Science and Invention.
PRINTING OF EARTHENWARE.
The printing of earthenware has usually been
effected by transfer papers from engraved cop
per-plates The ink used in printing is made
of linseed oil boiled with litharge, rosin, balsam
of sulphur, and is tinted with any of the usual
mineral colors—blue being the principal, and
formed of oxide of cobalt. The color having
e been ground very fine, the printer blends it
with his oil upon a hot stove, and filling the en
graved plate with it, takes off the impression
by the common rolling press.
The tissue paper used for this purpose is first
prepared with a solution cf soap. As soon as
the print is taken, the engraving is cut out
with the scissors, and the plate placed upon
the biscuit ware, which, being absorbent, holds
it with great tenacity. The operator then, with
the end of a cylinder of flannel, tightly rolled
and bound with twine, rubs the print with
such force as to work the ink into close contact
with the biscuit The articles, thus coated
with paper, are then put into a tub of water,
ami the paper being wiped off with a sponge,
every minute point of the engraving is found ac
curately transferred to the ware. By another
method, the patterns are executed on the bis
cuit by painters, who lay on the colors in gum
wat*r. The biscuit ware thus ornamented, is
then dipped into a tub containing a finely
ground mixture, which, when melted, forms
the glossy coating to the ware. This glaze is
blended in water, which, being absorbed by
the biscuit, leaves a thin cover of glazing-pow
der upon the surface.
IMPROVED SAFETY LAMP.
An English inventor, who has had much ex.
perience in mining operations, has recently
brought forward an improved safety larrp for
miners in action, the object being to provide
fl-r them more light than they obtain from the
lamps now in use, with greater security from
danger. To increase the brilliancy of the light,
air is admitted into the oil pan at the top,
through two short tin tubes, about one six
teenth of an inch in diameter; and greater se
curity is also obtained by various internal ar
rangements, which prevent the flame from as
cending when brought into combustible air,
and by giving it greater external strength.—
No external agitation of the air outside the
lamp can effect the flame. It is considered,
also, that oil will be found much more economi
cal than candles, now so much used, and which
are known to be so exceedingly dangerous.—
The construction of this lamp appears to be
such as to make it very useful and reliable.
preservative solutions for railroad timber.
According to the experience of railroad man
agers, the wooden superstructure of a railroad,
unless protected against the assaults of heat
and moisture, will last only eight years. Sev
eral methods have been suggested to guard
against this waste of capital—Kyan’s process
of immersing timber in a corrosive sublimate
Bethel s mode of forcing a solution of coal oil
or pyrolignite of iron into the timber under a
heavy pressure,and Burnett’s process of forcing
chloride of zinc into it by nearly the same
means.
The expense of the apparatus by the above
process, and the difficulty in properly locating
it, have been objections to the plans named.—
It has therefore been proposed to try the prin
ciple of capillary attraction, and tire correct
way shown by nature in the vegetable process,
viz ; by expelling and following the sap longi
tudinally through the pores and tubes of the
timber. The sills are placed vertically with
the butt ends down, in a lightly corked tank
eight feet deep. When the tank is packed
with sills, efficient solution is added to fill tJ
the top of the sills. The pressure oi a column
seven feet in height is maintained at the butt
of the sills, the sap is expelled, and the pre
serving solution takes its place. This plan is
at once both simple and economical, and the
results obtained by its employment has been
highly satisfactory.
By this treatment, the gain in the weight of
the sills impregnated, ranges from 6.1 pounds
per sill, to 11.5, according to the kind of tim
ber operated upon, and the absorption is from
0.52 to 0.78 of a gallon per cubic foot. Heavy
timber impregnated in larger tanks, ranges
from 0 43 to 1.10 of a gallon per cubic foot.—
The labor involved in this process is only in
lifting and carrying tbe timber.
artificial bone for filling teeth.
The osteoplastic or artificial bone for filling
teeth, has been successfully introduced in this
country, and is stated to possess several ad
vantages over other materials for that purpose.
It can be colored while in a plastic state to
suit the shade of the tooth that is to be filled;
it does not harden so quickly but that there is
plenty of time afforded for finishing it smooth
ly. yet it hardens in a few minutes so as not
to be disturbed by the movements of the tongue,
or even by rinsing the mouth, and in a few
hours it will resist the action of mastication.—
One ounce of this new substance will fill as
many cavities as two ounces of gold foil.—
Another peculiar advantage which the osteo
plastic possesses over gold for filling, is in the
fact of its being a non-conductor—no after pain
being experienced by the patient from hot or
cold drinks, as is often the case with gold or
other fillings. It also adheres firmly to the
bone, and consequently is not liable to come
out of ill shaped cavities. As it is introduced
in a plastic slate, it saves much time and trou
ble, and requires little or no pressure. It al
so never changes color, nor does it discolor the
tooth.
PRODUCTION OF WATER GAS.
Another arrangement for the production of
water gas for illuminating purposes, has been
contrived by a Paris inventor. He brings su
perheated steam in contact with the decompo-
sing material, and when the gts is produced it
is purified by passing through hydrate of lime,
either alone or mixed with carbonate of soda.
The steam is superheated by passing through
tubes inbeded in the brickwork of the furnace,
and arrangements are made for the ejection of
the steam upon the decomposing material in
such a manner, that this latter shall be kept
equally heated. Another feature in the inven
tion consists in the use of an improved burner,
which is similar to the argand, except, that the
gas instead of being permitted to escape from
the orifices in the usual manner, is conducted
through tubes one and a half or two inches
long. To impart luminousness to the hydro
gen flame, wicks are employed composed of an
allay of platinum and iridium.
