Gutta Percha.

In its crude state, Gutta Percha has no re
semblance whatever to India Rubber, nor are
its chemical or mechanical properties the same
nor does the tree from which it is taken be.
long to the same family of trees, or grow in
the same soil yet, from the fact that it can
be dissolved, and wrought into waterproof
wares, many, not informed upOn the subject
have inclined to the belief that the two ma
terials are identically, or very nearly the same
But nothing could be more erroneous, as may
be seen by the following comparisons:
Gutta Percba is produced from the ISonan.
dra or Gutta tree is u sap of brownish
color which, when exposed to the air. soon
solidfeS, and forms the Gutta Percha of com.
merce. 1t is fbrous material much reSem.
bling the inner coat of white oaS bark, is ex-
tremely tenacious, and without elasticity or
much fexibility +; may be melted and cooled
any number of times without injury for furth-
er manufacture is not injured by coming in
contact with grease or other fatty substances
reSists the action of sulphuric, muriatic, and
nearly every other acid is non-conductor
of electricity, as well as of heat and cold
When exposed to boiling water it contra, is
and becomes soft like dough, when it may be
moulded into any desirable shape, which it
will retain when cool has all exceedingly fine
oily grain, and is not an absorbent, but per-
feet repellant of water
India Rubber, or Caoutchouc, is produced
from milk white sap, taken chiefly from the
SGphoca Cahuca tree, which sooa cOagulates
when the whey is pressed out, or dried off by
heat-the residue is the India Rubber of com.
merce. 1t is of 4 soft gummy nature, not
very tenacious and astonishingly elastic
When reduced to a liquid bv heat it appears
like tar, and is unfit for further manufacture
BY coming in contact with grease or other fat
ty substances it is soon decomposed, and ruin
ed for further use If brought in contact with
suphuric, muriatic, and other acids it soon
chars it. 1t is a conductor of heat, cold and
electricity exposed TO the action of boiling
water does not lose its elastic properties, in
creases in bulk and cannot be moulded is
not perfect repelant of water, but more OF
less absorbent
The term "vulcanized is applied to fabrics
of Gutta Percha or India Rubber, which have
been cured or tanned, by submitting them to
high degree of artificial heat the object
being to change the nature of the gum, SO it
will not afterward be affected by heat and cold
Gutta Percha is vulcanized for the purpose
of giving it elasticity and pliabity, and is Ell,
trely free from unpleasant odor will not de-
compose and become sticky under any circum
stances. When exposed to friction it wears
away dry is still a non-conductor, and by
vulcanization is not injured in its iucompara'
BILE repellant properties.
India Rubber is vulcanzed to reduce its
elasticity, and give it more frmness than is
natural to the crude material.

THE LITTLE FELLOW.

Some have thought that in the dawning
In our beings freshest glow,
God is nearer little children
Than their parents ever know;
And that, if you listen sharply,
Better things than you can teach,
And a sort of mystic wisdom,
Trickles through their careless speech.
How it is I cannot answer
But know little child,
Who, among the thyme and clover,
And the bees, was running wild;
And he came, one summer evening
With his ringlets DER his eyes,
And his hat was torn in pieces,
Chasing bees and butterflies.
Now I'll go to bed, dear mother,
For I'm very tired of play"
And he said his Now lay me-"
In kind and careless way.
And he drank the cooling water,
From his little silver cup,
And said, gaily: When it's morning,
VIII the angels take me up?'
Down he sank, with roguish laughter,
In his little trundlebed,
And the kindly god of slumber
Showered the poppies DER his head.
" What could mean his speaking strangely Z"
Asked his musing mother then
" oh twas nothing but his prattle
What could he OF angels ken Z"
There he lies-how sweet and placid
And his breathing comes and goes
QLike a zephyr. moving softly,
And his cheek is like rose,
But she leaned her ear to listen,
If bis breathing could be heard
" Oh y" she murmured, " if the angels
Took my darling at his word! ~

