COMBUSTIBlLITY OF IRON,
Conditions Under Which the Metal vii
Burn Readily.

Combustibility is not generally con
sidered one of the properties of iron
yet that metal will under proper condi
tons burn readily. The late Prof
Magnus. Of Berlin, Germany, devise,
the following method of showing tn,
combustibility of iron: A mass of iror
filings is approached by a magnet of con
siderable power, and a quantity there
OF is permitted to adhere to it. Thi,
loose, spongy tuft Of iron powder con
talns a large quantity of air imprisoned
between its particles, and is, therefore,
and because of its extremely commin
uted condition, well adapted to mani
fest its combustibility. The flame a
an ordinary spirit lamp or Bunser
burner readily sets fire to the finely di.
vidcd iron, which continues to burr
brilliantly and freely. By waving the
magnet to and fro the showers O.
sparks sent off produce a striking anc
brilliant effect.
The assertion that iron is more com.
bustible than g%unpowder. hasit origin
in the following experiment, which is
also a very striking one: A little alec
lol is poured into a saucer and ignited.
A mixture Of gunpowder and iron fill.
ings is allowed to fall in small quaint.
ties at a time into the flame of the burn.
ing alcohol, when 1t will be observed
that the iron witt take fire in its pas
sage through the fame, while the gun.
powder will fall through it and col.
lect beneath the liquid alcohol
below unconsumed. This. however,
is a scientific trick, and the expert.
mcnt hardly justities the sweeping
assertion that iron is more combustiblt
than %gunpowder. The ignition of the
iron under the foregoing circumstances
is due to the fact that the metal palti.
cles, being admirable conductors O,
heat, are able to absorb sufficient heat
their passage through the flame
and they are consequently raised t.
the ignition point. The particles of thu
y%unpowder, however. are very poo,
conductors Of heat. comparativel,
speaking, and during the exceedingly
brief time consumed in their passage
the fame they do not becoms
appreeiably, OF certainly not t.

circumstances, gunpowder is vastly
more intiammable than iron.
Another method Of exhibiting tn,
'ombustibility Of iron, which would
appear to justify the assertion that Il
S really more combustible than gun.
is the following: Place in a re.
tube Of Bohemian glass guam.
ity Of dry. freshly-precipitatsd ny.
ferric oxide. Heat this oxide
o bright rednsss, and pass a current
I hydrogen through the tube. The
iydrogen will deprive the oxide Of it.

Gnmg. III seemed a great while SINCE Curran
had left the office for the labor meeting, and
he had not so far to 60 Something might
have delayed the terrible disclosure for few
moments, but by this timt bhe must surely
have heard the whole story of his shame and
dishonor 1t would stir him to madness His
noble eyes would flash lightnings, and thun-
derbolts of hate and scorn would drop from
his lips. No human being could stand against
the divine dignity of such o mars righteous
wrath. Philip fancied the mob sweeping up
the road behind this outraged husband, seek
ing out his wife for the doom that would
satisfy his mad thirst for vengeance Now,
perhaps, they were bursting i'll the gates, now
breaking down the oaken door. And Philip
could not be there to protect the beautiful
woman who had only sinned through love for
him. How the color would flee her cheeks as
she looked out on the pitiless faces Of the
frenzied mob. There was no arm now to
shield her, none but Curran's, whose love was
now enbittered into hate. There was no pity
only scorn that could grind her fair life, with
out one throb of tenderness, beneath his feet.
Why did she not GOMEZ Philip was almost
wild with mingled terror and hope. He
walked the room like Gagged lion. Now he
rushed to the door and glanced desperately
up and down the street
His horses were champing their bits at her
door, but the light yet burned in her cham
ber There was hardly time to catch the
train at the Lockout station. The wild mob
with the maddened lover, the most terrible
of enemies, at their head would be at her
door in moment. Still other dangers Philip
did not guess threw a gathering shadow
across her path. But she fingered yet.

CHAPTER XXXV.
A POPULAR LEADER.


Market hall was full of excited workmen
when Curran pushed the door open and
stepped in Some would be orator had been
trying to voice the wrongs of the people, but
when the whisper ran along the seats that
Culran was at the door every head was
turned. Then, as if by a common impulse,
the whole audience rose to their feet and the
building seemed to trem.le with the cheer
that burst from the brawny throats. Here
was an orator indeed, a masl who could set
before them their sutferings and wiring their
hearts with self pity; who could make each
soul of them wonder at his own patience.
He made his way slowly up the aisle with
simple greetings for his friends, as they
stretched out their grimy hands to him. But
his smile was so sad and hopeless that every
glad face sobered as he passed. He mounted
the platform and turned his face toward
them He seemed but the ghost of his
former magnificent manhood, but the people
cheered him again, and those in the rear
leaped upon their seats in the eagerness to see
their hero. Then all held their breath to lis
ten; even the girls in the gallery stopped
their excited whispering while they waited
for his grand ringing tones that had thrilled
the faintest hearts SO many times before.
Would he never begins
'What is this meeting for"
The orator his coming had interrupted,
was only too glad to explain.
"We don't get our rights. We get little,
but that's ali, and we mean to fetch the
young boss to his milk tomorrow; don't we,
ladsg'
A shout of eager assent went up from the
crowd. Then all was still again. Now would
come the torrent of words of fame Yes,
Curran had stepped forward to the very edge
of the platform, in his old habit. But who
was the fellow with bandaged head pushing
his way so rudely up the main aisle, as if he
bore tidings! 1t must be ill tidings to make
him in such haste. But Curran had begun to
speak.

Certainly, only wish you had let me
help you get ready.n But her light laugh

had not spoken of, Jane Ellingsworth would
