HARDENING PLASTER OF PARIS
Process by Which the Usefulness of the
 Composition May be Enhanced.


 ssThese plaster casts are very success ful as rule," said lover of fine art in the statuary gallery at the Art insti- tate the other day, but unfortunately, they cannot be long preserved. The dumid weather, of which we have superabundance in this locality, will destroy them ere many years have passed" This is the general complaint. Recently, however, patent has been taken out in Germany for the treat ment of articles of plaster of paris with an aqueous solution of ammonium borate, for the purpose of hardening them and rendering them insolubie in water. The process referred to is said to give results decidedly superior to anything that has heretofore been pro- posed. The hardening liquid may either be mingled with the plaster in the act of molding or may be applied on the surface of the finished casts with brush. The solution is prepared oy dissolving boracic acid in warm water and adding thereto sufficient am- monia to form the borate, which re- mains in the solution. The manner of using the solution is thus described: The saturation of the gypsum or paint ing sf the plaster of paris is carried out in the cold. The objects are sub- sequently rinsed off and dried. The surface becomes very hard after two days and insoluble in water. while tho induration in the interior advances more slowly. By means of the fluid described gypsum floors can be hard ened and rendered more durable and impervious to the influence of the weather. Saturating with ammonium borate is said to be especially useful on the exterior walls of buildings, bar racks. etc.; on the latter, because ex- periments have proved an antiseptic action of the liquid.
