The reason assigned for the repeal

PRINTING osE THOUSAND WEARS

An extraordinary discovery has been
made of a press in India. When War
ren Hastings was Governor-General
of India, he observed that in the dis
trict of Benares, little below the
surface of the earth, is to be found
stratum of kind of fibrous woolly
substance of various thicknesses, in
horizontal layers. Major Roebuck, in
formed of this, went out to spot
where an.exeavation had been made
displaying this most singular phenom-
enon. In digging somewhat deeper
for the purpose of further research,
they laid open vault, which on fur
ther examination proved to be of some
size, and to their astonishment they
found kind of printing press set up
in vault, and on it movable types
placed as if ready for printing. Eve
ry enquiry was set ON foot to ascertain
the probable period at which such an
instrument could have been placed
there, for it was evidently not of mod
ern origin, and from all the major
could collect, itappeared probable that
the press had remained in the state in
which it was found for at least one
thousand Years. We believe the wor-
thy major, on his return to England,
presented one of the learned associa-
tions with a memoir containing many
curious speculations on the subject
Paper we know to have been manufac-
tured in the East many centuries be-
fore we had any knowledge of it, and
we have many reasons to think that
the Chinese had beeh acquainted with.
the mode 6of printing they now en-
ploy, many years before Faust and
Guttenburg invented it in Europe. 1t
certainly does no credit to the inven-
tive genius of the Romans, to know
that, while they approached so near
as to engrave in style not to be
equalled in the present age on gems
and stones, and of course the taking
of impressions of them, they should
have remained ignorant of the art
which has bestowed SO many blessings
ON mankind.

VILLAINY NYMYINEGAR-

The Scientific American, cautions
the public against the use of adulterat-
ed vinegar. The heavy Government
tax on alcohol has raised the price SO
much that resort is had to a cheaper
substance to give the required acidity
to vinegar. For this purpose, sulphur
ric, nitric, and hydrocloric acids are
all used; though sulphuric acid, as the
cheapest and sourest that can be found,
is chiefly used. This, however, is very
destructive to pickles and whatever is
placed in it for preservation, and very
injurious to the health of those who
use the vinegar made of it. A gallon
of the stuff called vinegar can be made
for cent or two from sulphuric
acid and water, with some coloring
matter. To detect the presence of the
sulphuric acid, take small quantity
of the vinegar in clear glass and drop
a few drops of the chloride of barlum
into it, OF, the nitrate of baryta. If the
liquid presents cloudy appearance,
there is sulphuric. acid in it, and it
should all be returned to the manufac-
turer or turned into the gutter.
