feature Of the work. It is placed IN a
small bag Of strong, raw linen together
with crushed pumice stone, and the bag
IL shaken In special tube with hole
for drainage under a small column of
water. When the coral is well punt
A..te.d it is washed and passed i:=:a a

when the coral has become brilliant.

which was duly charged up against him

have been the hotel ledger at that time,
