AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result Is
Almost Like Magic-Usefui Too.

Anything in the nature of a chemi-
cal experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is a sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in a
very practical way: Get q bit of
White Lead about the size OF a pea, a
piece of charcoal, a common candle in
q candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop
out a little hollow in the charcoal TO
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
n hand and the blow pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
Of White Lead on the charcoal and if
the White Lead is pure it will present
~ resolve itself into little shining glob-
ules of metallic lead, under the intense
heat Of the blow-pipe, leaving no
residue.
If, however. the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree. it will
not wholly change into lead. SO. it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical dem
onstration, but also of practical use in
the home. White Lead is the most i'm
portant ingredient Of paint. Ii should
be bought pure and unadulterated and
mixed with pure linseed oil. That is
the best paint. The above easy expert
ment enables any n TO know whether
the paint is the kind which Will wear
or not.
The National Lead Company guar
antee that white lead taken from a
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and 20 encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using ii, they will send free a
blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on
paint to any II writing them asking
for Test Equipment. Address National
