Examinations to illustrate the effects of atmospheric injluences on the stone. In testing the action of frost, I have appealed directly to the process of freezing the specimens after moistening them with ...distilled water. This mode of experimenting (not now apphed for the first time) has the advantage over other processes sometimes resorted to for imitating the effect of freezing, in producing both the chemical and the meclian- ical actions on the stone which naturally result from atmospheric hu- midity and a freezing temperature.
