Invariably when Greenleaf seemed TO be
on the high road toward forging into q

HEAVIEST OF ALL METALS.

Anybody who has been allowed to
handle a gold brick, perhaps on the
occasion of a visit to the mint, must
have been astonished to find how heavy
it was Gold is, in fact, twice as heavy
as lead. Yet it is not the heaviest of
metals. That rank is held by osmium,
which is one-sixth hea vier than gold.
At the other end of the scale of
weights we have hthium, which is so
light that it will float on water. 1t is
queer stuff. Put a small chunk of it
on your desk and you will soon OBJ
serve that it is growing smaller. Be-
fore long it viii disappear entirely,

Magnesium is nearly three times as
heavy as hthium; yet it is consider
ably lighter than aluminium, which
we are accustomed TO regard as SO
remarkable for its hghtness of weight.
