BOTTLE-BREAKING.

The method of breaking small bottles or vessels a't : the place wanted with kerosene-soaked string is wellknown, but this method does not work so well with the larger vessels. The following'is a method v given by a contemporary, by which any size glass vessels can be broken—as for example, a glass tul),to be made out of a carboy. ./Fill the vessel with cold water up, to tho point at which it is to be broken. Pour enough boiling oil over the water to make a good coat on the surface, and before the oil has had time to cool dash cold water on the outside of the vessel. A clean break at the contact point of oil and water is said to result.
