adopted by the Baptists:
Whereas. As religious freedom Is a rrin-

Cobalt and Nickel In Aerolites.

OF all the metals hitherto discov-
cred there is none more interest
ing from certain points of view than
nickel and cobalt There is a seien-
tifc mystery surrounding them that
has never been solved and is not
likely to be explained for many
years to come. Although they pos
sess very distinct properties, and
form salts of very different colors,
they have exactly the same combin-
ing number $3.50, and this number
approaches that of iron (28), the
commonest metal, with the excep-
ton perhaps of aluminium, that
exists in the crust of the earth.
They are also, like iron, attracted
by the magnet.
Moreover, they are invariably
present in those masses of metal
called meteoric iron, or aerolites.
which occasionally fall from the
skies upon the surface of our earth.
The fall of these aerolites generally
occurs in broad daylight, when the
sky is clear and the sun shining
brightly. A stream of cloud, or
metallic vapor, appears in the air,
and a noise like the loudest thunder
is heard after the whizzing of the
aerolite, constituting one of the
most terrifying phenomena it is pos
sible to behold. Chambers Jour
nal.
