Then, drip about ten drops of cold water onto the bottom of the bell. Wait until it cools, then lift the bell;You will see the mercury vapor clinging to the inside of the bell; immediately use a finger dipped in water to scrape it off. Wrap it in two layers of mulberry paper, then wring out the mercury to form beads the size of red beans.
