alloy will have n much higher tensile
strength nrnl ductility than those of
steel; that (hey would not be so liable to

Tho Monks and tho ladle*.
The Indian railway officials are likely
to bo placed in an embarrassing position,
for not only do English ladies demand to
travel alone, but the Buddhist monks
have requested to be allowed to do so
likewise. The government of Ceylon re-
plied to their reverences that when any
number of monks travel together they
will be accorded every facility for not
being intruded npon, but that the railway
certainly cannot give a single monk s
carriage himself.—London Life.
