Professor Faraday has been accustomed far some
pars post to deliver • short mum of nova at the Royal
lastitotion, at this mean of the year, to &juvenile audience,
and yesterday he delivered the first of his knees for the
premed year. The soigne wee " metalliess properties,"
width he illustrated by • variety of carious and intereeng
experiments. The peindpal propane, which he ccesiden
yesterday were those of kW" rellsotke, and traasperency,
end gold vree the mete mimed for their Distention. The
elemestary nature of the ands was the first point he took
into comiderstion, and the vast as bar of those elementery
sabsiseces compared with ne Iller—tles or foor—of which

venom /save been men en the tsar Abele of
the sionnine to temeante Led Into gold. The shemide
of the prose day, Predemir Fanny observed, would be
equally well plowed if they amid reverse the prone, mad
tenenuts gold into WA, as it wend prove the instals to be
compound bodies, but all attempts to nommen them have
hitherto 60ed, and the samba of elmosetiary metallic bodies
is continoally tacniudniy. To show the reflecting power of
gold a large polished piece al that metal weal placed a few
loons under a red hot nil without being been, the radiant
haat being redacted from its surface; and when • morsel of
phosphorus was placed rime to the gold with a piece of ghee
Interpose berm It sad the heated bell, the phorpheroserm
sot Mend, though the glass absorbed to much beat the it
Ignited the phosphorus when removed to some dingo from
the red lot bell. &nee other experiments shrift the
effect of • polished metallic surface in redacting beat whilst
the relator continua, cold wen exhibited, magi the meet
curious of which was lies toning a slice of ben by inseam
of • red hot salaassader, whilst parts that were
covered by gold leaf remained nnacorched. Prima,
Faraday slim showed the protective effect of • emerieg of
gold from the sons of fin by putting gold Led Mr his
Sager, and then holding it neer to the red hot ball without

exisdencing any inoon;snimme. The suprelor power whack
reside proem as compuld with other polished emboss of
reasedag light was shown by redacting the rays of the
doh* lamp bore a pollahed surface of gold and from glass
en toe wee& The disc of light redacted from the gold was
very much brighter than that from the glans, the latter when
contrasted with It appearing quits dim. The effect of a parabolic

reflector, such as is used bytbe Triaity-boue in lighthouse,
wee otempltfled by placing one of the reflectors commonly
need aver the flame of an Argand lamp. The lamp appeared
to give but a feeble light when burning without the radiator;
but when that was applied the immersed rays threw a
very thong light to all parts of the theatre towels which ft
wee directed. Preemie Faraday mid that espirbeets were
now being made at the South Foreland lightheeree with the
electric light, and he hoped that ere bog that light would be
applied there, sad it would throw its rays to a diem* of 100
miles. The light that erase &gloat the polkaed mho of
gold is not all rediced, part of it is tresseetted lb/web
the apparently opaque otheinee of the mete; stadvlien gold
is beaten into thin bathe, mad held up thine a semi light,
It looks rem. The lemegorthey of gold was Mostreted
by a variety of beautiful espementh by meths of the iliebie
lamp. In the fire plain gild belf wee spree wpm shies,
and ten held iw the nee of the bee ere a ethos peso
light wee teen opts the mem. This light eft sot
owing to the trasiothelen of the rays through holes in the
gold leaf, but through the metal itself, the parts whey there
were Imperfections in the leaf being apparent by gags of
whits light. When the gold is still more attenuated, m its
instance when it I. defiaested by the &slurp of a powerful
electrical battery, the colour become more red until it sp•
proximate,' a ruby, of which fact a solution of gold affords
an example, the fits ruby odour being produced by Wants
transparent petiole of gold. The Lecture Theatre was
completely crammed, and the audience expressed their setae
faction by lend cheers.
