WTLLAMETTE FARMEP ffllSCELLflCOUs, Sound Castings. To obtain good and Bound castings, in all cases, and tinder all circumstances, is the chief engrossing care of nil founders. There are of course, many established rules and forms of procedure gathered from, the experience of many years, tbat generally serve the founder to a, sufficient extent to obtain good castings, as .a rnle, and to make " wasters" the exception. If thoroughly practical men were to add a precise knowledge of what may be supposed to bo taking place, in nnd out of the mold, the proportion of bad castings would be much re duced. It is not only the casting which -broken or blown in the molds cannot possibly be used, that ought to be Included under tne neaa of unsound castings. There ate, throughout the whole range of castings, delivered apparently sound and complete from the foundry, a con siderable portion in which it is only a question of time as to how long they will hold together. It is notorious that the greater proportion of break-downs in fly-wheels, castings in motion, or castings under pressure, are occasioned by some inherent defect or liability to break in the casting itself, since tho broken section is fre quently of much more than the rtquisito area to resist any possible strain that can bave oo. cored. These are the unsound castings of which we would warn both purchasers and producers. As to the unsoundness of castings produced by blow-holes or scum, this is usually patent tn the eve of the founder, at least, though not always to tbat of the customer, after being puttied up, and can be tested by the blows Of a small Hammer upon any Burmcu wuunu soundness may be suspected. The tendency to form blow holes is well un derstood among founders and may be caused in two ways : either by the imprisonment of the air originally contained in the mold, or by the generation of steam or gases from the sides of the mold and core. It is surprising how little power of reasoning from cause to effect there is as a rule among practical moo, to whom both the cause and the effect may bo perfectly plain and patent. Given a Citfle whoro a casting is produced covered in places with blow holos, the causes of the effects may be accurately defined. In the fll nlAne thoto blow holes are produced by the Presence 01 a gasoous uouy uiupmciuy lunwcuu 'here are then two possibilities oilher this gas is the legitimate air which has not been al lowed to escape, or it is a further accumulation of steam or gas generated from the mold ; neither of these possibilities should have existed. In the first place, any possiblo air pocket in the mold should be thoroughly ventilated by an es cape air holo, and whilst the metal is being poured at one runner, tho air should be allowed to escape elsewhere. In tho socond placo the mold and cores should bo so thoroughly dry an to prevent the formation of steam ; and further, their composition should bo bo carefully selected as to preclude tho employment of materials liable to burn or to generate much gas. The ventilation from the cores should bo especially looked to, sb they are generally found to be come damp after running the inotal, even when thoroughly dried. In the case of lurge castings a great deal depends ou the open and porous nature of the mold bod. If, then, the following points are always rig Idly looked to, there should bo little four i.t any time of a porous or air-blown resting. 1. That whilst tho metal is being poured at any rtinuor, there should be free egrehs for the iiuptisnned air through another exit. 2. That all pookets or high portions of the mold should have sepa rate additional air escape 3. That the mold and ocre be tboronchlv drv. to prevent the ev olution of steam as much as possiblo. 1. That the materials forming the mold and core- should be already burnt, so as not to give off gases with readiness on coutaot with tne molten rueuu. 5. That whero the casting is long and has a double surface, one above the other, an infinitely hotter casting may uioro readily bo obtained by casting the same with its longth considerably inclined from the horizontal, and pour on to the lower face first, or placed verticlly and run with a head. A very frequent cause of the gen eration of an exoossivo quantity of gas in a mold is tho mixture of too muoh coal dust and slack in tho mold, and Ubiug tho sand too wot for facility in molding. Iron. Goods for Exhibition. The Iron Age makes tbe report that a mow ing machine manufacturer intends to speed $10, 000 on a tingle machine, to be exhibited at tbe Centennial, a text for some good advice to in tending exhibitors generally. The advice i, tbat the manufacturers shall exhibit the best goods they can make every day in tbo week in their own shops. " Nickel plated stoves lth gold trimming-), carpenters' tools with pearl handles, Raws with etched blades, and similar fancy atticles might be well enough in their proper places, but they should not be shown among the legitimate products of our foun dries or tool shop". If visitors look at mowiDg machines, they want to Bto machines with which it would be possible to cut grass ; if they look at stoves, they want to see ttoves in which