containing the wax into the kettle; weight it 

 down, put in water eDough to cover as deep 

 as the kettle will allow, but it must be under 

 water. Then tire and let it boil. After it 

 gets almost boiling hot you can turn the stir- 

 ring-shaft easily. Turn it frequently to stir 

 up the slum-gum so the wax can rise, and af- 

 ter one hour's boiling let it stand until it 

 "cools, as the tub can not be lifted out of the 

 melted wax without filling the whole mass 

 with wax again. I tried a funnel-shaped 

 skimmer and used it the same as for skim- 

 ming a can of milk, but it does not take off 

 all the wax, so I found it best not to try to 

 render more than one tubful a day. 



Now for results: If boiled long and stirred 

 frequently, there will not be 5 percent of the 

 wax left in the old comb the next day after 

 boiling. 



I will now tell its faults: Instead of a tight 

 tub there should be a wire receptacle to hold 

 the wax, shaped like a tub, then it would be 

 almost perfect, I think, as the tub does not 

 allow a free circulation of the water. 



The wire on the cover should go on the un- 

 derside of the cover. C. W. Cooler.
