The first operation is the choosing of the mate
riais. These are feldspar, silica and clay, all Of
which are found in great abundance in various
rious metallic oxides TO produce any shade OF color
desired. The feldspar, clay. &c. are ground to
an inpaipable powder under water, dried and
made into paste That composing the body of
the tooth of different materials to that composing
the base or enamel The teeth made in brass
moulds, and this is quite delicate process. The
enamel Is hrst put iii PLACE with small steel spa
tula the plantinum Iivets. By which the teeth
are fastened to the plate, are placed in the posi-
ton, and then fhe body is pressed into the mould
They are then submitted to powerful pressure and
dried After being dried they submitted ID
process called hiscuting. in which state they can
be cut like chalk. They are then sent to the
up all depressions which may have been left in
the operation of moulding. and then wash them
with what is technically termed enamel. This is
composed of various substances. more fusble than