it is possible to make a patisfaclory fire; if at tools, they went to see practical to Is witn wmen amecnaniocan work." I he Iron Age does not depreciate all attempts at decora tive art in tbe manufacture of articles intended solely for use. but proper. y recommends that after the article has been perfected the artist shall be called in to give grace to curves and beauty to tho whole form. " He may then stop content u tne ooject do one ot utility only. Excessive ornamentation is always rjgly, and ornamentation out of place is barbaric " Dana on Dabwinism. Professor Dana, o Yale, is not a Darwinian, or ho is not in full sympathy with Darwin's views. lie says: " There is no question, first, that geological lime has been of vast length : second, tbat tbere is an historical order in the rocks of the clobe. and tbat the process of the world's creation may be, to a large extent, read in the rocks; and third, that there has been a system of progress in tho earth's living species from the Bimpler forms of earlier time to man. But. while adopt ing these conclusions in common with all geolo gists, I have no faith in the Darwinian scheme of deriving man thtough gradual development upward from the monkey, or of evolving a system' of life through 'natural selection.' I de plore the misuse of science in the support of materialistic views, not uncommon among those who adopt tbe Darwinian hypothesis. At the same time I firibvo. for the sake of the bible and religion, that the discussions relating to scientific views and men should be so often in terspertod with abusive epithets, and bo often presented by those who are isuorant of the sciences they are attempting to set right." S. F. MVVT IT- GENERAL MERCHANDISE. DEWEY & CO. American & Foreign Patent Agents WHOLESALE. J WrnrasDxT it., July 28, 1875, Ciunok op Color in Animals. Certain ani male(posb09s the power of changing their color at will, or according to the ciroumstances in which they are placed. This is convincingly shown in some recent experiments made by II. Fouchet, a French inveBtieator, lie cboe as his subjoct tho Palcemon strratua, a species of prawn or crab. Thoso prawns, when brought ashore- by tho fishermen, have a rose or dark lily color; but if they are put into porcelain vessols with black or white bottoms, they will assume colors wholly unlike. Those in. tbe white dish become yellowish, almost colorless, as if they had just shed their skin; those in tho dark colored dish assume a brownish red hue If they are ohauged, thx pale into the black vessel, and vice veraa, they again alter their color, in correspondence with their surround ings. The change of a pale one to a dark tint was more rapid than the reverse. Thus, under favorable circumstances, a yellow, red, or roso-colored Putwmon can be created. English Gooseberries. It is said that once upon a time thore was nothing grown but smooth-hkinuod goose borrli s. In thoso days thore were caterpillars which fed on the lcavos as uow. The horticulturist however, was more industrious than those of our time not ns looking for various remodies in the shupe of potions and powdors, oils, soaps and poisons but as gathering tho hairy things by bis fingers uud collecting (bum into a pan, Finishing his tank, he had a bright idea. He was a Ytiukuo. Therrt wore Yankees in those days. Could not tho hairy caterpillar be put to protltub'ii) u Y Ho could. He should make manure for the plant; and tho whole batch was buried near the roots of the smooth gooseberry bush. But, and hero is tho great wonder, the smooth-fruited gonbeberry, at whoso ruoM tho hairy caterpillars were buried, from that time foi ward boro hairy fruit ! Now, we do not believe a word about this. We question whether thero is a word of truth in the whole story, although it is just as good as scores of "reliable incidents" told incouueo tlou with remarkable fruits, and wLlch all tho faithful in the pomological fold are bound tn beliove, ..... Iu short we have not much faith m goose berries anyhow', except our uativo Auiericau sorts, which in ooinparisiu with the ohoice English kinds, which the books tell us about, must be very poor iudeed. Still they are de alt able. Hucli hs they are, no one would care to be without a few. Hut tbe others, if only they could be bud, would bo something worth having. But, hs we have said, we have little faith in tbe English gooseberry doing well. In spite of all, the fruit mildews, and tbe plants winter-kill. We have gieu thin up for lost, when we note that a wiiter in tbe .Vir4ind farmer reports Mitiu as growing well enough, if deep layer of cornsta KS bo p.acoj between tbe rows, and close up to the gooseberry hteins, so as to keep the tun entirely trout tbe ground. We think there is aoinelhiug the more probable in this, as the mildew .ou tbe English goose berry hereabouts never appears till tho hot suns eouio; and ii a bush by any chance finds itself in a shadier pWce than tbe others, it gen erally does all the Wter for tbe chance. Our people keep trying over and over again to grow plums in spite of all the odds sgainst Ihetn. They lime and soap, and wbat-uot so as to try and scare the ourcullo, but without much effect.

