Mr.. Deville, whose discoveries in relation to
aluminium have recently created quite stir in
the scientific world, has FOR long time been en-
gagged in the preparation of work upon the
pure metals, produced and melted by processes
of his OWN. In the course of his researches he
has discovered that two metals nickle and CO.
balt possess, contrary to the general belief the
useful properties of malleability and ductility
in very remarkable degree, and also an ex-
traordinary tenacity, far superior to that of
iron, which has hilbert been supposed to possess
this quality more perfectly than any of the
metals From M. Vertheim's experiments on
wires of equal diameter made of iron, nickel,
and cobalt, it appeared that the weights which
determined the rupture of the several wires
we're respectively as the numbers 80 for iron, 80
for nickel, and lis for cobalt. This would es-
tablish for cobalt tenacity almost double that
of iron.
