Peroxide of Hydrogen Color Test

M. Leuchter states that the color test
for peroxide of hydrogen with cobalt
nitrate is much increased if carried out
in the following way, and it will also
detect a smaller quantity of peroxide
than can be shown by any other tests,
says Pacific Drug Review.
Two solutions are prepared, the first
be1ng 1 per cent solution of crystal
line cobaltous chloride, Coca OHIO,
and the other consisting Of to parts
OF borax, 20 parts of glycerin and 100
parts of water by weight. The glycerin
serves double purpose by giving suf-
hclently high density and preventing the
formation of foculent precipitate by
reaction between borax and cobalt
chloride.

the liquid to be tested is added, so as

Jumping Jack Tars.

The rhythmic jumping of $50 blue
jackets saved H. M. S. Commonwealth
from the fate of the Montagu when
she ran aground in dangerous place.
The battleship Montagu was aban-
doned as a hopeless wreck off the Cor
nish coast, but her sister ship, the
Commonwealth, was safely got off by
the muscular exertion of her crew.
The Commonwealth ran on to an
uncharted rock when returning from
target practice, and was badly dam
aged. She was so nicely balanced in
her lodgment, however, that it was
decided, after reversing the engines
had failed to extricate her, to try the
experiment of mastering all the avail
able hands on the extreme aft, and
setting them to jump in unison. The
regular jumping of twenty-five tons
OF solidly-built seamen had the effect
OF making the huge vessel rock see
saw fashion until she gradually floated
OFT with the rising tide. In fifteen
minutes she was atloat, and saved.

CHANGES IN FLOWERS
MODERN TASTE AS COMPARED
WITH OTHER YEARS.
Gardens Of Today Would Be Thing.
OF Wonder to Our Ancestors
All Countries Called on for
Beauty Of Color.

1t Is a truly astonishing thing to re
fleet that Shakespeare, for all his low
or MOWERS, would have been able t.
name scarcely a single bloom in
twentieth century garden, says tn,
Strand. He would hardly have bee,
able. to distinguish the queen Of flow
ers itself, SO greatly has the ros,
changed In the last three centuries.
AS for the begonias, the chrysanthe
NUNS, the dahlias, the geraniums, the
fusch1as and carnations; these Were
unknown even to our great-grandfath
ers. Many of our most beautiful flow.
ers are purely modern productions.
Three centuries ago there were NO
Hover gardens in England. What
We're then thought Of as gardens were
herbar1a, places where rosemary, mint,
rue, thyme and sage grew, and per-
haps few primitive blooms, such as
violets and primroses, were suffered
to exist, much as poppies and corn
flowers do today.
Many we'll known plants have been
developed from specimens discovered
In various parts OF the world, and there
is no doubt that a number OF charm.
ing novelties are still lurking undis.
covered in remote spots. The chances
OF valuable finds are, however, becom.
ing unfortunately less every year. A
small army OF collectors is always at
work in every corner of the world
searching for new treasures to enrich
our floral store.
From South America came manv
years ago the recently questionable
fuschia; from the hills OF northern
India and Tibet have been brought
many useful varieties; from China we
have had among other things many
new primulas; Japan has yielded
wonderful iriscI; Africa many varied
plants, usually of most brilliant and
gorgeous coloring; while numerous
charming members of the narcissus
family have been discovered in the
Pyrenees.
But this cannot continue indetinite-
~, and even in the realm OF orchids,
for which perhaps the most systematic
search of all is made there is not
much left to be explored For our fu-
ture novelties We shall have TO rely
then chiefly on the skill OF our hybrid
lists, who are constantly engaged in
mating different species OF the same
family of plants, and our cross fertiI-
lzers, who are doing similar work with
different varieties of the same species,
The flowers of today are the result OF
cross-breeding, stimulated by electri
city, drugs and hot water baths.

BEST WAY OF USING SOAP
In Solution 1t Is Better Than as Com.
monty Used-Proper Method
OF Starching.

Soap solution is the best way of u.s.
ing soap for laundry purposes. This
is good and we'll tried solution: A
bar of ordinary laundry soap may be
cut up and dissolved in three or four
quarts OF hot water. This may be used
at once while hot or may be kept in
glass Jars until needed.
White clothes may be boiled. Bring
slowly to boiling point with boiler
half full Of clothes.
II clothes appear yellow, use a lit
tie kerosene or paranln. The yellow
tinge can be obviated by use Of white
soap.
The question Of starching is a com.
plex one. Perhaps the following will
assist the inquirer: Mix starch with
a small quantity of cold water to a
creamy consistency, add a little more
cold water, and then the desired
amount OF absolutely boiling water.
stirring constantly. Put the starch
over the fire and boil 1t for several
minutes to insure complete cooking.
and stir 1t all the time 1t is cooking.
Cool or dilute for use. If oil, borax,
or wax be used, they should be cooked
with the starch, but bluing is added
later. The proportions for cooked
starch are one measure of starch to
eight OF boiling water, for thick
starch, and one measurement of
starch to sixteen OF boiling water. for
thin starch.
Uncooked or partly cooked starch
Will stick and make trouble for the
lroner. Qrons must always be hot
Tor starched clothes.) The amount
OF starch needed is regulated by the
number of clothes to be starched,
Starch can be made thinner by adding
water, and 1t always grows thinner
With use. Starched clothes must
never be stiff enough to rattle.-Good
