CURIOUS HEAT TRANSFERENCE.
A workman in the observatory at Toulouse lias invited attention to a singular phenomenon. A bar of iron is taken Ijy the end and the other end is plunged into a fire, heating it strongly, but 1 not so much that the hand cannot retain its hold. The heated end is then placed into a pail of jc;ld water. Immediately the other end becomes so hot that it is impossible to bold it. This phenomenon, familiar ,tb workmen in iron, is ascribed by them to some repellant action they suppose tho sudden cold exerts upon the heat contained in the iron, which is thus driven to the opposite extremity.
