To

render

useful,

its

should

be completely

immersed

in

a

vessel

filled

the

liquor,

ever

so

little

impregnated

in

traversing

this

cold

fluid,

will

com-

plete

the

deposition

of

its

caloric.

This

precaution

will

also

prevent

the

losses

that

fre-

quently

result

from

the

negligence

of

the

workman.
