LEARN FACTS ABOUT STEEL
Interesting Discoveries Conserving
Most usefu, Mstal. That Have Re-
cenS,y Been Mace.

Very fascinating are the unsolved
problems Of metallursv which were
discussed at a recent meeting of an
institution Of civil engineers.
There is common carbon steel
which, when heated to !25 degrees
centigrade and Quenched in brine
bends on becoming ccld, 43 degrees,
and possesses the hardness number
22S on the Brincell scale. If heated
only ten degrees higher, to 7335 degrees,
and then Guenched and cooled. it
bends only IL degrees and its hard
ness becomes 512. Finally, when the
heat is Increased another ; degrees,
tG 80 degrees, the effect is that the
steel will not bend at al and its hard
ness number rises 30 713.
All these results are produced By
range of temperature less than that
experienced by the air on an ordinary
springsday. There is a steel contain
ing 20 per cent of nickel which is al
most non-magnetic and has a tenacity
OF 10 tons per square inch. If i'm
mersed in liquid air it becomes strong
ly magnetic and its tenacity rises to
115 tons. Then, after returning to or
dinary temperature, it retains te-
nacity of 115 tons.

Use Of Rays by Flowers.

Do flowers use rays not visible to
the human eye to attract insects to
them? Certain insects can spot ultra
violet light that cannot be seen by
man, and some blossoms, in addition to
their ordinary brilliant hues, vary in
the kind of short light rays that they
emit.
Prof. F. K. Richtmyer of Cornell
university told the Optical Society of
America, meeting at the bureau OF
standards IN Washington recently, that
these Invisible rays may guide pollen
bearing insects to the flowers in Their
search for honey. Giving signals in
rays shorter than the deepest violet
that we can see brings the flowers the
pollen that is necessary TO it in pro
ducing seed. Experiments made by
Professor Richtmyer on Colorado flow
ers show that flowers apparently diff: er
in their reflection Of ultraviolet as
much as in their visible colors.
