Dyeing with coal oil and sorghum. --Some very interesting experiments have lately been made by Henry Erm, chemist of the department of agriculture, in resting the coloring matter in coal oil and some sorghum seed. By combinations with different chemicals, he finds that a great variety of colors can be produced from each of these substances, some of them very brilliant in tint and delicate in shading, down from the deepest to the palest. I have just been shown some beautiful specimens of silk and merino by him. The prevailing colors were purple, red and green. Of the red, there is almost every shade known, from Solferino down to the daintiest peach-blow. There are different tints of purple, also, and the beauty of them is, that they are fast colors, in the old fogy time meaning of that expression, before fast people came into date. Three specimens had been tried with soap and boiled, but still held their own. [Northern Paper.
