    In a phew philes on this system some
 of the recipes need a still, well here
 is how to make a still:
 
    Once you get the chemicals, ingred
 ients, or what ever, you set up your
 still. It is small, efficient, and
 safe. In it you can make things like
 tear gas, prussic acide and occasionaly
 distill some alcohol.
 
    First, a flask is fitted with a
 one-holw rubber stopper. A short length
 of thin glass tubing is inserted into
 the hole. A five foot length of thin
 rubber tubing is fitted over the glass
 tube and coiled into the ice bucket and
 out through a hole near the bottom. The
 end of the tube is fitted over another
 glass tube which is in a two-hole stopp
 er stuck into a bottle. The other hole
 contains another glass tube to which is
 attached another length of tubing long
 enougb to reach outside to get rid of
 any noxious or poisonous fumes.
 
    The equipment for a still is cheap
 and simple to get. Most of it can be
 bought from your local drug store.
 They carry tubing, stoppers, glassware
 and many chemicals which they freely
 sell to doctors, students etc. If you
 get on good terms with your druggist
 and he doesn't know you are crazy you
 can buy most of your stuph from him.
 
    A ring stand or tripod for the flask
 is more handy than the can in the
 illustration (see below). But a tin can
 with strips cut out of it for ventilat
 ion and for the removal of the lamp is
 usually adequate.
 
 CHECKLIST OF EQUIPMENT:
 
 <1> alcohol lamp.
 <2> ring stand, tripod or tin can.
 <3> 500 ml or larger flask
 <4> assortment of one and two-hole
     holeless rubber stoppers of various
     sizes.
 <5> about six yards of 3/16 of an inch
     (inside diameter) rubber tubing.
 <6> about a foot of six millimeter
     (outside diameter) laboratory glass
     tubin.
 <7> child's plastic bucket
 <8> receiving bottle.
 
 
   The hole in the bucket for the tube
 is made somewhat smaller than the tube
 so it will fit snugly and prevent
 leakage. Full strength wood alcohol for
 the lamp can be bought at the drug stor
 e. Rubbing alcohol, although 30% water
 will burn in the lamp but not so well.
 You can distill the purt alcohol off
 the water from rubbing alcohol.
 
    This is best done over a gas or
 electric stove. First a large pan with
 a couple of inches of water in it is
 put on the burner to be used and the
 others are turned off.
 
    The still is set up as the illustra
 tion except the receiving bottle is
 larger and doesn't need a stopper or
 tube going outside. The flask is filled
 with rubbing alcohol to just under the
 neck and set in teh pan of boiling
 water.
 
    In this setup a coathanger wire
 with a loop in its middle is put over
 the neck of the flask and fixed on the
 sides of the pan. This is necessary
 because as the alcohol distills off,
 the flask gets lighter andb would rise
 in the water and fall over without
 support.
 
    Another consideration is to make
 sure the tube does not flop over and
 collapse. This can be prevented by
 hanging a string from the ceiling by
 which the tubing is held above the
 flask.
 
    The tubing should be further support
 ed so it does not touch the hot edge
 of the pan. If it is allowed to lie
 over the edge it will melt.
 
    When the action starts the alcohol
 will fairly flow into the collecting
 bottle. When it stops all that is left
 in the flask will be water. If left
 alone water would start dripping, much
 slower than the alcohol, but this is
 not wanted.
 
    This is the only case where you
 should distill over a stove. A stove
 is harder to control than an alcohol
 lamp. It is also harder to clean up
 than a table in case of an accident.
