A CHEMICAL PROCEss FOR CONVERTING
Iron INTO STEEL. The Wilmington
papers Of q late date describe an exhib.
ition given by Prof. William Field, Of
new proce" Of converting cast iron iD'
to steel by chemical process. The pro-
cess Is probably secret, but the manipu'
lalion il described. Some hundreds Of
pounds Of ordinary cast iron were first
made, we suppose for the purpose Of com
parison, and then the molten iron was
taken in pots and ladies containing from
twenty to twenty-five pounds, and The
amalgam" put into each. The metal
after being stoyed was ready to be cast
in moulds, and in less than five minutes
after the amalgam was put in the iron
was converted into steel. A number Of
articles were cast from the metal-a bar
Of railroad steel, horse shoes, razor and
a ploWshear The tools we're said to be
Of the best quality. The newspapers re-
port that the steel may be made mallen'
bic by this process or as hard as desired.
II part Of the carbon which cast iron
contains can be removed by chemical
means as described above, the process will
prove as valuable in opposition to the
Bessemer, as the latter was superior in
most respects to the process Of cemenIa-

SECOND DAY-THURsDAY.
The air was quite chilly this morning

all fear Of rain, and caused oYercoats and
heavy shaWls to be in demand. Many Of

quite as large As had been expected by the

All eyes we're Of course riveted on the
Crown Princess who looked very pleasant
and amiable as she returned the greet

gathered round the depot. She wore
this morning dark navy blue trained

knife plaitings. Over this an Overskirt

trimmed with equisitely fine Valen-
ciennes lace. The hat was formed OF

in order to await the Emperor. The
next day we learned the Queen, tired
and worn out, had spent the night quiet

Princess, and Was the strange lady who
accompanied her to Berlin on Sunday
morning. Thanks to our American
quickness, we had an excellent view of
her while our German companions,
swallowing in the Crown Princess, had
not deigned to give the plain woman
glance, and could not even tell how she
looked.

AN UnprettndIng Queen.

A Berlin correspondent, writing Of the
royal party Of Sweden, says
Sunday the whole royal party was ex-
pected in Potsdam. We, though not born
Potsdamers, as every one who is so eager
to tell, are for the time being one of her
citizens, and interested in keeping up
her good name. So, bright and early
indeed an hour too early, for we had for
gotten the hour-we strolled through the
park, which was in all its June glory, to
Wild Park Station, by the new palace.
Learning that the guests we're not ex-
pected until eleven o'clock, we sat lei
surely down on the edge of the platform
that led to the royal waiting-rooms. In
few minutes carriage drove from the
palace directly in front of us, and the
Crown Princess, accompanied by lady
and gentleman, alighted and took the
first train for Berlin, in order to escort
her guests out to her summer home.
With the usual American quickness, and
pro6ting by the knowledge of royal eti-
quette that has been constantly dinned
in our ears for the last four years, we
said to some Germans near: WHO is
the lady with the Crown Princess?"
Her court lady, / suppose" But did
you observe" we persisted that she sat
to the right Of the Crown Princess and
descended from the carriage irst2" "Oh,
yes, but that must have been because
this was an unceremonious drive" Still
we had our unexpressed suspicion, and
venturing to the conclusion, we asked
who was the lady with the Crown.Prin-
cess. But the coachman was as cute as
we were. He shrugged his shoulders
and said, Really, l did not even look
around. It may have been the
Countess Of Bruhl' There was nothing
in the lady's appearance to attract
attention, unless it were the extreme
plainness of her dress. She wore a heavy
waterproof, plain straw bonnet and
black lace veil, her figure was tall and
commanding, but she appeared quiet
and retiring, and stood carelessly in the

Loss of Memory.

The loss of memory during illness or
from some sudden shock has, no doubt,
been observed by every one; but some
curious phases OF it not generally known
can be found in the books and Journals
of physicians. A Scotch Highland wo-
man, long accustomed to use English
language. was placed under the care of
DIR. Macintosh at Edinburgh, during
an attack of apoplexy. She so far re-
covered as to look around her with an
appearance of intellie ence; but the doc
tor conld not make her understand a
word he said. At last it occurred to
him to have one of the attendants speak
to her in Gaelic, her long unused native
torgue; and to that she Immediately
and readily responded. When she re-
covered her health more perfectly, her
Fog ish came back to her. DR. Rush
mentions the case of an italian gentle
man, who died of yellow fever in New
York, and who underwent, during the
mslady, q series of mental changes.
During the first part of his illness he
spoke Eaglish, which had for some time
been his familiar language in that coun-
try during the middle period English
was driven from his mind by French,
which he had learned earlier; and on
the day OF his death he spoke only his
na'ive Italian. .Abernethy, the great
surgeon, told similar story of man
whom he attended, who was born in
France, but had spent the greater part
O his life in England, and had for many
years lost the habit Of speaking French.
An injury to his head brought him un-
der The care OF Abernethy, who OBJ
served that during his illness the man
spoke only French, going back to his
English as he recovered. We all know
how, to the very old and the dying, the
language of their childhood comes again,
and the old scents rise before the dying
eyes like pictures, so that from the re.
covely OF childish peace they go out
across the tide to the unknown, new life
beyond. SIS
