ARTIFICIAL MARBLE.
The Natural Stone Is Now Closely Imi-
tated by Chemical Means.

The Natural stone Is Now Closely Imi-
rated by Chemical Means.
Marble is now so closely initiated by
chemical means that there is often
great difficulty in telling the imitation
from the natural stone, says the St.
Louis Globe Democ rat. by new proc
ess limestone or chalk may be con
verted into the nature of marble of
any tint or combination of shades,
while the specific gravity is increased
On the surface of the water bath used
for the veining there is sprinkled a
varnish composed of sesquioxide of
iron, gum and turpentine, and, water
being unstable, a freedom of design
is obtained, especia lily when the tur-
pentine is broken up by the addition of
soap After the stone is dipped in tur-
pentine it is immersed in solutions of
sulphate of iron, copper, or zine, sep
arate or in combination.
The difference in shades is obtained
by varying the per iod of immersion and
the order of tank used. Copper and iron
sulphate give dark colors, zinc and iron
alternately give light yellow, while the
use of the three conse cutively gives
dark yellow and brown in variegated
tints. After being treated in the sui
phate baths the stone is immersed in
a warm-water bath to fix the colors,
all air being meanwhile expelled. The
color is said to permeate the full
thickness of the stone which is after
ward dried in an oven. The next step
is an immersion in an indurating bath
of solution of sulphate of zinc, which
so closes up the pores and hardens the
stone that it acquires nearly the den
sity of natural marble, and is then
ready for polishing in the ordinary
way

Most farmers in seeding wish to keep
the land in grass more than single
year. For this purpose a mixture Of
alsike clover seed with timothy seed
makes the best combination that we
know Of The first years growth will
be mainly alsike, and the first crop to
be cut will contain scarcely any tim
othy. But alsike clover is a biennial,
ard its first cutting is its last. Of
course, its roots begin to decay after
the plant has died, and then the tim
