A Firanroaf StraY.

The Moscow Agricultural Society," has
been making come interesting tests Of
aireproofng compound, the invention
of a Russian genius, and with the most
gratifying results. At the public trials
made a shanty was built entirely of
straw, and, after being covered with
the paste, was subjected to a hot fire,
the straw, under this operation. merely
changing from a yellow to o reddish
brown color, without igniting or even
cracking. The society in question has,
it is stated. decided to introduce this
new invention or process throughout
the empire, considering that it must
prove of the highest value in villages
where the houses are matched with
straw. The cost of this preparation,
as well as Of applying it, is said to be
very slight. The value of this inven~
ton a hardly be overatated. If it
will afford ven partial protection to

rails necessarily used in architecture il
