Blisii, W. G. — Preserving Paste Eels. 



[To preserve paste eels, the paste should be kept in a wide-mouth bottle, 

 loosely stoppered, placed in a cool place. If the eels are not doing well, 

 add a piece of bread, or prepare some fresh paste, preferably of rye flour. 

 Paste containing a good supply of eels will keep for weeks without 

 moulding.]

 C. — Examining rare fluids containing crystals or lymph. 



[For examining rare fluids containing crystals or lymph, place a little in 

 an ordinary vaccine tube, as supplied for taking lymph off a child's arm, 

 seal the ends in a gas flame, taking care not to heat the fluid. Next take 

 a slip of cardboard (thin) about the size of a glass slide, cut out a space 

 in the centre in the shape of a diamond, place the tube, which is about 

 1/16 in. in diameter, over the centre of the card, and gum a strip of 

 gummed paper across the tube, leaving the ends to project past the strip.]

 Cement, Insoluble. 



[Take of gum shellac, 3 parts; indiarubber, 1 part; by weight. 

 Dissolve the rubber and shellac in separate vessels in ether, free from 

 alcohol, applying a gentle heat. When thoroughly dissolved mix the two 

 solutions, and keep in a bottle tightly stoppered. This glue resists 

 the action of water, both hot and cold, and most of the acids and alkalies. 

 The addition of not over 2 per cent, of .potassium bichromate to a solu- 

 tion of glue, and subsequent exposure of the glued parts to the sunlight, 

 will make an insoluble cement.]
