The subject OF microscopic fractures in steel en.

Shcnleld Society of Engineers and Metallurgists.

shown that an ordinary railway axle is composed
Of about 2.313, IFS. 800 primary crystals, the latter

OF secondary crystals. This paper pointed out thas
many fractures in steel are due to the presence of
innumrrablo internal micro. naws In the metal
caused by the presence of very minute quantities
of sulphur and o,her impurities. Sulphur was de-
cared To be the most dangerous element in produo-
ing these micro.naws. owing to the formation,
during the soiid,ncation of large masses of steel.

found on earth, KircLhor has earned the renown
OF having demonstrated that q large number OF ter.
restrial elements exist In the sun, among which are
such well known substances as hydrogen. iron,
nickel. zinc, copper. lead, and a~luninum-the ex.
traordinary fact appearing. however, remarks q
writer In Chambers Journal. that oxygen, which
Is 80 lavishly prevalent on earth, seems to have
deserted the sun altogether, none being observable
In that luninary. Concerning this interesting
point. It is asserted that for an element TO attest
its presence in the spectroscope, It must not only
be present In considerable relative quantity and in
the gaseous form. but must occupy a position in
the suns atmosphere where its spectrum may be
made manifest by the light from the body OF tho
sun shining through It.; thus It is probable that all
terrestrial elements exist in the sun, but are not In
q condition TO make themselves evident.
Curiously enough, the United states Government

to listen. A year ago it was favorite
expression with such newspapers as the
| Chicago Tribune, the Pioneer Press and
all the long array of goldbug papers in
the east, to ask if silver men wanted to
put the country in the condition of
Mexico, on a level with Mexico. OF
course the intention was to carry the
idea that the wretcEedness of Mexico
was due to the silver standard, notwith-
lstanding the differences in races, not
withdrawing the fact that gold and sill
yer were used in com mon in Mexico up
to very short time ago, and notwith-
standing the other most important fact,
that Mexico has never been so prosper
GUS as since silver Decentralization by
the United States. The truth is that
Mexico is having genuine boom. Her
exports of coffee, sugar, gntta- percha,
tobacco, indigo and ether products have
been immense during the past wear,
and her cotton, WOODEN and paper mills,
her glassware, porcelain and earthen-
ware establishments have been running
their full capacity most proftaby to
the owners and to the people. And the
spectacle is presented to our nation,
claiming TO be the brightest in tie
world, working for nothing and unable
TO meet the current expenses of the
government, while across the line a
mongrel nation, nine-tenths of the peo-
pie of which are but miserable, char
acterless half-breeds, is TO-DAY the most
prosperous nation in the world. This
contrast is so marked that is has already
begun to have is effect. Every man
that goes 10 Mexico and returns brings
the same story, and no man on earth |
can explain the situation on any ground |
than that the country is on silver
basis, where the money is not valuable
as propertyi the other is on gold basis,
