At the recent meeting in Edinburgh of
the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science the conversation Oh me-
chanical science is thus reported by the
correspondent Of the Tribune:
Prof. Jenkin urges (as England has begun
everywhere to urge the technical training
of artisans, and az education that shall put
them on a level with their continental COM
Detitnrs. Papers full OF instruction were
read by Mr.. r. D. Morrison on the warm
| inc and ventilation of buildings by Mr..
r. w. Thomson on road steamers, which
| ne considered bad arrived at q considerable
deyree of perfection. The subject is one Of
| such special interest that may quote a
brief account of what was said:
In the outset the paper alluded to the
| Importance of road steamers, and the dlfn-
cuities which had been encountered in ar
irving at the present stage OF pertectl0n
with these. machines. A uniformity in the
working Of the engine having been reached.
? thick carpet OF india-rubber for the tires
of the wheels was introduced, which much
imuroyed the running on roads. These
lndia.rubber tires not only completely pre-
vented hard shocks to the machinery, but
saved the road from the grinding action OF
the iron wheels, which was so injurious to
by-ways. There had been serious ob-
jections made to the use of these en-
zines by the people interested in the
! ,heIn that the India-rub6Cr tires ac-
tually improved the roads. The paper
went on TO refer to rigid tires as used for
| road steamers, and stated that the amount
of adhesion obtained by this kind OF tire
was much less than by the India.rubber
kind. The latter kind took q firm hold Of
he road, Whatever might be the nature of
the suffice. The only ground upon which
.ndia.rubber tires did not work we'll was
where the soil was extremely wet or OF
very soft nature. For teamwork the
wheels Of the engine required much
thicker coat of Inda-rubber. The paper
afterward alluded to the competition with
traction engines ut the Royal Agricultural
show ut Wolverhampton.
Mr.. Smith, Liverpool, said he believed
that next TO railway engineering there was

A NOVELTY IN THE MARKET PROBLEM
Arr1yal of Fresh Texas Meat by Sea at
Phtladclphia.-The Philadelphia Record of
Thursday last had the following account of
an interesting event: 49,.
1.-THE arrival of the steamship Fire Fly
at this port yesterday morning with cargo
of fresh beef from Eockp0rt, Texas, Is an
event Of more th1n ordinary interest to the
entire community, and especially to the
many workingmen Of this city, to many OF
whom fresh meat is high priced luxury
| rarely INDUCED in. This is the first attempt
to convince our citizens OF the value OF q
Irecently-invented method Of preserving an
| imal aud vegetable substances for any length
of time: In July, 1869, the steamer Agnes
arrived at New Orleans with the hrSt cargo
OF meat thus preserved. It was then tried
simply as an experiment, but succeeded so
admirably that the Fire Fly was fitted up
| for the purpose, and used to to transport
| many thousand pounds of beef from Texas
/ to New Orleans. ....
In the summer of 1870 the Fire Fly ran
| regular trips from ROckport to New IT,
| leans, and the meat carried by it seems to
have been in every way satisfactory, ]uos-
| ing by the laudatory notices OF the press.
| 1t was in the employ Of the Omitted States
and West India Fresh Meat and Fruit
COMPANY, which made no effort to carry its
operations further north until the practice.
bility of the invention was fully esta blished.
| The beef was carried safely, and, at the end
of the journey, was deposited IN ware
house, where the same process was usea 10
preserve it, and where it was readily sold
at a fair profit.
MessrS. Henry Denison d Co. were the
first to employ the Fire Fly to bring cargo
of beet to this market. Two hundred and
fifty cattle were dressed at Rockport and
placed in the hold of the vessel, which
sailed for Philadelphia on the 3lst of July.
AS already stated, the beef arrived here
Yesterday, and it may now be seen at the
perfect State of preservation. There is NO
smeIl of putridity about is; on the con;
trary, it seems to be fresh, moist, and in all
respects like the best beef to be found LII
our markets."
