How Cold Metals Sometimes Nix.

Professor Roberts Austen's discov-
cries on the subject Of the interdiffusi-
bility Of metals is most interesting
reading. The facts have been to some
extent known to savants before the
meeting of the Royal society, at which
more public attention was drawn, but
ON that occasion the results were made
more clear. It was then shown that
solid metals may be made to mix them
selves as if the atoms were living crea-
lures.
Professor Roberts Austen has, in fact.
discovered pieces of metal engaged in
the very act OF mixing themselves up
one with the other. OF course the inter-
est Of this IL that the interdiffusion of
which we speak has been found to take
place when the metals were cold, and,
though this property in metals. to be
capable Of attaching themselves one TO
the other when cold, has been talked
about before, nothing so clearly proved
has hitherto been at the service Of
metallurgists and chemists as the facts
addnced by Professor Roberts, Austen.
He shows that when clean surfaoea of

Lord Palmerston.

A minister who kept race horses
and had at his command good store of
very blunt vernacular, who could not
be got to admit that he understood an
abstract thought. who always knew
what he wanted and was determined to
carry it out regardless of the opinions
of others. who conceived his own ideas
to be superior to those of other people,
who never looked farther than tomorrow
and much preferred not to think beyond
this evening, but who at the same time
was determined to establish the privi
lege of an Englishman to the sidewalk
all over the world, while men Of other
nations might step into the gutter
this minister represented aspirations
which had long ago sickened under the
rounded periods intended tot convince
humanity that bread and calico summed
up their total requirements4 and were
more sufficient for rational happiness.
This was the popular conception Of
Palmerston when, in 1865, he became
first minister of the crown. --s' Yoke Of

THE FUNCTION OF ETHER.
Without 1t There Would Be No Light
Radiant Heat or Nagnetispi

Without 1t There Would Be No Light,
Radiant Heat or Magnetism.
Whatever difficulties we may have
in forming consistent idea of the con-
stitution Of the ether there can be no
doubt that the interplanetary and inter-
stellar spaces are not empty, but are oc-
cupied by material substance or body
which is certainly the largest and prob
ably the most uniform body of which
we have any knowledge"
Such was the verdict pronounced
some 20 years ago by James Clerk
Maxwell, one Of the very greatest of
nineteenth century physicists, regard
ing the existence of an all pervading
plenuln in the universe in which every
particle of tangible matter is immersed.
And this verdict may be said to express
the attitude of the entire philosophical
world of our day. Without exception
the authoritative physicists of our time
accept this plenum as verify and rea-
son about it with something of the same
confidence they manifest in speaking of
"ponderable" matter or Of energy. 1t is
true there are those among them who
are disposed to deny that this all per-
vading plenum merits the name of mat,
ter, but that it is something, and
vastly important something at that, all
are agreed. Without it, they allege, we
should know nothing of light, of radiant
heat, of electricity or magnetism. With
out it there would probably be no such
thing as gravitatiol-nay, they even
hint that without this strange some
thing, ether, there would be no such
thing as matter in the universe. If these
contentious of the modern physicist are
justified, then this intangible ether is
incomparably the most important as
well as the Largest and most uniform
substance OF body in the universe. Its
discovery may well be looked upon as
the most important feat Of our century.

A Good Story of sheridan.

Sheridan once had occasion to call at
a hairdresser's to order wig. On be-

liberal soul, invited the orator to take
some Refreshments in an inner room.
Here he RECALLED him with bottle Of
port and showed SO much Lts: .tality
that Sberidan's heart was touch, L.
When they rose from the table and
were about separating, the lat-, look
ing the barber full in the i.e.. said,
"On rejecting. / don't intena ....5 you
shall make my wig"
Astonished and with blank visage,
the other exclaimed: Good heavens,
Mr.. Sheridani How can I have dis
pleased you?''
why, look you, said Sheridan,
''you are an honest fellow, and, re-
peat it, you shan't make my wig, for I
never intended to pay for it. TIL go to

LONDON'S PAST PLEASURES,

How Its Inhabitants Amused Themselves
a Century or Two Ago.
The Londoner in the long past might
retire to Bagnigge Wells, near the pres
emit Kings Gross, or Florida gardens,
Brompton (Brompton was noted 100
years ago for its "salubrious air"), or
the Marylebone gardens and Bowling
Green, mentioned by Pepys as "a pretty
place" SO longs ago as 1868, or the
Bayswater Tea gardens, which -four
ished till after the middle of the pres
ent century, there to sit in summer
house overgrown with honeysuckie and
sweetbrier, drinking tea, then held in
much esteem as fashionable beverage,
and eating cheese cakes, heart
cakes, !" Chelsea buns, Syllabus, jellies,
creams, hot loaves, rolls and butter,
while band performed concerto by
Corelli or the last new composition by
Mr.. Handel, "The Master of Musick, !"
or singer gave the last new song by
DR.. Arne. Afterward his visitors might
enjoy the privilege of drinking new
milk from the cow and picking flowers
and fruit, sfresh every hour in the
day, a great attraction, doubtless, for
Londoners at a period when fruit and
flowers were neither so cheap nor SO
abundant in the metropolis as they are
at present. Nor were more artificial
amusements lacking. In addition to
illuminations, fireworks and masquer-
AIDES, attended by the world of fashion
from princes downward, there were
miscellaneous entertainments of every
sort. So.
A high scaffolding was erected in
Marylebone gardens in 1886 for pred
ecessor of Blondin called sthe flying
man." whowas advertised to fly down
on rope pushing awheelbarrow before
him. In May, 1885, Lunardi, the first
aeronaut who went up in balloon in
England and was quantity called "the
first aerial traveller in English atmos-
phere'' by contemporary prints, de-
scended unexpectedly one afternoon in
the Adam and Eve Tea gardens in the
neighborhood of Tottenham Court road,
then resort of fashion, and was up
roariously welcomed by the populace
in acknowledgment of his fight. Later
on aeronautic flights became special
feature of all these pleasure gardens.
Ponds containing goldfish-a novelty
in the middle of the eighteenth century
were reckoned as another of their
special attractions and were advertised
as "gold and silver fish, which afford
pleasing ideas to every spectator. -

GEM SCULPTURE.
Something A4,out the Making of Canoes
end Intaglios.

