Restorine THe Features or Drap BoDtss.
The following process of restoring the features
of a dead body that has undergone putrefaction is being applied with great success. ‘I'he
body is placed in a water-tight shell; twenty
pounds of common salt, and one pound of hiydrochloric acid are added to the water nnd the
inimersion is sustained three hours. The body
is then removed, the face is washed with siniple water and then with chlorine water, and
finally a current of chloride gas is passed freely
over the face. ‘he restoration of the features
thug rendered is so perfect’ that the body can
be positively identified.
Peruars the largest fee that hns ever been
given to any inan of a rank lower than thnt of
royalty, was lately bestowed on M. Nellaton,
the famous surgeon. He received a fee of
£16,000 for going to Russia to wait on a
patient.
«Patent Paper Reel for Telegraph Register.”*
San Francisco, Sept. 18, 1865.
Eps. Mintne ann Soistiric Pritss—Sirs:—Havilg noticed
the above heading in your vatuable paper of the Ml inst.,
T beg leave to inforin you that the inveution is not Mr. L.
W. Wortl's, but oe already patented by we, while a resldent of Cleveland, Ohio. His torm of reel is one that I first
got up In 1863, and filed a caveat for, aud afterwards improved by pattiug sume gearing, or elock machinery, so 1s
not to use so much cord, The length of cord that I use now
to runall day, would not run his reel one hour. Atter making my inprovemeut, I applicd for a patent, which was
granted to me on the 19th of January, 1864. That patent
covers all of his, so-called, improvement, as will be seeu by
my iets (Noa. 41,312) which claim reads as follows:
"What I claim for my improvemeut, is the arrangcment
of the mutually exchangeable reels D and F, in combiuation with the gears, cord, pulleys, alul weight, the several
parts belug coustructed, arranged, and operating as and for
the purpose herein sct forth.”
This patent was obtained for me by Messrs. Bralnard &
Burridge, of Cleveland, Ohio, Putcnt Solieitors, And I
further state, that all persons wishing to usc said Paper
Reels, will pleaso to come and make arrangements with
me for their use. As for any advantage hie has over other
reels, lt cau only be that he has a greater length ot cord to
to wlnd up. Those thatI built, of lis Styles betore Tlind
mine patented and after I filed acavcat, hud all to be cxchanged for my new Reel. In putting this up it takes only
six screws to do.thowhole business, and takes up so little
room thatitlsqutte a convenient and usefil instrument.

GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR,

Openings,
The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical
Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 and 110.
That is, the respective mullers being of the same diameter,
samo weight, saino hardness, and running at the same velocity
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the
same degree of fineness in the same time.
The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in the
Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly uniform, thus
securing evenness of rednction to the pulp, as well as steadiness
of motion to tho muller. Uniform wear of the grinding plates
has been attained in no other than that of tbe Tractory form—nor
ean it be.
Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal
or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
surfaces into the quicksilver ; thus excluding the possibility of its
becoining eoated with any foreign substances, aftcr having beon
burnished. It is truthfully said “that tbe Tractory-formed Pan
as a Grindcr has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use.

Tho attention of tbe Public is respectfully called to tbese
facts : ‘)
Ist. That tbo Mechanical work accomplished hy differently
formed grinding plates, having the same diameter, weight, hardness, and revolviag at the same velocity, is ns follows, to wit:
Tho Mechanical Work of plane, circular plates of the usual
ring form, is ninety-eight........00% ove sail one ot 98
‘Tho Mechanical work of conical plates of the most approved
form, is one hundred and ten, ........0005 ces 2.0 110
The Mcchanical work of Tractory-formed plates, as introduced
in the invention of Wheeler & Randall, is one hundred and
soventy-seven.... aes . 1i7
That is, tho Tractory-formed grinding plates will reduce one
hundred and seyenty-scven tons of ore, the conical grinding plates
ono hundred and ten tons, and the plane circular grinding plates
ninety-eight tons, to tle same dcgrce of fineness in the same timo.
Those using this invention certify that they thoronghly reduce
five tons of ore, as it ordinarily comes from the wet battery, per
day in each pan, four feet diameter, the muller making sixty-five
revolutions per minute.
2d. That asa whole, the Wheeler & Randall Grinder and Amalgamator is one of tho most simple, compact, substantial, convonient and efficient pans in use.
