people seem to have determined that
the republican party shall be placed
again in power, in order that all the
wrongs of the past year may be right

Effect of Cold Upon Metals.

A series Of experiments was recently
made with a view to testing the rela-
tive strength of metals when heated or
cold. The result was surprising even to
those who conducted the tests. Under a
very low temperature the tensile strength
of many metals was enormously in.
creased. The breaking strain of tin was
increased from 200 pounds to 400
pounds; that of fusible metal from 14O
pounds to $50 pounds. The magnetic
powers of metals seem to be i'll some
way closely related to their tensile
strength, and these as well are many
times multiplied by excessive cold

The Needful Inspiration.

This little story is told of Mrs. Wards
most famous book. When the manu-
script was completed, the hero bore a
name altogether unsatisfactory to the
author. She had fixed on Robert but,
although she went through long lists Of
names, could not get surname which
pleased her. Mrs. Ward was in London
lust then, and her husband playfully
suggested that the fresh air about their
home at Haslemere might bring her the
needful inspiration. "Haslemere, the
novelist repeated dreamily, "Haslemero
-Elsmere! l have it - Robert Els
merer' And so the novel was named.