ELECTRICITY IN CArS-The extraordinary
electrical character of the cat is well known
On cold bright day, if cat be stroked, the
hairs Of the tnr bristIe and electrical sparks
issue therefrom, accompanied with a slight
cracking. l. appears too ;hat the animal
may be 50 Surcharged with electricity that
it will give Il severe shock to the holder. In
order to obtain this result, the cat should be
placed on the knees and one hand applied to
its breast while the other is employed in
stroking its fur. Cracking and SparkleS soon
make their appearance, and in short time, if
the party continues to stroke the animal, he
will receive sharp electrical shock that may
he felt above the wrists. The cat seems TO
suffer as much as the eXpcrimenter, for on
giving forth the shock she springs to the ground
in terror and seldom will permit repetition
Of the same process.

MAILEABlE IRoN.-Malleable iron is trade
name given, not to pure iron, for that is al
ways malleable, but to articles made Of cast
iron which have been subjected to a certain
process, after being cast into their particular
forms, which shall reduce or take away por
ton of the carbon which they contain, and
they consequently become less brittle, or, in
other words more tough than cast iron, and
of course, less liable to break by the wear and
conclusion when used. The term malIeable
iron, however, is not very appropriate for it
is well known that this is not very malleable
and can bear no comparison with iron in its
pure state, for that valuable property. 1t
would be more appropriate to call 1t bastard
steel, which it in fact is, rather than malleable
iron.
The best of steel is made by combining pure
iron with carbon The rods of iron are kept
in contact with heated or burning charcoal a
certain length of time, when it is found that
there has become union of carbon with the
iron, and steel is the result If it be desira-
BILE to have O more uniform blending of the
iron and carbon it is broken up and melted in
crucibles, and from this made into roaS and
hence called least steel" 1t would seem,
that, if cast iron is a combination of iron and
carbon, in a greater proportion of carbon than
required for steel, if it should be subjected to
some process that should reduce the carbon TO
the true proportions, genuine steel might thus
be produced 1t would be thus produced if
the metal when reduced from the ore were
nothing but iron and carbon. Malleable iron,
as stated above is thus produced, and true
steel would be the result, were it not for i'm
purties in the iron, derived from the ore when
melted.

fThere said be flower the prares Of Texa
which travellers call The Compass Flower because It's Law
petals always point due NORTH and thus direct them on The
iourneyG
BEHOLD the Compass Flower little flower,
Which starts up in the praries, like a thought
OF beauty in some wasted bosom wrought;
And cheers the traveller in his dreariest hour.
For it directs him on his devious way,
Even as the needle doth the sailor, toet
On landless pillows, desolate and lost.
With not a star to lend its guiding ray.
Pointing due north, its leaves and petals show
Where lie the undiscovered realms, and where
The icebergs lift their pinnacles in air,
From deep foundations Of eternal snow.
Pointing to where the Arctic circle keeps
bs awful secrets locked in pierceless gloom,
And Franklin, the explorer, in his tomb
OF Frost Interchangeable forever, sleeps.
Pointing TO that last utmost verge, around
The role wherein the solid planet turns,
And, all undimmed, the Boreal splendor burns
Out Of the darkness of that vast profound.
Thou extreme North what is the force that draws
Toward thee alike the needle and this fiowerl
What il that wierd, inexplicable power
OF such mute marvel, what the wondrous cause
Thus, az the traveller bis path pursues
Lonely, across the Texan wilderness,
Such musings may his idle mind possess,
As the small Compass Flower he gladly views
Bnghiening the desert, as the swinging light,
SGT here and there upon wave-borDe buoy,
Inspires the coastwite pilots heart with Joy
When he surveys II through the murky night
How small thing, and yet how great deedT
Like many blessing which our God bestows,
From the sweet scent and glory Of the rose
To the strange virtue in bomely weed.
