Heat-proof Cover:
Curling metal is key to the Moorish look and this Table tops that by having a tiled surface. Bright tiles are central to the design and they're practical, too - creating a tough, heat-proof cover for a table. The stool looks suitably j ethnic and is quite low, another j hallmark of Moorish style.Fiber Glass.—One of the newer products of glass manufacture is fiber glass, which has all the appearance of vegetable or animal threads. It is extremely flexible, and can be made in thread with a thickness of about %ooth of the thickness of a human hair. Fiber glass is moisture proof, vermin proof, heat resistant, and fire proof. It was perfected commercially and came into general use shortly before World War II as insulation, cloth, and in other forms. It is made as staple— that is, fibers up to 15 inches in length—or as thread. As staple it is used almost exclusively as insulating material. As thread it is used to make cloth for various purposes. It can be colored, and holds the color as well as wool or silk. Its manufacture is a continuous process.
Use 5- to lo-gallon aquarium with tightly fitting screen top, which must be escape-proof. As roaches breed in dark quarters, cover bottom with 2 inches of sawdust. Provide plenty of cover material; scatter many thin pieces of bark over sawdust; pile several over each other. Warmth is essential for normal development; place aquarium where temperature is most constant; put near Heater during night.
