I'rrnorvliiB Wood Acalnst I'lre. Tho methods of preserving wood ngnlnst flro, explains Bclentlllo American, aro of two kinds tho Injection of xalluo solutions nnd the application of a paint or coating. Tho former npcars but littlo practical, niid, indeexl, short of proof to tho contrary, it must bo considered dangerous In thu enso of wood of largo dimensions. This system is, however, applicable to small pieces of wood. Of nil tho substances recommended, n con ecntratod solution of phosphate of ammonia is umloubtHly tho best, tho uso of this sub Etancu, notwithstanding its high price, pav Kcsslng sueli great advantages that it should bo employed in nil eaM-s whoro expenso is no object. In tho majority of cases, howovor, coating with a brush is tbo only practical solution of tho question, nnd tho substances most to bo recommended for use in .Ls man ner nro cynuldo of (totassluni nnd lutbcstos paint.
