Art Of Temperins Copper.

During the last week some interest
ing experiments were made by d. La-
mon. who recently re-discovered the
lost art Of tempering copper. These
experiments show that copper has a
strength at least five or six times
that of steel Another curious fea-
ture about the process is that copper.
instead Of bursting. as does steel.
when put to the test OF an enormous
pressure, will simply draw apart. This
quality, those acquainted with the
metal say, will make 1t of extraordi-
nary value for use in steam boilers
and other similar machinery, since 1t
will minimize the danger of explo-
sions. Arrangements are also being
made to show some of the tempered
copper at the st. Louis exposition. 1t
is proposed to manufacture from the
metal small boilers. guns and other ar
ticles. to show the uses to which it
may be put.
Negotiations are also pending for
the purchase of site upon which 1t
is proposed to at once erect an ex-
perimenting station. According to
plans the proposed station will be in
operation before the middle of the
summer.-Denver News.
