And then came perplexities, difficulties, interests, and conflicting passions in life that he had not suspected, good that looked like evil, and evil that had an alloy of virtue, and the way was confused.
Magnesium was scarcely of any industrial value prior to the fall in price now recorded. Improved processes for its treatment have successfully engaged the attention of scientific men, and it is now capable of being used as an alloy with other metals.
This brass being for the most part soft and yellow, I made it extra hard by the addition of a due proportion of tin. It was then capable of retaining a fine edge. When I had exhausted the stock of old brass, I had to buy old copper, or new, in the form of ingot or tile copper, and when melted I added to it one-eighth of its weight of pure tin, which yielded the strongest alloy of the two metals.
Of course, each fraction will probably be an alloy of one kind or another, but I think maybe I'll be able to make them do." "But mayn't that whole chunk be a pure metal?" "It's conceivable, but not probable. There, she's beginning to separate at just below eighteen hundred! Platinum group coming out now, I think platinum, rhodium, iridium, and that gang, you know.
The National Government under the Articles of Confederation could destroy the commerce of an enemy, but could not retaliate upon the products of an unfriendly rival in time of peace. It could regulate the alloy and value of coins, but could not keep a State from issuing waggon-loads of paper money, destined to depreciate and to disturb its own finances.
Thus all risk of contractile tension, which is so dangerously eminent and inherent in the case of sand-mould castings, made of so exceedingly brittle an alloy as that of speculum metal, is entirely avoided.
Partly for these reasons, and partly because its electric character makes it especially capable of being rendered at will pervious or impervious to the apergic current, I resolved to make the outer and inner walls of an alloy of ..., while the space between should be filled up with a mass of concrete or cement, in its nature less penetrable to heat than any other substance which Nature has furnished or the wit of man constructed from her materials.
It would be a deed of charity, so the charitable professor applied himself to it with all his heart, slowly repeating the question. "The book says that the metallic mirrors are made of brass and an alloy of different metals is that true or is it not true?" "So the book says, Padre." "Liber dixit, ergo ita est. Don't pretend that you know more than the book does.
It is important, however, to avoid sudden heating and cooling of the joints, as this tends to destroy them. Clammond, Gulcher, and others have constructed useful thermo-piles for practical purposes. The metals forming these pairs are an alloy of bismuth and antimony for one and iron for the other. Prisms of the alloy are cast on strips of iron to form the junctions.
And which profess the Christian religion in most purity and with least extraneous alloy: 4. He will find, that all Christians agree in the fundamental articles of faith: 5. That all these articles are clearly expressed in the New Testament: 6. That no tenet should be believed to be of faith, unless the New Testament contains it.
