IMPROVEMENTS IN PORCELAIN

The American Journal of Indastru calls atten-
tion to discovery in the manufacture of china
ware and porcelain, which it believes will have
most important influence on the pottery trade
OF the United States, and in the end wrest from
foreign manufacturers the control of at least one
branch of that great industry. The discovery
relates to the fabrication of china and porceloin
and, If not brought about by pure accident. was
nearly 80. An American potter, in pursuing
his investigations in chemistry as related fO his
business, found incidental mention of martial
analysis OF material commonly found in this
country, and literally "as cheap as dirt,n some
of the qualities of which appeared to him to be
analogous to those necessary in the manufacture
of porcelain or china ware. He Immediately
set about more exhaustive investigation, and
the results finally reached were such as to as
tonish him. He found that he could not only
produce true porcelain with this hitherto un-
tried material, but ware with beauty and
strength equal to the besr known manufactures.
The glaze is as clear and almost as hard as a
diamond, giving the most brilliant effects.
The material is much more plastic and cOnse-
qucntly more easily and rapidly worked than
the ordinary porcelain and china body. The
discovery was kept quiet, and the nature OF
the new material is not likely to be diynlged, at
least for years TO come ; but we are at liberty
TO say, says The JourHal, that an extensive pot
terry Is to be built IL once whore porcelain Will
be the chief article Of manufacture.

DIRT AND BODILY HEAT.

The part which the skin plays in the. regnla-
tion of bodily heat, SAYS The Lancet. is not
adequately estimated. The envelope of compli-
Gated structure and vital function which covers
the body, and which nature has destined to per-
form a large share of the labor Of health pre-
serving is practically thrown out of use by our
habit Of lOading it with clothes. 1t is needless
to ccmplicate matters by allowing it TO be
chOked and encnmbered with dirt II the skin
of an animal be coated with an impcrylnus
varnish death must ensue. covering of dirt
is only less nimical to life. We are not now
speaking of dirt such as Ofcnds the sense Of
dccency, but of those accumuIatiOns of exuded
matter with which the skin must become
loaded if 1t is habitrally covered and not
thoroughly cleansed. The cold bath is not Il
cleansing agent. A man NAV b9the daily and
use his bath towel even roughly, but remain rs
dirty to all practical intcnts as though he es
chewed cleanliness; indeed the physical evil of
dirt is more likely to ensnc, because il wholly
neglected, the skin would cast off it's excrcmen-
titious matter by periodic perspiiations with
discrimination OF the cutirle Nothing but
frequent washing III water, OF at least equal
temDeraturc Wiri the skin, and soap can insure
Il free and healthy surface. The feet require
especial care, and it is too much the practice to
neglect them. The omission Of daily Wa>hings
with soap and TIE wearing OF foot coverings so
tight as to compress the bOcd-ycsscls and re-
tard the circulation OF the blood through the
eXtrcmitcs, are the most common causes of
cold feet. The remedy is obvious: dress loosely
and wa III frequently.

TENPrRATURE AND VEGETATION

At a late meeting of the Phi'adelph phii Acad-
emy of Sciences, Mr.. Thomas Meehan called nj
tentiOD TO the tact that although the past Winter
had been very mild, yet vegetation was not
any further advanced than usual. In exDlana-
tiOn, hr stated that the temperature Of The earth
seemed TO have little influence upon the att
vanccment OF vegetation, which probably de-
pended to much greater extent upon the IN
iuence of atmospheric warmth upon the grow
ing buds. The average temperature OF the past
Winter would, he believed be found to be as
low as, if not lower, than usual, although thG
absence of srvcrc sOIms had gwen II the milu
character noted. lt was well known that grape
vines planted outside of hOthOuscs are forced
in their growth by allowing the branches To De
subjected to tho heat of the interior Such
bIanches Will leaf and flower much earlier t9ah
those allowed To remain entirely In lower atr
mOspheric temperature, although the neat Oh
the soil be the same in each case. 1t han Dern
asserted that the trees in fields planted WIN
grass were not 20 forward in their growth az
those in adjoining fields the surface OI which
were not 50 protected. This he believed TO DC
owing 10 the fact that in the one case inc h.aI
Is absorbed in Il great measure by the Vegela-
t,On surrounding the trees, while III the Olhcr IL
is reflected from the bare soil so rs To exert

cabin cabin, to the Upper end of which is attOcheda
horizontal bar carrying two adjustable resona-
tors. Below there is n pointer set at right
angles with the above bar. Rubber tubes pass
with pair of ear tubes. A handle attached 10
the rod serves to turn it In any direction.
Armed with this instrument, Professor Morton
has made various experiments outside OF Sandy

turning until the least sound was perceived,
would bring the pointer to within ten degrees,
or less than one point of the true direction.
