Enameled Cooking Vessels.

Cast iron cooking vessels, coated on
the inside with a white porcelain or en-
amel, are now extensively used, and are
generally supposed to be as safe as they
are convenient and cleanly. 1t has been
assumed that vegetable acids, which act
more or less energetically upon metallic
surfaces, do not affect this porcelain lin
ing, and that vessels protected by it may
therefore be used for cooking acid fruits,
preparing pickles, and kindred processes.
1t seems, however, that there may be
death in the poi" even when it is en-
ameled. A Scotch chemist, in a paper
recently read at Glasgow before the Soci-
ETY. of Public Analysts, states that some
kinds, at least, of this porcelain lining
are very readily acted upon by acid
fruits, common salt, and other substan-
ces used for food, and that thus large
quantities of lead and even arsenic are
dissolved out during culinary operations.
Analyses were given of three enamels
taken from cast iron pots made by as
many different manufacturers. All con-
tanned arsenic and two of them lead; but
it is not so much on account oil the pres
ence OF these substances that the enam
els are Objectionable, but because Of their
highly basic character, which renders
/ them peculiarly susceptible TO the action
of even feebly acid solutions. The per
centage of bases in the three enamel'
was 1888. 1918, and 55-2S. respectively
A one per cent solution Of eitric acid
boiled in the third. ronghenedsand des
troyed. the enamel at once dissolvinl
out enough lead to give dense black
precipitate with hvdrosulphuric acid
An enamel that will not bear so moderate
a test as a one per cent. solution OF citri'
acid is certainly not ft to be used TO
culinary purposes.
III the enamels employed in this coun
try are similar to those in Europe, a
they probably are, our readers should b
cautious in using vessels coated wit
them. We have not experimental upol
them as yet but may do SO and give tn
results at some future time.-CScientifi

A RIVER OF ISK-In Algeria there is a
river of genuine ink. 1t is formed by
the union of two streams, one coming
from a region of ferruginous soil, the
other draining peat swamp. The water
of the former is strongly impregnated
with iron, that of the latter with gallc
acid. When the two waters mingle the
acid of the one unites with the iron Of
the other, forming a true ink. We are
familiar with a stream called Black
Brook in the northern part of the State,
the inlxy color of whose water is evident
" due to like conditions.

And the robin carol his hearts desire

DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION.

The most extensive as well as pecuniarily dis
astrous fire that ever occurred in Honolulu or
elsewhere on these Islands, devastated the lower
or esplanade part of this city on the night of
Tuesday last, December 18th. In proportion to
the size of Honolulu and the property destroyed,
it may with p~ropriety be compared to the great
Chicago fire, although fortunately there is lack
ing here the elements of personal restitution and
physical suffering which characterized the Chi
cago affair. The FIRE of Tuesday night was first
discovered at about 9 O'Clock by persons in
attendance upon Mr.. Adams evening sale, APP
parently just beginning to blaze up in the yard
at the rear of the 6re-proof building occupied by
that gentleman and Messrs. Green, Macfarlane &
Co. Its origin is and will probably always re-
main a mystery, although theories are of course
rife about cigars c~arelessly thrown among straw,
etc. 1t is quite possible that it may have been
the work of an incendiary. However, on the cry
of fire being raised in the crowded auction room,
something like a panic ensued, a rush being
made for the doors, and one or two ladies tainted.
Meantime several parties had run out into the
yard with the intention of stamping out the
incipient confagration, but in a surprisingly
short time the flames spread in every direction,
SO that these persons had to beat a hasty retreat.
The cry of /" fire )" was then raised on the street,
and the alarm was struck from the Station House
bell, followed soon after by the bell on the tower
OF the Fire Department. The different COM
panies of the Department were promptly out and
got on the ground without delay; but in the
meantime the fire, with wonderful rapidity, had
spread to the adjoining wooden buildings, and
before the engines could get to work the flames
were mounting high and lighting up the scene
with a fearful radiance. The wind, which was
from the northeast, was blowing a furious gale,
and it soon became evident that an extensive
confagratiOn was imminent. The fremen work
ed like heroes, but the ~indammable nature of the
buildings and the furious wind rendered all their
efforts perfectly futile to save property. The
fre-fend marched Oh, laughing at mans puny
efforts to stay his progress, and only ceased his

We regret 10 have To chronicle this week the disastrous fire
ofTue-dav night last whereby our fair city presents a blank
and desolate business front. from which, in the course Of a fe"
hours, property Of over s25O,oO0 value was swept away and
the hard earned Iabors OF years Of toll snatched from men who
were Just getting their business into good working shape
Particulars Of this are given elsewhere in our columns show
ing the number Of sufz rers and the amount Of losses Of each;
but while we have 50 much Of an immediate loss, It Is easy 10
understand the Inconvenience and delay, and consequent H.
creased expense in procuring supplies needed for the Plsnta-
lions, such as Kegs, Barrels, Goals, Machinery, Lumber &C.
besides the Incidental delays for want Of proper and sufficient
wharf accommodation and storage. Besides the loss Of the
Keg Factory. Machine Shop and Rice Mill Of Mr. Hopper We
learn that $4,000 worth of Paddy, which was purchased last
week, shared the same fate with a quantity Of Coffee, sugar
Wool, &c, belonging to different parties, stored in the Govern
ment Warehouse. Mr. Bruins also loses, together with all his
Tools, a large and valuable stock recently purchased, a small
portion only Of which was saved.

at once on the instructions given them several months since to
look into this matter and report.
