Heater for the Experimenter

A convenient small heater for heating liquids in experimental work, and even in making a hot drink where there is no gas, can be readily made from an ordinary oil lamp and a small round can, having a crimped-on head or bottom. The can should be of such diameter that the prongs of the lamp burner will hold it firmly in place. A hole should be made in the bottom of the can. It is then placed, upside down, on the lamp burner. If the top comes too far from the flame, cut off a strip around the edge.—Contributed by Clarence S. H. Anderson, Worcester, Massachusetts.
