CHEMISTRY KITS
NEW YORK (UPI) — If you
or a mature adolescent in the
family wants to dabble in
chemistry at the hobby level,
shop around for a chemistry kit
—or the makings of one.
But before dabbling be sure you
follow the safety instructions.
Chemistry kits can be used in
very nice hobby activity. But
unless caution is taken an
accident may result —and often
does when the hobbyist is
careless.
