Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, July 22.-Prof. Alfred
NJ. Mayer, of the Stevens Institute OF
Technology, has proved the startling
fact that metal floats on the surface
of the water. There has been for years
a theory to this effect, but never be-
fore has it been shown beyond caVil.
Now, however, it has been proved that
there is a film of air on the surface
of the water sufficiently strong to hold
upon its surface a piece of metal of
considerable weight.
The conclusions reached by Prof.
Mayer were the result of continuous eX-
pertinent, covering a series Of years,
and are all susceptible of proof that,
Prof Mayer says, will convince any
one He has written for this paper
signed statement relating his views In
the matter which will prove of exceed
ing interest, even to the lay world. 1t
is as follows:
1T. occurred to me that if a ring of
metal with a chemically clean surface
could be foated and then gradually
weighted until it broke through the
surface OF the liquid, one might thus
measure surface tension. My expert
ments proved that not only was this

a ring of one Of these metals which
has been heated to rednesS and which
has not been wetted will float after
having been exposed to the air for about
half an hour.
Wires Of platinum, gold, and of sill

wires of aluminium, copper, brass and
German silver of l milllmeter In dia-
meter fioated when gently placed on
the surface of water by means OF a
fork made of fine wire. These wires
were five centimeterS long. All or these
wires sank after having been passed
slowly to and fro six times in the lower
part of spirit flame, and recovered
their property of fioatation after they
had remained from two to five minutes
in the air.
"Glass rods of u millimeter diameter
and centimeters long behaved in SINH
lar manner to the wires. If rod Of
glass recently drawn out in spirit
flame and just cold, is placed on water
it sinks. After a freshly-made glass
rod has remained exposed to the air
for about fifteen minutes 1T will float.
If recently made glass rod, which
has just sunk in water be Withdrawn,
wiped dry, and exposed to the air for
from ten to fifteen minutes, 1t Will
float. These floating glass rods, how
ever, do not, as in the case of the wires,
give straight lines Of demarkation, be-
tween the surfaces of the glass and the
water. At some places the water vets
and covers the glass, at others it does
not wet the glass, and the lines of de-
markation of the glass and water are
jagged This rod, placed vertically in
the water, shows an ascending mems

many. l have not given any study to
the causes of the contamination of a
surface of water exposed in the open
air, because the results with the ring,
though curious, are of little value I'M
less connected with other observations
on the conditions of the atmosphere. 1t
may be that a floating platinum ring
may be of use in determining the rela-
tive amounts of dirt or dust in the air
on different days; but to be used for
this purpose one must first accurately
find out how much of the contamination
is due to the substance of the vessel
by experiments made on water in the
trough of Miss Pockels inclosed in an
alright vessel.
Several pleasing experiments may
be made with the platinum ring floated
on water in the trough devised by Miss
Pockels. This ingenious and simple in
vention consists of a trough Of timed
iron 20 centfmeters long, centimeters
wide and centimeters deep, filled to
its brim with water. A strip of metal
longer than the width of the trough is
placed athwart the latter with the
plane of the strip in a vertical posi-
ton. The lower edge of the strip touch
es the surface of the water. By slid
inS the strip from the extreme end of
the trough the contaminated surface
of the water is made smaller and more

too short and the length Of the four
transition curves ought, according to
calculation, to absorb nearly the whole
length Of the line.
The appearance of the interior of the
car is somewhat peculiar. The COM
partmentS in each car are three in
number. The seats are along the sides
instead of crosswise. They are not
chairs, nor are they in the form Of
huge benches, nor like those in the first
and second-class carriages in ordinary
use on European lines. On the con-
trary, it is as if two long seats, heav-
lily cushioned, had been placed length
wise OF the compartment, one on each
side. Then, at distances of about three
feet, upholstered sections of wood have
been placed about two-thirds the width
of the seat, or a little deeper than the
shoulders of large man. These side
pieces run from the cushion at the
bottom to the top of the. back and
therefore a person sitting in one Of the
seat sections finds himself very
thoroughly separated from his neigh
Dor. 1t is by far the most curious ar
rangement that exists in a railroad
car of modern days, and the exact
reason for it's peculiar construction is
found in the statement of the inventor
that the seats have been planned so
that the passengers would feel the mo-
ton of the car in very slight degree.
The one peculiar feature of the train
on this new railroad is that it's mo-
ton is decidedly different from that
of the ordinary railway coach on a
double rail track. The effect on peo-
pie is something akin to seasickness,
and very few persons escape being an

The supreme tent, knights of the

the question of raising the assessment
rates of old members so per cent, to
the standard by which new members
are assessed. today adopted a COM
promise. 1t provides for two extra as
sessments each year upon all mem
bers admitted prior to July 1, 1895, al
lowing such members, however, privi-
lege of surrendering their member
ship certificates and obtaining another
upon which the assessments will be
the same as those upon members who
have joined since 1895.
