Some Strange Metals.

Some of the metals which are familiar enough to the chemist, though rarely seen outside his laboratory, have so little in oemmon with the metals of every-day life as to scarcely seem to belong to the same class of substances. We commonly think of a metal as being heavy, yet sodium and potassium will float on water and lithium is the lightest of all known soKds. The fact is that the word “metal’* is one of the hardest in the language to define. The metals an have a peculiar luster, to be Bure, which, from its association, has come to be called metallic; but many minerals, as galena and black-lead, which most certainly are not metals, have the same appearance, and so on through the list of properties. The ehemical relations of the metals give good reasons for placing these substances by themselves, though even here the lines are not clearly marked. One of the most distinctive properties of the metals is their power to form, when combined with acids, a class of bodies called salts—on account of their resemblance to common salt, which contains about 40 per cent, of the metal sodium. This metal is a bluish white, waxy solid, and has such a great tendency to rust, or unite with the oxygen in the air, that it must be kept in some oil, like petroleum, which contains no oxygen. if a bit of sodium be thrown upon a piece of ice, the metal takes fire, and any attempts to put it out by pouring water on it would only be adding fuel to the flame. The sodium-match is an application of this peculiar property of the metal. It is merely a bit of wood tipped with sodium, and whicfy can, of course, be lighted on the stormiest day by the mere contact of a rain-drop. The matches are, however, decidedly dangerous, and their manufacture is generally prohibited. which is obtained from potash, is another metal very similar to sodium, and will take fire upon ice or water even more readily than this lastnamed metal. A small piece of potassium thrown into a jug of water apparently takes fire at once, and swims about with great rapidity, burning all the time with a brilliant violet flame. One may be forgiven if his ideas on combustion are somewhat upset by the first sight of this phenomenon, but there is really nothing very strange about it. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, and these «metals, sodium and potassium, have so strong an attraction for oxygen that they will take it wherever they can find it, even from water. This, of course, sets the oxygen free, which is sef on fire by the heat given off when the potassium and oxygen unite, and burns with a violet color because of the vapor of the metal. The same is true in the case of sodium; the flame is due to the burning hydrogen rather than the metal. Sodium, potassium, and lithium, with several other metals, form a group known as the alkali metals. There is another group, to which iron belongs, which contains an interesting member called aluminum—sometimes aluminium—from its occurrence in common alum. Aluminum is a beautiful metal, much like silver in appearance, and possessing many valuable properties. It is very sonorous, easily worked, does not tarnish in the air, and is only about one-fourth as heavy as silver. It conducts electricity eight times better than iron. Added to this, it occurs in greater quantity than any other metal in the world. Every clay-bank, every granitebed, is a bed of aluminum, but as yet no cheap and ready means of obtaining the metal has been found in spite of all attempts. Napoleon offered a large reward to any one discovering such a process, as, on account of its lightness, he wished to use the metal in his army for helmets and cuirasses. It is hardly possible to give an exact statement of the amount of aluminum in different days, since the composition of these earths varies greatly. Clays are impure silicates of aluminum, and, generally speaking, a good brick clay contains a tenth dr more by weight of the metal. This would be sufficient to plate the upper surface of the bricks, as they are commonly laid in sidewalks, with a layer of metallic aluminum a fifth of an inch deep* Or this samq amount of metal would form a layer one-third of an inch deep on the outside of the brick, as they are laid in our homes. So we find this hidden,* metal everywhere about us, and a princely fortune waits the man who caif bring it to the light.

Bronkin’s Boarding-House.

Bronkin left his boarding-house and now lives at a hotel. “What made you go away ?” said one of his late fellow-boarders. “f had a good reason,” he answered sulkily. “Of course you had, but what was it?” “Well, ril tell you. [I was at dinner the other day; and I heard the landlady and the waiter-girl talking out in the kitchen.” “What did they say?” ' “Why, the old lady asked if I was in the dining-room yet, and the girl said I was. / Then the old woman asked if I U&d .eaten everything on the table, and the girl saifl.

POLITICS AND POWDER.

