If the strips are not properlylaid, or if they are not cemented securely to the glass, the leakage w^ill be muchgreater than when no stripsare used. Aside from theircost, and the labor of put-ting them in, the stripsobstruct a small amount oflight, but with large panesnone of these objectionsare of serious importance. 0. ITES PUTTYMACHINE.
