NfiaLLAMETTE FARMER ? r Chemistry in its Relation Thought. to Modern The above was the title of a paper read by r Mr. H. B. Baildon before a mreting of the North British branch of the Fherniareuticsl Society, held in Edinburgh recently. In the coarse of bis remarks the reader showed that to chemistry was entrusted the task of tracking matter back to its Mmpiest torm or forms, and the result, so far ss present knowledge went, was remarkable. Thtre were over CO elements which had hitherto defied all attempts to re solve them into a farther simplicity, and these were indestructible, pasning scathlesn and in vulnerable through every transformation. While of course ft was open to the theorists to hold that these elements were varieties of some ultimate single substance, there seemed no prospect that a nroof would ever offer itself. No donbt the fact that all the elements had dif ferent atomatio weights, and that in sotro cases we found elements which bore a family likeness, forming a series in regard to their atomic weights affording, as it were, a glimpse of the wondrous staircase of creation; yet as there ap peared to bo no means of further analysis, this theory seemed fated to remain a theory. Like all sciences, chemistry was full of unanswered questions. Mature and elaborate as it was, it had not surrendered the keys of its causation. We mfcht tAllc oliblv Annnoh nt AriAmipal nfrln. ities though we coufd give no reason for tbem. It wag possible that at some future time a further step might be made; somo relation be tween the form of the molecules and these af finities might be discovered. But it oeemed certain, from all previous experience, that, vir tually, the same question would remain unan swered a law being found according to which the molecules attract each other, but for whose existence no reason could bo assigned. Pass ing on to inquire what bearing chemistry had upon Mr. Tyndall's notion of matter, the pro fessor found in matter, firstly, the "promise of all terrestrial life." Did that mean there was nothiDg but matter in existence ? If so, it was contradictory to the professor's own admission of the mystery of mind. Did it mean that the material or physical nniverse consisted of mat ter ? That was tautologic. Or did it mean that matter traced back to Its simplest forms f;ave promise of its future destiny? If so, this ast could flatly be denied. Matter in its sim plest forms consisted of a number of separate elements. So long as these were kept apart, they exhibited peculiar and distinct properties. But take two whose single properties were known, and allow them to combine, when there appeared what was virtually a now creation a substance possessing q lalitlea different from those of its constituents. Neither of these, therefore, could be said to afford tho promise of the reuniting product. After a reference to the law of combination by weight, the reader treated 01 a oonimnation by volume, dlnuMon of cases und crystallization. He concluded by saying that to his mind the fact ot crystalliza tion was higher than that of aoy law they had yet dealt with; it declared most distinctly the connection between beauty find purity, the ten dency of the crystal being to cast out all cbein ical impurity. Iron. Vegetable Fiber tor Plastering. Notwithstanding it is well known that the animal hair used in mortar for plastering c fl ings is soon destroyed by the caustic action of the quicklime, its n-e for keeping plasKr to gether hat been persisted in from time im memorial. Tbis is so much more surprising. as it is well known by all who handle adds anil alkalies, that the latter act iu an opposite way from the fjrmer on vegetable and Knimalnber; while mineral acids, like oil or vitriol, etc., rio not attuck animal substances like hair, the mineral alkalies, as potash, soda, lime, etc., do so; but on the other hand, they do not at tack vegetable fibers, which are as safe against caustio alkalies as animal fibers are against acid. Therefore quicklime hcts on bair in a similar way, and more so in proportion as it is more caustic: of course ine nair nstd soon De- comes rotten, and v-ry often does not prevent the plaster from filling off, as is well known by those in the business. At last the idea was conceived of substitut ing a vegetable fiber for the hair, which was so succe-sful that the invention was patented, and alter experimenting with various kinds of vege table fibers, it is now prepared and furnished to builders, masons, plasterers, architects, and con tractors. Every one knows that the animal hair, as sold to the trade, is very impure, containing some 30 per cent, of its weight of impurities, as limn and scrapings of hides, while the hair itself, by the caUBtio action of the quicklime used in the process ot removing it trom the hides, has been greatly damaged And lost some 50 per cent, of its original strength. The ob jections to the hair thus far used are: 1st. It is more than half rotten by quioklime when bought. 2d. It can not resist the action of the lime in the plaster, but coon rots entirely away. 3d. It contains at least 30 per cent, of dirt and dust. 4tb. .besides tbls loss In quantity, tbore is much short hair which is of no use in the plaster. This new material is sold in New York city, under the name of the patent vegetable plas tering fiber. The advantages claimed for it are: 1st. Being of a woody nature, in stead of being destroyed when put in tbe lime, it is preserved lime being a preserver of wood. 2d. It is light and bulky, f-o that one pound, costing only 20 cents, is sufficH nt for a barrel of browning, and two pounds for a barrel of lime scratch coat. 3d. It is much stronger than bair, is very light, clean, and perfectly froe from dirt. 4th. It mixes more easily and freely with the plaster than is the case with Lair, and also spreads much more evenly through tbe same. This substance is packed in bales of two pounds each, ready for use, and has only to be whipped a little to lighten it up, and scattered over the lime, which should bo first thoroughly slacked. S. F.

