By means of a timple chemical prooasa a beautiful coloring of yellow is now given to marble, without any injarions effect upon the polish or hardnesa of the stone. Neutral chloride of iron bfor tnb purpose dissolved n ninety per cent, of alcohol, and after gently heating the marble to be colored, the solution in qaeation ia applied by means of a bruah, a sprinkler, or by pLuring, the strength of the solution being, of course, proportioned to the depth of the color desir- ed, and cars being requbito also in regard to the degree of temperature. On the marble becoming completely dry it b mobtened with water o- exposed to moist air, wh n the decomposition of the lalt of iron takes place hi the upper strata, and the prooess of coloration is complete, all that remains to be done bebg to polish the turfaoe, if n«^ces- sary, or it may be simply rabbed off wi»h a wet cloth.
