Fire Proof Wood.

For various purposes in the arts, as well
as in ordinary domestic matters, it is often a
desideratum to render wood indeaagrable,
or fire proof The following recipe for at
tanning this object, emanates from distn-
guished French savant Its efficiency can
be easily tested.
doctor Fuchs, member of the Academy
of Science at Munich, has discovered a
composition made of granuated earth and
an alkai To obtain it, the inventor says,
you must dissolve some moist gravelly earth,
which has been previously well washed, and
cleaned from any Heterogeneous matter, in
solution of caustc alkai. This mixture
has the property of not becoming decom-
posed by fire or water. When spread upon
wood, it forms a vitreous coat, and is proof
against the two elements. The Building
Committee of the Royal Theatre have twice
publicly tried the composition ON two small
buildings; the one which was not covered
with the composition was consumed, while
the other remained perfect and entire. The
cost of this process is very Insignificant
compared with its great utility, being about
two franks three cenrimes per hundred
square feet. The Royal theatre at Munich
has undergone this process, having about
400, 600 square feet; the expense Of which
was about 1000 or 5000 francs"
