Crystallization and Hardness.

When we speak of metal being In
a crystalline state we almost invari-
ably associate that state with the
idea of hardness. Even practical met
allurgists entertain this notion, al
though, as Mr.. G. 7. Beilby says in a
recent paper read before the Royal So
ciety of London in the pure duciile me-
tails the crystalline state is actually
the soft state" A large part of this
softness is ascribed 10 the instability
of the crystalline structure. When
metal is drawn into wire It's ten

But investigation shows that me
tails which have been thus treated
show a micro-structure in which defor
med and broken-down crystals are i'm
bedded in a noncrystalline mass. In
the process of hardening metal its
crystalline structure is broken down.

A chinese love le.ter is Of .ype

with It's somewhat hieroglyphic charac

very apparent 10 any one who has

fond of all formalities, is not above

a Philadelphia Chinese merchant IS IL

Ships of Concrete.

Among those who have tried re-en-
forced concrete as a material for
boats is a firm of Rome. Italy, whose
experiments have extended back more
than ten years. They have built a
number of vessels having a displace-
ment of 100 10 $50 tons. The
frames have been of re-en-
forced concrete, and these have
been covered ON the outside wi,
concrete re-enforced with wire netting
and on the inside with a similar lay
er thus forming a double hull inclos-
ing water-tight compartments. A final
coating OF pure cement gives the OUT
side a highly finished appearance
Such vessels are claimed TO have the
advantages of rapidly and cheapness
in building low cost of maintenance,
great resistance TO waves and shock,
and of being-unlike wooden vessels
quite fireproof.

A ROMANCE IN TIN.
One Mans Fortune From the Price Of
Pair Of Shoes.

Some years ago a man who had
started in business in Tasmania found
that be could not meet his engage
ments and was compelled to call q
meeting of his creditors.
Among his assets were a number OF
Mount Birschoff tin mine shares,
which were regarded as worthless. 1t
was the first tin mine discovered In
Tasmania. and the output was not as
heavy as the prospectus declared It
would be.
The shares dropped in value. and
when the debtor offered them to his
creditors the latter refused to touch
them.
Among the creditors was a poor
shoemaker who had supplied the man
with a pair of shoes. He offered to
take the shares in payment of his
debt. No one raised any objection
and he took the shares, saying, They
may turn out well some day"
Five years later, under proper man.
agement, the mine developed into a
valuable property. 1t was a veritable
mountain of tin, and the shares sprang
up TO an astonishing point.
Eventually the metal was "cornered"
by French syndicate. and. the shares
reaching a fabulous price. the once
INDECENT shoemaker sold out and real
lied a fortune.
The money was wisely invested. and
now he is in the enjoyment OF an in.

rived from the payment for a pair Of
shoes valued at S3.-London Telegraph.

Those. who were there to witness 1t

Property Rights.

Private property, in the shape in
which we know it today. was chiefly
formed by the gradual acknowledgement
of the separate rights Of individuals
from the blended rights of communi-
ty. There is every reason for believ-
ing that property once belonged not to
individuals or even the isolated fam
flies. but to the patriarcha society as
a whole. In other words. property
was at first communistic rather than