In addition to tho advantages alluded to last week ns derivable from Wheeler's new mode of welding steel fo iron, we may mention, as of great importance, its application to the manufacture of fire arms both small arms and cannon of tho largest caliber. Mr. Wheeler holds that the paBt manner of casting cannon, in not excluding the' atmosphere from the mold while molten metal is being poured in, accounts for the brittleness of the gun metal in general, and its lack of resitting forco to a great expansive power. Hitherto the meat nroblem has been to dis cover a gun that would be light and economical and at the same time capable of groat endur ance. Tbe best known cannon now in use is the Armstrong gun in England. This inventor, after spending hundreds of thousands of pounds for the government, brought out a gun that secured him a knighthood. The Armstrong gun is oi iron entirely, iuo great trouble with an iron gun, however, lies iu the fact that it is subject to abrasion from tho friction of its load, so that in time it becomes very inaccurate from irregularities produced upon the surface of its interior. A steel surface is neoessary to guard against this abrasion, but a gun made entirely of steel has no resisting strength, ns compared with an iron gun. The famous Kiupp gun of uormany is a sieoi gun, outitKOiuetimes uursts after a second discharge, as was the case with the last experiment mado with a gun of extra ordinary caliber. For vears tho creat nroblem has been to oombine steel with iron so that a gun might bo found that will havo a steel lining for its interior, to prevent abrasion, and iron exterior to securo the desired strength. Steel is also much more expunsito and henvy than iron, so that an iron gun with steel lining would of necessity be lighter, more economical tind effective than could any ot the guns made of steel alone. It would iibo have a strength far suporior to the best Armstrong gun. To solve this problem has required the welding of Bteel and iron in such a manner that a homogeneous moss would lie produced, coinbiuinir the desid eratum of good qualities. -Ilenco Mr. Wheeler's combined iron and steel plan has been called the AruiHtiong married to tbe Krupp. It is tho successful solution of a problem upon which tho warlike nations of the world have expended millions without, htretofoto, auy very satisfac tory result. In regard to small nruis it is said that Rem ington, Sharp, and Mrs. Colt have made over tures to uso tho process iii the manufacture of their weapons. It is claimed that the invention, so long sought after, is but another discovery of the identical process used iu the uinuifuc- ture ot tue reieuratcd uauiasou blade. Certain it is that all the leading naval oftioera, from Admiral 1'orter down, are very enthusiastic npon the subject of this improvement. Formation of Ultramarine During the In cineration of Bread. I do not find any note of the fact that, at a certain stage in the incineration (burning) of bread, the beautiful ultramarine blue is formed. This occurs under circumstances which I have not yet sufficiently studied to enable me to repro duce it with certainty; but if the beat be raised to very blight redness, or be prolonged after complete incineration of the bread, the blue paBseB into a beautiful turquoise color, then be comes green, then passes on into a rusty color, and finally comes out as a pale fawn-colored lining to the botryoidal mass of ash. This is not further affected, even by a prolonged white heat. Tbe tints ere so suggestive of the pres ence of copper that only by very careful ex amination did I satisfy myself of the absence of that metal; and I find that the colors occur In the purest and finest broad, as well as in in- ferior samples. I should ba grateful if other analysts would tavor me witn any observations which tney may bave made upon this point, and I hope soon to be in a position to submit for my self some further account. It is curious that copper should appear in all the text books as one oi the agents ordinarily used for adulterating bread, and the question arises whether the supposed use of copper may not sometimes nave been erroneously interred from the occurrence in bread nsh of these beautiful colors.

A Mr. Mouchot has just invented a machine composed of threo prinoipal parts, to-wit: a me Ullio mirror with a linear focus, a blackened boiler whosenxis coincides with this focus, and a casing of bIubs permitting tbe solar rays to come to I no uouer out opposing tneir egress until they have been transformed into obscure rays by tbe latter. Tho opening of the mirror, which is in tbe form of a truncated cone, U turned toward to tbe nun. The sides of tbe oone make an burIo of 45 with its axi. Tbe bottom of tho mirror is composed of a disc of cast iron, which bas for its object tbe diminu tion of the force ot the wind. Tbe boiler, which is of the same hight as the mirror, rises from the center of tbe disc, aud is of copper, blackeued ou the out side. It is oomposcd of u double casing, be tween tue inner and outer of wbich is tbe feed water. Tbe following is one the results obtained with this apparatus under ordinary circumstances, to-wit: 20 liters (1,220,' inches) of water were introduced at 20u (C8 Fahreubeit) ; in 40 min utes they produced steam of two atmospheres, and a few minutes later of Ave atmospheres. Tbe steam served for the working of several motors. .rlMien'aM Manufacturer. The CoNbTnucTioN cf Keyolyino Dbaw BuiDaiis.

The calculation of continuous girders was first undertaken by Navier in 1830, but was much improved upon by Classeyron in loai, mesa auu otner authors have. how. ever, Mr. llerschell states, developed only special coses, and he has undertaken to develop the equatioua for the geneial case of unequal spaus aud supports, either in or out of level, lollowing the equations given in a recent work of Weyrauob, Mr. llerschell gives in de tail the formula necessary to compute the di mensions of every part of the bridge in ques tion, and illustiates tbe whole by numerical ex amples. The several equations are writteu out in full, and are so clear as to enable any one to follow the processes with ease.
