APPLICATION OF THE New METAL

APPLICATION OF THE New METAL
Aluminium is now being employed in the
casting of bells No metal or combination
of metals yields tune so musically sweet
when struck as aluminium; provided,
therefore, that the cost of Its production
be not too great, no metal can compare
with aluminium for casting for bells in
deed, a leading mineralogist has already
sold a considerable quantity Of aluminium
for this purpose. As to the cost of alumni
mum it may be already considered, bulk for
bulk, about onc-third the price of silver /;
and cryolite, the mineral fromwhich it can
be obtained with the greatest facility, is
found in an unlimited extent in Green
land
