hearty recommendation OF it as a preventive of Fire

ings. The Paint which you put on nv roofs has now
become as hard slate, and feel secure from fire
IN this direction, as is possible. lew weeks after the
roots had been painted, made experiment. on two
or Three shingles by placing them in the furnace under
the boilers the result was, that the portion uncovered
was entirely consumed, while the painted part was ap.
parently sound. though upon examination the wood
was found to be charred the Paint however was firm,
and but little bllstered consider this
asyour Paint can be put to- and under the c,rcum-
stances do not he state to commend il AZ an invalus
BILE preventive against Fire.
