received from the original inventors and sole manu-
facturers, large supply of the genuine
DOric Lamp.
This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily

taken out and the wick raised above the tube sufi-
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge, which

at ihe present lime, when The smelling fur
naces Of England are in hitherto unknown
state Of activity, The objec, which Ih,
Frenchmsn sought to accomplish, was TO
imparl to irou dross the compacness and
hardness Of granite, and, at the same time,
10 save lhe cos, and labor which the hewing
of The real stone requires. TO this end, he
con,rived TO LEI the iron refuse, while in =
huid state, run into iron basins, which were
previously brought TO red heat by being
placed so as 10 receive the superluous
fame which issues from The mouth Of the
furnace, and in order 10 insure the slow
cooling, these forms are provided with
double slides between which sand is intro
duced, which is well known 10 be bad
conductor of heat; the whole is again
brought 10 glow heat, and in like manner
again cooled of. BY this procedure, il is
asserted the ingenious discoyerer has sue
ceeded in forming paving stones, flags,

polish equal, ifnot superior, TO the best
hewn natural graniIe,a at the most trifirg
