N Paris M. Moissan has recently suc-
ceeded in preparing fairly large masses
of pure molybdenum. The metal thus ob-
tained has a specific gravity of 9, and is
only fused with difficulty. The pure metal
is quite as soft and as malleable as wrought
iron, and can be easily forged at a red heat,
says The Engineering and Mining Journal.
It can be preserved without oxidation un-
der water for several days. The most re-
markable property of the metal is, however,
the fact that it can be cemented like wrought
iron, forming a "steel," if the term may
be used, which can be tempered similarly
to ordinary steel. Moreover, cast molyb-
denum containing several per cent, of car-
bon can be softened by placing it in a mass
of oxid of the metal, just as in the ordinary
process of making malleable castings. Hav-
ing a very great affinity for oxygen, M.
Moissan suggests that it may be usefully
added to the iron in a converter, replacing
manganese or aluminum. As the oxid of
the metal is volatile, it does not remain in
the converter.

HE administration of Winthrop Col-
lege, Columbia, S. C , recently
awarded Theodore Wenzel, of Charleston,
S. C , the contract for the immediate supply
of five "Conover" pianos, also the future
supply of all instruments required, amount-
ing probably to about ten during the next
year. The selection was made from among
a large number of instruments sent by
many leading manufacturers of the coun-
try.
