New Outline Maps.

Professor Hart, of Harvard university, has
prepared new map of the United States
which is different from any other. 1t is to
be hoped, also, that it is better than those
already in existence. Professor Harris map
seems to point toward more scientific instruc-
ton in geography. 1t is in four sections,
each thirty-one by forty-four inches, the
United States being divided at the thirty
seventh parallel and at the ninety-ffth merid-
ian. Being in outline, and showing the prin-
cipal water courses, a skillful teacher can,
without any great ability as draughtsman
color the map SO as to present in graphic
form geological facts or the course of politi-
cal and social development. Changes of
population, the local strength of political
parties, the distribution of railways, schools
or industrial establishments, typographical
features--in short, anything which admits of
statistical and graphic presentation-ca be
shown with a minimum of expense and
labor. Fhe map is SO cheap that teacher
can easily procure number of them; and,
when once colored to illustrate any particu-
lar subject, they can be rolled up and used
again at any future time.

/, Mineral Wool.

Mineral WOOL" originally discovered at
Sterling, N. Y, is now being manufactured
in considerable quantities for commercial
purposes at Stanhope, in Sussex county, N.
J. This Is produced from what is known as
"slag," formerly considered as worthless,
until by accident, resulting from the dis
charge of water from a hose pipe, as it was
being drawn in molten state from the fur
nance, it was found that the hard substance
Of the "slag" was readily disintegrated from
the mass and whipped into feathery sub
stance that arose into the air as rapidly as it
was being eliminated from one of the hardest
and most brittle substances known in chemis-
try by the simple action of the vapor con-
tanned in the water. The philosophy of this
is, that any two substances, of an opposite
nature, by combining together, unite to pro-
duce an entirely new product from the de-
composing parts. How this is accomplished
is one of the great mysteries of nature as yet
unaccounted for. Yet the result is not more
remarkable than the product of celluloid so
largely used in jewelry, from a union of gun
cotton and camphor, and of hundred other
forms as yet not fully susceptible of explana-
ton.
