Calcined magnesia, rubbed down with pure benZine, makes an excellent preparation for cleaning and polishing the surfaces of fine glass, such as costly mirrors, etc. The mass formed must be sufficiently soft to allow drops of the liquid to be squeezed out of it. The mixture should be kept in closely stoppered bottles, and, in use, a little of it is placed on a bit of cot ton or soft rag with which the glass Is rubbed.
