Chapter 9

2.--BOILER FURNACE.--I have two boilers, twenty-four feet long and four feet in diameter each, with five ten-inch flues. The fire passes under the boiler, and enters the flues at the back end, passes through the flues, and enters the smoke stack at the front end. I use hard pine wood for fuel. Will some of your many readers give me the best way of constructing the flue under the boiler, from the end of the grate bars to where it enters the flues at the back end, and also state the proper distance from the back wall to the end of the boiler?--N. H.

3.--MEDAL CASTS.--I have some medals which I should like to copy. Having tried several times, and failed, I thought that I would ask advice through your query columns. I do not know of what the medals are manufactured. They are, I suppose, made to imitate bronze. I have tried casting them in plaster of Paris molds, but have had very poor success, as the surface of the medals was covered with small holes. The metal used was lead and antimony, seven to one. I should like to know, if there be any metal that I can cast them of, and bring out the bronze color afterwards, or if there be any metal that I can cast them of, and afterwards color by some solution. Also, of what should I make my molds?--J. E. M.

4.--REMOVING THE TASTE OF TAR FROM RAIN WATER.--Will some of your correspondents tell me if rain water, which runs off a gravel roof, and tastes very strongly of tar, is unhealthy, and if there be anything that will prevent its tasting, as it is very disagreeable for cooking purposes?--C. E. H.

5.--SORGHUM MOLASSES.--How can I separate the molasses from the sugar, in sorghum sugar mush, to make a dry merchantable sugar?

6.--FLUX FOR ALUMINUM.--Will some of your readers tell me, through your columns, the best flux to use in melting and mixing aluminum and copper?
