A PILE-PREsERvING PREPARATIoN.-C.
w. Duffsy has been awarded patent
for method of protecting piles and
the woodwork of wharves from decay
and the ravages Of the teredo and other
destructive insects. Experiments of
the new method, which have thus far
been attended with success, are now
being made by the Board of State Har-
Dor Commissioners. The patent in
cludes a composition Of asphaltum and
ground glass, with which the piles are
coated when dry and then covered by a
wire screen, which is fastened with cop
per nails, when second coating OF
ground glass is applied. The screen
acting rs bond between the coatings
prevents them from being lOosened by
conclusion or Earring. Asphaltum has
always boon recognized by experts as
one Of the best preservatives, but the
trouble heretofore has been to make it
adhere to the piles. The piles now las,
on an average from eighteen months to
two years, and, it is claimed, can be
presei we'd for ten years by the adoption
Of the new method. Ii such should
prove to be the case the State would
save in the course of ten years on the
5000 piles now in use in San Francisco
harbor about $1,000, 000.-S. =. Chron-
