An Admirable I,jauid Grating Wax

The following is recipe for making I4ef-
ort's liquid grating wax, which is highly re-
commended in France where it wa. invent
cd, and until lately kept secret Melt one
pound Of common rosin over Il gentle fire.
Add to t an ounce of beef tallow and stir it
well. Take it from the fire, let it cool down
little and then mix with teaspoonful of
spirits of turpentine and after that about
seven ounces of very strcng alcohol (sixty-
five per cent. The alcohol cools it down 50
rapidly that it will be necessary to put it
again on the fire, stirring it constantly. Still
the utmost care must be exercised to keep
the alcohol from getting inhamed. To
avoid it the best way is to remove the vessel
from the fire when the lump that may have
been formed commences melting again. This
must be continued till it is homogeneous
mass, similar to honey. After few days
exposure to the atmosphere it assumes
whitish color, and becomes as hard As stone,
being imperyious to water or air.
