The mamma Is one OF the smaller

Kangaroos are queer beasts and

New Hard Porcelain.

WITHIN the past year or so there
has been devised a new type of
hard porcelain that possesses two
important advantages. The expert
menters, working at the Central
School of Science and Technology at
Stoke-onTrent England. have evolv-
ed a hard porcelain made entirely of
English material and have compound
ed body that will "poy" like ordi-
nary earthenwa<e.
The body of the porcelain is as
cheap or cheaper than ordinary earth
enware. The glaze Qeadless) is about
one-tenth the price of earthenware
glaze. Particular satisfaction is ex-
pressed with the glaze. which, when
fired under suitable conditions, seems
equal to anything yet marketed. The
firing margin is very large. The oven
which was built for experiments has
proved great success and there is
no reason why a development of this
oven might not be used in the pro-
duction of ordinary earthenware
Little difficulty was experienced
with fire clays, since there are many
suitable ciays OF this nature in the
country. The saggers used have stood
remarkably well; in fact, not more
than two or three saggers were lost
in over twenty firings to tempera-
lures ranging from Cone No. 10 to
Cone No. 16.
The ware produced is capable of be-
ing successfully decorated with ordi-
nary coiors. People acquainted with
hard porcelain know that this is not
possible with some types. The firing
of the new porcelain is the point that
will be regarded most seriously. The
ware can be fred in either oxidizing
or reducing atmosphere, but the
best results are obtained by the re-
ducing method. which will involve
important notifications in the firing
practice now otaining.
Many. interesting problems in con-
nection with the firing have arisen
and much work has yet to be done.
At present the experiments are cen
tered on faults in manufacture so
that the more probable sources Of
difficulties and losses will be known.
The examination of these is necessar-
lily slow, as 1t is not possible to fire
oftener than once a week If they
are to fire under ordinary manufac-
turing conditions.

Electrical Transmission.
THE worldwide renown OF Niaga

THE world wide renown OF Niasar1
l. Falls has lent a peculiar distinc-
tion to the great electric plants in
stalled there. but in so far as the
Niagara plants are long distance
ones the work being done there has
been surpassed in several instances.
both in the distance covered and in
the amount of power transmitted.
Many of the greatest electric plants
are among the Rocky mountains and
on the Pacific coast. At Fresno, in
California, a reservoir on the brow
of a nearby mountain supplies the
heaviest head of water used for such
purpose. 400 feet-and the power
is distributed over a distance of
thirty-five miles. In some of the
western installations the water,
after serving its purpose in generat-
ing electric power. is utilized for ir-
rigating land.