SOUNDING APPARATUS.
A sounding apparatus has been devised, de
signed to avoid friction upon the line, while at
the same time the line is not dispensed with,
but is made use of as in the ordinary mode,
though more advantageously.
Methods have been proposed in which a line
is dispensed with by detaching a float at the
bottom, when the plummet strikes, and watch
ing for the return of the float to the surface;
but this is impracticable, as there is no material
applicable, so far as is known, that will float to
the surface from the bottom of the sea, on ac
count of the great pressure, which condenses
the bulk, so as to render bodies specifically
lighter than water at the surface, heavier than
water at even moderate depths. A line must
therefore be used to bring back to the surface
any machine by which the depth may be reg
istered in the descent; and the motion of this
line in an extended form in the water must be
avoided.
The improved apparatus is designed to se
cure the object named, by attaching to the sink
er a tube or case in which the sounding line is
compactly coiled, and from which itisdischarg
ed freely, thus causing the plummet to carry
down the coil, while one end of the line is held
fast at the surface; the line being uncoiled from
the descending sinker in the manner that a spi
der falling from a height gives out a thread in
his descent, by which he retains communication
with the point above to which the thread is at
tached.
METALLIC PACKINGS FOR PISTONS.
The arrangement of metallic packings for pis
tons is now effected by a new method. There
is a circular spring inside at the back of the
metallic packing pieces, as is at present usual.
There is a plain hoop at the back of the metallic
packing cut in one place so as to allow it to ex
pand. Inside of this there is another hoop,
which is a spring with the ends turned in, and
a space between to allow of expansion or con
traction, according to the usual method. The
novelty consists in the packing pieces being in
two circles in the depth one above the other,
each circle divided into three, four, or more seg
ment pieces. The pieces of the top circle are
connected with the pieces of the lower circles
by pins, and placed so as to break joint From
this arrangement it is obvious that as the pack
ing pieces wear away on the outside, the inside
spring expands and keeps them in their place.
The top and bottom circular packing pieces, be
ing arranged to break joint as above described,
keep the whole steam tight.
PERPLEXED BRIDEGROOM.
Some days since a very rustic and inar"
listic couple, residents of Kentucky, near
the Tennessee line, concluded marriage to
be their destiny, and with this idea, came
to the Western Athens, desirous of sacrifi
cing themselves to Hymen at the earliest
opportunity.
In due time they arrived in this city, and
repairing to the Spencer House, informed
clerk Andrew Blum that they were extrem
ly intent on perpetrating matrimony, and
that nothing could thwart their purpose.—
Mr. Blum so far from wishing to prevent
their amiable immolation, made every eff
ort to facilitate their design, and so well did
he succeed, that in less than an hour James
and Jemima were wedded us firmly as lay in
the capacity of a clergyman to bind them.
The clerk, after the ceremony had been
performed, believing that all newly mar
ried people ought to be accommodated as
well as possible, gave them a parlor and
bedroom on the the third floor, and bade
them ‘good evening’ at 10 o ( clock, not for
getting to wish them every possible bliss.
The twain meekly followed the servant
to the rooms, and were left alone there fbr
the night; the clerk thinking no more of
them until about 2 o’clock, when, sitting
dosing in an easychair behind the counter
in the office, he was aroused by a voice sav
ing :
Look here, Mr. Clerk, Oh, Mr. Clerk,
I’d like to speak to you jest one minit!’’
Mr. Blum opened his eyes, and beheld
his rustic friend, hatless and coatless, with
flushed face and disheveled hair, and such
generally disarranged attire as indicated he
had been undergoing some violent exer
cise.
Well, sir, of what benefit can I be to
you’ ?’
“ Why—why, I don’t like to trouble you
and I don’t know how you fellows do things
in this big town ; but, but—
But what my good friend, asked the clerk
anxious to free the ruralist from his con
fusion, which was each moment on the in
crease.
“Why you know we’re married, Jemi
ma and me.’’
“ Oh, yes, and I wish you all manner of
good fortune, my fine fellow.’’
“ Wai, I spose you do; but counfound
meefl can git the hang of things in this
darned place. Maybe I’m green—and I
guess lam sort o’ that way—but, by jingoes,
you does funny here I”
“ Explain, ifyou please, my man. What
do you wish to say ?’’
“ We don’t care, Jemima and me for a
little while, but to roll on the floor all night
is devilish hard, stranger, I’l swear it is.”
“ Roll on the floor what do you mead ?’’
“ Wai. I's’pose it isn’t fashionable in big
towns; but, by gumbo, where we come
from married people allers goes to bed.’’
“ Havn’t you been to bed ?” asked the
clerk, in great surprise.
“ Why, how the devil could we go to bed
when there were’nt no bed to go to ? That’s
what we want the wust sort.”
“ My good fellow, there’s a bed in your
room. Did you not see it in the rear of
your parlor ?”
“Did you give us more’n one room, stran
ger ? By jingoes I didn’t know it. Il’s all
1 want —all right, old fellow’!’’
So saying, he ran up stairs, and before
the clerk could ascend to the chamber the
bucolicist was in bed, and replied to the
knock on the door :
“ All right, now; I’ve found it—Jemi
ma and me are satisfied. We don’t want
you : all right. God bless you, old fellow
All right—fust rate, God bless you ; good
’ uight I”
Mr. Blum went back to the office, chuck
ing at the idt a of the unfortunate ru.
ralist and his biick passing four hours in h s
i parlor without even supposing that theie
Wai a bed chamber attached,
Poor simpleton, no wonder he was em
barrassed and troubled—under the circum
stances.
