A simple method of accurately cut- ting a bottle is to place it upon some level foundation and fill it with lin- seed oil to the point at which you de- sire the line of separation to occur. Then take an iron rod of as great a diameter as will pass into the bottle, make it almost Waite hot, and dip It into the oil. After the tepee of a few moments a sharp crack is heard, and the bottle is found to be neatly cut S8 if with a diamond.

The shock of a sudden plunge into cold water often causes cramps. • Enter the" water slowly; wet your head first.
