Aluminium, the youngest of all met - &I& is rapidly taom* into general use. It was discovered by Frederick Wohler, a German professor, in 1827; but to St. Clair Deville, a Frenchman, belongs the honor of being the founder a the aluminium Industry, The first article made of this metal was to Compliment to Louis Napoleon -who bad helped Deville -a baby rat- tle for the infant Prince Imperial. A.Imminium's weight is about one- third that of iron, and only steel of the higher quality and the beat alum- inium bronze will give a greater istrength for a given weight than alum- inium. It stands high in the List of malleable metals, and can be drawn in- to wire 1 -260th of nn inch in thick - Gain. It is an excellent oonductow of electricity, and would at 20 cents a pound take the plana of ooppor for all sieatrioad purposes. In shipbuilding, where lightness is de- manded, aluminium meats every re- quiremeat. Corrosion and galvanic action are easily overcome by proper- ly painting the part subject to tha 4o - tion of the water and by using alumin- ium rivets. Fraooe and Germany have several tarpedo boats made of alu.min- iuur, and pleasure yachta every year are being oanstruoW of this mota - In Germany two army corpa are equipped with aluminium, which in- cludes chevrons awl 9very article of metal carried on the person, even the buttons on the clothes and the pega in the shoes. THE SWO1tD BAYONETS, scabbards and contents are also made of the metal. In Paris there is a cab made of aluminium, and some of our beat raoing records have been made by horses wearing aluminium shoes and Palling aluminauai sulkies. Por decorat- ing purposes it is better tban silver. be- cause the air, which blackens silver so quickly, hna no effect on it. The Pres- ident of one of the largest palace car companies in this country is said to have remarked that the price alone kept aluminium from be• used entirely in car decoration. A short time ago an enterprising firm in Ohio built several aLummium ducking boats, as well as 4 number of rowboats. They found they were very successful, especially the ducking boat, as this craft was. extroma,- ly light and non-ainkable. Price has been the only drawback to the general use of attuninium. but that will soon be such that the riot and Poor alike will be able to enjoy the great advantages which the metal of- fer&. It seems likely that the year 1897 will see aluminium selling at less than 95 cents a pound. Thuya the growth of this wonderful. metal has been spreading out in all di- rections. A few weeks ago an alum- inium bicycle was shipped to an eminent politician in England. Mr. Lialtour. Hors again its beauty and nomtarnishable qualities, together with its lightness, make it moat desirable. ' Cooks of the twentieth century will no doubt demand that their employers supply them with aluminium cooking utensils, as the metal is an excellent conductor of heat and it is almost im- possible to scorch anything while cook- ing. Dentists are aLreadx using it in making plates, as aluminium has its ADVANTAGES OVER GOLD. for on contaat with metallic substances no disagreeable electric ourreat is set up. For scientific instruments, such as sextants, transits, levels, &c., where the Lgertia of a heavy moving part is to be avoided, aluminium Ls the metal par excellence. Photographers find alu- minium flash -light powder better than the present magnesium, as it is cheap- er sad not so Liable to explode in pre- paration and produces none of the white fumes so disagreeable in the use of mag- neaium. Among other uses for alu- minium, are keys, watches, musical in- struments, car roofs, ice, and rollor akates, and many other articles which lack of space prevents mentioning. The sabstitution of aluminium for copper and nickel coins has Long been a subject of debate. The advantagea of aluminium for cwinage. 1. It takes a fine impression when stampeA 2. It wears remarkably well. 3. It resists corrosion better than copper. bronze, or any of the common metals. Besides this, if it does corrode slightly, the salts formed are harmless. which is more than can be said of any other metal. 4 Weight for weight It is cheaper than copper, and only slightly dearer than nickel alloy. 5. Lightness. Aluminium's weight is about one-third of that of copper or nickel, so we could reduce that weight 2,000 tons by adopting aluminium HorseLess carriages, whioh are attract- ing so much attention now, could be most advantageously built of alumin- ium, thereby making them not only much lighter, but much stronger. Sur- gical instruments are being made of aluminium. The harmleasness of the mesal makes it exceptionally desirable for use in surgery, and when a man has to be braced up he will find alum. inirun a great oomfart. THE CIGARETTE LLP. Cigarette smokers are threatened with aaot twr terror. This is the so-called 'cigarette lip." It is claimed by the in- ventor ventor of this mysterious term that the habit of perpetually holding a cigarette between the Lips causes the tipper lip to project over (the lower one.