Tho modern porcetain of Chin compared with the antique wares, shows tbe art has much declined. Tbe biscuit is not so wliito and pure, and tbo glaze is rougher. The oolors, too, aro less bright. The materials em ployed now ure clay, quartz, steatite and glaze, Tho whole of the modern Chinese ware is made at Kiug-teh-Chen, whore the potteries were first t stablished about QUO years ago. At present tbere are about 120 furnaces emplojed about half the original number. Of the enamels, the cloisonne is still mads at Pokin; and tho enamels bear comparison with the ancient. Some of the best designs in effective specimens cf hand, not molded work, are very artUtic. A lady, Miss Barlow, in Staffordshire, has excelled in sgraffito, ornamented designs in gray clay. The colors of tho designs being turquoise, violet, blue, olive, green, etc. The mode of tiring and tbe material adopted rendered the tints mottled and more artistic. Lavatory fit tings constitute a branch of pottery formerly quite unknown. Two kinds are known. The brown glazed stoneware and quoenswaro. BLOOD DISEASES. Tbe blood being tho source from which our systems are built up aud from whleh we derive our mental as well us physical capability s, how important that It should be kept pure. If it contains vile festeriug poUons all organio functions are weakened thereby. Settling upon important organs, as the lungs, liveror kidneys, tho effect is mo-it disastrous. Honce it behooves every one to keep their Hood in a petfi-ctly heal by condition aud more specia'ly does this apply at this paniculur huuou of tbo year than a' any other. No matter what tho xciting cause may br, tho teal eaine of u largo propor tion o( all discu'-Hs is bad blood. Now Dr. Tierce doos not wish to placo his Golden Med ical Discovery iu tho catalogue of quack patent nostrum-i by recommending it to cine every dm tase, nor does be so recommend it, on the con trary thero are huudrids of diseases tbat he ao-kuowledg- s it will not cure ; but what he does cltiui is this, that thero is but one form of blunt disease that it will not cure, uud that disease is caucer. He do s not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to bo tho mot searchiug blood eloamer yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other known blood poison", b they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden DUcovcry is tiwruiikuj by biui to cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as ull forms of Blotohes. Pimples uud Eruptious. al.o all Glandular Swellings, and the worst form of Scrofulous und Ulcerated Souw of Neck, Legs or other parts, aud all Scrofulous Diseases, ot the Bonos, as Whit Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Sninal Diseases, all of which belong to Si rofulous diseases.

Our intimate knowledge of - the various in ventions of this coast, und long practice in patent business, enable us to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increusing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventorc are found among our most steadfast friends nnd patrons, who fully appreciate oar advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the public through the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secures with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in nil foreign countries which grant Patents, including ureat .tintain, t ranee, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales. Queensland, Tasmania. Brazil, New Grenada, Chile, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. , No models are required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by I able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent 1 laws agents who are reliable and penna- 1 nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pnt- i ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can and do get foreign patents for inventors in the Pacific States from two to six months (according to tbe location of the country sooner than any other agents. Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered by a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applications which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advice of importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money but their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We bold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agency. We are familial with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of thf value and patentability of inventions discov ered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat ot government, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacifio Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by the extra time consumed in transmit ting specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us.
