Prcservine wood From Decay.

A plan recently introduced into Belgium
for preserving wood from decay produced
by the atmosphere, water, etc, is TO I'll
the pores with liquid gutta percha, which
Is said 70 perfectly preserve 1t from moist
ure and the action Of the sun. The solid
gutta percha is liquefed by mixing it with
paraiIino in proportions of about two
thirds Of gutta pcrcha to one-third OF
paranlne; the mixture is then subjected to
the action Of heat, and the guita percha
becomes sufficiently liquid to be easily in
