IMPURITIES IN METALS.
The wonderful Effects Produced Upon
Metals by Foreign Substances.

The Wonderful Effects Produced Upon
Metals by Foreign Substances.
In a recent lecture Mr. w. G.
Roberts-Austen, chemist of the British
mint, remarked upon the wonderful
effects often produced upon metals by
minute quantities of impurities. Slight
impurities in metallic copper would
render ocean telegraphy impossible.
When purified, tin loses its well-known
..cry, or noise, made when bent. A
trace of arsenic increases the fuidity
of lead so that it will roll itself into
small shot in sliding down an inclined
plane. Standard gold melts at about
one thousand six hundred and sixty de-
grees, but if fifth of one per cent. of
Silica be added it will soften in q
candle-flame. A trace of lead added
to gold forms an alloy much dreaded
at the mint, the breaking strain of the
gold being reduced from twenty tons
to five. Some metals have remark
able power of taking up gases, palla-
dium being capable of absorbing nine
hundred times its volume of hydrogen
and giving it out again when heated.
, A remarkable discovery is that an alloy
, of rhodium and lead will absorb nitro
, gen and oxygen, and when heated
give them off with explosive violence
as gun-cotton does.--Arkdnsaso IraU

Maria Ward and John Randolph.

One OF the saddest and most roman
sic love affairs in the social annals Of
Virginia was that of Maria Ward and
John Randolph, of Roanoke. Begin
ming in his early boyhood, it became
the one enthraling passion of his man
hood, filling his wtote being, until, as
he himself said, "he loved her better
than his own soul OF Him that created
it." There is picture of John Ran
dolph in the room of the Virginia His
torical Society, taken at the time when
he was the accepted lover of Maria
Ward. 1t represents a singulariy hand
some youth of 20, his eyes dark and
full of intellect, his mouth beautifully
formed, and over his proud and lofty
forehead fell profusion of dark hair.
The breaking off of the affair is wrapped
III mystery; all We know is that one
summer morning he rode up to the
house, and after long interview in the
parlor. the lady left the room in tears,
while he rushed from the house.
mounted his horse, an rode furiously
away. lie never saw her again; but
one day he approached house where
she was staying while she was singing
In the parlor. Fascinated by the sound
of her voice he lingerc on the porch,
and sent IN from time TO time request
for her to sing one after another
the tender little ballads which
were associated with their loves Maria
Ward sang, unconcious of her lovers
presence, while he rushed frantically
up and down the porch III an agony Of
grief, waving his arms, and crying in
the anguish OF his heart; Macbeth
hath murder d sleep; Macbeth shall
sleep no more!'
Maria Ward married Peyton Ran
dolph, son of Edmund Randolph, who
was Governor OF Virginia, the first At
torney- General of the United States,
and Secretary OF State under Wash
ington. THIS lady was distinguished
for the exquisite grace and fascination
of her manners and her bright wit.
Her portrait repre- ents lovely girl of
sixteen, with wordrous blue eyes, ex-
quisitely delicate complexion, profus-
ion of sunny brown curls, and in the
quaint costume of the last century.
Maria Ward died in 1896, aged AZ
years. All contemporary accounts
unite in describing her as possessing q
singular facination of manners, a
charming sweetness and amiability of
disposition, an enchanting gayety and
esprit, and a peculiar, irresistible, per-
sonal loyliness. At the time of her
death she was still as fresh as the sum-
mer rose, as captivating in mind and
manners as when she enthralled the
passionate heart of John Randolph, of
Roanoke-E l. DidieT in HqrDer'S
Magazine.
