Silveroid is the trade name given to q
new, close-grained, brilliant, white alloy,
regarding the composition of which little
is known beyond the fact that cadmium
enters into it. It is intended to take the
place of the brass, bronze, and gun
metal classes of alloys, and if all turns
out to be true which is spoken in its
favor it will soon do so, especially in the
manufacture of articles which must be
strong and capable of taking a fine
polish.

As to the periodicity of the maximum
and minimum Of sun spots Prof. Young,
of Princeton, discards the hypothesis
which ascribed it to planetary influence,
and deems its more probable that the
cause is solar-that the forces in the sun
accumulate and, as it were, boil over at
recurring periods with the same irregular
regularity as the spouting Of geyser.

A process for nickel plating without
the battery has been described by Stolba'
who claims that by means of it he is able
to coat satisfactorily small articles OF
zinc, cast and wrought iron. steel, and
copper. A concentrated solution OF
chloride of zinc, diluted with twice its
volume of water, is boiled in q copper
vessel, adding few drops OF murlatlc
acid should there appear precipitate OF
basic chloride of zinc. When the in
PRODUCTION of small quantity OF pow
dered zinc causes deposit of zinc upon
the vessel, enough chloride or sulphate
of nickel is added to the bath to give it q
distinctly green color, and then the pre-
viously cleansed articles are plunged
into the liquid in contact with zinc,
where they are allowed to remain for
about Is minutes, the boiling tempera'
ture being kept up meanwhile. Ii the
objects are not at first coated sufficiently,
the immersion is repeated until the
desired thickness of deposit il obtained.

unique and have won the unqualified
approval of the most cultivated audi

voice, and the ability to bring his va
rious characters before the audience in
a realistic manner. We trust he may
also favor his hearers tomorrow night
by singing a few specimens of the mel
odies sung by the CreOles. Mr.. Cable
has been reading with Mark Twain the

to be a mere elOcutionary display, but
an author meeting with his readers

tended. The speaker of the evening
was j. A. Paddock of this place, who
gave an account of the stOrming of ST.
Mayre's Heights and the part taken by
the Vermont brigade in that fight.
1t was a clear, interesting story, the
substance of which will appear in the
next CaledOnian. Mr.. Paddock in his
remarks alluded to COmrade John Nc
Donald, a member of one of the bat
teries in that fight, and he was called
up to give an account of the working
of a battery in the action, which he
gave in a thrilling manner in fact, in
Johns own way, which stirs his listen
ers up to pitch of enthusiasm only
exceeded by his own, and he closed
amid roar of applause. He was fol-
lowed by brief remarks by M. Mont
gomery, who gave an account of re-
crossing the river on the pOntOon
bridges. At this point the ladies of
the relief corps announced that the
sugar was ready and the fight was car
ried into the banquet room, and al
though the attack was sharp, the at
lacking party were obliged to retreat,
which they did in good order. The
supper was followed by music and
short speeches, which helped to make
up a very interesting evenings enter
