To Fill Pores In Stone,

Stone and brick are porous. so much
so thai they are not suitable as liquid
containers. and if used outdoors they
take up water which freezes, causing
small bits to crack and fall off. 1t is
often desirable to fill these pores. and
this may be done with a solution OF
paraftin and %naphtha. This solution is
readily soaked up. and the naphtha
evaporates. leaving the pores filled
with the parafin. If the rock Or brick
is treated with soft soap and then
washed with alum an insOluble CON-
pound is formed. which also acts as a
good filler. A solution Of sodium sill

MAKING GOOD PUTTY.
The Various Insrsdisnts Should H.
Ihorouahly knaaded.

The Various Ingredients Should H.
Thoroughly knsadsd.
The mixing OF putty has very much
to do with its working properties. its
capacity for staying whore 1t is put
and its s%urfacing quality. Always
mix the putty thoroughly, working all
the various ingredients intimately to-
gether and into a smooth. clean, uni
form mass In which there is no va
rableness. Inadequate working Of
the pigment will result in a putty
containing perhaps dry bits of lead or
whiting. These dry particles Of pig.
ment when present in the putty are
worked on to the surface under the
knife, and when the sandpapering Of
the putty occurs they Immediately
tear out. leaving little holes in the
surface. which, In order to make a
good Job Of surface filing and smooth
ing, must be reglazed with putty.
These dry crumbs Of lead or whiting
should eve be present in putty.
Thorough kneading and mixing Is q
sure preventive Of this bad fault. 1t
is quicker and cheaper than any cure
that can be devised. Good putty
should be tough and elastic and never
dry and crumbling. 1t should not
only be tough and elastic; but. in adj
ditiOn. il should be adhesive. tenacious
and capable of being worked down un-
der sandpaper or with water and arti-
fetal rubbing one.-Blacksmith and
