New Use. fer vegetables.

In the Paris exhibition, il 10 said, there Will
be shown for the nrst time various articles
made Of Q sort Of artificial meerschapm and
imitation horn formed Of various vegetables.
To form the artificial meersehaum sound DO
tAtoes are taken and peeled, and then mace
rated in water acidnlated with eight per cent.
Of sulphurlc acid. The maceration IL contin-
ned for twenty -four or thirty-six nonrs. Tne
acid is then washed out by soaking the potato
repeatedly in fresh water. They should be
left in tlesh warter for six hours and this m ust
be renewed until potato cut asunder will not
redden liimus paper in the center IL will
low be seen that considerable disorganiza-
ton has taken place; the potatoes are whittier
and soft. They must now be wrapped in blot.
ting paper and carefully dried q nder warm
sand, or upon chalk or plaster OF Paris plates.
when dry, the potatoes will be fou nd TO have
shrunk 10 about half their original volume,
and IN external appearance they will exactly
resemble meerschaum, Oceasio pally, in spite
ofcareful washing and dr. ing there are spongy
places in consequence Ell their uneven con-
traction. 1t will then be necessary to COM
plete the drying by placing them between two
Trick plastertof Paris plates and using pressure.
In that instance, the absorbing plates must be
changed daily. As the structure of this arti-
hcial meerschaum Is much more dense than
the natural mineral, and lie, moreover, of veg
efaole origin, IL Is not well adapted for pipes;
but IL can be arved as delicately as real meer :
schaum, and since the vegetable fiber has q
strong affinity for cOlors, Ii will receive
semble coral, in appearance, color and form
and make good knife, umbrella or whip ham
dies. The inventor has given the name of cor.
alhgnln TO this substance. OF this m ateriaI,
too. beautiful red veneers for snuff hex tops
and such articles may be made.
