When articles are required to be preserved for many months (such as polisbed steel grates). siripsof papei freely covered with powdered lime are to bt wrapped around the bars; nr thev may b# placed in cases t and interstices filled up witl quick lime. Pianoforte \vires and sinal goods are preserved in the same way. Th< rationak of the method is this—sieel wil not oxidize in dry air, and thus indirectly th< line preserves sreel from rust.
