The COrrOsiOn OF Iron and Steel.

NJ. Bruner recently communicated to
the Academic DIES Sciences some obser
vatlons on the relative perishability, I'M
der certain circumstances, of cast iron,
steel ana soft malleable iron. Plates of
different composition were immersed
during equal periods in water acidulated
with 0.5 per cent. of sulphuric acid, and
also in sea water, and exposed in moist
air chramate steels were most rapidly
corroded, and tungsten steels less than
carbon steel. In similar conditions cast
iron oxidized less than steel and soft
iron; and white specular iron rusted less
than gray cast iron. Thus hard cast iro n
is the best for withstanding damp air
an observation which agrees with com
mon experience. Sea water GA the other
hand, attacks cast iron moro than steel,
and especially the white specular kind.
Tempered steel stands in sea water bet
ter than the same steel annealed; and
soft steel is less attacked than manga
nese or chromate steel. Acidulated VIA
ter acts upon gray cast iron like sea
water, strongly affecting the more i'm
pure gray cast iron. White specular
iron is not so much affected. These ex-
periments agree with the results OBJ
tanned by Mallet in 1913, and are valua-
BILE as indicating the best kind of mate
rial for iron structures in certain local
ties and for different purposes. The
atmosphere ut Manchester and similar
places is known to have apowerful acid
reaction, and this circumstance may be
taken into acc punt when the material for
lofty exposed structures, such as gas
holder Trainings, has to be decided upon.
Wrought iron steel in such localities
are thus seen to be exceptionally liable
to decay Scientific American.

seriousness, for just behind her a man be
gan to swear in style truly diabolical.
And, as if matters were not already bad
enough, baby set up yell, and would
not be comforted.
The passengers soon got into strange
commotion. The men were dancing and
some of them swearing; the women trem.

dren scrambling under the seats and
blubbering and whimpering. The young
man awoke in amazement. For mo-
ment he thought that the people were
crazy, and that some of them would do
injury to his prehistoric balloon. Then
the conductor burst through the crowd
and stood before the young man. He did
not speak. He leaned over in front of
the young man and opened tho window.
The young man was surprised. The
conductor seized the pre- historic spec-
men and threw it through the window
with all his strength.
'Impertinence! shrieked the young
man. ''how dare you touch my speci-
men?"

tor. "Why, you fool, don't you know

The Door Was Shut.

Stage drivers among the Rockies and
Sierras learn to be as peremptory as they
are daring. and probably from the same
necessity. They will have their orders
obeyed. We passengers were exceeding
ly annoyed by the persistence with
which young Foss the driven de-
manded that the stage doors be kept
closed, particularly when their being
opened caused an appreciable circulation
OF air.
Just as we we're rounding particular
ly narrow turn in the cliff, Foss noticed
that the inside door was again being held
a]ar. Promptly putting on the brakes
and bringing his horses to halt, he de-
seconded.
"Do You see that rock?" he said point
ing to a huge bowlder ahead that barely
left room for the stage to pass.
"What Of it?''
"Only this: Last season a stage was
passing that rock. when somebody
opened the door. The door caught on
the rock, and as it opened further, just
pried the whole business over the cliff,
That little speck way down there is one
of the hind wheels caught on tree.
Now will You keep that door shut?'
It took half an hour to get that door
opened when We got to Calistoga. every

A Singular Character.

One of the strapgest gamblers wto ever
lived, whose idiosyncracies are tradition
among the fraternity" was "Old Dancer"
of New York. He was a strange enough
looking man. His mouth was all one side,
and every time he closed it it looked as
though he would bite off his ear. There
we're good many worse men than "Old
Dancer" Whatever he promised he did.
He was great backgammon player, and
enjoyed winning a dime at stake as
much as 500. He made fortune in the
legitimate way. I'VE split about $4,000
a year regular" he used to say when some
tyro asked whether the bank was in good
or bad luck. He regarded q faro table
with as much reverence as a Chinaman his
Joss house. When he grew old he became
near-s:ghted, but his vanity would not
allow him to wear glasses. He resented it
if any one called him pap" Or uncle. "
At length he could not see the bets. That
was a golden era for "pikers," men who
watch for q good card. The old mans
partners, at last, would not let him deal
any more. He took it hardly, and in q
week died of broken heart

he pleaded guilty il the police court Mon

Musick in Court.

Yesterday Mrs Susan II. Musick filed in
the circuit clerks Office her petition for a
divorce from her husband, Ephrsm.
Eph, it is alleged, wooed and won Mis-
Susan away back yonder in 1874. in the
cold, bleak December OF that year. and that
Miss 8. CONTINUED to live with Eph as his
wife until February, 1878, and during all
that time Miss susan always faithfully de-
meaned herself, and discharged all her du-
ties as the wife of Eph, and at all times
treatsd him with Kindness and affection.
But Eph, it seems, wholly disregarding his
duties as good husband, has absen:ed him
self for long five years. and hasn't pre-
tended to show up in all that time. What
is still worse against Eph, he left little

effecting entrance by reaching through a
broken pane of glass and unbOlting the
window.
The trunk outside OF the sleeping room
was broken open. TIE one on the INSIDE

securing their booty and making their de-
parture without waking the weary Celes-

A BAzoo reporter visited the laundry yes

credible that burglars could have been so
bold or could have succeeded in entering q
room. and breaking open and rifing trpnss

seems to be that the occupants of the room

on this point, they both stated that they
