I did think of killing it, and, on the whole, I rather wish that I had at any rate attempted slaughter, -- there were dozens of things, lying ready to my hand, any one of which would have severely tried its constitution; -- but, on the spur of the moment, the only method of taking it alive which occurred to me, was to pop over it a big tin canister which had contained soda-lime.

However, the important point to be noted is that whatever fluctuations in composition of the residual air were noted by the soda-lime method, similar fluctuations of a corresponding size were recorded by the volumetric analysis with the Sondén apparatus.

reesetee commented on the word soda-lime
Historically, the most common form of glass, soda-lime glass (sometimes called soft glass contains three major compounds in varying proportions; usually the makeup is silica (60 to 75 percent), soda (12 to 18 percent), and lime (5 to 12 percent). Soda-lime glass is relatively light; when heated, it remains workable over a wide range of temperatures, so it's useful for elaborate glassworking designs and techniques. In contrast, see borosilicate or hard glass.
