Pound Of Air Quite a Bio Thing.

Textbooks tell us that pound Of
pure carbon (the prepOnderating ele-
ment in coaD requires the oxygen
contained in 116 pounds of air to
complete the combustion. Few Of US
have any idea what 11.6 pounds Of air
means. The Popular Science Monthly
brings it home to us as follows:
"Imagine a column Of air one inch
square extending forty miles into the
sky ard you will have good idea Of
the amount Of air required to burn a
single pound of coal. A pound Of coal
would occupy column one inch
square and only three feet high?

Porcelain cracks because the glaze

different rate from the clay OF which
it is composed. A manufacturer IN
