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.

Combined Steel and Iron.
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. James Edmunds, in Chemical

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

Tbe following is one the results obtained with
this apparatus under ordinary circumstances,

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

Foreign Patents.
In addition to American Patents, we secure
with the assistance of co-operative agents,
claims in all foreign countries wbich grant
Patents, including Great Britain, France,
Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru,
Ru in, Spain, British India, Saxony, British
Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico,
Viciori.i, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den
mark. Italy. Portugal. Cuba, Roman States.
Wmtemberg, New Zealand, New South
Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New
Grenada, Chili, Argentine Bepublic, 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
able persons who are familiar with the re
quirements and changes of foreign patent
laws agents who are reliable and perma
nently established.
Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat
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 Pacifio States from two to six months
(according to the location of the country
sooner than any other agents.
The principal portion of the patent business of
mis coast nas ueen aone, ana is sun cwing
done, through our agency. We are familiar
with, and have full records, of all former
cases, and can more directly judge of the
and patentability of inventions discovered
here than any other agents.
Situated so remote from the seat of goverment,
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 extra time consumed in trans mitting
specincations irom nastern agencies Dacs to
this coast for the signature of the inventor.

Confidential.
We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all
confidential matters, and applicants (or pat
ents can rest assured that their communi
cations and business transactions will be held
strictly confidential by ns. Circulars free.
Home Counsel.
Our long experience in obtaining patents for
Inventors on this Coast has familiarized ns
with tbe 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 applicants
which will interfere with their obtaining a
patent.
We invite the acquaintance of all parties con
nected with inventions aud patent right busi
ness, believing that the mutual conference of
legitimate business and professional men is
mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to
tbeir rights as assignees of patents, or pur
chasers of patented articles, can often receive
advise of importance to them from a short
call at our office.
Remittances of money, made by individual in
ventors to tne uovernment, sometimes mis
carry, and it has repeatedly happened that
applicants nave not only lost tneir money
but their inventions also, from this cause and
consequent delay. We nold ourselves re
sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency
Engravings.
We have superior artists in our own office, and
all facilities for producing fine and satisfac
tory illustrations of inventions and machinery,
for newspaper, book, circular and other
printed illustrations, and are always ready to
assist patrons in bringing their valuable dis
coveries into practical and profitable use.
