The president, although a skilled me tallurgist. confessed his inability to say what It was Ho Int* nt hod he become In examining the curious hit of metal that he forgot it was a visitor's card of intro duction. and did not even look for the mans name which It presumably bore. As he held the oerd up to get a better light upon it a stray sunbeam from the window fell across the me al and instant ly it bloomed with exquisite colors!
