In repl y to this question, | would say,
that kaolin, (Which is the Chinese
name for porcelain c'ay,) has been
known from an early age, as very
refractory clay, consequently has been
selected for purposes that require very
high temperature In pottery it forms
a very important part of the material
used In the manufacture of the best
porcelain ware, and for this purpose
there is no other clay known that will
equal it,
For the manufacture of this kind OF
ware, however, there may not be an
immediate demand, inasmuch as there
is no ware of this kind made in this
country, and may not be for some time
to come, from the fact. that to make
this class of ware, it requires the very
best skilled labor, class of labor that
can be obtained only by an education
obtained in the work The manutact-
ure Of porcelain, or as it is more COM
monty called China ware is very
refined branch Of art, such as we sel-
dom find in new country.
1t is a satisfaction. however. to
know, that we have the material suitl-
bic for this purpose IN our own State,
and the time will doubtless come when
in Wisconsin a class Of porcelain, or
China ware, will be made from it. bv
