Tho faculty of wood to withstand atmospheric prossuro Is so small, compared with Its mechanical ro Hlstnuro that a close study of now systeniB aiming at Its preservation Is of groat Intorost Industrially.

This Miibstanco Is sulphur, Uio phy sical properties of whloh orfor Inter esting advantages, bolng fusible at iibout 115 degrees, a tompornturo which tho wood can support without nny poreaptlblo change. Tho sul phur Is applied In liquid form, and lu hardening completely nils up all the Interstices of the fibrous tissue. Although sulphur oxidates easily If subjected to a high temporaturo, nt u medium temperature It remains MmpiiHslvo, restating not 01111110 in fluence of water, but also that of acids, concentrated or dltutol, nml nlkallne solutions, If cold, Tho rea son why tho utility of aulphur In tho direction Indlcntod had not been reoognUed oro now was on account l anted with sulphur, resombles n good donl. To protect wood by means of sul phur tho following must bo observed, viz. Sulphur Is fused In a befitting recoptaclo, making nso of steam to avoid an excess of heat, which de teriorates tho sulphur.
