WHITEWASH THAT WILL NOT RUB OFF. 



A first class whitewash is made by dissolving- 2 lbs. of 

 ordinary glue in 7 pints of water, and when all is dissolved, 

 adding 6 oz. of bichromate of potassium, dissolved in a pint 

 of hot water. Stir the mixture up w'ell, and then add suffi- 

 cient Avhiting to make it up to the usual consistency, and ap- 

 ply with a brush in the ordinary manner as quickly as pos- 

 sible. This dries in a very short time, and, by the action 'f 

 light, becomes converted into a perfectly insoluble waterproof 

 substance, which does not wash off even with hot water, and 

 at the same time does not give rise to mould growth, as white- 

 wash made up with size often does. It may be colored to any 

 desired shade by the use of a trace of any aniline dye or 

 powdered coloring, while by the addition of a small proportion 

 of calcic sulphite its antiseptic power is much increased. —
