TO RENDER IRON WE1THER-PROOF
From Industries and Iron.


Countless attempts have been made TO deal with
the problem In iron structures. new process
has been suggested which consists IN treating the
iron with q solution Of ferro-cyanide. This forms
a coating Of cyanide OF iron that is stated to be
uniform and impcrmeable. and OF such nature as
to effectively protect the iron so covered. The
solution Is mixed with a laxsced varnsh. 10 which
has been added n little turpcntine or benZol. as

be applied without difficulty. The evaporation OF
the alcohol leaves the naxseed vnrnish which
forms a coat and protects the cyanide of iron
which Is deposited upon the metal The iron re-

moving any rust that may already have been
formed and which may be too thick To admit OF the
