162 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



Cement for Glass, Porcelain, &c. 



[" Take soft cheese, priiul and wash it in hot water, and when freed from all 

 suft matter, and nutliinjjr remains but jnire caseinc, press in a fine cloth 

 so as to squeeze out all the liquid. The white matter is dried, reduced 

 to powder, and preserved in a wide-mouthed bottle, or well-fitting box. 

 To use it, grind it up with a small quantity of water, which makes a 

 very adhesive paste. Use immediately, and in the cold. It sets rapidly, 

 ami when once dry, it cannot be redi-ssolvcd, either by moisture or heat. 

 It is suggested that the dry caseiiie shouLl be ground up, not in water, 

 but in ammonia, solution of borax, or in lime-water, and preferably to 

 obtain the caseine from butter-milk, which is precipitated with acetic 

 acid, using as little as possible. The precipitate to be repeatedly stirred 

 up in hot water, and thus washed by decautation, until all the fatty 

 matter is removed."]
