When it was put into the solution, it had cracked in various radial directions some of the openings being large enough to admit a penny piece. The wood was now rendered perfectly solid, and a slight alteration in the level shewed where the fissures had been. This was a remarkable illustration of the manner in which the corrosive sublimate acts upon the wood. The diameter, which had been perfectly level, was now distinctly curved; and 24 the two extremities were gathered up toward the vertical p...art of the wood. The spherical surface was given to the diameter by the process, when all the parts which were separated became dragged together; and the result was, that it had acquired a degree of firmness it would never otherwise have had, and was now fit to be employed at any time for any of the purposes for which wood may be used. Thus, by the change this process effects, in many species of wood, that which would be rejected on account of insufficiency will be ren- dered competent for every purpose the architect may desire.
