SHOCKING DEATH.

The obituary announcements in several newspapers
record the death " from the effects of an accident" of Mr.
Walford Greatorex, a gentleman aged only 40 years, and
one of the partners with his aged father, Mr. Jeremiah
Greatorex, in the well-known Manchester warehouse firm
of Bradbury, Greatorex, and Beale, ofAldermanbury. The
circumstances of this gentleman's death, as detailed at a
coroner's inquest held before Dr. Diplock, coroner for West
Middlesex, ace very painful. Mr. Walford Greatorex was a
married man without children. A few weeks since he left
London for Scotland on a tour of relaxation, and while in
the Highlands symptoms of an affection of the brain were
observed by his friends, and under medical advice he was
sent back to London. On reaching his home no improve.
ment was perceptible, and it became necessary to place
the unfortunate gentlemen under medical care in a private
asylum at Sudbury, near Harrow. This was only a few
days since, and on Friday last his father, who resides
in Cleveland-square, and has attained the great age of 85
years, sent one of his man-servants down to Sudbury to
inquire after his son's health. While the servant was
engaged in listening to the attendant's report of his
patient's condition, Mr. Walford Greatorex contrived to
leave the house through the garden unobserved, and with-
out either coat or hat he immediately ran off across the
fields in the direction of the London and North-
Western Railway. His absence was immediately dis-
covered, and chase was made after the unfortunate gen-
tleman, who ran with great swiftness, and actually swam
across the Grand Junction Canal in his efforts to escape
capture. On reaching the railway he went on to the
metals, and there stood with his arms upraised as if signal-
ling the driver of an approaching train (the Bletchley
ballast-train). Being accustomed to receive instructions
from platelayers occasionally,"and believing, from his appear-
ance at a distance, that Mr. Greatorex was a man of this
class who wished to communicate something to him, the
driver, without stopping the train, leant over his footplate and
was in the act of listening for what he supposed would be
instructions, when he observed the unfortunate man dis-
appear under the leading wheels of the engine, by which
his body was literally cut to pieces. The parties in search
came up directly afterwards, and the circumstances of the
calamity were at once apparent. The jury, on a review of
the above facts, returned a verdict of "Suicide while in a
state of temporary insanity."

NEW ARTIFICIAL FUEL.

An interesting despatch from the Governor of
Trinidad to the Duke of Buckingham has been for-
warded to the Society of Arts, recording some
successful experiments made on board her Ma-
jesty's ship Gannet, with a fuel consisting of
pitch from the Trinidad Lake, mixed in cer-
trin proportions with charOal, ground, and then
pressed into bricks. The fuel showed no sign
whatever of adhesion to the bars, or of melting
(defects previously noticed), and the quantity of
clinker was not greater than may often be found in
ordinary steam coal. W ith 65 per cent. of coal
and 35 per cent. of the artificial fuel, the results
were fully equal to coal alone ; so that, as
it can be delivered at half the price of
coal, its use _would effect considerable sav-
ing. The only unfavourable point is that,
whilst the consumption of the mixed fuel
showed 4.351 b. per indicated horse power per hour,
the average of six different kinds of coal was only
3.611 b. The Secretary of th 6 Society of Arts sub-
mitted the report to Dr. B. H. Paul, the consulting
chemist, who devotes his attention chiefly to the
economy of fuel, and he suggests that the utility of
the new fuel might be increased if the large amount
of earthy material in the pitch could be sepa-
rated in the manufacture of the fuel. This earthy
material, which leaves an incombustible ash,
amounts to 25 per cent., according to analysis he
has made of the Trinidad pitch, and it is to the
presence of this material that he would ascribe the
difference in the rate of consumption per indicated
horse power of the prepared fuel as compared with
coal, amounting to about a lb. per indicated horse
power per hour.—Mining Journal.

for the rules, he was told that the rules only applied to
religious life. If he received letters from them they were
signed "Mother Superior," or "Sister Susan." Thert
were many crooked points about them; and should
be condemned; but in the self-devotion of their indivi-
dual agents there was something for them to learn.
None of these institutions or nursing associations would

a great work would be accomplished.
The question of the position of the laity lathe Church was alto

unanimous in its opinion that the safety and welfare of the
Church in the future depended upon the introduction.of the

CITY OF GLASGOW UNION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held ou Tuesday, iu Glasgow ; Mr. J. R. Stewart
in the chair.

