A Modified Lintner Insect Box. By E. E. Bogue, 

 CoLUMBUvS, Ohio. 



This box is similar to that described by Dr. Lintner, 

 in Riley's Fifth Report, page 38, but more readily made 

 and at much less expense. The box resembles a deep 

 picture frame as much as anything, although it has 

 been likened to the volume of a book. 



The frame is made of 1-4x2 1-6 inch white-wood 

 planed on all sides, with a rabbet Vs inch deep taken 

 out of each corner on the narrow side, to admit the 

 glass. This is sawed into pieces 14V2 and 12 inches 

 long. The 14^2 inch pieces are halved at the ends, on 

 the narrower side V^ inch, to admit the ends of the 12 

 inch pieces. This makes a rabbet just 14x12 inches. 

 The Irame is put together with brads without glue. 



After being cleaned, a pane of glass is held into the 

 rabbet, on one side of the frame for the back, by a 

 broad-headed brad that will draw it down to place. 

 The outside of the frame is then covered with book 

 binder's cloth, allowing the cloth to lap onto the glass 

 enough to hold it firmly. This cloth is put on with 

 good flour paste to which a little glue and carbolic acid 

 is added and should be applied to both cloth and box. 



The front glass is held in place by a brad driven 

 into the corner of the rabbet on the two sides, and bent 

 over the glass. When it is desired to remove the glass 

 one of these is turned aside.
