GAS MANTLE SMELL

EVERYONE is familiar with the oDnox-
ious odor that comes from gas mantle
when it is first lighted. The odor is from
the burning collodion of the mantle. The
rare earths, thoriurn and cerium, used in the
mantle do not stick together nicely; SO if
they did not have a binding material to
hold them together they could not be han
died or shipped. Collodion dissolved in alco-
hol or ether is mixed with the thorium and
cerium in the form of a paste. This is then
put into mantle mold and dried. The drying
process takes place very quickly, as only the
ether vapor in the mixture comes off. The
mantle may now be handled and knocked
about to some extent, and is in the condition
of one newly bought from the store.
When the match is applied to the new
mantle the collodion burns up, as can read
lily be seen, giving off its odor of combus-
ton. The mantle is now left in a very
brittle state; but if not shaken will continue
useful for sometime. 1t has a relatively
short life, however, as the thorium is more
or less volatile. SO finally most of the thor
