New Method Of hardening Metals.

Ne'g Method Of Hardening Metals.
A new patented process Of harden.
Ing iron and soft steel has been IN.
troduced In Dusseldorf Germany. The
carbon requisite for the tempering Is
obtained BY means OF carbide and GER
tain duxes. For instance, a mixture
Of silicium carbide and sodium sui
phate Is applied TO cold iron or steel
and the. heated to redness with II, or
tho rcd hot metals Is covered with the
mixture The reaction Is SO rapid
that even thin objects can be harden
ed on one side. Within a short time
a plate two or three milllmoters thick
becomes hard enough on one side
to resist the best tempered tseel tool.
while the other remains wholly soft
Interesting experiments were made
with armor plates. A plate Of seventy
kilos strength was smearod six milli-
meters thick with tho mixture, then q
second plate placed upon the latter
and the sandwich maintained at red
heat for a couple OF hours, after which
it was cooled In oil. AZ distance OF
twenty meters the hardened sides OF
these plates received dozen bullets
from a German rife, model 'eS, With

LAWSON AVERTS
GOING TO JAIL
Millionaire Boston Yachts
man Had Close Call.
COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT
Appeals to Massachusetts, Supreme
Court, and Escapes Justice
of Peace.

BOSTON. Jan. 15.-It has just been
made public that Thomas w. Lawson

a justice of the peace for alleged con
tempt. and that an appeal to the su-
preme court of Massachusetts, for a
writ Of prohibition to restrain the com
mitting authority. brought before the
sentence was put into effect. perhaps
alone prevented the incarceration of the
millionaire broker and sportsman.
The trouble originated during the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Lawson in an action
brought by Torrey r. Wardner against
Albert c Burrage to recover 500 600 for
alleged services. Mr.. Lawson was sum-
moned before Justice Of the Peace Row
ley to have his deposition taken for use
at the trial Of that case, it being said
Mr.. Lawson was apt to leave the State
Mr. Lawson refused to conform to the
ruling of the justice, who adjudged him
guilty Of contempt. and ordered him
committed to jail, there to remain until
he would answer. Then Mr.. Lawson be-
sought the supreme court for writ TO
restrain the justice of the peace be-
fore the sentence was put into effect
The supreme court heard the case yes
terday and reserved decision.
