Transcriber's notes:

(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an
underscore, like C_n.

(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.

(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
paragraphs.

(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not
inserted.

(5) The following typographical errors have been corrected:

ARTICLE BLEACHING: "Coal gas mixed with air is sent under pressure
through pipe a into the burners b, b, where the mixture burns with
an intense heat." 'into' amended from 'ino'.

ARTICLE BLUEBEARD: "BLUEBEARD, the monster of Charles Perrault's
tale of Barbe Bleue, who murdered his wives and hid their bodies in
a locked room. Perrault's tale was first printed in his Histoires
et contes du temps passe (1697)." 'temps' amended from 'tems'.
