RUSSIAN OppOsITION.

ST. PETERSBURG, soy. THE Journal
de 50. Petersburg says that the Bulgarian
movement is undeserVing of sympathy
because II is a violation Of the Protocols
and not a revolution. 'fhe union Of Bull
garia and Eastern ROumelia Is impOs-
sible without re0pening the whole Eastern
question. Bulgaria must return to
status Qu0 ante. The Journal admits that
a European commission might revise the
ROumelian status. IL says that most Of
the powers are disposed to restore the
status ono, and hopes the Balkan con-
ference will be unanimous.

Tho death al Mary Queen Of Scots so
affected one of her Ietinue, that ne died
soon after Of grief, leaving his widow,

.furiated in consequence, that she resolved
TO revenge the death Of both upon the

GAS TAR.
It Will Make Fence Posts Proof Against
the Weather for Years.


the Weather for Years.
In the manufacture OF illuminating
gas from bituminous coal, a large guam
tity (amOunting to about ei1 ut per
cent of the coaD. of thick black,
strong-smclling liquid is co. ected,
known rs gas tar and coal tar. This is
4 very complex substance, and 10y dis
tillatim yields several oils, etc. leaving
behind a solid pitch, cafed coke-pitch,
and incorrectly asphaltum, true
aSphaltum being !, natural product.
Gas t:,r. as it comes from the gas works,
is used for various purposes. among
others, for the preservation of timber.
especially fences and fence-posts. for
the making of roofing composition. and
in laying what are called asphalt walks.
We have had complaints that it APP
peared to be of little value in preserv-
ing wood. and several have inquired as
to the proper method of using it. 1t is
not unlikely, as there are di ferent
kinds of coal used in gas making, that
the tar varies greatly in its pro perties.
In England, where it is much more used
as follows: Three gallons of coal tar,
in an iron kettle, is set over slow fire
and allowed to simmer for al out an
hour. This should be done in the open
air. as there * danger of its taking fire.
After it has sInmered for this time. add
4 handful of fine quick-lime. aid stir
well together. Remove from the fire,
and add quart of benAine Or ,phtha.
or sufficient To make it work well from
a brush. The coal tar thus pre- pared is
applied to fence-posts and other wood
while hot. The writer says: Two
coats will do. and will make any kind
of wood proof from all weather for
years. Another writer adv SEES to
make use of the tar is IL comes from
the gas works. adding enough benzine
from half a gill to one gill 70 each
quart Of tar, to make it work ike thin
paint. 1t is to be applied with an old
brush 10 the wood. which should be
perfectly dry.-4merara -igricx furit.
