The Discovery of Porcelain

In the third century B. c.. in the
early days of the Hans, art in the
shape of glaze came to the rescue
and DIRE eyed pottery out of the men,
ial grayness in which it had remain
cd so long. Whether glaze was newly
invented in China or copied from
western models it is impossible to
say. 1t certainly had been in use
in both Egypt and Assyria for CEN
turtles, and it is known that in the
Han period, practically during the
reign Of Wu-ti Q4O-1S7 B.G), the
Chinese succeeded in getting in
touch with their western neighbors.
Anyhow, whether derived from Per-
STA or discovered independently,
glaze became part and parcel of the
Chinese pOtters outfit.
1t had fallen into skilfui hands,
which made of it a thing ofSinfinite
beauty. Into the unctuous fluid the
potters dipped and redipped. the yes
sells. They splashed it on, they blew
IT on. they poured it on, ladled it on
lavlshly like clotted cream, and in
the kiln it would stream round the
vases in a rush of burning lava,
sizzle in a thousand bubbles on the
surface, stagnate in rich pools in
every hollow. coagulate in heavy
beads about the edges, sweep round
the handles and the spout in streaks
and eddies wherein every shade of
green, amber and brown and, as the
Chlnese grew in art, of blue and
crimson. was whirled and drowned.
to be born again in another fiercer.
flerier glow. For the Chinese raised
the heat in their furnaces to a much
higher temperature than any other
potters dared to use. Consequently,
both the body and the glaze of their
wares developed a degree Of hard
ness, homOgeneity and luster unat-
tanned elsewhere. Sometimes the
color demonstrations of these won
derful glazes were so novel and I'M
expected that terror seized upon the
WOrkmen. Some fancied their pro-
tectlng spirit, the God of the Fur
mace, had gone mad, and they fled
lest his magic should sweep them
also into the vortex of his domoniac
power. Some even destroyed the
freak vessels and the kilns in which
they had been born. But a few
Drawer than the average, watched
and noted the uncanny accidents
that happened to their vessels in the
Kiln. and finally. through years Of
observations, experiments, failures
and successes. discovered the secret

Origin Of Coal

Professor Percy Kendall, in his
presidential address to the Section OF
Geology, said that the time had now
come when an attempt might be
made to provide an answer to some
of the geological problems relating to
coal. The origin of the coal beds
which formed so large part OF the
wealth of England had been dis
cussed in innumerable papers and
memoirs, but the doctors still differed
in their conclusions. True coal-seams
as distinguished from camel, were
characterized by certain definite
facts. They were of wide extent,
showed uniformity of thickness and
character over extensive areas, were
very free from admixture with min
eral detrituS.- contained seat
earth" or rOotlet bed, and showed no
remains of aquatic animals within the
seam.
The inference must be that in the
main they were formed by the
growth. death and accumulation on
the spot of plant tissues after the
general manner of beds of peat. Then
followed the question as to what
type of modern peatgrowth most
nearly represented the conditions of
the old peat areas; were they up
land or lOWlanQ peatS: were tney wet
or dry? In bis opinion there was
convincing evidence Of a lowland
area undergoing intermittent de-
preston such as would bring in, at
one time. the muds and sands of al
luvial drainage, and at another time
even the sea. The picture presented
itself of vast peat-bog co-extensive
with not merely the coal seam as it
now exists, but with it's much greater
extent before denudation had clipped
it's edges, or had cut it into several
detached areas.
At some period subsequent to the
last Ice Age the whole of the British
Isles stood relatively to the sea,
about so feet above its present level.
and this uplifted position affected in
a similar fashion Holland. Belgium.
and much Of France. Tho southern

half of the North Sea was then a vast
plain SO nearly at the sea level that
1t had become mOrass. Round its
margin were forests of oak, pine and
birch, while the greater part of the
area furnished the conditions neces-
sary for a peat-swamp. Under fav-
Orable conditions of the tide, peat
beds, sometimes with frayed stumps
of trees in the position of growth.
might be seen below high water
mark, and in the city of Hull itself
forest beds were exposed when deep
cuttings were made. In Holland the
peat beds were also present, and in
the excavation for docks at Antwerp
a peat bed had been found overlaid
by a deposit with estuarine shells.
The trawlers who raked every square
mile of the floor of the North Sea
found their operations impeded in
places by masses of peat.

PrckIy Pear Juice for Gasoline
A new motor spirit made from
prickly pear juice mixed with other
chemicals has proved so successful IN
tests, according to report to the
Department of Commerce. That a
company with 6 100000 capital has
been organized to exploit it. The new
product was invented by A. c. De
Villicrs. a lawyer in the Orange Free
State, and the formula is a secret.
The spirit has been tested on var
ious makes of cars and is said to be
cuual to or better than gasoline in
power and flexibility, mileage OF
ga being obtained in a siX-cylinder
car. The cost of production is sad
to be pence per gallon. and 1t is
figured the retail price will be about
half that of gasoline. All the ingred-
tents are obtainable in ineXh2ustible
supplies in South Africa. The prick
Nv pear grows wild in many parts OF
the country and in fact his become a
pest, devastating thousands of acres
