Stewart, 691 Lothrop Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 24-3 Antidote is Found for Teredos' Activities One of the most destructive pests that the logging operator and the sawmill man in B. C. have had to contend with is the teredo. No known remedy to combat its activities has been found until what is known as Piper's Anti-Teredo has been placed on the market. This con- cern, of which Mr. C. T. W. Piper is the president, with headquart- ers in Vancouver, , has, it is believed, been successful in pro- ducing a commodity that absolu- tely defies the teredo. Tests of this paint have been carried out, tests of a rigid character, and in every instance the wood which had been treated with Piper's Anti-Teredo has come out of the water scathless, while timbers that had not been so treated have been transformed into something resembling a honeycomb. These pieces of timber have been allowed to remain under teredo-infested waters for several months. In some cases only part of the wood was treated with the stuff and it is remarkable that on examination it was found that the little water worm ate its way right up close to the paint and then turned back. The paint soaks its way through the wood and prevents the teredo making havoc with it. This composition is by no means expensive, and it is claimed—and there appears to be every foundation for that claim—that large sums of money will be saved through the appli- cation of this paint, which has the property of being everlasting.
