PRACTICAL HINTS ON MOUNTING. 



liY R. N. REYNOLDS, D. A: M. JUNCTION, DETROIT. 



TANDING before me is a dusty Air Pump a relic of the days in 

 wliich we fought air bubbles in our mounts for the microscope. 

 Well we remember those battles, how after the smoke of broken 

 cover glasses and sticky fingers were cleared away, only a few bub- 

 bles were found and these had pluckily followed the object nearly 

 out of the field. 



Now the air pump has stopped never to go again in mounting, 

 and instead of fighting the bubbles we keep clear of them. 



We take our object (for balsam mounts) from spirits of turpen- 

 tine and while well covered with the spirit place it on the slide and 

 quickly apply the Canada balsam, before place on the cover glass 

 and center before it has time to settle, else the object will move 

 with the cover.
