The microscopic determination of the
different qualities of iron and steel IS
now regarded as one of the m0st valua-
bic aids in metallCrgical Industries
Thus the crystals Of iron are double
pyramids, in which the proportion OF
the axes to the bases varies with the
quality of the iron; the smallness OF the
crystals and the height of the pyramids
composing each element are in proper
ton to the quality and density OF the
metal, which are seen also in the fine
ness of the surface; and as the proper
ton of the carbon diminisheS in the
steel, the pyramids have so much the
less height. In pig-iron and the lower
qualities of hard steel the crystals ap-
proach more closely the cubic fern.
Forged iron has its pyramids hattened
and reduced to superposed parallel
leaves. whose structure constitutes what
is called the nerve of the steel; and the
best quality of steel has all Its crystals
disposed in parallel lines, each crystal
filling in the interstice between the an
giles of those adjoining, these crystals
having their axis In the direction of the
percussion they undergo during the
working. Practically good steel has
the appearance, mIcrOscopically, OF large
groups of beautiful crystals.

The question whether or not the Eng
lish language would wholly supersede
the French in Canada has been much
discussed by educators in that country.
The latest opinion on the subject is that
of Professor Rivet, who, in an address
before the University of New Bruins
wick, maintained that the hopeo of doing
away with the French language,
although the French-speaking class
formed only one-third of the population
of Canada, must be abandoned forever,
and that the fact Of there being two
languages In Canada must be distinctly
recognized. He said this was due to
the rapid increase of the French element,
and to its influence in all social, COM
mercial, political, and educational GEN.

Her, WenstroD,. a Swedish engineer,


Herr Wenstrorl, a Swedish engineer,
has invented a machine for separating
iron ore, apparently one of great utility
Us an adjunct to the appliances OF iron
furnaces and one for which use can be
found at rolling mills and engineering
works. A hollow cylinder is caused to
rotate horizontally by means OF cog
wheels at its ends. In the centre OF tue
cylinder is kind of drum of iron bars
which is made highly magnetic by an
electrical apparatus. Iron ores are fed
over the cylinder as it rotates, and the
fragments adhere to it so long as the
magnetic action of the iron drum
suflices to offer the necessary acton,

distinct heaps, according to their rich.
ness. The feeding must be done very
carefully and the ores must first be
crushed. The power required is very
small.

dissolved. Allow the solution to stand
