DETECTION OF BORIC ACID AND
BORAX.
Boric acid (also called boracic acid
and it's compound with sodium (borax)
are often used to preserve animal
products, such as sausage, butter and
sometimes milk. For the detection
OF boric acid anl borax, solids should
be macerated with small amount of
water and strained through a white
cotton cloth. The liquid obtained by
treating solids in this manner is clari-
fed somewhat by thoroughly chilling
and tiltering through filter paper.
In testing butter place a heaping
teaspoonful of the sample in a teacup,
add q couple of teaspoonfuls of hot
water, and stand the cup in a vessel
containing a little hot water until the
butter is thoroughly melted. Mix the
contents of the cup well by stirring
with teaspoon and set the cup with
the spoon in it in a cold place until
the butter is solid. The spoon with
the butter (Which adheres to it, is
now removed from the cup and the
turbid liquid remaining strained
through white cotton cloth, or bet
ter, through filter paper. The liquid
will not all pass through the cloth or
filter paper, but sufficient amount for
the test may be secured readily.
In testing milk for boric acid two OR
three tablespoonfuls of milk are placed
in a bottle with twice that amount Of
solution of a teaspoonful of alum in
pint of water, shaken vigorously,
and filtered through filter paper Here
again a clear or only slightly turbid
liquid passes through the paper.
About a teaspoonful of the liquid
obtained by any one of the methods
mentioned above is placed in any dish.

the liquid and then held in a warm

DETECTING BORIC ACID.
ish black. If too much hydrochloric
acid is used the turmeric paper may
take on brownish red color even in
the absence Of boric acid. In this
case, however, ammonia changes the
color to brown just as it does turmeric
paper which has not been dipped into
the acid solution.
DETECTION OF FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde is the substance most
commonly used for preserving milk
and is rarely, if ever, added to any
other food. Its use is inexcusable and
especially Objectionable in milk served
to infants and invalids
To detect formaldehyde in milk
three or four tablespoonfuls of the
sample are placed in a teacup with at
least an equal amount of strong hydro
chloric acid and piece of ferric alum
about as large as pinhead, the
liquids being mixed by a gentle rotary
motion. The cup is then placed in a
vessel of boiling water, no further
heat being applied, and left for five
minutes. At the end of this time, if
formaldehyde be present, the mixture
will be distinctly purple. If too much
heat is applied, muddy appearance is
impaired to the contents of the cup
Caution.-Great care must be exercised
in working with hydrochloric acid, as it
is strongly corrosive. 1t must not come
in contact with the flesh or clothes of-the
operator nor with any metallic vessels
and must be greatly diluted with water
before it is poured into the sink

The housewife finds herself constant
ly submitting her purchases to this
test. Her broad experience develops
her senses of taste and smell to
high degree, and her discrimination is
often sharper and more accurate than
she herself realizes. The :manufac-
tlrer who has developed his natural
senses most highly appreciates best
h the assistance or, collaboration of the
chemist, who can often come to his
relief when his own powers do not
avail. So the housewife, by few
simple chemical tests, can broaden her
| field of vision and detect many i'm
purities that are not evident to the
| senses.
DETECTION OF sALICYLIC ACID.
The determination of salicylic acid
can best be made with liquids Solid
and semi-solid foods, such as jelly,
should be dissolved, when soluble, in
sufficient water to make them thinly
liquid. Foods containing insoluble
matter, such as jam, marmalade and
sausage, may be macerated with wa.
ter and strained through a piece of
white cotton cloth. The maceration
! may be performed by rubbing in a
| teacup or other convenient vessel with
a heavy spoon.
Salicylic acid is used for preserving
fruit products of all kinds, including
beverages. It is frequently SOLD by
drug stores as fruit acid. Preserving
powders consisting entirely of sail
cylic acid are often carried from house
to house by agents. It may be detect
ed as follows:
Between two and three ounces Of
the liquid obtained from the fruit
products, as described above, are
placed in narrow bottle holding five
ounces, about a quarter of teaspoon

few drops Of sulphuric acid) is added
the mixture shaken for two or three
minutes, and filtered into a second
small bottle. Three or four table
spoonfuls Of chloroform are added tt
the clear liquid in the second bottle
and the liquids mixed by a somewhat
vigorous rotary motion, poured into
an ordinary glass tumbler and allowed
to stand till the chloroform settles out
in the bottom. Shaking is avoided, as
it causes an emulsion which is difficult
to break up. AS much as possible Of

tains the salicylic acid) is removed

is then indicated by the purple colol
of the upper layer of liquid.

We all hear a great deal about the
poisons with which our daily food is
adulterated. Simple methods for the
detection of some forms of food adul-
teration are presented by two govern
ment officials belonging to the bureau
Of chemistry, United States depart
ment of agriculture: w. D. Bigelow,
chief division of foods; Burton J. How
ard, chief microchemical laboratory.
Many manufacturers and dealers in
foods have the ordinary senses so
highly developed that by their aid
alone they. can form. an Intelligent
opinion of the nature of product, or
of the character, and sometimes even
OF the proportion, of adulterants pres
ent. This is especially true of such
articles as coffee, wine, salad oils,

and stony, will remember particular
place where the road two leagues from
the town runs up long hill. At the
top of the hill four ways meet; and
there, plain to be seen against the sky
is a finger-post, indicating which way
leads to Bordeaux, and which to Mon
tauban, and which: to Perigueux. ::
This hill had impressed me on my
journey down; perhaps, because I had
from it my first view Of the Garonue
valley, and there felt myself on the
verge of the south country where my
mission lay. It had taken root in my
memory; had come to look upon its
bare, bleak brow, with the flnger-post
and the four roads, as the first outpost
Of Paris, as the first sign of return to
the old life. ~4<. ..@
Now for two days had been looking
forward to seeing it again. That long
stretch Of road would do admirably for
something I had in my mind. That

The character of the masonry

wall is part Of 'C0nstantine's church or
whether it Is, as We suggest, only a

more ancient wall behind it.. II the

pierce this wall at some point below
the present level of the chapel and If
it is then found that there really is an
open space behind, the lost entrance to
the sepulchral vault in which st. Peter
lies will have been discovered and it
will only be necessary to enlarge the
opening sufficiently to permit of pill
grims once more descending the stair

eye has seen for more than 1000 years.
If, on the other hand, no such dis
covery be made, and it be found that

st. Peter's church at Rome is the
largest place of worship in the world.
The first church which existed on or
near the site Of the present St. Peters,
was an oratory founded in 80 A. D.
The cretory was founded by, Anacle-
tus, bishop ofrRome, said to have been
ordained by st. Peter himself. Ana
cletus built, we are told, in memory
of the many Christian martyrs who fell
in the circus of the infamous Nero.
and that here after crucifxion Peter
was buried. At the request Of Pope
Peter Sylvester, Constantine the Great
began on this spot the erection Of a
tine the only remains left is the crypt.
The basilica was much defaced during
the long residence OF the popes at
Avingon (1309-1376), but it was about
1850 that Pope Nicholas v. planned its
destruction and rebuilding to suit
the taste Of the times. The plan was
not CD. ried out by Nicholas, butxprog-
ressed under Pope Julius IT., who un-
dertook the work with much vigor.
Julius called to his aid Bramante. the
famous architect, judged greatest mas
ter of Roman style growing up about
the antique ruins. Bramante made
an entirely new design for the church
considered by Michel Angelo and crit
les universally the best Of the many
designs offered for :. St Peters. Bra
nantes design was a Greek cross with
a dome and two spires But Bramante
