The information comes via Cornell
university that New England gen.
ius recently discovered a cheap meth
cd of dissolving zinc by combining it
with hydrogen and producing solu-
ton called zinc water. 'This liquid il
applied to certain woods, notably white
wood, makes it absolutely fire-proof
and at low cost. The invention is
kept secret for the present. Only one
foreigner-Sir Lyon Playfair, the En-.
glish scientist-knows of it. He is
said to confirm all that is claimed fol
the invention, adding that the inven
tor is bungling chemist, but that ht
has a faculty of blundering into the
choicest secrets in natures labora

THE Oldest enterprise mentioned in
history or known to tradition is only
just approaching completion. That
is the canal through the isthmus OF
Corinth, in Greece. History tells us
that it was first planned $500 years
ago, and work was actually begun on
it under emperor Nero, over seven
hundred years ago. When completed
it will be four miles long and deer
enough to float the largest vessels
that navigate the adjacent seas.
