On The Comparative Value Of Certain Salt...
The next question : To furnish , laundresses with an available expedient whereby the non-innaimnability of the material , lost by its
being submitted to washing * , might be renewed . None of the salts hitherto recommended are fitted for this purpose , because of their
resisting the ironing process . It has been lately discovered , _howr ever , after long continued researches , that another salt known to
chemists as iungstate of soda does not present the same difficulty in so high a degree . Patents under the great seal have been
granted to Messrs . Versmann and Oppenheim for the use of the salt just mentioned , as also for the use of the sulphate of ammonia .
The proportions in which these salts are to be employed , -with other interesting details , will be found in the pamphlet we are noticing ,
which comprises the substance of a paper read before the British Association at their recent meeting in Aberdeen . Certificates , with
a sample of the non-inflammable muslin , accompany the pamphlet , thus affording a sufficient test of two-fold character , which cannot
fail to interest the public at large , and urge the general adoption of
such valuable protectives from fire .
