PREVENTING ESCAPE OF HEAT.

Experiments have been made In
France to ascertain what kind Of coat
ing best prevents the escape Of heat
from steam.pipes. After numerous
trials it was found that chopped straw
was the best, and that it reduced the
loss Of heat by radiation from the
bare pipes sixtyssix per cent. The
next best way Is q pottery pipe large
enough to cover the steam-pipe and
leave an air space; the pottery was
coated on the outside with. loamy
earth and chopped straw, kept in place
by straw bands twisted round the pipe:
This reduced the loss sixty-one per
cent. The next was cotton-wasta,
which, wrapped round the steam-pipe
to an inch thick, reduced the loss fifty
one per cent. The next was waste felt
from printing machines, under which
the reduction was forty-eisht per
cent, and the last was -forty-fve per
cent. with a plaster made Of cows hair
and clay. Experiments made with q
view to test the effect Of color showed
that the coatings when painted white
reduced the loss o further seven per
cent.

OLD INKS.

Mr.. Tichborne, F. C. S. has thought y
worth while to examine the printing-inks
of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
with a view to discover the kind best
suited for printing books or works OF art
which are to be long preserved. The ink
at present in use, he says consists Of car
bon in d fine state Of division, ground UP
with a'mixture Of oils, soaps. and a sub
stance called printers varnish, which in
all good printing-ink is insded-oil,speciallJ
prepared. II is by means or this oiL'when
properly prepared, thatthe ink or pigment
adheres firmly to the paper: Mr.. Itch
borne has examined specimens printed /
different parts of Europe, and finds "thas
the older pripting-inis are more easily
eaponitied and washed off by alkalies,than
those of the last century. In their general
character" he remarks, "they agree; as
carbon seems to have been the basis OF
pr~inting-ink from the time Of Johann
Faust, and for this reason printed matter
will bear the action of acid oxidisers, or
bleachers with impunity; but many, If not
all, the printing-inks of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries are more or less sensl-
tive to the action Of alkalies. Some are
go extremely sensitive, that on introduce
uc them to a weak solution OF ammonia,
the characters instantly tloat off the sur
face of the paper, although they may have
previously withstood the "c;ioa Of apow-
errul acid bleaching bath. The only ex-
PLANTATION I can offer is, that the oils used
rs vehicles were not formerly submitted
to the boiling process which,, IN the
modern inks. has thoroughly resinihed
