The polishing pomades are generally perfumed with essence of myrbane. Polishing powders are prepared as follows: 4 lb. magnesium carbonate, 4 lb. chalk, and 7 lb. rouge are intimately mixed. 4 lb. magnesium carbonate are mixed with 150 grains fine rouge. An excellent and harmless polishing water is prepared by shaking together 250 grains floated chalk, 1 lb. alcohol, and 20 grains ammonia.
ANALYSIS OF PERFUMED SCOURING PASTES. The analysis of No. 1 resulted in water and traces of myrbane oil, 3.66 per cent.; fatty acid, melting at 104° F., 54.18 per cent.; iron peroxide, 10.11 per cent.; silicic acid, 14.48 per cent.; alumina, 17.31 per cent.; lime and magnesia, traces. The iron peroxide is partly soluble in hydrochloric acid, the alumina entirely so as silicate.
