Soluble Glass..-A Protection AgaInst
Fire, Damp, &C., &c.

To the Editor Of the Pioneer: "i.
The following article from HINTS l1ey-
chants Magazine, of February, 1859,
though over four years old, is not I'M
worthy of attention. The Soluble Glass,
though known to the scientific world for
over quarter of century, has been slow
in winning the public confidence Within
the last few years, however, its many ap-
plications in the unitarian arts, have ar
rested public attention in many parts of
Europe. 1 have never known any reason
why it should not be generally adopted as
a varnish for our Western steamboats,, as
protection against fire. No good boat
man ever feels quite easy on this subject.
Day and night, in port and out of port,
winter and summer, he is Mortified by the
fearful recollection that his boat may take
fire; and he well knows that cabin once
fairly on fire, all bis engines are useless :.
the destination of the vessel is inevitable.
Every passenger realizes the danger; and
there is, perhaps, no word so full of awful
omen to the steamboat passenger as the
word, Fire! Nor is this wonderful; for
rarely is steamboat burned, even on our
inland streams, without some precious
lives being lost, either by burning or
drowning.
But if this article is everything that it
claims to be, it may well be regarded as
the very best fire insurance on land.
Every wooden building might at trifling
expense, be protected. Not only so; every
house might be protected against the hu-
nudity which so generally prevails in wet
weather, and which is so detrimental to
health. Paint, both in and out doors,
might be preserved indefinitely, against
the action of the weather, and thus mil
lions of dollars saved every year, which
are now expended in repainting. A fence
it would seem, might at trif1ing expense,
be made to last almost indefinitely; where
as, under the ordinary treatment with oil
and lead, it can hardly be expected to last
more than seven years. In short, its pur-
pose is to mineralize timber, thus protect
ing it against fire and water, and more
perfectly to mineralize and strengthen
brick and stone.
