Стр. 148 - It has been already stated that mohair is not a substitute for wool, but that it occupies its own place in the textile fabrics. It has the aspect, feel and lustre of silk without its suppleness. It differs materially from wool in the want of the felting quality, so that the stuffs made of it have the fibres distinctly separated and are always brilliant. They do not retain the dust or spots, and are thus particularly valuable for furniture goods. The fibre is dyed with great facility and is the only...
Стр. 275 - These balls are sold for about one-half the price of ivory balls, but do not compete successfully with the latter. They take the force of the cue well, but do not rebound with accuracy from the cushions or from each other. Probably the metallic oxides introduced in the rubber are unevenly distributed, so that the centre of gravity does not coincide with the centre of the ball.

Стр. 147 - ... and the claws hitched upon any convenient projections. However unpromising a subject the Rat may appear, it has often been tamed, and is a very much more educatable animal than could be supposed. It will obey its master's commands with promptitude, and has been known to learn very curious tricks. For further information on this subject the reader is referred to a work published by Messrs. Routledge and Co., entitled
Стр. 141 - ... the motive power being furnished by the weaver. Numerous and costly experiments to weave ingrain carpets by power-looms had been made in England, but had proved unsuccessful. Mr. Erastus P. Bigelow, of Massachusetts, in 1842, conceived of a series of devices for making the carpet loom automatic, so that the costly labor of men might be dispensed with, and the whole process of weaving might be conducted by girls ana boys.
Стр. 517 - ... the way of fibre-yielding material are shown, not only of Victorian native products, but those of the other colonies acclimatised here, and of exotics also hitherto esteemed only for ornamental purposes in gardening. Had time permitted, my collection of exhibits would have been far greater. I would have been able to collect and test the value of many plants which I know exist on the borders of Gippsland, and even nearer to Melbourne — I mean the Macedon and Dandenong Ranges. It is almost needless...
