Artificial Teeth.
United States Commercial Agent Murphy at Luxembourg has sent to the department of stato the following translation of n report ou artificial teeth:
' Tho cost of an artificial tooth at the faofeory in tho United States should not exceed 30 or 3u cents. Qno of these factories in New York sells not less than 8,000,000 of these teeth^)or annum. The teeth are porcelain, covered with a speoial enamel, the application of which is so delicate that there are no two tooth which are exactly alike. Moreover, there are about 50 different tints, which are artificially obtained, corresponding with tho color variations of natural teeth. Tho imitation is carried so far as to simulate dofects which render tho illusion more complete.
