New Kinds of Nickel-steel.

Prof r. H. Thurston, of Cornell
university, calls attention to a curl
Gus variety of nickel-steel alloys, re-
Gently invented in France, which he
thinks may have more importance
for the world than the form of
nickel-steel that has given us the
modern battleship. The new alloys
are practically nondilatable, that is,
their dimensions do not alter with
ordinary changes of temperature.
Thus, pendulum of constant length
can be made, and already the new
material is employed in making
clocks and watches to run true in
both winter and summer. For meas
uring instruments of precision, like
those employed in geodetic surveys,
these alloys are particularly suited.
The inventor, Monsieur Guillaume,
is also experimenting with nickel
steel as substitute for the carbon
filament of the ordinary incandescent
lamp.

Drunken Chicken Arrested.

The strangest prisoner ever Ia
ken TO the Seventh street police
station, Jersey City, was drunk
en- chicken, says the New YORK
Times.
The festive bird was arrested on
Friday Afternoon at Sixth anu
Henderson streets. 1t had escaped
from a crate that was being trans
ferred from the Pennsylvania
freight yard to New York. Inc
driver did not attempt to recover The
bird. and it wandered along Hender
SON street until some joker conclu-
ded to have some fun by feeding 1t
with corn soaked in whisky 1t
swallowed the grains greedily. and
when Policeman George Stratford
saw the bird there could be no
question, he said, that the fowl
was drunk. He took it to the po-
lice station, and Sergt O'Brien,
who was at the desk, formally com
mitted it to a cell to "sleep oil its
drunk. "
There was 70 porch in the cell
on which it could roost, and even II
there had been, Stratford says, the
bird was too intoxicated to occupy
an upper birth. 1t looked around
drowsily, toppled over on the floor
and went to sleep.
A question arose as to what
would he done with the bird, but
Mrs. Murphy, the janitress, settled
that difficulty by killing the chick
en- and eating it for dinner.
1t is one of the traditions of the
department that a policeman nam
ed Brady once arrested an elephant,
but the story is not true. The ele-
plant. which had escaped from a
circus. was found wandering in the
street, and Brady merely drove IT
to the police station in order that
it might be restored to its owner
