NO UNDUE HEAT ABOUT FUTURE DINNERS.

s_? s^4rS__ssvs great heat is generated, and «em is a mere matter of airan. em en t w net An SeVfrle oven has been invented fn which electricity both turns the spit and roasts the joint, 'f h ? TX ? furnace been turned into a small electric ««"iace from which the heat radiates just the same as if it were a coal fire ™je« have also been made for cooking puww. with an outer and an inner skm,^the n te-val between the two skins being M\ea with a white metal which is heated W a current of electricity. In his way water can be boiled and food cooked. There are three degrees of heat, according to tne will 51 ?he attendant. The vessels are provided with binding screws that connect them with the current in amoment it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this invention. In a few years we shall be turning on our room fires for heatm_ just as we now turn on the gas for ngn.ing. Our cooking will be done without dust or smoke; and by being able exactly to regulate the intensity of the heat, we shall also be able to cook a steak to our entire satisfaction. At the breakfast table the coffee may be made before our eyes, while soups and other preparations can be allowed to simmer any needed time, with the certainty that the fire will neither become too hot nor go out altogether. There is hope for scientific cookery under the conditions of the coming time. The housewife's labours will be lightened, and her husband's temper will remain serene.—(Chambers's Journal.)
