Treated round posts resist termites with copper chromate mix
A Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory method treats green pressure treated round posts by soaking in a water solution of copper sulfate and sodium chromate, then drying. The chemical mix forms a toxic copper chromate compound that deters termites, with reduced leaching if kept damp in soil. Mississippi tests in 1942 showed improved longevity of hardwood and pine posts.

Old Steam Kettle Is Still Best Humidifier
CHICAGO The steam kettle reportedly works better than a mechanical humidifier for treating a childhood respiratory disorder says Dr Abraham Friedman of Haifa Israel. He argues steam adds more moisture, aiding breathing by keeping passages open. Moist air at room temperature enters the tract and moistens as it travels, then exits at body temperature, saturated with water.
