FOR MEASURING THE DROPS

Useful Hint in Suggestion That Bone Knitting Needle May Profitably Bo Employed. The hint contained in our sketch will be found very useful for measure ing liquids by drops, such as medicines that have to be taken in quantities of so many drops, photographic materials, etc., etc. It merely consists of a portion of a bone knitting needle run through the center of the cork so that the

head and part of the needle Itself are immersed in the liquid. When the cork is withdrawn from the bottle, the moisture adhering to the needle will run down and drip from it, and in this way drops can be easily and accurately measured with little trouble, the head of the needle being from time to time Inserted In the liquid until the required number of drops has been obtained.
