str It are their sole agents for the United States;
Mr. Bernhard is arranging them for exhibition with
much taste and advantage
| Among the minerals and ores are to be noticed
/, one piece Of bsmuth, entirely pure
| One piece of native bismuth found in the mine
| Of Sanschwart, in Saxony. It is sample of the
purest and richest ore found.
| One piece of bismuth, mixed with cobalt ORE
showing the shade of the mine, and the paragonis
| of metals.
One piece OF gray cobalt ore, found at sanchwart,
Saxony. This is sample of the purest and richest
cobalt ore found
Two pieces Of crystalized cobalt ore; the crystals
in part of them are well prescved in another place
partly withered and in another one spots are visible
where the crystals are entirely destroyed.
One piece Of nickel, mixed with quartz, cobalt,
and copper nickel It is very instructive in regard
to the formation of the mine Daniel" !" in Saxony.
One piece Of hard coppernickel, found at Lieben-
stein, Saxony.
The metals are very interesting in regard to their
different in every day affairs. Bismuth, for in
stance, is an ingredient Of the type metal. Nicke
is used in We manufacture of German silver-and
cobalt for blue coloring on China and other wares
-Four peices Of arsenic found at Weldeman, in
Saxony.
Native platina of Sabria and platna wire and
sheets. Palladium wolfram and rhodum in pure
metallic state-t is very difficult to separate these
metals from those with which they are generally
mixed in the native state-these metals are of little
practical use. Lythia mica, found at Geizing, in
Saxony. DR.. Strive used it in making artificial
mineral waters-dfferent pieces of artificial pumace
stone
nIo
are but little used, but which were manufactured by
Cehe Co, to show them in their purest state. The
why they not used is that the cost OF their
preparation is more than their value. We find Alum
entirely free from iron; alum in all its combinations
with other chemical matters in its purest state.
Amongst the arsenic, its ores and oxydes, is to be
noticed the red oxyde of arsenic, on account of
its being used for preserving wood for ship bding,
and in the manufa ,ture of morocco leather.
Cadmium in q metallic state, used by dentists
in making enamel colors for artificial teeth. All
the different acids, bases, salts, &C., used in me-
dicne, and for technical purposes, such as acitic
acid glacia!is, phosphorc acid gacias, silicc acid
pure, from prepared native sicic acid, prepared in
the moist way; the same dried and gelatnized.
Worthy Of notice are the different ethers, such as
apple, pineapple, pear, strawberry, mulberry, my
bonbons, and other confectionery. These are the
triumph OF modern chemistry, as they are artif-
caly produced entirely out Of fusioil without any
Of the fruits, whose names they bear
Butter rum and brandy ethers-the essence of
rum and brandy for artfc caly making these liquors.
The base Of all these is amye, oxyydrat fusilo,
which is easily gained in dstilling and rectifying
the different alcoholic liquors.
of Ill,
resada, mytheem, lavendar, quintessence of laven-
dar, which costs about So Per pound, &c.
Some flowers contain too little oil to be gained by
pressing them. The French first introduced the
method Of picking the blossoms Of flowers
and pouring oil them which, after
being impregnated, took the flavor of the
blossom, and afterwards filtered it, from which
they took the name of French fixed oils; diff
ferent French alcoholic essences for perfumery;
large bottle of essential oil Of arnica the value
ofwhch is, in Europe, $40 per ounce, o. great reme
dial value in medicine; essential oil of mustard
which, from its specific gravity, will be found to be
entirely pure; and essential oils Of about sixty other
different plants. Amongst the herbs and drugs, a
good many found ia their native state and others
prepared to enuyerate all OF which would be diff
| fcuit task. Catalogues, which are now being pre-
pared will be furnished soon, printed in the Latin,
English, French and German languages, and will
give better list than it is possible give in
paper report.
| Attention is invited to plant called kourso, a
very strong vermifuge, brought from Abyssinia by
Roger d d'Haricourt AT its introduction it was con-
sdered valuable as god but has since declined in
! value.
Root Of samler wood, large root with strong
smell OF musk iavorite incense of the East, and has
| been much esteemed in European Russia and Ger
| many an antchoera remedy.
| The root OF allium victorias Tonga, much used in
olden times by the common people as an amulet
against bodily injury for exercising ghosts and hob
| gobins, also TO keep CATTLE from diseases.
Alcoholic powders, of different barks and herbs
all of them are said to be Of the greatest neness
and warranted not only to be genuine, but also per
| fecty pure.
| Amongst the different colors and dyestuffs which
exhibited in such large quantities in the different
| departments, is to be mentioned abumen from ami
| NAL blood and albumen from eggs. 1t is used tor
| clarifying wine, and, in connection with utramarinc
for coloring and printing. The high price and great
demand for it IN Europe ought to render it object
| to the owners of chemical factories in America to
| produce it.
