POSSIBILITIES OF NICKEL STEEL.

How Recent Discovery Ha. Enlarged
tic Scope of Iron Structures.
For long time natures hints were
neglected or disregarded, but in 1855
patents were taken out IN England
and Franco by different individuals
for the preparation OF nickel steel.
Tests of this alloy have been made
by competent authorities, and the
effect Of the addition of small per
centages of nickel to steel is seen in
greatly reduced tendency to oxida
ton and increased strength. AS an
example of the superiority of this
nickel steel the following results of
one Of the tests may be given: A
steel containing 4. per cent. of nickel
showed an ultimate strength of so
per cent. and elastic limit of GO to 20
per cent. higher than those Of mild
steel, with nearly equal ductility,
and the valuable quality added of
less liability to corrosion."
The authority who obtained these
remarkable results adds: Think for
a moment Of this i'll connection with
the erection of the Forth bridge or of
the Eiffel tower If the engineers
Of those stupendous structures had
had at their disposal a metal of forty
tons strength and twenty eight tons
elastic limit, instead of thirty tons
strength and seventeen tons elastic
limit in the one case, and, say, TWEEN
ty-two tons strength and fourteen to
sixteen tons elastic limit in the other,
how many difficulties would have
been reduced in magnitude as the
weight of materials was reduced.
The Forth bridge would have become
even more light and airy and the
tower more netlike and graceful than
they are at present
And Sir Frederick Abel i1rhis pres
ldential address at the Leeds meeting
Of the British association, remarked,
1T has been shown by Riley that
particular variety of nickel steel pre-
sents to the engineer the means of
nearly doubling boiler pressures with
out increasing weight or dimensions

Two Kinds of Birds.

Every boy who has indulged the
natural propensity to haunt running
streams and wild, delectable places,
to pursue shy birds and pry in the
secret of their nests, knows full we'll

birds of the woods A student of

SCENES AT A SEANCE.
Demeanor of u Medium While Under the
Control of Spirit Influence.

DemeanOr oil u Medium ~ nile CnOef the
Control of Spirit Influence.
At a seance | have seen one Of the
mediums, a lady, under control as it
is termed, during which she would
sometimes personatea man and some
times woman None but those who
have seen it would believe what a
change comes over the person while
in this condition The facial expires
sion is so changed that at times you
would not recognize In it the face of
the medium. The voice and manner
change, and l4he control" is mas
culine the steps in walking are long
and heavy. the arms swinging loosely
at the sides and all the actions hav
ing every appearance of a man, If
the control" is a woman. the actions
are equally feminine, whether the
medium be Il man or a woman. If
the "contlol' is refined and educated
it is readily distinguished in the ac-
tons, and if of lower order the diff
ference Is equally as marked.
The "contro,s" generally come for
some particular one in the audience
and usually address their first re-
marks to them, sometimes shaking
hands and calling them familiarly by
name One thing remarkable is that
they frequently refuse to tell their
names, but make themselves known
by telling some incident that hap
pened in the life of the one to whom
they are speaking, and which no one
in the audience knows but the per
son being addressed. Of course it is
always a puZzler to the disbeliever
how the medium should know of this
particular incident, wi !ch occurred
years ago and has been half forgot
ten until SO unexpectedly brought to
mind
l have seen this lady under both
male and female, control, and the
difference III facial expression is so
marked as to he almost beyond belief
| have heard her sing in a deep. rich
baritone voice. while naturally it il
difficult for her to sing the lower notes
Of soprano. and have known her to
deliver an able lecture of from 10
minutes to hour which is far be
yond her ability or education to do
when not under this particular "con
troll. which is that of a minister On
one occasion she recited quite a
lengthy poem complete, and on being
told of it after the "control had left
her could not repeat single line
She never remembers what has tran
spired while under control" and
when told of it will hardly be con
vinced, declaring that she has simply
been asleep.
Usually, when the mediums are
passing under CONTROL they appar
emily fall asleep and remain in this
state from to 10 minutes, after
which they make themselves known
to the person to whom they wish to
speak. They will also frequently
hold general conversation with per
sons in the audience While under
control" the physical conditions
seem unchanged, the pulse and tenn
perature being perfectly normal
When the control" begins to leave,
the natural actions Of the medium
are noticed first, then a rubbing of
the eyes as if awakening from a
sleep, a shudder and the control is
gone The mediums seldom feel any
Inconvenience or bad effects from
these peculiar conditions lndianap
