New Discovery IN RELATION TO STONE
1t is stated in the Sheffield (Eng) Mercury
that a scientific gentleman residing at Ipswich,
Nr. Frederick Ransomc, engineer, has lately
discovered method whereby the hardest stone
can be brought into consistence resembling
common putty, so that 1t can be cut and mould
ed into any shape for useful and ornamental
purposes, without altering its general charac-
ter and appearance; for it becomes as hard,
and in some instances even harder, than when
subjected to the process. Another pocullarty
of the process is, hat any color or variety OF
colors, can be impaired to its solid substance
so that an endless variety of shades can be
produced, and, as it is capable of beng polish
ed, it eflectually resists the actian of the wa
ter. 1t Can also be used as a cement, and can
be brushed over the surface Of wood, so as to
render it fire-proof.