Gem sculpture, or lithoglyptics, is
an art of great antiquity, having been
practiced by the Babylonians, the Egyp-
tians, the Hebrews and the Greeks.
Afterward it sank into decadence, but
in the fifteenth century was revived in
Italy. 1t is an art that calls for great
elegance Of taste and much skill, for ON
a small stone, generally precious, de-
signs are represented either in raised
work, as canoes, or by being cut below
the surface, as intaglios
To canoes the term minute sculp-
ture" is indeed applicable, for since
the days of Greek art celebrated statues
have been copied in this way. The first
intaglios were the scarabs, Or beetle
shaped signets, worn III rings by the
Egyptians from very remote period.
One side of the stone was shaped like q
beetle, the other side was fat, and the
name of the king or wearer was cut in
to it. A hole was then drilled in the
stone from end to end, and through it q
strong wire was passed TO hold it in
position in ring. The fat or seal side
was always worn next to the finger, but
when used as a seal it was turned.
In the art of gem sculpture the
Greeks excelled all predecessors. The
Etruscans, contemporary with the
Greeks, also attained excellence in gem
cutting, and tits said that ION these
early gems of sEtruscan or Greek origin
may be read as in a book the forms Of
their religion and the subjects of popu-
lar interest in politics, song and fable
for centuries -
Under Augustus gem sculpture -four
ished among the Romans, many of them
possessing canoes and intaglios of great
value, and cabinets of costly gems be-
game numerous 1t is said that Caesar
! sent six cabinets of rare gems to the
temple Of Venus.
There are many fine canoes and in
taglios in the British museum. Among
! the finest of them accessible to the pub
Tic are the Cupid and Goose" intaglio,
the ''Dying Amazon" the Laughing
Fawn, sBacchus" on red jasper, and
the Julius Caesar" of Dioscurides, In
modern times gem sculpture has reached
high state of perfection and beauty.

How Amy Bright Scholar May Learn to
Tell It Ofhand.

How Amy Bright Scholar May Learn to
Tell It Offhand.
To find the cube root of any given
number of figures offhand seems an al
most impossible feat, but yet it is sim
pie enough when one knows how to do
it-so simple, indeed, that any bright
boy can learn to do it in few weeks.
First he must know exactly what a
cube is-namely, that it is the result
of multiplying one number by itself
and then multiplying the product by the
original number. Thus, 8 multiplied
by equals 8, and 8 multiplied by B.,
the original number, produces az, which
consequently is the cube of 8. The cube
root of % is the original number, 8,
and to find the cube root is the reverse
of finding the cube The would be adept
at this art should first study carefully
the following figures:
1x4xs-ss sxsxs-1as sxsxG2 e
7<7><7=a43 s><sxS=5ls s<sxsH729
A close study of these figures shows
that multiplied in this manner by it.
self results in s, that multiplied by
itself has as final figure, that 8 null
tiplied by itself has as final figure,
that multiplied by itself has as a
final figure, and that 4, 3, 6 and 8 null
tiplied by themselves have their origi-
nal figures as finals. Hence the "artist"
knows that any sum given to him the
final figure of which is s must have
as cube root; that if the final figure
be 8, the cube root must be 8, and so
on.
For example, give him the figures
74,088, and he can at once tell that 10
is the cube root, for the reason that "a
has as cube root, as the cube Of 4 is
"a, while the cube of 3 is 1876, much
more than "a, and O88 has Q as cube
root
Or give him more difficult problem,
as, for example, the figures 24.369.
Then he will see at glance that 324 is
more than 216, which is the cube Of 6,
but is less than 843, the cube Of Z.
Therefore the cube root of these three
figures is 6. In like manner the final
figure Of 369 being 8, it follows that the
cube root of these three figures is 9, and
thus the cube root Of the six figures has
been shown to be SO.
Any one can test this method for
himself, and little practice is all that
is needed to make one as deft in such
jugglery of figures as the best eight
ming calculator. :"
OF course skilled arithmetician
could easily frame problems that could
not be solved in this offhand fashion,
but such difficult tests are seldom offered
by public audiences, and, as rule, the
artists are easily able to answer all
the questions asked of them. New

came out of the barn, attached to q

excited and finally scared the horses
until they broke into run. In front

Clean shirts In Germany.

The Berlin Boersen- Courier tells
about Germans invention Of paper
shirt front which is intended to ap-
peal to the large number of continental
Germans who wear dickies. The shirt
front has paper collar polish and is in
seven layers. AS each layer is torn off
it reveals another white, glistening
front. Thus from one paper dicky the
wearer may evolve clean paper shirt
front for every day in the week. TIE
dicky is made to button to any kind Of
shirt. It costs but 80 pfennig. or about
2 cents; consequently the expense Of .
clean front ID but cent day. In view
Of the prevalence Of the dicky habit in
Germany the inventor has taken steps
to manufacture his compound shirt
fronts in large quantities.
