MIXED METALS.
Some of the Curious Results Shown In
Various Alloys.

Some of the Curious Results Shown In
Various Alloys.
In the beginning of mans acquaint-
nee With metals only the softer ones,
such as copper. gold. silver and tin,
were mined and worked up into uten-
SllS. weapons, etc. 1t was early dis
covered that an alloy of copper and tin
Produced Il reasonably hard metal call
I'd bronze, which was suitable for cut
ing Instruments and. although not as
hard as flint, was easier to work and
lid not break. Then began the bronze
age of history.
An alloy is Il compound Of two or
more metals. Alloys generally possess
properties vastly different from the
parent metals. For instance, gold is
the most ductile Of all metals. 1t may
be drawn into the finest wire or beaten
into Il transparent film finer than the
thinnest tissue, and yet mix the small
est quantity Of antimony with gold and
it is not ductile at all. Copper and tin
mixed together produce an alloy with
4 higher specific gravity than either of
hlo Noiot1lAClllS, IN lIc Sdluc "cl!suL
will occupy less bulk. Copper and an
timony produce a beautiful violet blue
alloy.
By mixing together eight parts by
weight of bismuth. five parts Of lead
and three parts of grain tin an alloy is
produced which will melt at so low a
temperature that a spoon made Of it
will melt when it is immersed in hot
tea, and yet the melting point Of each
Of its ~components is at least twice that
of boiling water.
y small quantity of manganese
makes iron almost Indifferent to mag
netism, while Il bit Of tungsten will in
crease its magnetic powers. Copper is
Il good conductor of electricity, but if
Il little arsenic be mixed with it it be-
comes almost Il nonconductor. \ little
tungsten makes steel Very much hard
er. Lead and a%ntinlony are used for
making type metal because the alloy
has the peculiar property of expanding
as it coOlS.-EeW York World.

PLANNED TO LAssO A SHIP
An Old Time Mexican Scheme to Out
wit the Americans,

y leatlet from Don lannon's folk
lore may interest you. When war had
been declared against Mexico and the
arrival of the American hosts was daily
expected in southern California. st.
Agnes was in Il tremor. OF course.
not of fear, but of excitement.
One day the news came that Il United
States vessel of var was approaching
the harbor. \ council of the ancients
of the city was Immediately convened
and many plans of offensive and de-
fensive action were proposed and dis
cussed. and finally the following one,
designed by Il Frenchman, whose
brother had commanded Il crack rcgi-
mcnt under the great Napoleon. was
adopted:
He was to take his spyglass and the
only available artillery that st. Agnes
a~fforded-a small brass cannon which
had been used alternately With anyils
to fire saluteS during religious and civic
professions Il am unable to say how
many of Il FOUNDER it was)-to the top
of the mountain, Il distance Of twelve
miles IN Il bee llne from the ocean
beach. In the meanwhile all the eX-
pert vaqueros. the momen the vessel
was sighted. We're to conceal them
selves and horses along the beach.
When the ship had anchored and the
proper moment. in the judgment of the
French commander. had arrived. be
was to fire the annon from the top Of
the mountain. at which signal the
vaqueroS were to rush through the
surf and lasso the masts OF the ship,
capsiZe it into the breakers and har-
pooh the soldiers and crew as they
e~ndeavored to escape to shore. This
brilliant coup d'etat was not carried
out. only because the ship never came.
