To Make Lac Solution.—Put half an ounce of flake shellac into a tin pot, and pour upon it H of a pt. or 6 oz. of methylated spirit or preferably, a like quantity of wood naphtha Let it stand for about a day, stirring it occasionally till dissolved. Then half fill a basin with boiling water, set the tin containing the lac in it ana leave it till it boils and curdles. If the water does not remain hot long enough to make it boil, set it in a second basin of boiling water. As soon as it has curdled remove it, and when cold pour it into a vial and cork it. 8p rit must never be boiled over a fire nor near one. as the vapor might inflame. Keep the pot, therefor, while in the hot water, at a distance from a fire or flame of a lamp or candle. 

A mixture of ethanol, of an appropriate strength, 95 parts by volume with wood naphtha 5 parts by volume. 

Note. Two other classes of methylated spirits are recognised in the United Kingdom mineralised methylated spirits and denatured ethanol. Mineralised methylated spirits is ethanol of an appropriate strength, 90 parts by volume mixed with wood naphtha 9.5 parts by volume and crude pyridine 0.5 parts by volume, and to every 2000 litres of this mixture is added 7.5 litres of mineral naphtha (petroleum oil) and 3.0 g of methyl violet. Denatured ethanol is ethanol, of a strength not less than 85% v/v, 98 parts by volume mixed with propanol 2 parts by volume, and to the resulting mixture is added denatonium benzoate 10 pg/ml, or solid quassin 120 pg/ml, or sucrose octa-acetate 4000 pg/ml. 

Note. The commercial substance known as wood naphtha , pyroxylic spirit or wood spirit contains 60 to 90% of methanol, together with acetone and other empyreumatic impurities. The variety used for denaturing ethanol (see under Ethanol) contains not less than 72% v/v of methanol.

No single substance has yet been found which fulfils all the above conditions. Crude methyl alcohol or wood naphtha fulfils (2), (3), and (4), but as regards the first condition, when mixed with ethyl alcohol to the extent of 10 per cent, does not prevent the alcohol being drunk. 

Wood naphtha does not quite satisfactorily fulfil the fifth condition, inasmuch as it renders the denatured alcohol subtly more costly than pure alcohol.

Methylated spirit is ethyl alcohol containing sufficient wood spirit to render it unfit for the manufacture of ardent spirits, by reason of the dia-guating odor and taste which crude wood alcohol owes to certain empy-reumatic pitxlucts which it contains. Spirits so treated are not subje to the heavy duties imposed upon ordinary alcohol, and are. therefor, largely used in the arts and for the preservation of anatomical preparations. It contains one-ninth of its bulk of wood naphtha.

Liebig" mentions that benzene is present in coal-tar Hofmann states that he found no published source for this. About 1834 work was in progress in Manchester to separate naphtha from coal-tar by distillation and John Dale about 1838 tried to convert this into wood naphtha. John Leigh in 1842 showed specimens of benzene, nitrobenzene, and dinitrobenzene to the British Association in Manchester. Mansfield, under Hofmann s direction, separated by fractional distillation of coal-tar not only large amounts of benzene (benzole) but also toluene (b.p. c, 113" ) and what he called cumol (b.p. I43° i45°) and cymol (b.p. lyo -iyz ). Hugo Miiller showed that Mansfield s cumol is xylene, discovered by Cahours in 1850. ... 

Parkesine). Nitrocellulose is mixed with wood naphtha (a mixture of methanol, acetone, acetic acid, and methyl acetate formed during the distillation of wood) to produce a malleable solid. It is marketed, with little success, as a sculpting material. German chemist Eriedrich Wohler first makes calcium carbide, from which he later obtains acetylene.
