fashionable summer resort, Milford "
at present greatly exercised in sp'r', oSI'
bannepipg in its religious circles wn'cn nae
cansed widespread and not altogether '"ro'
able comment. A revival OF religion mas
haen in progress in the village lot so"e
weeks. A young girl, whose father Is ;, a
miserable druukard, and whose mother ue
.srtsd her some time ago, has been living
90 a domestic drudge at different places IN
the town. Although scaDty and unpre,,
sentable in apparel, this girl began to attena
the revival meetings, and, as her attend
ance was regular, it was supposed that sEe
was gathering comfort 10 her unenviao'e
lot from the influence Of the sanctuary. n
few DAYS ago she received note from one
of the leading ladies connected VIVID .ne
church and the revival work. The note
was short and to the point. 1t gave notlce
to the girl that unless she couid make Il, !
appearance at the meetings in better cloth-
ing aud with presence more agreeaoto "
the rest of the congregation, she must cease
her attendance altogether. The lay ser
mons that have been drawn from TINS loci
dent are many and pointed, and the cause
of religion in Milford does not seem TO nave
been aided much by it.

II Is OF ancient formation. being COW

been traced on the surface for a dist

HccwliNyitics Of Metals,

link melts at 773 degrees f. and
standard gold at about 2O1G degrees
+. but il less than per cent of silica
be added to gold, it will soften in the
flame OF candle. A trace of anti
mony in melted lead will cause it to
oxidize on the surface much more
rapidly than would otherwise be the
case, and by stirring the mass it is
transformed into kind of paste OK
Idle. Cadmium also promotes the
oxidation of pure meletd lead, and
that too, with a play of most beauti-
full colors. Mr.. Roberts Aurten
proved this by illuminating the sur
face of the melted alloy with beam
OF parallel rays from the electric Ian
tern, and projecting upon the screene
an image of the surface of the molten
mass: as the films of oxide formed
they were removed with a little scrap
er. to make way for fresh surfaces
having somewhat like the color of
shot silk. He stated that it may not
be generally known that copper can
be gilt as well by the application of
an alloy of lead and gold to it's
surface as it can by an amalgum of
mercury and gold. On application
of heat the copper absorbs che lead
and the gold is left on the surface.
This process is recorded in a papy-
rus OF the third century. now pre-
served at I.eydcn.
