for coating metal plates. Junot, 1852, alloyed silicum, titanium, tungsten, etc., with nickel for electro deposition. Thomas, 1854, used ferro-cyanide of potassium and nitromuriatic acid to obtain a nickel solution for the battery. In 1855 he used the same, with carbonate of ammonia and oxide of alumina. Cheatley, 1855, deposited alloys of nickel by a battery (British patent 1543, of 1855). An alloy of nickel was applied to iron plates by friction and heat by Barron in 1856 Shepard, 1858, deposited an alloy of silver and nickel. The solution is made by adding carbonate of ammonia to a solution of nitrate of silver, then a similar solution of carbonate of nickel in carbonate of ammonia. An anode of one part silver and two parts nickel is used Cyanide of potassium may be used in the battery. Adams, United States patent No. 57, 271, 1866, coats gastips with nickel. Same, 1869, uses solution of sulphate of nickel in solution of sulphite or bisulphite of ammonia. Sa