What It Coats to Son a Campaign—Opinion of a Fireworks Maker. [Bocheater (N. Y.) Democrat.] “Five million dollars !’* “Yea, sir, live million dollars, of which two millions are spent for fireworks and three millions for uniforms, etc., every Presidential campaign.'* Thus said Mr. James Palmer, the Bochester fireworks maker, to eur reporter’s inquiry. “The average spent in off years for fireworks is over one million dollars.” “Do we import the bulk of our fireworks?*’ “No, sir, we import nothing but flrecrack/ era. We make the rest in this country. There are only ten fireworks establishments in America,’* Upon invitation of Superintendent Frederick Fitz Fichner, the reporter inspected the Palmer establishment, not without some fear and trembling at first. When the Superintendent saih he had been blown up twice, the reporter turtively asked: “Is not this business a little risky?” “l’es, I suppose it would be so considered by outsiders, but I have encountered greater dangers than any I find here, and don't feel concerned.” “i don’t quite catch your meaning?” “Weil, I have been in this business many years, and the constant though unconscious nervous strain has caused greater suffering than the explosions I have taken!’ Many a day I would be very dizzy, aud everything w6uld get dark. At other times I could scarcely'breathe from choking sensations. Then my appetite left me and I grew thin, weak, and lifeless. I was drowsy by day and wakeful by night My side pained me, my back ached, my limbs burned. I bloated fearfully aud one leg got paralyzed. For ten months I suffered desperately, and two prominent physicians gave me up for a dead man, sure.” “You don’t look it now.” “No, that’s so, but it was a fact just the same. When I found out my troublo, lat once resorted to Warner’s safe cure, and a dozen bottles put me In possession of the best health I ever expected to enjoy, and I was pronounced incurably sick with Bright’s disease. It is the most wonderlul medicine in the world.” “Indeed. You are a fortunate man. Is there any falling off in the fireworks business this year?” “Not at all. On the contrary it grows more popular every year, and this year wc have done an extraordinary business. Tho American people are getting quite as fond of display as the mercurial Frenchman, and they manifest it by rockets and volcanoes, political banner, campaign uniforms, etc. I reckon that $10,000,000 won’t cover the incidental political expenses of a Presidential campaign.”

The Divining Rod.

At the electrical exhibition in West Philadelphia, Dr. Raymond, of* New York, delivered a lecture on “The Divining Rod.” After an introductory allusion to the prevalence, even at the present day and in this country, of a belief in the divining-rod as a means of discovering springs, mineral veins, hidden treasures, and oil deposits, the lecturer described its various forms, the commonest of which resembles a letter Y, and consists of a forked branch of witch-hazel having this form. The ordinary forked rod is held in the two hands, each grasping the extremity of a prong, with the fingers closed and the palms up war cl, the shank or stem being horizontal or vertical or variously inclined, according to the preference of the operator. Carried in this manner over the surface, the rod is said to turn or dip over on nearing treasure veins, springs, etc., and even to give more complicated information by means of its movements, which have been at different times elaborately codified. The lecturer adopted, with some modification, the theory of Chevreul, suggesting that-, in the case of springs (and of mineral veins which are the conduits of springs) there are differences of temperature, heat-con-ductivity, etc., which might affect sensitive persons so that the unconscious volition and minute muscular movements of Chevreul might be thus occasioned. In the main, however, he regarded the present theory and practice of divining with the rod as the small, lingering remnant of a once powerful superstition, and entitled to the same respect as “planohette”—the object of curiosity, or of study from the standpoint of pyschology, but not worthy of the attention of geologists or prospectors.

Bursting a Gun.

Those old enough to carry a loaded gun should be too old to play tricks with it. They also ought to be so familiar with its use as to know that a slight resistance at the end of the muzzle will burst it, when fired. The following illustrations are suggestive as to the carelessness which arises from ignorance or foolhardiness: In bravado a young man placed the muzzle of his fowling-piece under the water and fired the charge. The result was the bursting of the barrel near the breech and the mutilation of his hand. Another placed and held the muzzle of his piece against a piece of plate window-glass and fired the charge—powder and bullet. The glass was shattered, so was the gun-barrel. Another instance was that of an experimenter who had heard that a candle could be fired from the barrel of a gun through an inch board. He drove a candle into the muzzle of the gun, fired, and the explosion split the barrel almost its entire length, and did not even drive the candle from the muzzle. Still another burst of a gun-barrel was caused by the use of wet grass for a wad, well rammed down over a charge I of shot.

A Connecticut Cat Story.

“Mrs. W.” sends to the Hartford (Conn.) Times this extraordinary cat story: “One night last summer, after midnight, when all the family were asleep, Taffy ran from the door of one bedroom to another, crying and blowing violently; evidently something'was the matter. My mother opened her ‘door, and ’ I opened mine, to wonder what As soofi jW the--cat saw us, she i v an a few steps forward and then back, as if urgnig us to follow her. guided us first <jbwn the stair, and tlieiithrough the kitchen to the door at the head of the Biairs leading cellar. Upon opening it, we discovered, to our great surpribe, that the ■Btside cellar door at the foot of the ■Kps had been carelessly Sfeft wide open W the servants, thus allowing free ingress if any evil-disposed J>erson chose to avail himself of it. I closed the door and looked it, whereupon Taffy quietly returned to her bed and slept peacefully the restef the night.” .. I* seeking converts it is always well ’to make sure that they are worth converting. A cause may be injured by the character of its adherents.

