MINERALS AND METALS.
Professor skidmore's Interesting Study In
81 Metal study.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The following are some interesting
remarks made by Professor Skidmore
of this city, with regard to the distinc-
ton between minerals and metals. 1t
Is not possible, he observed, to defne
exactly what a metal is, yet there Is
little liability of mistake in distinguish
ing a metal from a non-metal. Inc
metallic properties of luster, toughness,
fusibility, opaqueness, conductivity and
rust may be possessed separately by
non-metals, but they are not associa-
ted as they are with metals. Most met
ais may be bent, twisted, drawn and
hammered to an extent far beyond
what any mineral not metal could
endure.
Professor Skidmore showed by a Sc
ries of interesting experiments that So
dunn, potassium, lithium, and, In
lesser degree, calcium, strontium. and
barium, rust instantly, when exposed
to moist air, their white rusts quickly
dissolving in water and forming aka
lies. Other experiments demonstrates
the fact that another group OF metals
in which are zinc, lead, magnesium,
and anthony, have white rusts which
are not soluble in water. These rusts
form a thin adherent coating, which
only half conceals the metal, and gives
to it dull. furnished appearance.
1t was shown that at higher temper
atures than the ordinary and especial
ly IL the metals are finely divided, the
chemical energy of rusting is so great
that the metals burn with vivid light
and emit a dense white smoke. The
permanency of these rusts and their
protective character are utilized in
white paints. Professor Skidmore then
directed attention to a third group OF
metals, which include those which have
dark or colored rusts. as with copper,
iron and silver. A series of expert
ments followed to show how these rusts
were formed and the changes which
iron undergoes in appearance in the
tempering process was carefully noted.
Attention was directed finally to the
fourth group of metals. which never
rust. These are gold and platinum,
and II was noted that they are also the
metals which are found as metals In
the earth, and not as ores from which
the metal must be manufactured. In
the case of the other metals II Is an ad-
vantage that they are found in the rus;
or ore condition, as they can be manu-
featured much easier than they could
be cut from the lodges of the pure
metal.

The Boston police were a long time

Clancy had been there before them
and had rif1ed 1t of much of its treas
ure. Meantime Chaffey had called at
the Fifty-eighth street apartment and
apprised Mrs. Barrett of her husband

- His story was that both he and Bar
rett were Englishmen and old ac-
quaintances, but he denied that ne nao

Stunned by the revelation. she sold
her furniture and her thoroughbred
horses and retired from view.
The police were asked to believe, ana
apparently did believe. that Mrs. Bar

of the sources of her husbands hand
some income, and that he had been
leading a Jekyll-Hyde existence for ~

Mrs. Barrett went straightway to

against the charge OF murder: On TINS

1894, to Imprisonment for life.

Chaffey's explanation to the police was
that Barrett had given the articles to

were stolen from. and most OF them
were identified by prominent cirzens
Of Boston and it's suburbs.
STRANGELY enough, both the police OF
Boston and Mrs. Barrett, accepted
Chaffey's explanation.
Barrett had thousands of dollars
worth of plumber stored in New YORK

access to all this, but freely turned

KING AND POPE.
The Ruler OF Portugal Finds 1t Dimcuit
10 Visit Rome.


30 Visit Rome.
Most Englishmen will be amused. IL
they are not puzzled, by the latest phase
of the prolonged and very solemn nego-
tiations between the courts of Rome and
Lisbon says the London Standard. The
king of Portugal has, for some time
past. been anxious to pay a visit to his
uncle. the king of Italy. But, as a de-
vout son of the church and as a ruler of
a people who are either Roman Catholics
or nothing, he could not go to the Quiri-
nal without also rendering his homage at
the Vatican. Here has arisen the diff
Guilty. The pope will not receive a SOW
ereign who has been entertained by one
whom he regards as the usurper of his
own temporal power. The ingenuity OF
complaisant cardinals and diplomatists
versed in the lore of aulic etiquette was
taxed to find a way out of the difficulty.
1t was announced as quite a hopeful So
luton that Dom Carlos would go to the
Quirinal in the strictest incognito, but
make a formal and public visit to the
Vatican. This was quite satisfactory to
his holiness. but unfortunately, IL did
not please King Humbert. He did not
intend to be ignored by his nephew and
guest
The next suggestion-put forward in a
tentative way-was that the king of
Portugal should follow the precedent set
by the German emperor and pay equal
and almost simultaneous honor to the
king OF Italy and the pope of Rome. but.
to avoid wounding the susceptibiiities of
the latter he was to change carriages at
the Portuguese embassy. In this way he
would be able to make a clear start, as II
were, and enter the presence of the holy
father without any faint from the house
of the AGGRESSION But a pious fiction
which could be tolerated in the case of a
hA lof nv
for an undoubted and prominent member
of the Roman church. The proposal was
bluntly negatived, and Dom Carlos has
been given to understand that he cannot
perform a courtesy to his kinsman with
out causing grievous offense to his spirit
ual chief. II he were to persist in that
intention the papal nuncio would be re-
called from Lisbon and the kingdom
would be laid under a sort of ban. This
penalty is more than his majesty can
face and the Portuguese secretary for
foreign affairs has had to announce to
the Italian charge daffaires that the pro-
jected visit must be abandoned.
That diplomatist accepts the situation
with polite regret, but has expressed a
charitably irritating hope that some day
| or other the kingdom of Portugal may
| recover its independence The taunt is
| the more cruel because IL admits of nc
| satisfactory retort except that mon
| arches of older standing and far wider
| authority submit to the same embarrass-
| ing disability as that now imposed on
the Portuguese crown The whole quar-
rel seems petty and absurd to English

Boston Corr. New York Herald. n'
William Barrett was arrested In
Weston, Mass, on May 10, 1894, charged
with the murder of James Farrar.
Barrett shot Farrar in the presence
of scores of witnesses on the railroad
track between Tower Hill and Cherry
brook station. He was a fugitive from
Justice and the victim and witnesses
were pursuing him as a burglar.
A dozen lburglaries had been commit
ted in the neighborhood of Boston, and
there was no clew until a series OF
electric bells caused Barrett to be de-,
tected escaping. He fired upon his
pursuers and Farrar fell. Thereafter
he was at once overpowered and taken
to Waltham jail. .+4
There was no evidence of burglary
against Barrett until several weeks
after his arrest, when a strange man
came to the jail, gained admittance to
Barrett's cell, and saluted the prisoner
Familiarity as 'Bill." Barrett disclaim-
ed the acquaintance until his visitors
persistence prevailed.
The visitor was James s. Chaffey,
alias Jim, the Identical person who has
been in Jail here since Monday, as an
accomplice in Barrebt's crimes. q
1t is known, among other things, that
Barrett has, in a criminal record ex-
tending over 10 years. stolen something
like $4,000 worth of money, stocks,
bonds, silverware, brfc-a-brac and mis-
cellaneous valuables.
During the greater part of this time
he has supported in apparent respecta-
bility and the highest luxury Mrs. Will
liam Elizabeth Barrett.
This is at once the most pathetic and
the most puzzling part OF his career.
While Barrett was in MASSACHUSETTS,
pursuing the hazardous vocation OF q
burglar, Mrs. Barrett was living in lux
ury at No. 1853 West 5sth street. New
York. Is IA
Her apartment was one of the most
luxurious in the city. She and her SON

OF thoroughbred saddle-horses she. II

and every day the envious neighbors
noted the perfection Of her riding

She always spoke OF her husband as a
