STRANGE Power Of Metals.

The Importance of the remarkable
surface actions that distinguish metals
generally was noted in a lecture BY
Sir william Tilden at the British scien'
tifc products exhibition. The property
of platinum Of causing the combina-
ton Of oxygen gas with hydrogen and
other combuStible substances was dis
covered by Davy just 100 years ago.
but other metals show still stranger
powers. One of the most valuable Is
the power possessed by nickel Of caus'
Ing hydrogen to combine with heated
oil, converting 1t into n fat that Is
solid when cold. A substance acting
BY its mere presence in this way Is
termed a cntalyst, and catalytic actions
are now turned to account on a large
scale in making sulphuric and nitric
acids and ammonia. In the surface conf
bustion of gas, In obtaining fats from
whale oil and In a variety of manu-
featuring processes. A great field Is
open In the study Of catalytic effects.
