ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Dr. Ryan,
this week, is delivering a course of lectures on the
Chemistry of the Breakfast-table—a subject which, by-
the-bye, enables him to give his audience an immense
amount of really useful information. The principal fea-
ture of the lecture is the new process of preserving milk,
patented by Mr. Moore, late of Arlington-street, hold-
ingani tnmi

long voyages, and returned perfectly sweet and good.
By means of this process the milk was kept perfectly
clean and unadulterated. - The difficulty of obtaining
such a commodity on a sea voyage must render an inven-
tion of the sort a great azquisition to the traveller. The
milk was preserved in a solid state, and this was done by
separating one of its component parts—water. This water
being separated, the solid mass was placed in cases made
air• tight, and fit for sea travelling. It may be kept for any
length of time without losing any degree of its proper-
ties. The lecture was exceedingly well attended, and
the audience appeared to relish highly the learned
doctor's style and matter.
