Handy man's workshop and laboratory . Fig. 161—Starting devicefor siphons. Fig. 162—A simple apparatus for distilling fresh water from sea water cess of separation be used to get fresh water out of the sea the vat with a pane of glass which is tilted slightly. The HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 181 radiant heat of the sun passing through the glass will evaporatethe water, and the vapor condensing on the under side of theglass will run down the inclined surface and drip into a receptacle at one side will catch the fresh water that flows fromthe trough. The condensation may be expedited by pouring waterover the glass. The glass will thus be chilled without interferingwith the passage of the suns rays into the vat. AN ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED GAS REGULATOR In some work which is being carried on at various fixed tem-peratures, accurate and reliable gas regulation is required. Thefollowing regulator has provedentirely satisfactory: £ In Fig. 163 A is a U-tube ofglass, of about 8 millimeters in-ternal diameter. This is providedwith a si
