f. STREL.--What is steel? Many people
may deem tho question easy of answer, but
it is really not So 1t was long accepted as a
steel is simply a carbide of iron-that is, a
compound of carbon and iron, the former Gle
ment being present in the compound to the
extent of one to ono aud half per cent. This
chemical definition is now quite superseded.
Steel has become generic term, and of the
genus stee! there arc various species Ordi-
nary steel is carbon steel; but stcely COM
pounds of iron have been produced, which
have the snme general properties as ordinary
steel, the carbon Of which is replaced, either
in whole or in part. by other chemical ele-
ments Thus we have now tungsten steel,
in which the metal tungsten is combined with
the iron maganese steel containing the metal
Manganese and other stcels containing chronii-
nm and titanium. In the cases above men
toned, the steel is invariably compound Of
iron with another metal; it is, in short, an
alloy Other species Or varieties, however,
contain non metallic bodies, as the steel gen
Grating materials. Carbon is one of these
elements, and therefore it is but natural to
suppose that such elements as closely resem-
| lilo it in their chemical properties will be the
most likely to servo in its stead Silicon, or,
as some modern chemists call it, cilicium the
basis of SILICA or flint, is one Of the nearest
chemical relatives Of carbon. Well, the
French chemist Caron has made SILICON steel
Then there is the element boron, full cousin
as it were, to carbon and silicon tho basis Of
ordinary borax. ''
Steel has recently been made in Glasgow Of
most extraordinary hardness and cutting pow
or, when used for tools in turning operations
| In one in stance that has come to my know
ledge, the tool did thirteen times the amount
Of cutting work of an ordinary tool of carbon
steel The process Of making this new stee
is at present kept secret, but there is reason
to believe that it is boron steel.-Oace

The s'yslekeaest Woman, in France.

I Come weeks since, Il man on, his way to
work in Limoges, France, picked up parcel,
and, on opening it, discovered human foot,
which the finder Immediately took to the
Commissairc de Police, who at once institu.
ted an inquiry into the matter While the
police were actively engaged in solving this
mystery, other members were found, which
had been secreted in divers parts Of the town
and suburbs members evidently belonging
to one and the same person-there remained
the head, but this, too, was fund in one of
the public. thoroughlares, although not re-
cognizabIe. This head was photographed
and copies sent to the Commissaires de Po-
lice. NJ. Boudineau, the Commissioner at
BORDEAUX, on looking at the photograph, i'm
mediately recognized the vic'im-it was his
brother
The victim identified, the capture Of the
assassin speedily followed, and I take from
the Courier az Centre these horrible de-
tails:
During the evening of Sunday, June 81,
Bougineau and his wife had desperate quar-
rel, Boudineau violently beat his wife, then
under the influence of drink he fell upon his
bed and went to sleep.
Night came; Boudineau's wife was alone !;
she had before her an inert body weighed
down by drunkenness and sleep; there was
no cry. no struggle to fear Calm, decided
aud resolute, she seized a cord, aud passing
it with rapid movement round the neck of
her husband, strangled him!
From here the horrible work begins. It
is here where this woman displays all
her internal sang ffoid She pulls the body
from the bed to the floor, takes knife, and
in the stiffness of midnight, proceeds to cut
up the body; this, though done somewhat
clumsily, was done with firm hand. The
first parts hacked off are taken and thrown
down in place called Z .Acenue du G'uciifr;
as soon as daylight broke, she stretched the
body at the foot of wall and covered it with
a folding screen. At nightfall she again con-
tinues her horrid task an arm and human
entrails are picked up at Corgnac. But the
heat is great, the parts that remain arc becom.
ing putrid and no time must be lost. The
rest of this horrible affair must be done at
once, and the woman Bourdincau, in broad
daylight wraps up the remaining pieces in a
black cloth, puts the parcel under her arm,
and drops the sickening contents bit by bit.
There remained, however, the head. which
had been hidden in the fue of the chimney
accounting for the blackness of the visage
before spoken of-this was, too, becoming Of
fensive; this horrible ordor may betray her
then. taking the head which she had kept
before her for five days beneath her arms, she
drops it in the street EnconeJe vinuese with
out being perceived
TO this crime the woman Boudiueau has
confessed, and, accompanied by the Police, |
pointed out with horrible cynicisn the places
where she deposited the members of her hus-
bands body.

Fun IN CoURT.-The Fincastle Herald
gets off the following on our worthy Judge Fl
W. Shelley.
During the recent term of the Amherst
Circuit Court, pending the trial of a criminal
case, Bob S. the sheriff, and as good and TO-
vial fellow as ever smiled, was put in charge
of the jury for the night, with the usual in
structions to keep them together, allow no one
to speak to them, &C. I.
Bob, it seems, had read something of law,
and knew that the Court Of Appeals had de-
cided in case reported in one of the Graf
taps, that the sheriff might, on such occasions,
allow the jury to take drink. So, on the
following morning, before breakfast, Bob felt
it his duty to post the jury on the law of the
case, and that it might be the more fnrcibly
impressed upon their minds, ordered jug Of
cold peach"
Bob and the twelve Jurors imbibed freely
in the name Of the law and, by the time
breakfast was announced, had hid" on an
average some fifteen drinks each.
The Court met at 10 O'clock Bob, some
what shaky by this time, marched the jury
into the court room in double file, and, after
conducting them to their seats, cautiously
made Lis way to the Clerks desk where he
took his stand
AS was usual upon the opening of the
Court in the morning, Judge Shelley before
proceeding to the trial Of cases, commenced
delivering his opinions on the merits of chan
Gerry papers submitted the day before Suf-
fering from slight indisposition, the Judge on
that morning was more nervous than usual,
and quite sensitive to the least noise. The
jurors were necessarily noisy after fifteen
drinks before breakfast, and we're cracking
jokes with each other and winking at Bob.
His Homer, after commanding order three OF
four times without success, finally became
disguised, laid down the paper from which he
was reading his opinion, and looked sternly,
almost fercely, at Bob, who with solemn
countenance stood there at the clerk 5 desk
holding to the railing with both hands.
i" Mr.. Sheriff" sharply spoke the Judge,
+" it is impossible to proceed with the bust
ness of the Court until order is restored.
The dignity of this Court mast be pre-
serrcd."
Bob let go the railing, took a lurch out in
to the middle of the courtroom, and, in a
stcntorian tone, exclaimed:
"SILEScE! (hic). This Court Chici will
not allow (hic) its dignity (hic) to be pre-
served"
Of course, after this, the dignity of the
Court was not preserved.
