Any articles covered with cloth, such as boxes for microscopic objects, may be greatly improved by varnishing, and many articles, such as s:;iall boxes and cabinets, may be made of millboard covered with cloth and varnished, which, without the use ol varnish, would be necessarily made of wood, be heavier, not so strong, and more clumsy.
