The best way of preparing a solution of minimum strength is as follows: — A concentrated neutral solution of tungstate of soda is diluted with water to 28° Twaddle, and then mixed with three per cent, of phosphate of soda. This solution was found to keep and to answer well ; it has been introduced into Her Majesty's laundry, where it is constantly being used.
Page 322 - ... and it has been found occasionally to equal boxwood, though it is not quite so hard. It is an elastic wood that hardens on exposure to the air, and stands a good deal of rough usage in the press ; some blocks have yielded upwards of 20,000 impressions without being worn out. The large pale saudalwood is not so good as the small dark kinds.

Page 324 - Then revaporize the sublimate, holding the tube (which should be closed by a loosely-fitting cork) as upright as possible. The dense vapour sinks to the bottom, and will give large and regular crystals as the glass slowly cools.

Page 4 - HE progress which has been made during the last thirty years, in the Mechanical Arts, and in the application of Science to the useful purposes of life, has been no less remarkable for its rapidity, than for the variety and importance of the inventions by which it has been marked.
