 required when the diatoms are taken from a solution of alkali.]

 Wedding, H. — Properties of Malleable Iron. 



[" Microscopical iuvestigntion had led him to modify the explanation of 

 welding he had given some years ago. He had now come to the con- 

 clusion that the strength of a finished piece of iron depends on the 

 sectional area of the mass of iron it contains. From the total sectional 

 area of a piece of weld iron, the slag conclusions, and in the case of ingot 

 iron the blow-holes, must be deducted. This calculation is decidedly in 

 favour of the ingot iron, though he pointed out it can only be superficially 

 cfl'ected, even with our present knowledge of microscopy."]
