The attention of the public is earnestly drawn to the
suffering consequent on the terrible calamity produced by
the recent colliery explosions.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are greatly needed to relieve the
numerous families made destitute thereby.
The amount required to meet the memorable Hartley.
Colliery Accident in 1862 was £50,000 ; in that case 204
men and boys lost their lives ; in the present instance
double that number are known to have perished, there-
fore to make a suitable provision for the families depen-
dent upon them about £lOO,OOO will be needed. At the
final distribution of the surp'us of the Hartley Fund,
£3,140 was allotted to the districts in which the present
accidents occurred, and this sum is now available towards
the fund now being raised.

Heating, Roiling, Hammering, and
Annealing Metals.

Elaborate experiments and careful observations
have developed many interesting and important
facts with regard to the variations of density, &c.,
which different metals undergo in different degrees
in the operations of heating, drawing, rolling,

hammering, and annealing.
At a temperature rather above a cherry-red, iron
will remain three months, surrounded with charcoal,
without cementation taking place, while a white
heat will in five minutes render brittle a square bar
of malleableiron, eight-tenths of an inch in diameter.
Wires of copper, and of alloys of copper and zinc,
are increased in diameter, and diminished in
density, by annealing. The operation of rolling
conduces metals more than that of wire drawing.
The density of iron and copper will be greater if
the metals are heated before being passed through
the rollers. The reverse is the case with alloys
of copper and zinc. The density of metals is
greatest when drawn into very fine wires. Hence
two small wires are stronger than one large one
of the same transverse area with the united areas
of the small ones. This result grows out of the
fact that the particles of the smaller wires are com-
pacted throughout their entire cross section, while
those of the latter are thus compacted for a certain
depth only.
Wires may be increased in length in two ways
—first, by diminution in the case of its cross sec-
tion ; and, second, but only in a slight degree, by
increasing the distance between the component
particles. When wire is lengthened by the latter
process, it returns to its former length by anneal-
ing.
Again, wires of certain different metals, after
passing though the same hole in the wire-draw-
ing plate, have different diameters, but all such
subsequently acquire equal diameters during the
process of annealing. The diameter of a wire is
said to increase very slowly by time after passing
through a wire-drawn plate. Wires which have
been bent, and Subsequently straightened, have a
tendency to re-acquire the same curvature by time.
Wires exposed to a high heat lose part of their
tenacity. They require to be annealed in wire
drawing, not to render them more tenacious, but
to allow the particles to resume the positions from
which they may again be displaced.
Hydrogen has an action on copper and silver, at
• high temperatures, which permanently separates
their particles. On alloys of copper and zinc, and
even silver and copper, it has no such action--Iron
t Age.
