II Causes Contraction From Neck OF Bot

Reagent bottles holding caustic alkalies
alkaline carbonates. &c, very frequently
become fixed and the usual method has
been to tap the stopper with a wooden
block or the application OF heat TO the
neck, or combination of both. Results
are poor in certain cases and often result
in the fracture Of the neck.
The inverse process may be used to ad-
vantage. In other words freeze the stop
per, thus causing a contraction of the stop
per from the neck, The bottles which
used for experiment had failed to open
under the heating and tapping, and were
bad cases Of fixed stoppers. The bottles
held sodium carbonate that had formed

so we're firmly fixed They we're inverted
IN ~ mixture Of crushed ice and calcium
chloride, taking care that the freezing

After standing twenty minutes each
