Tannlngr of Metals. Among the important discoveries of modern times is one of changing the character of metals by a process re sembling that which skins go through in tanning. The pores of the metal arc filled with another metal, or a che mical preparation of metals. This is done, by dipping the plates to be opera ted upon in a melted metal, or oilier preparation, and then placing them in an oven subject to intense heat Hy this process, the new ingredients become incorporated with ihe principal matter, so as to essentially change its character in some respects, especially the plates are rendered more maleablc, and at the same time, incapable of oxydation. A French discovery, applicable to iron, has been sometime in use in this coun try, and so far, has accomplished all which it professed. The sheets of iron are immersed in melted spelter, and then baked, as stated above. The iron is afterwards softer, and does not rust at all from exposure to air or salt wa ter. It is therefore far more valuable formany purposes Iron so prepared is called galvanized iron. An Kuglish man some two or three years ago dis covered a similar process applicable t copper, spelter and iron. What the composition is which he puts upon the plates, we do not know, but his opera tion is of the same nature with the one described above, and the c fleets are the same. The copper becomes impervi ous to the action not onlv of air and salt water, but of powerful acids also; and what is of no small importance for sheathing of vessels, marine vegetation and shells do not form upon it. If these mucinous scutlemcii will but contrive now, some way of imparting this anti oxyding quality to iron and steel, with out impairing the firmness of their structure, they will have discovered the philosophsr's stone in a good degree, and our servants will thank them for putting an end to the disagreeable bu siness of scouring knives and forks. A steel knife that would not rust, would be better than a silver one, and the same might be said of spoons, and almost c very thing else, The peculiar excel lence of silver consists in its resistance of oxvdation. For many purposes an increase of softness in iron or copper is on increase of value. Ihe improve ments of which wchavc been speaking, both lhat invented in France and thai in Kngland, scorn to us of very great importance. The original idea, per I haps, ought to go to the credit of Sir Humphrey Daw. He mixed metals so as to prevent the oxydation of cop. per on ships, but barnacles lormcu much faster on the copper prepared by him. than on that which had not been prepared, The injury was found to be where the soil has enough manure and lime to feed the crop. Agriculturalist household but on the contrary, would be extremely mortified at ignorance of such essentials.
