A plan recently introduced into ikd gaim for preserving wood from decay produced by the atmosphere, water, etc.. is to fill the jores with a liquid gutta percha, which is said to elh-itually pre serve it from moisture and the action of the sun. TLe process employed consists in exhausting the air from the pores ol the wood, aud tilling with guttapercha f-olutiou. In pouring the solution into the pores, the solid guttapercha is li.pie tied by mixing w ith pararline in propor tion of about two-thirds of guttapercha to one-thir l of paratline ; the mixture is then submitted to the action of heat and the guttaitc-rcha becomes 6u''.icienl!y liquid to be easily introduced into the tKjrcs of the wood. TLe ruttaj.crcha li.pitdied by thir process hardens in the pores of the wood as Boon as it becomes cold. Nut .lout Now ta Semlim.
