According to The Commercial buiistih
some of the English iron founders have
adopted a simple practice in maksns
stronger castings. The method is merely
the introduction of thin sheets OF wrought
iron in the center of the mold before cast
ing This idea was first applied to the
casting OF thin plates for the ovens OF
cooking stoves, and sheet of thin iron III
the center of a 14-inch oven plate renders
it practically unbreakable by fire. Recent
" the process has been applied to the cast
ing of large iron pipes, core OF sheet iron
imparting additional strength and lessen
ing the liability to fracture. As an evi-
dence of an additional strength that may
be impaired by this process it isstated that
a plate of iron one-fourth of an inch thick,
cast with a perforated sheet of "a wire
gauge wrought iron in the center possess-
es six times the strength of similar cast
plate with no core The lll-inch plate thus
made has the strength of plate one inch
thick

il is dist r be d COMBUSTION OF SODIUM
and takes the ~ "AiEN
form Of a small brilliant sphere. Great eff
iervescence is also produced as it floats
along, for it reduces the water to a com
mon temperature by its contact. By de.
grees the small metallic ball disappears
from view alter blazing into flame, as
shown in the cut.
This remarkable experiment is very easy
to carry out, and sodium is now easily pro-
cured at any shop where chemicals are
sold. The combustion of sodium in water
can be explained in a very simple manner.
Water, as we know, is composed Of hydro
gen and oxygen. Sodium, by reason Of its
great affinity for the latter gas, combines
with it and forms very soluble oxide.
The hydrogen is released and thrown of,
as we shall perceive by placing lighted
match in the jar, when the combustible
gas igrites.
Oxide Of sodium has great affinity for
water. 1t combines with it, and absort,s
it in great quantities. 1t is solid, white
substance, which burns and cauter2es the
skin. 1t is also alkaline, and brings back
the blue color TO itmus paper that has
been Redeemed by acids. Sodium combines
easily also with chlorine If plunged into
jar containing this gas it is transformed
into sttiyatance which is sea salt. We
know that raustfc soda, or oxide Of sodium,
is an alkaline product possessing very pow
erful properties; it burns the skin and de-
stroys organic substances.
