WELDING METALS.

By Simple Pressure at Temperature.
Below Their Fusinx Point.
The Royal Society of Belgium has pub
lished some additional facts in regard to
the welding OF metallic bodies by means of
simple pressure at temperatures far be-
low their fusing point, In these re-
searches the plan pursued was to put the
metals in the shape OF cylinders bounded
by plain surfaces, great care being also
taken as to their purity, and having been
mounted and welded together by means Of
a hand screw. they were placed In q heat
ing oven and placed at a constant tenn
perature between 200 and 400 degrees
for from three TO twelve hours. The re-
suit, as detailed, shows that the most per-
feet joints We're produced with gold, lead
and tin, while the worst were with bis
muth and antimony. Two cylinders thus
welded together could be put in a lathe.
one OF them only being beld in the chuck.
while the other was being worked upon
by cutting tool. without coming apart
They could be separated with the aid OF
pincers, but. then, a rough breakage was
produced, which did not coincide with
ths original plan OF separation. 1t ap-
peared, too, that the more crystalline the
bodies, the less is this phenomenon of IN
cipisnt liquefaction exhibited, the COM
mencement OF its appearance in the case
of platinum, for instance, being at 1,60O
degrees below its fusing point-that such
q liquefaction. or sOftening, actu ally
took place being abundanuy proved by
experiment.

A great crowd had collected, singing

drum about four feet high. ou the top oi
which was stretched piece OF skin about
a foot in diameter. He hit this near the
edge with the palm Of his hand near the
wrist, producing a compa ratively deep
note. and with his fingers in the middle
to produce q higher note. He always
tiitimped IL III three time-lOw note once,
high note twicc-ESth unvaryiug regu-
larity. and with absolute indifference as
to whether the crowd around him were
singing in four time or three. The sing
ing was much OF the character We had
heard before only here the tsIiors and
basses were more or less separated into
groups, and at times the singing was in
parts. like q catch, different people COM
ing in at different times. Sometimes
there would lie solos, with the chorus
singing wcr! or two at intervals, cnd
q regular chorus at the end of each verse

He Heard Story About His Wife, but
Was Afraid to Ask Her.
There Is one married man living who
was badly frightened the other night.
He sent q note TO his wife about 9 O'Clock
to say that he would not be home until
late. The messenger boy when he de-
livered the note to his wife happened to
mention that he had gone TO the wrong
house, aud had been very wrathfuIly treated
by a man for distur bins him. The
wife read the note, which was on a scrap
OF paper She thought a minute. Then
she said to the messenger boy:
''Tl give you shilling if you will
take the note back TO my husband, aud
toll him that story without saying that
you came here at all"
The boy pocketed the money and weat
back to the husband with the note.
We'll. why do you briug this back?"
he asked
Because they wouldn't take it. A man
came to the door and told me IL I didn't
go away he would break my neck for me-"
The husband did not stay out late that
evening. On the contrary, he got home
as fast as the underground train could
take him. He looked slIspiciousiy at his
wife and said:
Il sent note, but the boy must have
taken it to tie wrong house,
II suppose so,'' said the wife, tuno-
Gently. Il haven't got it,"
The man was dying to find out II any
one had called. but he was afraid 70 ask.

JAPAN WILL Be FAVORED
Chinese Treaty Puts Her On Equal
Terms With Other Powers.
Consular Courts win Be Established
in the Celestial Empire. But None
in the Flowery Kingdom.

Word reaches the Japanese legation that
the new Japanese minister at Pekin has
begun the negotiation OF q treaty of COM
merce and navigation with China, and that
everything is moving smoothly, without
the difficulties that had been contemplated.
This new treaty follows the treaty OF
peace made at Shimonasaki, which briefly
recited that when peace was fully restored
a new commercial treaty would be form ed.
II is an important document, as it gives in
detail the terms on which China Is to be
opened to commerce, whereas the peace
treaty rccited only the general fact
The negotiations have proceeded for
enough TO show that Japan will have the
favored nation clause as to commerce
This win be tho first time China has granted
this clause to Japan 1t assures to Japan
the lowest rate OF duty on articles sent
TO Japan that the latter country exacts from
any other country. Japan is thus placed on
equal terms, fo- the first time, with Great
Britain, the I .;:ates, aud other great
powers.
Another fe;.;s the new treaty is the
establishment ur Japanese consular courts
in China for :he trial OF Japanese. This is
toinsure the Japanese against the crude5udi-
cial system and harsh puulshments OF
China, and is similar to the consular courts
that other leading nations maintain inChina,
But as Japan has raised her judicial system
to q high plane, abolishing all relics Of
brutal punishrnents, there is fou nd to be no
need OF foreign courts in Japan.
Great Britain and the United States have
agreed to abolish their consular courts in
Japan, and following this new order Of
things, Japan viii not let Chiaese consular
courts be established there, although
they insist that Japan should have the same
protection as other powers against the crude
methods OF justice in China

MURGER'S CLAIM TO FAME.
His Originality Denied and His Tragic
Fate Lamented.

