We designed, he other day, to notice letter
from Col. Trumbull to the Speaker Of the House
OF Representatives, in Congress, pointing out q
mode Of preserving the National Paintings 10
the Capitol from the effects Of damp and mil>
dew The plan recommended is, to coat the
back Of The pictures with wax. The idea was
suggested to the distinguished artist by the
knowledge thai wa1ed cloths were used in the
preparation Of Egyptian mummies. The body
Of Edward ]. together with Its robes and DINA
ments, closely enveloped in waxed cloths, was
found, after lapse Of four or FIVE hundred
years, in an excellent state Of preservation.
The method Of applying wax to pictures is,
to soften common beeswaI, by meI,ing !, over
FIRE, with an equal quantity Of oil Of turpen
tine; apply the mixture hot on the back Of the
cloth, and rub i, in with hot irons until the cloth
be saturated.
