but lavish as she is with iron and gold
and silver. she doled out aluminium in
minute quantities. The first knowledge
of the metal was in 1928. when Wohler
discovered it and waited eighteen years to
examine it further. French scientists
succeeded in extracting the metal from its
clay, but only at cost of over $40
pound. The Frenchmen required six
months to complete the process. Subse-
quently an English chemist succeeded in
reducing the time required to six days and
the cost to $40 pound, at which price it
still remains.
Now comes the report that an Ohio man
has discovered the secret OF manufactur-
ing aluminium at such q small cost az to
make the discovery a bonanza. worth
many millions OF dollars.
After twenty years of study and expert
ment this man has succeeded in finding q
means of obtaining the metal aluminium
by heat or a carbon process, hitherto
supposed to be impossible, and at cost
so extremely low as not to initiate against
its general adoption for the commoner
utensils used by man. Besides the great
reduction in the cost. the time required
has been reduced from six days to six

as steel, be stronger and lighter. With a
copper alloy it produces a rich yellow
metal which resembles and stands the

all other metals its merits may be added

made OF metal. 1t is not affected by acids,
does not oxidize from contact with the air

strength and ightness adapt it for
purposes where no other metal could be
used. The air ship of the future will be
constructed of it, the soldiers will all
wear bullet proof armor made of 1t, and
the theoretical uses of it are countless.
In practice the metal will be made into

Dreams and Fulfllments.

A French writer says that to dream well
we must act well while we are awake and
to bring down beings of celestial origin to
converse with us in our sleep we must
struggle in the cause of virtue during the
day. The dream of CBsars's wife, when
the ldes of March had come. as related
by Plutarch. is full OF interest. Caesar
was much disturbed by the greans she ut

then told him that she had dreamed of
