The Rlining and Scientific Press. Petrotets Parst.—L. H. Tucker, of the Country Gentleman, in his notes on Long Island farming, thus alludes to a bain painted with petroleum: On the farm of R. W. Titus, I examined a barn painted six years ago with petroleum (tho heavy sort), mixed with Ohio mineral or earth-paint. It appeared not to have suffered in the slightest degreo by weather and time, the coat being complete and unchanged. The barn is niuety feet long nnd thirty-two wide, with sixteen feet posts, the wholo surfaco paintod being about 4,000 squaro feet. ‘Tho entire cost of the pctroloum, tho paint and of labor, was not over $24, It would probably be one-third moro at tho present time. It is obvionsly a very cheap aud perfect mode of coating wooden buildings, adapted even to handsomo dwellings. De ruosPpHorizaTion oF Inox. —Mr. Warren De la Ruo (Epg.) has patented an invention which cousists in tho introduction of lead, metallic or oxide, into the converting vessel so as to be thoroughly diffused in tho fluid metal, combining with the phosphorus in the iron, and the compound driven off by oxidation, Molten lead 1s introduced as soou as the blast has been turned into the conyertipg vessel. Compounds are driven in with tho blast, in the shape of powder. A LARcE-oseillating rock is said to have been fonnd in the wilderness of Western Arkansas. It is situated in the channel of a torrent, and moves to and fro, apparently from tho action of the water. The motion produces a loud noise, which can be heard several miles—so the story runs.