The report stated that since the last half-yearly
meeting the contractors had confined their opera-
tions almost entirely to the formation of the bridge
carrying the Shields road over the Pollockshields
Junction, and to the completion of the diversion of
the canal and works in that neighbourhood. The
directors, however, were now empowered by the
approval of the recent meetings both of this and
the other two contributing companies to carry
out the scheme then approved, and the works
on the north side of the Clyde necessary for
effecting a junction with the Coatbridge Railway
would at once be resumed. It had been resolved
to form a passenger station at Dunlop-street
for the accommodation of the Glasgow and South-
Western Railway Company's traffic. This object
would immediately engage the attention of the
directors. In terms of the act of 1867, the shares
raised under the original act, other than those sub-
scribed for by the North British and Glasgow and
Sonth-Western Railway Companies, had been con-
verted into preference stock, the proceeds of which
were devoted to the construction of the stations
at Dunlop-street and the College. The directors
congratulated the shareholders that the financial
difficulties that had so long encumbered the pro-
gress of the undertaking appeared now to have been
overcome, and they looked forward with confidence
to the completion of their scheme.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which was agreed to.
The meeting was then made special for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not an application
should be made to the Board of Trade under " The
Railways' Extension of Time Act, 1868," for an
extension of time limitEd by this company's Acts,
1864, 1865, and 1867, for the compulsory purchase
of lands and buildings required for the undertaking,
and for the completion of works.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the compulsory
powers of the company for the acquisition of pro-
perty would expire in July, 1869, and therefore it
was necessary to obtain au extension of time, the
works having been delayed during the last year by
monetary difficulties. It would be necessary to
appoint three scrutineers to ascertain and record
the proportion of capital held by shareholders in
favour of the application for an extension of time.
Messrs. Leek, Anderson, and l\l'Grigor were ap-
pointed scrutineers; and, after a short adjournment,
they reported that the whole of the returns from
the shareholders assented to the application to the
Board of Trade, and that none dissented.
The CHAIRMAN then declared that the requisite
proportion of assents had been obtained, and that
the application would be made accordingly.

OCCLUSION.

It is stated that the Master of the Mint has,
recently discovered an entirely new property of metals
Having occasion to minutely analyse one of those cur**
messengers from the skies termed meteorites, he
noticed that in addition to certain common metallic
substances it contained hid up or occluded among its
particles the gaseous element hydrogen. Following
up this observation, he soon found that the metals
palladium, platinum, and iron, though well hammered,
and, in common language, perfectly compact, absorbed
many times their volume of various gases in which
they were placed. Not only were these gases not
driven off when the pieces of metal were heated, but
exposure to high temperatures greatly facilitated
absorption. This seemed to indicate that the gas
was not in a mere condition of condensation
within the pores of the metal, but had passed into some
solid state of combination, an assumption that was con.
firmed on exposing palladium containing hydrogen for two
months in a tube from which the air had been pumped,
not a trace of gas escaping from the metal
into the vacuum during that period. That this
property of occlusion is something tangible and
powerful may be gathered from the statement
that, under favourable circumstances, a piece of
of metal can be made to take up several hundred—in one
case nearly a thousand—times its bulk of a gas. To speak of
the value of this discovery would be premature. Let it
stand as a great fact of nature, the application of which
to the wants of man and the incidents of every-day life
will follow in due time. Meanwhile we would honour its
discoverer, Thomas Graham, Master of the Mint, and a,
high priest of science.
