Science and Industry.

Western men propose to invest
$50, 900 at Augusta, Georgia, in facto-
ry for the manufacture of soap from
cOttOn-seed.
"A lifeboat has been invented which
balls itself, rights itself, can't upset,
rides like duck, can't sink, and can be
used as refrigerator when required.
The number of brewers engaged in
the United States in the manufacture OF
fermented liquors, during 1876, number
ed 5, 293, and they produced an aggre-
gate of 1900, 900 barrels of beer.
Thirteen counties in Northern
Texas which last year raised 1900, 900
bushels Of wheat will this year, it is
estimated, raise double that quantity,
which is now being harvested and made
ready for market.
Matthew Baird, of the Baldwin Lo-
connective Works, Paterson, N. j., en-
tered the shop as an apprentice and
staid there 80 years, retiring with ST.
coo, 900, to which ne had added about
S400, 900 more. He died recently, having
been married three times with heirs by
each wife. Not long ago he gave each
of his children 100000.
Mr.. Yates, of Manchester, England,
has invented horseshoe, composed Of
three thicknesses of cow-hide, compress
ed into steel mold, and then subjected
to a chemical preparation. 1t lasts
longer, and weighs only one-fourth as
much as the common shoe; it never
splits the hoof, and has no injurious in
fluence on the foot. 1t requires no calks !;
even on asphalt, the horse never slips
1t is so elastic that the horses step is
lighter and surer. 1t adheres so closely
to the foot that neither dust nor water
can penetrate between the shoe and the
hoof.
The divisibility of gold almost sur
passes belief. Mr. A. +. Outerbridge,
jr., of the Philadelphia Assay Office,
recently exhibited before the Franklin
Institute some thin films of gold obtain
ed by electric deposition upon copper
and afterward detached. These pieces
of gold-leaf were transparent, and gave
q green color to transmitted light. Mr..
Outerbridge has thus produced films OF
gold so thin that one grain of the metal
would cover nearly four square feet.
This is 10000 times thinner than or
binary writing paper; and 2,79S, 0OC
of such films together would make one
inch.
