Inclement weather often seriously interfereswith experiment station work, and it is usually at suchtimes that results are most needed. Every effort shouldbe made to have the station run properly under thoseconditions. At isolated experiment stations it is often difficult toobtain supplies or have made up special pieces of ajjpar-.

While of courseevery laboratory should possess a blast lamp, such is notalways the case. At one time the writer was called uponto construct a complicated piece of glass apparatus in-volving the sealing and bending of large tubes, capillarytubes and stop-cocks. He constructed a blast lamp outof an ordinary glass test tube and a small piece of glasstubing, and furnished the blast by pumping the air andwater from a small faucet suction pump into a bottle,using the air for the blast and the water toflow off into the sink. With this apparatus quite con-siderable glass blowing was successfully done. This ismentioned to show how things at hand may be utilized,when necessary, in place of more elaborate and costlyapparatus. SEWAGE TREATMENT AT MT. KISCO.
