of the glass outside the mounting serves to hold the slide securely in place, and to protect the mounting from possible injury. FIG. 79. Every dozen tops and bottoms is accompanied with twenty-four strips of gummed paper which may be used on the edges to secure the pieces before wrapping for mailing. If one slide is to be sent the strips may be gummed lengthwise on the edges. If centres are used for more slides the strips may be used to pass around on to top and bottom. The slight shrinking of the moistened paper in drying pinches the slide sufficiently to hold it securely. A. C. Cole uses the boxes shown in fig. 79. They consist of a piece of wood 33 in. × 1§ in. and 1/2 in. thick in which a coarse sawcut has been made nearly through it as shown in the figure. The slide is placed in the groove thus formed with a little cotton wool and the open side is filled up with a strip of wood about 3/16 in. section. ADAMS, J. M.-How to keep [send] living Infusoria.
