" That when a thistle should be stet► to grow front
the top of the Fountain-well. in Edinburgh (a
stone-building after the old fashion), salt would be.
come dearer than meal." In the course of time
a thistle was seen to grow from the top of this humid.
ing, and ere the season of its appearance had
elapsed, Mr. Pitt introduced his famous tax on
salt, by which the prophecy was even more than
realised. SWIFT has a prophecy somewhat of the

in: Daacer, a French chemist, has fallen upon
a plan to extract the gelatinous matter front boor.,
both as a nutritious substance and as a strong glue,
by the means of niuritic acid, and without em-
ploying heat to boil the bones.

Many essays have been made of late to pre.
verve a uniform temperature in breweries and distil-
leries, by confining the aitirmth to substances all ch
are had conductors of heal. The cement invented
for this purpose by Mr. Kurten, the architect at
Wierhaden, has been highly consinended. It is
stated to have the property of concentrating in
stoves, and especially the economic stoves, almost
all the heat, so that it is expended wily upon the
things to be heated, and never in vain. The Poly-
technic Society at Munich, which has lately ass-
lysed this cement, finds that it is indeed useful, hut
however not so advantageous as the inventor suppos-
ed. According to the analyais of this Socirt%,
Mr. Kurten's cement consists of earthy made.
