THE ALUMINIUM AGE.
WONDEBFUL PROGRESS IN THE
PRODUCTION OF THE M‘ETAL.
It: Cost Reduced from $200 :1 found
When Discovered to Fifty Cents. Bi-
cycles, Boats, Cubs and MTany Useful
Implements Made of It.
Aluminium,
metals, is rapidly coming into general
use. zt‘vvas discovered by Frederick
Wohler, a. German professor, in 1827;
but to St. Clair Deville, a Frenchman,
belongs the honor of being the founder
of the aluminium industry.
The first article made of this metal
was in compliment to Louis Napoleon—
who had helped Deville—a baby rattle
for the infant Prince Imperial.
In 1855, when the first aluminium
company was formed, the cost of a
pound of the metal was $200. In 1889
Charles M. Hall of Oberlin, 0.,patented
an electrolytic process. He .with a few
of his friends then started asmall plant-
on the bank 'of the Allegheny River
eighteen miles above Pittsburgh. ill‘vh'e
first-year .the company produced seven-
ty-five pounds of aluminium a day,
which they sold for $4.50 a pound. In
1895 a company built a large plant at
Niagara Falls, and this year they are
the youngest of all,
*1
building additional works. .When these ‘
'- are completed they will have an Out-
put of 11,000 pounds daily. This will
put the United States in front as the
largest aluminium producing country
in the world.
Aluminium’s weight is about one-
third that of iron, and only steel of the
highest quality and the best aluminium
bronze will give a greatér strength, for '
a given weight than aluminium; It
stands high inthe list of malleable met-
als, and can be drawn into wire 1—250th
of an inch 'in thickness; It is an excel-
lent cdnductor of electricity, and would
at 20 cents a pound take the place of
. copper for all electrical purposes.
In shipbuilding, where lightness is
demanded, aluminium meets every re-
quirement. Corrosion and galvanic
action are easily overcome by properly
painting the part subject to the action
of the water and by using aluminium
but to St. Clair Deville, a Frenchman
eral torpedo boats made'of aluminium,
rivets, France and Germany have sev-
eral torpedo boats made of aluminium,
and pleasure yachts every year are be- '
l
ing made of this metal. .
In Germany two’army corps are
equipped with aluminium, which in-
cludes chevrons and every article of
metal carried on the person, even the
buttons on the clothes and the pegs in
the shoes. The sword bayonet‘s, scab-
bards and contents are also made of
the metal. In Paris there is a cab made
of aluminium, and some of our best
racing’records have been made by
horses wearing aluminium shoes and
pulling aluminium Sulkies. For dec-
orating purposes it is better than sil-
ver, because the air, which blackens
silver so quickly, has no effect on it.
The President of one of the largest pal-
ace car companies in this country is
said to have remarked that the price
alone kept aluminium from being used
entirely in car decoration. A short time
ago an enterprising firm in Ohio built
several aluminium ducking boats, as‘
well as a number of rowboats."_ They
found that they were successful, espec-
ially the ducking boat, as this craft
was extremely light and non-sinkable.
Price has been the only drawback to
the general use of aluminium. but that
.will soon be such that the rich and poor
alike will be able to enjoy the great ad-
vantages which the metal offers. It
seems likely that the year 1897 will see
aluminium selling at less than 35 cents
a pound.
GLEAMS OF SUNLIGHTs
Never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you. .
Truth is a mighty weapon when
wielded by the weakest arm.
Some sort of charity will swallow
the egg and give away the shell.
Prosperity is no just Scale; adversity
is the only true balance to weigh
friends.
From the walks of humble life have
risen those who are the lights and
landmarks of mankind.
Learning is wealth to the poor, an
honor to the rich, an aid to the young,
and a support and comfort to the aged.
A word of kindness is seldom spoken
in vain. It is a seed which, even
when dropped by chance, springs. up a
flower. '
If a man be gracious to strangers it
shows he is a citizen of the world, and
that his heart. is no island cut off from
the other lands, but a continent that
joins them. .
Never be cast dewn by trifles. If a
spider breaks his web twenty times,
twenty times will he mend it. Make
up your mind to do a thing and you
will do it.
Crow Courts.
There are certain well defined facts
about birds which seem to prove that
they have a means of communication
with one another. Thus the holding
of crow courts in certain parts of the
Shetland Islands is common. A bill or
field is selected as a court, and the ses-
sion begins. The proceedings are con-
ducted silently, and, after the crew has
been convicted, the whole court falls
upon the prisoners, and they are
promptly exterminated. Ornitholo-
gists are of the opinion that the young
rook convicted of pilfering is invaria.
bly punished for doing so. In the early
spring young rook-s will steal sprigs
from the nests of their elders.’ While
the elders are away they begin their
depredations. The young thief is us-
ually found ‘out and convicted, and,
eight or ten rocks proceed at once to
the nest of the robber, and by way of
punishment, .they scatter his newly
'made bonse to the four winds.

