To prevent a tar aa practicable. the poMibility of failure in eUel plates, eauatd by deficient information ae to the proper method of treating tbie material, the Stesl com pany of Sootlaod bu published and direct the attention of nacre of ileal to the follow ing rulet I let) Welding la welding mild steel plate i not nsosssary to heat them to the earn hiith temnerataro ae in the oaee of iron. In stead of a "welding beat," a bright yellow heat ie uQioient; and if flux is required, it need only be three part clean atnd to on part oom mon salt, moistened, and thrown on the parts in th fire. W recommend that the weld be of the V form, in prsfsreno to th lap, and tbat it be treated in the uraal way 16 at is, lightly hammered on th V part. After th weld Is made and while th heat Is good, the part near and on either side of th weld should be lightly hammered. In making th weld, th fuel should be free of sulphur, otherwise red shortneee may result, (2d) Flanging In flanging, oar should b taken in th looal heating that th part are not overheated, and that no hammering or work is pot upon them while at a black beat) further, it would be well if work oould be eon tinuous until each flange is oompleted, or if the plat has to be laid aeide before It is nnlshed. it should be protected from chills, if it if not convenient to keen it warm. (3d) Annealing After completing either welding or Hanging, the whole pieo should be bested to a eberrv red beat, and slowly oooied. (4th) Orders la ordering eteel plates, oars should be taken to stats the purpose for which they are to be need, wpeeially in case where they are required to weld and naoge. COLOR RELATIONS OF METALS. In a paper on th oolor relation of copper, nlokeL oobalt, iron, manganese and chromium, read balor th Chemical society, Mr. T. Weylsy records aom remarkabl relation between solu tions of thee metals. It appears that Iron, oo balt and oopper form natural oolor group, for if solutions of their sulphates are mixed to gether In th proportions of 30 psrta of oopper, eight of iron and six of oobalt, th resulting liquid Is free from oolor, but la gray and par' tially opaque, It follow from this that I mixture, of any two of these element Is oom plemeotary to th third, if th abov propor turn are maintained, inus a solution bait (Dink) is complementary iron and oonper (bluish green)! iron (yellow) to mixtur ol oopper and oooait (violet) and a solution of oopper (blue) to a mixture o( oobalt and Iron (red). Hut, as Air. bayloy shows, a solution ol copper is exactly cairs. At a conflagration a worthy eltlsea gate with stupefaction on the steam flro-englnes. "Wsll, I bVI.
