world which perhaps, she had benefit

get that Christ Himself was a Jew.

An effort is being made to intro
duce into England the Nodon-Breton-
neau method for seasoning wood by
means of electricity. BY this system
the timber to be seasoned Is placed in
a large tank and immersed, all but an
inch or two, in a solution containing
10 per cent of boraX, Of resin, and
0.75 of carbonate of soda. The lead
plate upon which 1t rests is connected
10 the positive pole of a dynamo, and
the negative pole being attached to a
similar plate arranged on its upper
surface so as to give good electrical
contact, the circuit is completed
through the wood After from five to
eight hours the wood is removed and
dried either by artificial or natural
means. In the latter case a fortnight's
exposure in summer weather is said
to render 1t as well seasoned as stor-
age in the usual way for five years.
