New Southern Industries.

a great many new industries have
sprung up sincrc the war, which were
formerly deemed impracticablc. The
Sundays T'imcs-D Democrat contains Il
cngtl y account OF new factory which
has just sprung mp in New Orleans,
not only new TO the South but 10 the
North, and that l. the successful man
u.acturc Of porcelain ware. The fac
tory was started several years ago ,bnt
failed 10 prove Il success, but under
the supervision of the new managers
Mcssrs. Hernandez and Scloy, who
seem To understand their business,
and finer work i, being turned ont
than even mt Limoges, France, noted
for porcelain ware.
As a great many persons, when thcy
have line porcelain plate bcforGthcm,
would like To know the mode OF man
uracturing. we give IT H. briefly con-
dcnscd from the Timcs-Dcmocrat.
The factory in New Orleans has a
brick baking oven, ij feet high. and
% feet in diameter, with capacity
for four thousand plates. Kaoiin Is
first thorough! washed large tubs, IN
order that the substance may be free
from every particle of grit, which Is
highly injurious, and when taken out
resembles plaster of Paris. II is then
placed into thoroughly woven bags,
which are tightly TIED and carried To n
press and submitted 10 heavy press
Iirc. The substance j. then placed
upon Il table with corrugated rollers,
and thoroughly kncadcd into dough.
After Going through another process
OF kncading. il j. carried To the pot
tcr'S wheel with slight notifications.
|; i the same kind of wheel used 10y
the ancient Egyptians, and mentioned
i'm the Bible. The clay is fashioned
by expert hands into plates, pitchers
or whatever il desired, and afterwards
placed into Il vessel, called Sag
ger. - and then carried 10 the oven ,
where the substance is baked for 30
hours, 10 give il the proper gloss and
hardness, and afterwards dipped INTO
n solution OF ,ilicatc and again baked.
Thi, j. tic short procc,s Of manutlct-
uring ceramics or porcelain ware,
which heretofore was thought impos-
siblc tO manufactures even in the tni-
ted States: but at the Exposition rs
fine porcelain ware was exhibited,
manufactured in the United States, ~
that bought from tie celebrated fac.
tories al Europe.
In the factory at New Orleans, the
most skilled workmcn from France
have hccn employed, and the kaoiin
is said TO bc superior io that of the old
world. We had Il sample from near
Faycttc, in this State, where they LAY
are large quantities, unlwc have seen
sample, from TcNi', where super
abundance of the finest material i
found. This is one ot the new in
dustric, which tie South can well bc
proud of, and the day i not far dis
tan, when we will not only bc the
most successful produccri. but thc
greatest manufacturers, in the world.
