THURSDAY, FEB. II. 1892.
A S,TRAQsSsLER.

we have often heard of people "strad-
ding the fence" in politics but we have
never seen an editor Of newspaper strad-
die an issue so effectively as the editor of the
journal. In the last issue of that paper
The editor says that the editor of this papcr
''makcs personal attack on the editor of
the Journal" and in tie very next breath
says:
"Now as to so much of the above. as
says, that cit goes to much against the
gram to handle our ncighbor so roughly as
ms case dcscrvcS,' we will simply say, that
IL is not our case, which is under consider
alton, but ii is the case of Governor Till.
man and the officers elected in 1899. md
the good people of this State who elected
thcm.'
Now from the two statements how arc
we to say whether the editor is fighting
his own cause or that of Gov. Tillman?
We wish to remind our brother, however,
that we have nothing against him. Our
remarks upon this subject have been con-
fined to Gov. Tilm0n and his administra-
ton; but if our nciGhhOr vents to stand
IN front of the Governor and defend him
for what he has done and what he hasn't
done, VIC have no objections aud VIC will
not be caught crawtshing.
In another place we clip the following
from the Journal:
'lhc SENTINEL announces the wonder
ful fact, that It took the editor Of the Jour-
nal year to get ready to jump on the Sen
TINEL about opposing his views. 1t is no.
very clear whether the SENTINEL meant the
SDp pUltOr'S views (HDyrrDpr Iillnn,,'y
This caps the climax. Whoever heard
OF such thing as newspaper that is
owned and controlled by stock company
or syndicate opposing the views Of those
at the head of the enterprise. We have
been under the impression that the Jour
nal was an avowcd friend and advocate Of
Gov. Tlllman, and if SO, il is hard for us
to understand how the editor of that paper
could have made up his mind to think for
~ moment that we accused him Of taking a
year to get ready to oppose the views of
the Governor. No, friend Chris, we did
not say that, and diI not think of such a
thing. Read our piece again and see If
you don't understand whose views we said
1t took you year TO get ready to oppose.
We don't think the editor of the journal
considered the purport Of this last state
mcnt, or he would not have written it.
Such assertions rs this might make Cover.
nor Tillnan call you "driltwood," and
cause him 10 throw some OF those rccks el
you.
We think the Journal is very inconsistent
in several respects. Ii is a fact that last
year that paper was an ardent admircr of
COL Kcitt, as evidenced by the fact that il
anccs on the Alliance demands. It nub.

ALLOYS AND TEMPERATURES.

Steel and Nickel Change Their Relations
Under the Influence of Cold.
In his presidential address before the
chemical sectioRsQf the British associa-
ton Prof. Roberts Austen spoke of the
consequences of allotropic changes
which result in the alteration of struc-
ture as being very great. The case of the
tin regimental buttons which fell into
a shapeless heap when exposed to the
rigorous winter of st. Petersburg is
well known. The recent remarkable
discovery by Hopkinson of the changes
in density of nickel steel Containing
Twenty-Five per cent. of nickeD (which
are produced by cooling to thirty de-
grees affords another instance.
This variety of steel, after being
frozen, is readily magnetizable, al
though it was not so before; its density,
moreover, is permanently reduced by
no less than two per cent by the ex-
posure to cold, and it is startling to con-
template the effect which would be
produced by visit to the Arctic re-
gions ofa ship of war built in temper
ate climate of ordinary steel and clad
with some three thousand tons of such
nickel-steel armor; the shearing which
would result from the expansion of the
armor from exposure to cold would de-
stroy the ship.
The molecular behavior of allows is
indeed, most interesting w. Spring
has shown in long series of investiga-
tions thatalloys may be formed at the
ordinary temperature, provided that
minute particles of the constituent ele-
ments are submitted to great pressure.
W. Hallock has recently given strong
evidence in favor of the view that an
alloy can be produced from its constitu-
ent metals with but Slight pressure, if
the temperature to which the mass is
submitted be above the melting point
of the alloy, even though it be far be-
low the melting point of the more easi-
ly fusible constituent. A further in
stance is, thus afforded of the fact that
a variation of either temperature or
pressure will affect the union of solids.