. .THE NAVY’§_U§E_EESS_ BOATS.
Millions of Uncle Sam's};oney Spent in
Preparing for'll’ar..
.- During the last twenty years the
United States Government has squan-
dered millions of dollars experimenb
mg with plans for naval vessels. In
the. majority of cases, for the money
expended, the Government has ac-
quired a lot of vessels that are practi-
cally useless. These ships have been
tied up in‘ the several navy-yards and
allowed to rot.
The New York World says that of
all, the vessels that have been built for
experimental purposes, the ram Alarm,
designed by Rear-Admiral Porter, has
cost the largest sum.- ‘
The Alarm, an utter failure, with an-
other boat of more modern build, is
now lying in the basin back of the Ooh
Dock in the Brooklyn Navy-Yard. She
has been'tied up there for the past five
years and is 'slowly going to pieces.
The Alarm is one of the vesSels on
which the Government has squandered
hundreds of thousands of dollars, to
find only in the end that the boat is
anything but a success. .
The Alarm was built in' New York
early in 1874. She Was one of the first
01?th was then known as'modern
ironcluds. ' The, plans’were entirely dif-
'ferent from any the Government had
undertaken to work upon, and the al-
lowance given for her construction
was liberal. The measurements are
as follows: Over all, 158 feet 6 inches;
beam, moulded, 2Sfeet; mean draught,
10 feet 6 inches. '
The hull is of iron plates, ranging
from three-eighths of an inch on the
sides and stern to seven-eighths of an
inch in the ram. The decks and deck-
houses are built of hard wood. Back of
the after cabin is an iron conning
tower. The boat was driven with an or-
dinary engine of the type, with a Mal-
lory propeller, which was also used as
the steering apparatus. *
The ram protruded in thewaterabout'
26 feet. It was arranged with a. torpedo
outfit, besides which the only ordnance
carried by the vessel was a smooth
bore'15-incb rifle, mounted in the bow.
The woodwork is now broken in
many places- The roof of the deck
house has sank in, and the plates are
rusted and so rottonl that they are be-
ginning to fall apart.
The smokestack and air funnels are
going to pieces, and witli':: the next
few years the 'vessel of which so much
was expected and which cost the Gov-
ernment so much men-1;." will be at the
bottom of the basin.
Another one of the Government’s ex-
periments lies at the bow of the old
Alarm. This boat has cost the naval
experts considerable anxiety. It' is
one of the two torpedo boats built at
the Brooklyn Navy—Yard for the sec-
ond ch: as battleships; Maine. Neither
of the 3‘ 'ne’s torpedo boats has come
up to requirements. When these
-_ boats w e first launched it wusfound
too long and heavy to
be carried by the big battleship. A
more serious defect was discovered.
That was their inability to come up to
the speed required.
The Maine left the yard without her
torpedo boats. They were sent to the
shops and thoroughly overhauled and
altered. but without attaining the tie
sired effect.
The idea of using oil or petroleum as
they w "9
fuel to take theple so of cool was next.
tried. One of the boats was altered
so that a tank could be placed where
formerly the coal bunkers were, and
considerable money was expended to
make the observations.
The tests are now going on at the
yard, but success is as far away as
ever. The mechanism used in
burning the new fuel is con-
stantly giving away or burning
out. , They are replaced with
new ones, and thus the Government
squanders thousands of dollars, get-
ting nothing in return. ‘
"NEGRO STORIES.
:3
The Genuine Have No ‘Climax at the
' End. -
A cerrespondent of a Chicago news- ‘
[paper in the South has been making a
study of . the stories which the negro
people tell, and insist that the current
Gtories attributed to them are changed
and embellished by white men, to suit
the white man’s idea of what a story
should be. The real negro story, this
writer says, generally has no “come
rut” at all, and the negro mind is lust
as well suited with it in that shape as in
any other. As an example he repeats a
story told him by a. colored man about
a haunted house:
An old cabin had long been uninhab~
ited because it was said to have a
“ha’nt.” Finally a white man offered
fifty dollars to any negro who would go
and live in it and prove that it was not.
haunted.
‘A certain “Old Eph,” who did not
care for “ha’nts,” accepted the chal
lenge, and takingfifhis pipe and a jug.
went to the place, built a. big fire in rhu
fireplace. sat before it, lit his pipe; and
. drank from his jug, and about midnight.
fell asleep.
Soon afterward he awoke. The firs
was low. As Eph stirred in to replen-
ishit a ghostly hand was laid on his
shoulder. '
“See heah,” the mysterious presence
said—and it is now Uncle Eph himself
who is telling the story—“dey ain’t but
two on us heah!” _
“ ‘No, an’ dey ain’t gwine to be bu
one on us heah in about a. minute; I
says, anlI done lit out. I‘run an’ run.

“ ‘Yes,’ I says, ‘an dey’s gwins to bv

And here Uncle Eph lets go thestory. ’
The world will never know how he got
away from the “ha’nt,” and he would
probably be offended if he were asked.
