At the request of the secretary of
commerce and labor, the department
of Btate at Washington collected Infor
mation concerning the- use of paving

like porcelain, and therefore regarded
it as a magicti product endowed with
uncanny powers. It was said, for in
stance, that a porcelain cup wouh)
Lreuk if poison were poured into It.
Travelers declared that porcelain wat
composed of various substances which,
after being tempered, were hidden in
the ground for ages before being fit for
use. Even so erudite a man a3 Sit
Thomas Browne, writing in the later
seventeenth century, was "not thor
oughly resolved, concerning porcellan
or china dishes, that according to com
mon beJlef they are made of earth."
The secret of the true Chinese porce
lain was first discovered in Europe a
generation later by tne German chem
ist Ecttger, the inventor of what is
cow known aa Dresden chk;a.
Gas and Electricity.
Since the introduction of the Incan
descent as burner, a new lease of liu:
has been given to gas undertaking, ac
cording to the chief engineer of the
Manchester (England) ga.s work.
These gas works aro owned by the mu
nicipality. He says that gas has now
beon placed in the front row as the
cheapest illuminant. The Manchester
engineer shows that electricity, light
i'or light, is eight times dearer in Man
chester than is gas lisht. He demon
strated that to produce a light ot 1,00
i car.dle power it would cost 3.72 cents If
gas were used and 30.1 cents if electric
ity were the Illurnlnajit.
