Scientific Cookery.

There has been invented q new form o
heat conductor Tor cooking the interior
parts of FONTS OF meat, poultry or fish 81
simultaneously with the outer parts. Flesh
| is known to be very bad conductor o.
heat, therefore in all methods OF cooking
now in use if the interior parts are per
fectly cooked, the exterior parts are found
to be much overdone, with corresponding
loss OF the nutritious juices of the flesh
The object of this invention is to provide
means by which the interior parts may be
cooking simultaneously with the outer
parts. This is effected by metallic con-
ductors which conduct the exterior heat to
the interior parts, and thereby produce a
great saving of fuel, time and food. be
sides which the Juices of the meat are con-
served SO that the cooked meat is much
more palatable and wholesome. The
forms of heat conductors that have been
found by experiment most effective tor
roasting and baking are pointed blades of
copper. upon which are fixed rather large
globular heads of malleable iron, which
conductors are now made The iron head
is left covered with its natural black
oxide, to be in the best state to absorb
heat. The blade is timed to make it
more wholesome when in contact with the
flesh. These conductors are inserted
through the thickest parts of the joint, the
head standing out an inch or so. In this
manner the head absorbs the surrounding
heat at the same rate as the exterior parts
of the joint, and as the copper blade is a
good conductor. it conveys this heat to the
interior part. For boiling, slightly
curved heads to the conductors are used.
which are timed all over Experiments
show that before brisk fire, in an oven,
or in boiling, that one-third of the time is
saved by the use OF these conductors,
with about 10 per cent less wasted of the
joint, with the best possible effect upon
the taste of the meat. and it is thought by
the inventor that the system is capable of
producing a great national economy.

responsibilities. ga Friendly Warn
ing" is directed to young Hawaiians,
in connection with The elevation of one
of them to the position of Attorney
General They are told, "You have
grand object before you which ought to
incite you to the utmost; to erect a
suitable monument to your late sover-
eign and friend the lamented Queen
Emma" There is continuation OF
"Our Pilgrimage" from the graphic pen
of Capt Luce, taking the reader over
some of the prettiest spots in England
In an article on "Friendly Societies, "
the editor speaks OF tine reirer senr ny
Excelsior Lodge, |. 0. 0. F., To

for past mercies been proclaimed, and
prayer for future blessings been offered
up throughout the land" The Church

in good measure, and there are educa-
tonal, miscellaneous and literary de-
partments, all containing edifying and
attractive matter. "a Hymn for the
