DO you rcmcmber that visitors To the
great Exhibition Of 1853 were aston
lsncu TO see pump lit water, steam
pun hlsslng,; aud boil soap without
coat:9r fro; only by sunbcams? Mons.
Mouchot's "So1aF Receiver" which
did all these wonders, has been so i'm.
proved that il really scen1s to have. be-
como of practical Use.'1 Mons. Mon
cllot's apparatus consisted Of q brass
shade, like lamp shndc,. plated with
silver, With its largest opening turned
toward tho sun. Imtlc centre OF thc
shade AMI in its axis w1s the receiver
TO be heated. The receiver ,qcs.- coat-
cd with black paiHt or lamp black
(biack Isl great absorbcr Of hcat),
ana all around it a glass screen to
prevent tl'c cscHpc Of the 'prisoncd
heat. Mons. Pifrc has changed some
what Mons. Mouchot's apparatus.
The latter gave thc sides of his rctlGc.
tor an inclination Of l5 degrees. Tho
former gives them some tliing of the
nnraDollc shape, makes tho boiler less
high by half, and SO shnis all loss by
,radlation; he throws the sunbcams on
Tie lower part Of the boiler, which
arrangement secures the regular pro-
dnction OF steam; lie changes the
mechanism Which keeps the APPARATUS
constantly cNposcdio thc sun: he bns
Invented y new motive power and

TIE USE OF CONDIMENrs..--ThcG Go,f.
cral definition Of this word is, "a Eun-
gent and appchzing substance, as pcp-
per or mustard seasoning. Somcthino
used to give relish to food and to orati,
~ the taste" 10 the question, why
do yon use pepper on yout. toml? Vol,
reply, because You relish the tastioc {
the pepper. ~ little thought will, per-
haps, convince YOU that YOU misfol,c q
ITS use. Is it not more probable that
the addition Of condiments brings out
the flavor Of the article of food on
which it is placed. AS a general thin~
pepper and mustard arc not%uscd on
tNuts. Carrying out this view. con
dlmcnts are used simply to bring out
fully the latent favor or the dishe thcv
could WITH equal propricty be used OH
fruit. This is, in iact tie case no
convince yoursclfof% this, use pepper
on strawberries; and you. will findin
mem Il flavor more delicious than YOU
horesever experienced before. You
VIII further discover that in this case
its taste.
The nsc'of salt Is as improperly un-
dcrstoou. 1T is natural prescrvatiyd
when applied to animal substances:
ihcacid inthc salt beng thc prcscrva-
tlVc element. When used with vc9e-
Table food, but not in such quantities.
as to cause n salty taste, II is great i'm
provemcnt. In boiii,.ss corn or oat-
meal without adding a. little salt at first
will cause it to have bitteri if not un-
pleasant taste. The addition of salt
removes this rank taste and gives the
appearance Of smoothnoss. This is
caused by the chemical action of the
acid in The salt on the fhrina of,starch.
we use pepper and mustard On food
for tho purpose Of bringing out the
flavor Of tho article OH which il is
placed. So with salt. "A gootKtcst of
