ON The Colliery Guardian.

From The tOlliery GUARDIAN.
Professor Roberts-Austeas discoveries on the
subject OF the nter-dnusibility OF metals were
ferred TO last week by the president Of the Royal
Society and the report Is most interesting reading.
The facts have been 10 some extent known 10
savants before the late meeting OF the Royal So
clety. at which more public attention was drawn.
but that occasion the results were made moro
clear II was then shown that solid metals may
be made mix themselves II the atoms were
living creatures.
Professor RoDertsAusten has In fact. discovered
pieces OF metal engaged In the very act OF mixing
themselves up one with the other. or course. the
interest OF this Is that the inter-dusion OF which
we speak has been found to take place when the
metals cold and though this property In
me ais to be capable OF attaching themselves
to the other when cold, has been talked about be.
fore nothing clearly proved has hitherto been
at the services OF metailurgists and chemists .
the facts adduced by Professor Roberts-Aust
He shows that when clean surfaces Of lead and
gold are held together In the absence OF air, at Q
temperature OF 10 degrees for four days. they
unite firmly. and only be separated by force
equal one-third Of the breaking strain Of tho
lead. The professor has also proved that II a plate
gold be laid under ope of lead about
OF an inch thick in three days gold will have risen
and diHuscd Itself TO the top Of the other metal u
very appreciabe quantity.

OF the prominent Germans in the city. Lohmanhs
friends have gone into the matter with deter

is possible
Ii has been learned that since Lohmanns con-
fnemcnt in prison he has become religious and
leads the choir in the Sing Sing chapel 1t Is said
by those who have visited the prison that Lob
mann has a powerful and sweet voice and That
his singing plainly heard above the other voices
1t will be remembered that Lohmann's defalcaton
WAS not discovered until he gave himself up 10 tho

the strike was she'd Henry Stewart,
one of the sherif7s deputies, struck
Jacob Mott, drummer oithe McDon-

horn and cut a severe cash above
his eye The sight of blood wrought
up the 1000 miners to such a pitch
shat desperate conflict was immi-
nent. The deputies also were excited
aud noisy.
The strikers were jeefipg and yell
ing, and urging further rush down
the road In the crowd there were
enough angry miners to annihilate
four times the force of officers on the
ground Capt Bellipgham, Sheriff
Lowry. Chief Deputy James Richards
aud Supt DeArmit were the only
cool men in the assemblage To them
belong the credit for avoiding riot
There was danger of Bellingham's s
men getting beyond his control, and
he commanded halt and addressed
himself to the task of restraining the
more beIligerent. So we'll were bis
efforts directed that he soon had re-
stored comparative order.
Sheriff Lowry had difficult task
to perform, but he handled it well.
and by his GOODNESS and good nature
did much to neutralize the bitterness
and strife invited by the behaviour OF
his subordinates The strikers final

camp There were several other
