These sleepers had been prepared by Mr. J. Bethell's process; they are all perfectly sound, showing that the preservative liquid had penetrated perfectly through each sleeper. Samples of timber are also shown which have been prepared with creosote, used in the construction of the chain pier at Edinburgh, and were perfectly sound, while timber which had not been so prepared was redu...
