AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can DO it-rhe Result 10
Almost Like Magie-useful, Too.

Anything in the nature of a chem
lcal 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 a bit OF White
Lead about the size of a pea. a piece
OF charcoal. q common candle in a
candlestick, and 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
one 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 pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules OF metallic lead, Under the
Intense heat of the blow-pipc, leaving
40 residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul.
tcrated In the slightest degree, Ii will
not wholly change into lead. So. 1t
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
Al
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul,
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one 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 to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using 1t, they will send free n
blow-pipe and valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking
