NEW USE FOR REFINED PARAF-
Fine WAX.

A new and important use for
Refined Paraffine Wax seems to have
been discovered by prominent resi-
dent of Ohio, living near Lancaster,
who had two trees badly damaged by
storm, one being a maple and the
other an apple. In each case a large
limb was broken down from the
trunk, but stil attached to it. The
limbs were propped up and fastened
securely with straps, very much as a
broken leg might be fastened with
splints, and then melted refined wax
poured into and over all the cracks
The ''surgical operation" was entirely
successful. The Paraffine prevented
the escape Of the sap, kept out the
rain and moisture which would have
rotted the trees, prevented the depre-
dations of insects, and the limbs seen
thus far to be perfectly re-attached tC
the trees.
