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.

habit of perpetually holding a cigarette
