A Hygroscope for 50 cents. 



THE CHEMICAL HYGROSCOPE. 



This indicator of atmospheric moisture is as accurate as the 

 costly ones. Rooms heated by furnaces or stoves are almost in- 

 variably so dry as to be damaging not only to health but to fur- 

 niture. Some people take the consequences others keep water 

 on the heater. The Hygroscope bhows at a glance whetuer the 

 air is too dry or not.
