WATCHES. 241 



en hoops ; into one bag put a large teaspoonful of brown 

 sugar if you wish a deep color to the jelly, which is to be 

 poured upon it. Do not squeeze the bags, it will make the 

 jelly muddy. "When the jelly is in, cover the aperture of 

 the bags. Should it not run clear, return it to the bag.

 the same room till it becomes solid. "When cool, fill up 

 glasses with a spoonful from one dish, and from the other al- 

 ternately, or, if you choose, keep them in separate glasses.

 must be manifest that to keep the watch as constantly as 

 possible at one temperature is a necessary piece of atten-

Keep the watch as nearly as possible in one position,
