In Fig. 196 we give an illustra- tion of a return package consisting of a stone pot or jar, around the top of which are projections that serve as the threads of a bolt or screw, while the tinned iron hooks on the wooden cover answer the purpose of the threads of a nut. The cover is grooved so as to shut down over and clasp both the inside and outside of the top of the jar. Thus adjusted, the jar is air-tight; a strong bail attached to the cover greatly facilitates the handling of this jar.
