81 likely to continue In this way for

close Of business on Friday afternoon
was not altogether welcome, although

markets and one matter that is act

these markets at the present Is the
approaching long suspension in bust
ness there through the Easter holi-
davs Some slight selling Of Anal
rafnated Copper was attributed to the
fe8r that the more dubious outlook
for an ending Of the Balkan war
would prove injurious TO the copper

The best treatment for California

most of which are discussed as fol =
lows:
Charring is probably one Of the old
est and most efficient Of the old time
processes It was found that Well
charred timbers resisted decay much
longer than those not 50 treated
There is no question of the benefit
The application Of the fire dries the
outer layer Of the wood very effectu-
ally This in itself is big step to
ward preservation. In addition the
fire burns up the sugar that the fungi
feed on and transforms the outer lay
ers of the wood into almost pure car
Ion, on which most Of the fungi can
rot SubSist. Hence. as long as Tins
layer of carbon remains unbrOkcn, the
timber is almost perfectly protected
The heat of the fire opens mp any
cracks that may have been starting
and their inner surfaces are charred
