Some peculiar instances of spontan-
eous ignition of various substances, with
attendant losses of property, would ap-
pear to have been due to simple ignor-
nee of the relations of animal, vegeta-
bic and mineral oils to combustion.
Professor Attfeld points out that the
two former are much safer than the
latter, since they do not ignite at low
temperatures nor give off vapor which,
when mixed with a certain portion of
air, explpdes IN contact with flame; on
the other hand, in their liability to spon-
taneous ignition, when freely exposed to
the air, under certain conditions, they
possess a dangerous property from
which the mineral oils are free. Then,
too, the animal and vegetable oils differ
considerably among themselves, in The
rate at which they cause the generation
of heat on being exposed to air, upon
the surface of fabrics, shavings or other
materials, though all are more or less
liable to this result when spread out IN
thin films, or in any other state of min
ute division. What are known as dry
ing oils are particularly susceptible to
such atmospheric influences, the drying

the oil into a kind of resin by the action

Tie microscopic determination of the
diie.ent qualities of iron and steel is
now regarded as one of the most valua-
bic aids in metallUrgical industries.
Thus the crystals Of iron are double
pyramids, in which the proportion of
the axe 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-
preach more closely the cubic form.
Forged IRON has its pyramids tlattened
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 It's crystals
disposed in parallel lines, each crystal
filling in the interstice between the an
gley 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, mlcroscopically, oflarge
groups of beautiful crystals.

Herr Wenstrom, a Swedish engineer

Herr Wepstrom, a Swedish engineer,
has invented a machine for separating
iron ore, apparently one OF great utility
as an adjunct to the appliances Of iron
furnaces and one for which use can b
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 The
cylinder is a 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
sufices TO offer the necessary action,
but fall of on the reverse side in three
distinct heaps, according to their rich
ness. TIE feeding must be done very
carefully and the ores must first be
crushed. The power required is very
small.

the meaning of the words, and at an

Tie 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 hopeof 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 1.-THE French element,
and to its influence in all social, COM
mercial, political, and educational CEN
tres.

FANCY cards and plaques can be
made more attractive by making vel
vet or satin frames for them. Cut the
frame of cardboard, cover it with mus
lin first, so there will be something to
sew against. Gather or plait the vel.
vet, leaving a ruhle at the edge an inch
wide, then draw it nicely over tnR
cardboard, and finish on the back of
frame. Another pretty way to re-
serve cards is to cut the handle off a
japanese umbrella up close to the
hinge that holds the umbrella open;
hang it as you would a picture, with
the outside against the wall, then de-
tach the ribs of the umbrella from the
cover, and slip the cards underneath,
arranging them to please the fancy.
When finished it makes a very bright,
pretty novelty.