Fate Lamented.
A statue, we see, has just been erected
in the Luxembourg gardens 10 Henry Muir
ger, the author of that WE de Bohemer
which has survived SO many better books
and which seems destined, on account OF Its
mingled pathos and gayety, to live on as
classic, says the London Saturday Review.
Murger does not deserve immortality. One
cannot even pretend that he was original
The Mimi Pinson' OF De Musset appeared
in 1s45, and the Vie de Boheme." with its
Mimi, Musette, and Phemie, first saw the
light in 1s47. In truth, Murger was a sor
of photographer rather than a creative
artist. Weknow now that all his characters
were taken directly from life; that Alex
andre schaunard, for instance, was a real
person, and that the famous essay upon
"The influence of blue on the arts" was
written and delivered by him. Yet Murge
has caught and rendered-in rocco fashion,
If you will-something of the passionate
though transient sorrows and Joys of
student life. He has touched all out hearts,
for all OF US remember those paradis perdus
of youth.
What tragic fate was his-to win fame
at twenty-five with book that set all
longer repeating himself. He found witty
words to hide his poverty of intellect,
this poor Murger. After his second story
had appeared IN the Revue des Deux Mondes
Bulos, one of the greatest of French editors,
said to him, reproachfully: 'Vous ne quit
tez done jamais ce modne-la?' Quest
ce que celia vous fait," Aurger replied at
once. ''N'etes vous pas toujours la Re-
w edes Deux Mondes?" His slight, grace
ful talent never found Better expression
than in a little poem called La Mort
d'Hippolyte," which appeared in the Figaro
on December %, 1853, In which he speaks
of Paris as
.Cette divine capitale
Gu Pon pcut n toute heure, a tout prix,
en- tout lieu
Trouver roccasion dc chiffonner un peu
La tunique de Ia morale"
Murger was sort OF attenuated and
washed-out Heine, and his fate resem-
bled that of Hcine, though his agony was
shorter. Dying in Paris, worn out at
thirty-nine, he met death gayly And,
Just as Heinc recantcd at the last and en-
braced the creed he had scoffed al ell his
life, so Murger died with pathetic recan-
tation on his lips: Pas de musiquei Pas
de bruit! Pas de Bohemci''

ELEcTRIcrrx IN THE OIL FIELD;
Motors to Re Tried Instead Of steaA
Engines.

Electricity promises to work revo-
luton In the oil industry. Heretofore
the great drawback In developing an oil
field was the necessity of hauling boil
ers to the well sites and furnishing them
with fuel and water when they had been
located. 1t is proposed to put an electric
motor ut each well and furnish po wer from
q central electrical plant. n single circuit
being sufficient 70 take the place of the
fuel and costly water line. Heretofore
the cost OF q well In this field has averaged
about $3 800, OF which at least half was the
laying Of the water line and hauling fuel
By this plan it is thought that wells may be
put down for $4,000 each.
The value of the electric power will he
even greater in pumping fields, where
at present fuel must be hauled contin-
ualIy, and wells of small production will
not more than make up the cost OF pumping
With the application OF electricity twenty
wells may be strung on one circuit and
all furnished with power from it. 1t is the
intention to get well in operation at sis-
tersville BY the first of October.

FOR PASTURES NEW.
Alleged College Boys Flee From the
Wages OF Their Sins.

The two willy college youths who played
the confidence game to perfection in this
city during the past week, and whose es-
capades were told of by The Morning Times
exclusively, have fled. Just what place
they selected to work their clever little
swiDdling gume after leaving Washington
is unknown, but it Is believed the pair have
gone to Chicago.
While here, they played their successful
little game on the Ebbitt, Raleigh and
Arlington, where they did the college-boy
act TO perfection, leaving unpaid bills at
all three hotels.
Claiming to be Of Dartmouth College, they
told their story to many alumni OF that IA
nous institution living in this city, and
Invariably pulled them in. Travelling as
they do, under many aliases, it will be
somewhat difficult to spot the pair.

An Efficient wnter PvrtfIer.

Pcrmanganate of lime Is advocated for the
publication Of water, as it is said to split
up very readily In the presence of organic
matter into oxygen, oxide or manganese
and lime, having great oxidizing power
and capable Of destroying micro-organ-
sms. 1t has the advantage also, we hear,
OF being neither poisonous nor caustic.i A
French chemist concludes from comparative
experiments that permanganate of potash
has only a ore-hundredth part OF the stcr-
tlizing power Of permanganate of lime.
