e wax. Then cut into the requisite lengths. Melt the grease
and pour into pill boxes, previously either fixing the cotton in the
centre, or dropping it in just before the grease sets. If a little
white wax be melted with the grease, all the better. In this manner,
the ends and drippings of candles may be used up. When set to burn,
place in a saucer, with sufficient water to rise to the extent of the
16th of an inch around the base of the night light.

1002. Revolving Ovens.

These ovens may be easily made by any tin-man. They are not now
manufactured for sale, which is to be regretted, on account of their
obvious utility. When suspended in front of any ordinary fire by means
of a bottle-jack or a common worsted string, the Revolving Oven will
bake bread, cakes, pies, &c., in a much more equal and perfect manner
than either a side oven or an American oven, without depriving the
room of the heat and comfort of the fire. Before an ordinary fire, in
any room in the house, it will bake a four-pound loaf in an hour and
twenty minutes. It also bakes pastry remarkably well, and all the care
it requires is merely to give it a look now and then to see that it
keeps turning.

The bottom of the oven,[1] is made in the form of two saucers, the
lower one of which is inverted, while the other stands on it in the
ordinary position. A rim, from 1 in. to 2 in. in height, is fixed
round the eage of the upper saucer, but a little within it, and over
this rim fits a cylinder with a top, slightly domed, which also
resembles a saucer turned upside-down. In the centre of the top is a
circular ventilator, through which steam, generated in baking, can
escape, and the ventilator is covered by a domed plate, as large as
the top of the oven. This acts as a radiator to reflect heat on the
top of the oven, and is furnished with a knob, by which the cylinder
that covers the article to be baked may be removed, in order to view
the progress of the baking. Two strong wires project from the bottom
on either side, terminating in loops or eyes for the reception of the
hooks of a handle, by which the entire apparatus may be suspended in
front of the fire.

[Footnote 1: An illustration of this oven is given in the "Dictionary
of Daily Wants," under the word "Oven." This work is published by
Messrs. Houlston and Sons, Paternoster-square, E.C.]
