Thedirections to put the paste low down in the Haskduring the weighing, and to prevent the liquid from touch-ing the cork, are perhaiw of more importance than wouldappear at first sight, Tlie dilBoulty of avoiding loss whiledecomposing the paste, if It is near the top of the fiaek, isquite considerable, and the loss if the liquid touches thecork is much more than would be supposed, Gasoline is quite seusiliye to changes of temperature,andits vapor tension even at or-Iinary temperatures is quiteconsiderable. If the Hask is tightly corked, therefore .thereis danger of loss of both flask anil its conteDts. uut and washer on the end of a truss rod that passesthrough the slabe and down under the intermediate andcenter sills and up to ilu
