Glass Vessel Hardened by Rapid Water Immersion
To Tovuchen Glass-Put the glass vessel into a vessel of cold water, and gradually heat the water boiling hot, then allow it to cool gradually of itself, without taking out the glass. Goblets treated in this way may, when cold, be filled with boiling water, without crack ing. Lamp chimneys may also be made tougher by this process. Improven and irregular feeding, over work in hot-sun going-too long-with out water, and then living too much, are among the causes of bad digestion and general ill-health in horses.