How a Grest Doctor Works.

To see my own work, I have been honored with the visits of a large number of surgeons from this continent, some of whom I see here now. I believe thev came with the belief that they would find I had some secret antiseptic agent, the use of which was the explanation of my success. If I have such an agent, it mnst be of universal (existence in nature, for I have made I some of my visitors take water from the tap and' put it into the basins for the sponges, and over the instruments, and into the abdomen. I have made them drink it, and have offered it to them for analysis, and so far I have not been detected in any exercise of magic. My visitors always ask to wbat I attribute my success, and I answer that I cannot tell. If I may formulate my own answers, they would be briefly to this effect: I have given up my life to this work, and I engage in no other kind of practice; therefore, I have a constant weekly experience of five or six of these operations, sometimes as many as eight or ten. I pay the most minute attention to every detail, and maintain an absolute rule of iron over my nurses and my patients. I will not, if I can avoid it, operate in a private house, for there I have no control over nurse or patient, still less over foolish friends. Finally, I gave great personal attention to cleanliness in every detail of my work. I trust no nurses or servants without overlooking; and I am constantly, and at unexpected times, turning up carpets, taking down shelves, and routing out cupboards. In this way, and by a process of weeding, I have obtained a large staff of good servants, and have founded a large establishment in which every available precaution is secured. I can give no other reasons than these for my success, and jftobably they will, commend themselves to you. —Address by Dr. Lawson Tait.

Wearing Away

To “the land o’ the leal,” as we all are, there is a mighty difference In our various rates of progress toward that goal. Some of us far on the down hill side of Hfe are infinitely more vigorous than those only half way on the up grade. Persons of advanced years, and those who experience premature symptoms of decay, will find in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters a reliable means of renewing bodily energy and counteracting growing infirmities. When the functions of the liver and kidneys or the action of the bowels are irregular or sluggish, this fine corrective institutes the necesary reform. Its value as a stomachic is speedily made manifest In improved digestion and appetite, a rapid gain in bodily strength and substance, and a disappearance of the despondency incident to chronic indigestion. It also conquers fbver and ague, rheumatism and other ailments. The number of dwelling-houses in Paris is about 90,000. The area of the whole city is 25 square miles, and the population over 2,000,000. A recent measure of the Conseil d’Etat ordains that henceforward no fiats shall be less than eight feet high; that in streets 25 feet wide the height of the houses must not exceed 40 feet; in streets between 25 and 32 feet wide tho height must not exceed 50 feet; in street between 32 and 65 feet wide the height must not exceed 60 feet; in streets above 65 feet wide the height must not exceed 65 feet, and no buildings are to have more than seven stories, all included. The Mason & Hamlin Company, long the most famous manufacturers of reed organs in the world, have commenced the manufacture of Upright Pianos, having effected an improvement which they regard as the most important introduced in many years. An ingenious arrangement fastens the strings directly to the iron plate of the instrument, giving greater clearness and purity of tone, with absence of all mere noise. At the same time it renders the instrument more durable, less liable to get out of order. The Mason & Hamlin Pianos are certainly exquisite instruments, and, coming from these thoroughly well-known makers, may be depended upon to be all they represent them. —Boston Journal.

How She Kept Tally.

At the theater a party of two ladies and two gentlemen were seated in the orchestra chairs. At the end of the first act the two men arose and, forcing their way past their unwilling neighbors, strode up the aisle with a snort of satisfaction. One of the ladies turned to her companion and said: “I always know the number of drinks my husband has had When he comes home from the theater at night.” “Why, how can you tell?” demanded the other. - “Oh, I take the door checks out of his pockets, and multiply each check by three.”— Exchange.

CONSUMPTION.

Important to the Public aCfTeU as the Medical Profession. Hall's Journal of Health , referring to Consumption, makes the following important statement: ./VJM ~ “Consumption usually beginfPfith a •light, dry cough in the morning, then on going to bed, getting more and more Jfrequoht with more and more phlegm, inrreUsin/ dWlttfl thinness of flesh, shortness of breath, and quickness of pulse. * In fatal cases its average course is about two years; hence the importance of arresting the disease at as early a stage as possible, and- the sooner rational means are employed for this purpose the greater the. chance of success.

“Over and Over Again.”

Repetition la sometimes the only way to impress a truth upon the mind. Accordingly take notice that Dr. Pierce's "Pleasant Purgative Pellets" (the original Little Liver Pills) continue to be wonderfully effective in cases of sick and nervous headache, constipation, Indigestion, rush of blood to the head, cold extremities, and till ailment* arising from obstruction of the bodily functions.
