GLUE MADE WATER PRoor.-A cor
respondent informs US, says the Albany
knickerbocker, that he has succeeded in
making a g lue perfectly water proof, and
having the property also of drying immedi-
ately after its application. His method we
learn is first to innerse com mon glue in
cold water, until it becomes perfectly soft,
but yet retaining its original form after
which it is to be dissolved in common lin
seed oil, assisted by gentle heat, until it be-
comes entirely taken up by the latter, after
which it may be applied to substances for
adhesion 10 each ether in the way common
glue is applied. 1t dries almost Immediate
ly and water will exert 10 action on it, 1t
is unnecessary to state for how many vaua-
BILE purposes in the arts this application may
be used. For cabinet makers it is inpor-
tant, as mahogany vencrs, when glued by
this substance will never fall off by expo
sure to the atmosphere. In ship building
it will probably answer valuable purpose,
as it has infinitely more tcnaci,y than com
mon glue; and becomes impervious to water.
