With this new dustera single puff of arsenate of lead will com-pletely co\er a potato plant with thepoison. All vegetables and small fruitsand even low trees may be quicklysprayed with poison or with sulphurwith a minimum of effort. The duster may also be used as ahouse disinfectant, discarding the arse-nate of lead for a non-poisonous liquidor powder. No corner is beyond reachof the duster, and the acids used assprays do not injure it. How the Snails Tongue Cleans theAquarium.
