cover should have hole cut in
il the size of the bottom of the vessel
to be heated, whether it be flask, a
bottle or a tube. Put the flask in the
hole SO that it rests in the water, and
then light your Bunsen burner and
