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-

 on the heater. The Hygroscope hhows at a glance whether the- 

 air is too dry or not.
