Third: When a new can is to be used, or the cans above describedare to be used again, a safety pin, one inch long or more, bent in themiddle at right angles, is placed by the sideof the cork, and pin and cork are inserted *into the can. (Fig. 63b.) The rate offlow of ether may be regulated perfectly bypressing the thumb against the protrudingpart of the bent pin. The cork should befirmly inserted to avoid its being pushedout by this pressure. The cork may often-times be used again. This, of course, de-pends upon its condition.
