Vesque's Method. A method of producing cr

 in the first is a moderately strong solution of calcic

 From the liquid in the first a short strip (if lilu-rin 

 paper runs to that in the second, and a similai 

 passes from the second to the third test-tube ; and 

 the liquids in the three tubes are brought into din 

 contact. Crystals will be formed in the middle

 there. In a solution of sugar, raphides are produced 

 in pure water, prisms of small size, but with si 

 defined faces and angles. (Goodale.)
