The New and Rare Metals.

Urallum Is a new metal, possessing
some very promising qualities, but
whether it will ever be found in suffi-
cient quantities to be of commercial
value is question for the future to de-
termine. 1t is. next to silver, the whit
est metal known. 1t is as malleable as
the purest platinum, but much more
ductile, and is nearly as soft as lead.
It's melting point is about the same as
platinum, but it is not volatile. Its
specific gravity is 20.25, and it's molecu-
lar volume, like that of mosmium, pla-
tinum and palladium, is 6.25. Its
atomic weight is 1929. 1t has nearly
the same chemical propertie as pla-
few years since by M. Guyard, in some
com mercial platinum obtained from
Russian ores from the Urai Mountains,
whence it's name.
Indium is rare and expensive metal.
Like the above, it is of brilliant silver
white luster, which it retains even in
moist air. 1t is very soft and delicate,
and easily scratched. 1t was originally
detected in the zinc blende of Freiberg,
by Richter, and others, in 1860. 1t has
been found since in the fue dust of the
zinc furnaces of Gosler. but it is more
easily prepared from crude metallic
Zihc than from any of the original ores.
1t can be easily subllmated to beautiful
brilliant crystalline scales. The princi-
pal feature of this metal is its excessive
cost. It is comparatively the most valu-
able of known metals, one pound of it
equaling in value eight and one-half
pounds of gold, or 135 pounds of silver.
This immense value is based princi-
pally upon its rarity, no doubt, as It's
practical value in the arts cannot be

It's seldom an artist in topical song
Neglects an available phrase,
And it's strange that his verse should have

This one of mems commonest ways.

Where from table folks SO with the larks,
He insists on his say ana you can't freeze him
out;
He rises-and makes some remarks.
The infant precocious. that very bright boy,
Whose knowledge is not all from books,
Has laid for the young man, his dear sister 5

pin which he carefully crooks.
The youth full of happy expectancy comes,
An ember, compared to most sparks;

huns,
He rises-and makes some remarks.
The family man cts again the old tale),
Is Weakened from much needed rest,
By tune that is presto crescendo: a wall
That rouses dire woe in his breast.
He feels for his slippers with timorous feet
His shin by the bedside he barks,
He knows that the baby must travel its beat;
He rises and makes some remarks.
There are numerous people whose lots seem
to be
In places uncommonly rough:
The man who is kicked by mule In his glee,
The man who is called on bluff,
The swain who is chased TO the top Of the fence
By the dog who terociously barks,
Give vent to their feelings in language intense;
They all rise-and make some remarks.

A Nebraska Idea of Fun.
From the Omaha World Herald.

ETOnl lnt Omana " OTIu-HeTaIu.
A rather funny incident occurred on
Sixteenth and Dodge Streets, yesterday.
1t was where the motor cars pass, and
as gentleman alighted the conductor
told him to look out for the other car.
The passenger did not understand him.
He turned around and asked:
"What did you say Pr
Just then the other motor struck him
and knocked him about five feet toward
the curbstone on the opposite side Of
the street from where he wanted to go.
AS he got up and rubbed the bruised
spots he was heard to mutter:
Il wonder what that fool said.'

Conductors Need Not Furnish Change.

A Pennsylvania judge recently rem
dered decision which Is interesting to
all persons who ride in street cars, and
the city railway companies as well. 4
passenger rendered a s. bill in payment
of his fare on q Philadelphia Car. The
conductor could not change 1t, and after
an alteration put the passenger off the
car. The passenger brought suit for
assault and battery against the con-
ductor. In his charge to the jury the
judge said:
when a passenger gets on n street
car it is his duty to pay his five cents
fare, and if he cannot pay it it is his
duty to get off. The conductor has a
right to use as much force as is neces-
sary to put him off. ANY man who has
500 dollar bill, if the rule were other
wise, might ride around in street cars
for the balance of his life without pay
ing fare"
Under these instructions the jury ac-
quilted the conductor The railroad
companies of Philadelphia are greatly
pleased with the result Of the suit. They
say that they have lost large number
of fares simply because passengers per-
sisted in handing conductors bills of so
large an amount that they were unable
to break them. The president Of one of
the roads stated that he knew Of man

lot larger ana shaped like many a sea-
shell, as impudent as her pertly raised nose.
She looks fashionable 10 an extreme, but
not lady, and this is exactly what she
aims at, for in the play she sustains the
character of an ex-ballCt dancer, welded to
a wealthy, robust, poll e inspector of the
Defeating orGer-a lG Ky young woman,

ings for long skirts.
All New York has become familiar with

Her pretty, disturbed face looks at us
from billboards all along Broadway and
at frequent street corners.
When the new Garden theatre was
opened, quite ripple Of anticipation agi-
tated the minds of playgoers when it was
advertised that she was to play the lead
ing role, for it was some time since she had
appeared on the stage. she had taken
several trips 10 Europe, breaking contracts
with an incorsequence that had become
proverbial, and except for paragraphs ap-
pearing occasionally in the papers regard
ing her gowns, the size OF her foot, or her
opinion on things European, she had virtu-
ally retired to private life.
Best remembered Of her successes in
comic opera is Bettina in the Mascot"
She sang the part in German at Amberg's
theatre, and made "A pronounced hit in it.
Here she is in the 'shreds and patches"
of the poor goose girl, passionate, willful
hoyden able TO strike out from the shoulder
when the village boys attempt TO kiss her
against her will, capable OF expressing
more in shrug, or glance through her
tangled hair, than many women in an eight
page letter.
There is talk of putting this on at the
Garden after "Dr. Bill" when others than
the German speaking portion of New
York will have an opportunity of seeing a
Bettina that the composer would go into
ecstacies over.
In private life, as Sadie Martinez, when
she plays no part but that nature assigned
to her, she is even more successful, and has
turned the heads of many prominent New
Workers.
Though Bohemian heart and soul, and
fond of roaming the world over, she has
a thoroughly comfortable, well appointed
home in Twenty-third street to return to
when she is in a restful mood. 1t is pre-
sided over by her mother. and stands not a
