Zinc chloride is injected into the tim
ber in water solution. 1t also is used
in mixtures of creosote. When used
alone in wet climates the zinc chloride
gradually is washed out, leaving the
timber unprotected. Even in wet cli-
mates, however, timbers treated with
this chemical far outlast wholly un-
treated timber. In dry climates excel
lent results are obtained by the use of
the zinc compound.
One of the most important qualities
OF wood preservative is its toxic
quality. Timber decay is said to be
brought about by the attack of fungi
and probably certain forms of bacteria
upon the wood tissue. The object of
the various treatments is, then, the
prevention of the development of these
organisms in the wood through the
longest possible period. Creosote an

wood tissue. without which the fungi
cannot find lodgment.

ed as possible substitutes for the Eu-
ropean oils. A large part of the water
gaS-tar now produced Is either burned
or thrown away, although government
experts claim that it is nearly as ef-
decay as the commercial oils,
While petroleum oils tested by
government chemists have little or no
toxic properties. they nevertheless car
be used for the protection of timber
as they exclude the moisture from tn,
wood cells which is necessary to tn
fungi growths. The coal-tar creosote
is highly toxic. 1t is therefore sus-
gested that saving of creosote be
effected by mixing it with crude petro-
leum. workable proportion has been
placed at 10 per cent high-grade creo-
sote to 80 per cent crude petroleum
If such mixture can be employed
with success, the domestic supply of
creosote would more than equal home
needs. If all the timber in the United
States treated with creosote in 1913
had been impregnated with a mixture
of 10 per cent creosote and 80 per cent
crude petroleum there would have
been surplus of more than 30,00o,000
gallons of creosote. This treatment
could be best used with railway ties
