A NEW METAL.
The Discovery of Germanium, Substance
Found in Silver Ore.

The Discovery of Germanium, a Substance
Found in Silver Ore.
In the reports of the German Chem
ical Society there is an account of anew
metallic element discovered by Clemens
Winkler. 1t occurs in argyrodite,
silver ore from the Himmelsfurst mine,
near Freyberg. Germanium, symbol
&c, has great resemblance to anti
mony, though it is distinguished by GER
tain well-marked reactions. If the sui
phide is heated in the absence of air, g.
g., in a current of hydrogen, it forms a
blackish crystalline sublimate, which at
a higher temperature melts to brownish
red drops. This sulphide dissolves in
ammonium hydrosulphide, and is re-
precipitated with white color by hy-
drochloric acid, and is again redissolved
by ammonia. If arsenic or antimony is
present, the color is yellow. If heated in
air, or treated with hot nitric acid, the
white germanium oxide is formed, which
is not volatile at red heat. The oxide
dissolves in potassium hydroxide. If
this solution is slightly acidified, it gives
a white precipitate on treatment with
hydrogen sulphide. The oxide is easily
reduced by hydrogen; the sulphide less
easily. The metal is gray, volatile at
full red heat, though less readily than
antimony. The vapor deposits small
crystals like those of iodine, which dc
not melt. In current of chlorine the
metal yields white chloride, which is
more volatile than antimony chloride
The acid solution gives white precipi'
tate with hydrogen sulphide. Herr
Winkler is determining its atomic
weight, with view to determine 1T

there was going to be fight. l hid

WOODEN SHOES.
The Dutch Settlement in New York Where
They Are Manufactured.

They Are Manufactured.
In the town of Clymer, N. T., there
is a large settlement of Hollanders, the
older members of which brought from
their fatherland the simple manners
and industrious habits which have al
WAYS been characteristic of that
phiegmatic race. Nearly without ex-
ception they are engaged in general
farming and dairying, and to supple
ment their farm labors they make the
wooden shoes or clogs which are SO
closely allied to the typical Dutchman.
In no other place in the Union is this
industry carried on so generally or to
the same extent. During the coldest
days and the long evenings of the win
ter the Hollanders ply their knives and
shaves almost without cessation. The
business is really a monopoly, and of
late it has proved rather profitable, the
demand for the shoes for decorative
purposes enhancing their value and
largely increasing the demand. Bass
wood and cucumber are the woods
used, and each shoe is bored and cut
from single block, and they become
SO well seasoned that well-made pair
is well-nigh indestructible by ordinary
use. The Hollanders, in their settle
ment, preserve the language of Their
native land to large degree, though
the younger generation adopt the Gus
toms and language OF this country
