The welding of almainuun is a discovery of W. C. Hereans, of Hansy. It is found that the inatal becomes soft when heated by u. blow-
oxists within narrow limits, and that two pieces may then be so firmly joined by hammering that no join can be detected. As no oxide is formed at the welding temperature; no tha k required.

A be determination, by M. Periotin, place the velocity of light ut 10238 miles per second. Another industrial transformation through the use of elociicity is looked for by Mr. E: Bailey. of York, England. He uses the øketrie are for volatilising pig-load, and exposos the metal lic vaporto saitable gases for converting it into curbonate of lead-the white lend of commerce mal other lead compounds. The appartus being hermotically sealed, the nšm! groat risk of poisoning is removed... The inmes pass into canvas-roofed chambers, where the fine dry powdered white load falls down, while the w
condensible gases escape through the enavas.
Grinding, washing, drying and other objection- able processes of the present dangerous industry are made unnecessary. It is claimed that this rapid and direct method of manufacture will cheapen the cost at least 30 per cent, under usual conditions, and that the economy may be even
gater with water-power or cheap fuel.
The steams motro of A. Frideborg, of Berlin, is a single but ingenious device placed in horizontal longth of the main through which the steam passes. It consists of a flap- plate, actuating through a sector and rack a conical plug-valve in the top of the main, and as the steam flows through the pipe this plate rims toward a horizontal position, opening the valve to a degree corresponding to
the amount of steam passing. The quantity of steam being used is readily determined from that escaping through the valve. This is con- densed, and either permitted to low into a
