456. It not unfrequently happens that a remarkably beautiful 

 specimen of crystallization developes itself, which the observer 

 desires to keep for display. In order to do this successfully, it 

 is necessary to exclude the air; and Mr. Warington recommends 

 castor-oil as the best preservative. A small quantity of this 

 should be poured on the crystallized surface, a gentle warmth 

 applied, and a thin glass cover then laid upon the drop, and 

 gradually pressed down ; and after the superfluous oil has been 

 removed from the margin, a coat of marine glue or other varnish 

 is to be applied.
