Sapont1jcation of Mineral Oils.--Many
attempts have been made to saponify
the oils, but small success has hitherto
attended the endeavor. A new process
has lately boeen patented iII 1"nglaid,
whicb has, It 18 said, proved.satlsfacto
ry. The patent applios not only to
those oils which are ound native, such
as petroleum, but also to those that are
obtained from coal, schist, asphalt an'd
other minerals. li order to render
such oils capable of saponlficli they
are itrst aoldifled by the addUion of con
crete fatty matter, either anlinal or veg
etable, and the mixture is then saponi
lied In the usual way by the addition of
alkaline of lye. The soaps thus pro
duced may be varied in hardness and
solidity according to the naiture of the
fatty matters and lyes employed, but in
all cases they are powerfully detergent
and disinfectant, and baths formed by
them do not putrefy even after use.
Such being tihe general nature of tihe
new and improved process, the manner
in which it oan be prpctically carried
into eifect may be best explailncd by a
particular example: Assuming the oil
to be irreated to be the rectified oil of
Petroleum and the concrete fatty mat
ter stearic aeid, tihe latter Is melted in
a water bath and poured into tihe pe
troleum, which is at ordinary tempera
ture, the stearic acid being added to the
petroleum in tihe praportion of about
fifteen parts of the ormer to 100 parts
of the latterby welht. After thorough
mixturdj by tirrI'in fr.a shorf/6time thle
compound can be saponified in tihe usu
il way. ,leig.however, nf advantage to
combine it, before saponifleation, with
animal or vegetable fatty matter, a good
proportion fQr such combination being
Iwo of th? fkodi petrolaumiito three
of the fatty ..1 . 14t her ;sodij o1
putash nmay be employed to saponilfy tie
compound, producing a beizine soap
which may be made hard or soft accord
lug to the alkali and the proportions
adopted in the sapoulication.
Niagara Falls.-The amount of water
passing over Niagara Falls has been es
timnated at 100 000 000 tons per hour,
and its perpendicular descent may be
taken at 150"feet, withoiut considering
the ra Ids, which repreqent a further
fall of 0 feet. The fo'ce sreprqsented
by the prin'lpal fall alone amounts to
16 800 000 horse power, an amonut
which if it had to be produced by steam
would necessitate an expenditure of not
less than 266 000 000 tons of coal per an
num, taking the consumption of coal at
four potnds per horse per hour. II
other words, all the coal raised th rough
out the world would barely suiflice to
produce the amount of power that an
mnually rins to waste it this wonderful
fall.

EtHT POINTS IN BnAD MAKING.
Ve sum up brietly eightessential points
inbread-naking. 1. Good wheat flour.
Some varieties of wheat, such as are
deflelent in gluten, will not make good
flour. 2. A good miller to grind the
iheat. The bread-maker should be
sure to find (1th good miller. 3. The
wheat shiould not be ground when very
dry. Choose a "wet s)ell" for the
griiding. 4. Theilo ur should be sifted
before using, to separate the particles.
5. Good yeast. This Is made froiti now
hops, Stale hops will not, with cer
taInty, 1111O lively yeast. 6. Tho
rough kneading. After it has had
enough, knead it awhile longer. 7
Do not lot the dough rIse too tucli.
Nine out of every ten broad-makers in
this cotutitry let their bread "rise'' 'n
til its sweetness lias bcen destroyed.
S. The oven canl be too hot 11s wcll a1s
too cool. The "lhappy Iledimlill'' must
be determind upo( ani) iidti selected. lere
are three kinds of bread ; sweet bread,
bread, 11 sour bread, ia greait maty
muake bread, but few make sweet bread.
"Sweetness'' ii bread IS a positive
quality that not many brema makers
have discovered.

draw the scissors over it to make it
curl, then put the wire through ; con
tinue iII like imanner, cittinig each
succeeding one anl eighth of an inch
larger than the proceeding one, uniitil
the desired size is reached. The above
is for a rose. China asters are simply
cut aroind and fringed to the centre.
-III finishinig all flowers a little waX

hold the flower in its place.
To KErP BEEF-STEAK.-Have the
steaks cut, about. the usual thickness.
Mix together some salt, sugar and
some finely-powdered saltpetre; put in
an earthenjar, lay a steak and sprinkle it
with this mixturb; put on another, and
sprinkle the same as before, and over
all turn a plate with a heavy weight
on it. This willt form a brine of its
own, and the meat will keep sweet in
this way for a long time. You canl
take it out to broil in the usual way.
This Is a very good recipe for people
who live away from cities. Do not let
it freeze.

very excellent quality can be bought
for $1.25 per bushel. Damaged or mil[
