The New Resistance Metal.

The new resistance metal in wire. sheet or
casting is stated TO be very important contri-
hutton TO this class of material, says the New
York Sun. The wire resembles ordinary cop
per wire on the outside, has a pinkish-white
tinge at the surface of fracture. and is very
strong without losing much duetility. The
torsiOn twist shows over so twists in six inches
for an aDnealed wire, which still possesses TO-
600 pounds tensile strength to the square inch,
and hard-drawn wire is said to run to 100 900
pounds tensile strength, with about 40 twists
in six inches. Combined with these mechaR-
zeal qualities this wire is claimed to have re-
sistance 80 times that of copper with tenn
Derature eoeflicient of less than one-tenth that

deserves great praise for her lovely and artistic
work.

Oldest Merchant Ship Ahoat.

Vessels of the last century are almost extinct
a list of some 10000 vessels of 100 tons and
upward showing only three which can rightly
claim 100 years of existence, few others of
about the same age having been more or less
completely rebuilt.
The vessel having the earliest Tecord-the
"Svanem," built in 1777-belongs to this latter
class, having in 1865. after nearly century of
usefulness, been thoroughly overhauled, and
practically. if not entirely, rebuilt says Lloyd's
Shipping Register. She is a small wooden brigan-
tine of Danish origin, and appears to be en-
ployed entirely in inland waters.
Next in order comes the ''Cognac Packet"
though dating from 1892 only, really heads the
list of centenarians, rs she is in her original
condition-ordinary repairs, of course, ex-
cepted-and bears the further distinction of
being the oldest ship now classed at Lloyd's.
her class of AE l having at the end of 1890
been extended for further term of four years,
after special survey at Harwich.
small wooden brig, named the Eliza"
runs her very close, having been built at White
haven the same year, but her condition does
not appear to justify class at Lloyd's. She
registers 100 tons net, and is at present owned at
Belfast.
The Hannah" wooden brigantne of 10S
tons, comes next, with SO years 10 her credit,

Ever as 7, that child's Defendant,
Ring the bells from day TO day,
So my iong-ago ancestor
Rang the fieeting hours away.
"And the story that tell you
Has come down from sire 10 son,
Twill be told and oft repeated
Long AS Mechleu bells rung."
So OLD Clock len tells the story;
So he ends and then the bells
Chime out gladly, chime out Gayly.
High and sweet their music swellss
O. The Ginning bells of Mechlin,
Making music all the dayi
Ringing out The hours and
Ringing weeks and months await
Through past years their notes come swelling,
Future years with chimes to greet,
Welcoming with sofiest music,
And with echoes low and sweet.

They claim that if the products were sold st

paying good, but they argue that if these small
fruits be set out that the ground between the
rows can be used for growing root crops.
