To Keen Iron from Eus;ing.

A simple method of keeping iron and
steel from rusting is to coat them with
n solution of rubber in bcnzol, made
about the consistency of cream. II may
be applied with q brush, and is easily
rubbed Off when desired. A coating Of
more use where the tooth" impaired
by rubber would be disadvantageous
is prepared by dissolving two parts OF
crystals of chloride of iron, two of
anthony chloride and one of tannin in
four Of water. Apply with a sponge OF
rag and allow to dry. As many coats
can be given as are deemed necessary.
When dry it is washed with water,
again allowed to dry and polished with
