It differs, however,from the bran shape in the fact that b is open at top instead of atbottom, and is only about one-fifth the depth of the goblet, leavingtherefore considerable space below it. This portion of the appa-ratus is prepared for use by placing in the goblet a quantity of hotmilk, putting b in position above it, and finally filling b with loose Fig. 221. MODERN MAGIC. 3*9
