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.
