A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH, 52, FLEET-STREET.
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 col ur 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 operation, 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
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastics-

the Mechanical Section, where gutta percha articles
4' a great variety of kinds were displayed. Mr.
Wiihaw undertook to be the explainer of the varieties
uses to which that valuable product is applicable,
.imong 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
,ounds were transmitted instantaneously. A whistle
or calling attention is a novel addttion to the speaking
uhe, an a 1 to ono WaS EfilXfqt a flute, which played" God
save the gaeon" at sub end of the room, by Mr. Wishaw's
at the other end. Some beautiful imitations of
N.-od carvings were fixed to the walls, and a gutta percha
lite, that produced a very full tone, was handed about the
room. It was stated, as great practical advantages of
gutta percha soli s for shoes, that they not only effectually
keep out the wet; but a working mau might easily, by
means of the gutta percha cement, sole his own shoes
at avery small cost.

Mr. S. SCOTT ItussELL explained the recent improve-
ments that have been made to steam navigation.
