3º Intestines prepared and dried which, blown up, might be employed to hold and preserve aliments which might be utilised as primary matters for different fabrications, such as for harmonic chords, whip cords, rattles, machines, gold beaters skin and cartridge paper; applications which one of the committee, M. Payen, discovered, by and which would employ all the remains of intestines useless for the usage we have described; 4º Tendons for glue factories. There are other animal remains whose use has been long appreciated, horns, and feet, and skins. But the transportation of the first might be rendered less expensive by first pressing them down, and the last are, as it is known, often attacked on shipboard by insects. To prevent these injuries so hurtful to commerce the employment of different substances should be tried such as pyroligneous acid, the chloride of lime, the bichloride of mercury. If naturalists wish to try these different processes, we doubt not that merchants, for whom this question is one of great interest, will assist their experiments by all the means in their power. An appeal is likewise made to agriculturits for seed of north American forest trees. FINIS.
