MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colaur or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful opetatien, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within

scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful is inastica-

WM. SHAW, Managing Director.

the Mechanical Section, where gutta percha articles
of a great variety of kinds were displayed.
Wishaw undertook to be the • explainer of the varieties
of uses to which that valuable product is applicable,
among the not least curious of which are the speak-
ing tubes. Tubes were conducted from the plat-
form to the farthest extremity of the room, and
sounds were transmitted instantaneously. A whist',
fur calling attention is a novel addition to the speaking
tube, and to one was affixed a flute, which played " God
save the Queen" at one end of the room, by Mr. Wishaw's
blowing at the other end. Some beautiful imitations of
wood carvings were fixed to the walls, and a gutta perches
flute, that produced a very full tone, was handed about the
room. It was stated, as great practical advantages of
gutta percha soles for shoes, that they not only effectually
keep out the wet, but a working man might easily, by
means of the gutta percha cement, sole his own shoes
at a very small cost.
Mr. J. SCOTT RUSSELL explained the recent improve.
ments that have been made to steam navigation.
