Correction. — The  cut  on  page  172  has,  through  the  carelessness  of  the  printer, 
been  placed  in  a  wrong  position.  The  plaster  being  fastened  on  a  table  or  counter, 
the  perforating  tool  is  necessarily  worked  from  above,  and  the  illustration  should  be 
turned  so  that  the  plaster  is  at  the  bottom.
