ORIENTAL CONTRASTS.
Identity of terms applied to the necessaries
of life, and similarity Of the rude implements
by which the simple operations Of industry are
performed. show that the art of craftsmen had
reached certain excellence before the Euro
pean parted company with the natives OF In
dia. But by neither of these clews can any
connection be traced between China and other
lands. The language, even in its simplest
roots, has no analogy /; and the implements OF
industry have characteristic forms which show
that in the earliest period OF her existence
China drew nothing from other peoples. What
she required, she originated !; she initiated
nothing, as the following facts clearly indicate.
The anvil Of the Chinese smith is not nat,
like the anvil of other countries, but convex
on it's upper or working surface and the Dei-
lows of q Chinese forge, instead OF working
vertically, has horizontal stroke. The paper
of the Chinese is thin and weak /; it Is printed
on one side only, but doubled to present
folded edge at the rim Of the leaf, and print
ed surface on either side, The chain pump OF
China has square barrel but that Of other
countries is cylindrical Brass is made else
where by melting together copper and zinc in
crucible in China, by suspending thin
sheets Of copper, heated almost to melting, in
the vapor of molten zinc The German silver
of Europe is made by combining the materials
in their metallic condition; the Chinese equiv
alent by mangling the ores Of the metals, and
reducing them to produce the alloy. Spangles
are made not by cutting or stamping from
steel metal, but by fattening wire first bent
into annular form. Pewter vessels are not
cast, but are shaped by hamnering upon a
block. The primitive mill used in many coun-
tries for crushing apples for cider, for puiyer-
izing ores, and composed Of a wheel travelling
in groove or channel, has, among the west
ern nations, it's wheel running continuously
in certain track around a vertical axle; in
China it's wheel runs to and fro in horizontal
movement. Chinese lanterns are not made of
horn like those of the Romans, nor of perfo..
rated metal as long since in Europe, nor OF
glass as is now universal, but of vanished
paper stretched on bamboo frames, sometimes
of little cost for the multitude, sometimes of
great intrinsic worth and blazoned with titles
for the mandarins. The domestic industry OF
other lands has obtained the healthful acid OF
vinegar from the acetic fermentation of the
sweet Juice of fruits the Chinese by placing
in water the sea polypus found along the coasts.
The fish culture, so recently attracting the at
tention of the United States and other coun-
tries, is old in China but Chinese fish cultu-
rists put the spawn in an egg shell and place
it under Matching fowl, and, after due de-
Law break tha shell in water warmed by the sun.
