For a long time natures hints were

Tests Of this alloy have been made
BY competent authorities, and the

ton and increased strength. As an
example Of the superiority of this
nickel steel fhe following results of
ono Of the tests may be given: A
steel containing A. per cent Of nickel
showed an ultimate strength of 80
per cent. and elastic limit Of 60 to 20
Per cent. higher than those of mild
steel, with nearly equal ductility,
and tho valuable quality added Of
less liability TO coirosion."
The authority who obtained these
renarlxable results adds; Think for
= moment Of this in connection with
tho erection oi tho Forth bridge or Of
the Eiffel tower. II the engineers
q those stupendous structures had
ned at their disposal q metal of forty

And Sir Frederick Abel, In hispre

is wholly inaudible to any one else. 1t is
high time that the use of receiving in

preserve the secrecy of communication,
which ought to be one of the all impor

There are thousands of ex-operators and

them from obtaining information of other

Athletes and men who take ordinary outdoor
