Transparency OF MOLTEN METALS

"a " SSSSe
ago, regarding the transparency Of heat
cd iron, has given rise to much talk
but we have not yet seen it confirmed
by the statement of any other compe-
tent eyewitness. Meanwhile, however,
many assertions have been made as to
the transparency of metals, when melt
ed and the evidence on this point be-
gins 10 stagger the Swans. 1t so hap
pens, that, so far us we are aware, no
professional chemist or educated physi-
cist has yet testified to the phenomenon
as actually observed by him. 1t is mere
" said, in various quarters, to be a fact,
well known to the workmen employed
in melting and moulding certain metals.
We deem it therefore, important to men
ton the first authentic endorsement
which has come to our notice. NJ. Paul
NORM, the accomplished chemist in
charge of the Aluminium Bronze Works
near Paris, asserts that the melted alloy,
when poured into the mould, is trans
parent; and Mr.. I. Sterry Hunt, to whom
the assertion WAS made, and who saw
the operation performed, assures US that
the appearance Of the molten stream
seemed to corroborate the statement.
There is = possibility OF optical illusion

self intensely luminous, to discover
whether il is transparent. We suggest
that the question may be easily settled
by the means employed TO show the
transparency Of ordinary flame, namely,
by burning magnesium, or in some other
way producing u more brilliant Iight
behind it. The aluminium bronze IS
remarkable for two things, among other
qualities, which distinguish. 1t from Or
binary allows. One is the intense tenn
perature developed by the union oil the
two metals, and the other is the extreme
Huidity of the molten compound. fer-
hans these qualities may be connected
with the alleged phenomenon oil trans
parency. Copper may also be trahspa-
rent in the fluid state but, in pouring
i, into moulds, it often oNidlzes very
rapidlv and the whole liquid mass is
believed TO be filled with disseminated
particles of the red oxide OF copper,
which is opaque. Whether from this
cause or not, we cannot say, but the
evidence as 10 the transparency OF mott
en- copper. as likewise in the case Of
other metals, is still conflicting and in-
conclusive.
DESPERATE CoNFLIcr.-A desperate
conflict took place yesterday between q
Freuchman and three Cinnamon, in
Flowery District. The Freuchman has
n little w~ood-rauch, and the Cinnamon
have been cutting wood on it, against
the Frenchman's wishes. Yesterday the
Frenchmau tried TO prevent them taking
any more of his wood, but the China
men made fight, and beat the French
man terribly. One of the Cinnamon
was shot in the face with a load Of
buckshot. Sheriff Mulcahy removed
him to the County Hospital, and de-
scribes his face rs in q most horrible
condition. All the other parties are
under arrest, to avail an investigation.
The Frenchman's name is y. Hermite.
