Aluminium As an Alloy.

But the chief uses of aluminium are in the
forms of alloy, which seem destined to AXE
the place of steel, iron and other metals
where they are exposed to heavy work, its
tensile strength being far greater than that
of steel. The chief alloys are copper and
anthony, but alleged with brass it gives
out a clear, ringing sound when struck and
makes an excellent metal for bells. Alu-
minum bronze is used in making propeller
screws, it not being affected by water, ana
neither does it corrode. Aluminium iron
holds its color, gives a finer grain and pre-
vents sand holes in the casting. Alloyed
with zinc, copper and nickel it has q pale,
yellow tint, while with 5 per cent. aluminium
and the rest copper it takes a rich yellow
similar to brass. These alloys are used for
harness. or wherever a yellow metal is de
sired. They are rapidly taking the place of
brass, being far less apt to tarnish and much
more easily cleaned. The new White Star
steamers now being made in England are be
ing fitted with this metal in preference to
any other. There would also seem to be a
large field for it in the manufacture of must
cal instruments that are now made of brass.

ELECTRICAL INVENTIONS.
tome OF the contrivances to be Seen Mt
the Patent ONCE.

FSA-O OA Nho - DO SSSN -
the Patent ONCE.
The electrical inventions of the patent Of
dee nave within the last ten years grown
into mammoth proportions. The great
American brain seems to be devoting itself
90 electricity just now, and there is a class
mere devoted to this subject. In it are the
divisions of electric signaling, telegraphy,
telephony, electric lighting, medical electric
lty, electric motive power, electricity genera
ton, electricity conductors and others. Each
Of these classes have sub-classes, and new
classihcations have to be made every year or
two. Before 1876 there were less than two
thousand patents granted for electricity,
Since that time over eight thousand have
been granted, and we now give out over a
thousand patents or electrical inventions
every year.
And still electricity is in its infancy. Il
has made many of the big fortunes of today,
md the Bell telephone and the Western
Union telegraph are founied upon it. There
arc now electric street cars in many Of the
cities of the country, and a company has been
formed in Baltimore to run u lightning ex-
press over an elevated railroad across the
country for the carrying of mail and import
ant express matter. The car used will be. /
understand, about the size of the average dry
goods box, and the speed will be 600 miles ~
hour. This will beat the telegraph and pnau-
matte tube, and it will revolutionize much OF
the business of the country. By it u letter in
your own handwriting can go from New
York to Washington in twenty minutes, and
Chicago will get the New York papers fc-
breakfast. w. will be able to serd u PACK
age from New York to San Francisco in Eve
hours, and the outcome of the whole will be
that passenger travel will be carried on in the
same way.
The romance of electric inventions has not
its counterpart in fiction. A little more than
a decade ago, Telephone Bell, who is now
worth $4,000, 900, was walking about Wash
ington ION his uppers" and trying to sell his
telephone stock for ten cents on the dollar.
Shortly before this he was teaching a deaf
and dumb school in Boston, and his pocket
book was in a continual state of ~leanness.
Now he has an income of hundreds of dollars
a day. He is surrounded by fine pictures,
OWNS q magnificent residence, and his soul
rejoices in all the fairness which money can
give.
The telephone gavea great impetus to cleo
trical inventions. The electric light soon
followed it, and there is a millionaire in
Cleveland, named Brush, who was working
ut SIS a week before he struck the light which
turned his poverty into fabulous wealth. l
met an assistant of Edison in New York last
week, and he tells me that the photograph,
which is to be run by a small electric motor,
is about perfected, and that it will be in gen
eral use before many months. 1t will cost
less than 500, and one can talk his ideas into
it and have them reproduced in the same
language and tones in which he uttered
them.

When the Mountains We're Made.

The chief beauty of Mount Desert Island is
in its mountains. From a little distance they
seem to rise grandly out of the very blue of
the sea. The highest, Mount Green, reaches
an elevation of nearly 1000 feet. AS YOU
approach the sunshine flooding their rounded
peaks gives them a bronzed, metallic appear
ance. But from a league away their real
beauty and grandeur break lovingly upon
the vision. Verdure clad in Glaces, again
showing massive bulwarks of rock. and from
each height sloping in graceful undulations
to the sea, n rare and winsome charm, as
well as a broad and stalwart majesty, pos
sesses them. Wherever one may be within
sight of the splendid masses it is impossible
to cease their contemplation. Thus musing
on them in the spirit of geologic conjecture
and revelry, l half unconsciously asked my
skipper if he had any idea of their age.
"a lee-tle up'ard N n hundred year" he
answered promptly. l looked at him with
amazement, and it nettled him.
"a lee-tle up'ard n a hundred yearIn he
repeated stolidly, setting his teeth hard upon
his tobacco and cycling me askance, as il
with initiatory feelings of resentment at my
u-naccountable ignorance. "Thcm ar thir.
teen mountings amt thar fur nuthin'. Them
ar thirteen self same mountings riz plum up
outen the bay the very day they d'clar'd

"But, captain,"I pleaded, aghast at this
startling revelation, ''you know De Monts
and Champlain discovered the island Just
2S4 years ago; named it .'L'Isle des Monts

The clever person is always practical,
always adaptable, always and urchang-
ingly clever. He never misses his chance.
Like ColeridGe's raven who picked up
the acorn and buried it straight and
came back and dwelt there when tho
acorn was grown to q tail oak tree" the
clever man let's no opportunity escape.
Men Who do not see the acorn or do not
heed it are left to grUmble in old age be-
cause there is no tree to cover them.
There are hundreds OF chances in Il mans
life, and clever people grasp them at once
and Il them into substantial blessings.
Genius too often misses its chance. and is
sublime, but a failure. But the man Of
tact misses nothing, quarrels with none,
enjoys life to its latest breath, and. per
haps because of his success, leaves a
sweet remembrance to blossom after him.
This is what most people call luck.
Grant saw his chance in the late war and
graspcd it; Lincoln saw his opportunity
in the great debate with Douglas and
seized upon it, and tho world, looking
upon their early struggles and drawbacks,
arc apt to call them lucky. Men who
heard the first faint sigh for mustard,
cod liver oil, pickles, sewing machines or
hair wash have enriched themselves by
their practical adaptability to the needs
OF mankind. Talent and genius are usu-
ally mighty uncomfortable to live with,
but cleverness goes with the stream and
gives US what we like best and what we
want. It comes in n white flannel suit in
summer and mutiled up in furs and on
skates in winter. This is the kind of
people-and the only kind-to invite to
your house to bring their trunks and
spend a week or a year,-Berkeley in New
York Mercury.

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
A Widespread but Mistaken BeIef-Rest
for the Brain.

fog the Brain.
There is a Widespread superstition, cher
ished by the great majority of the people,
that to sleep Immediately after they nave
taken food is to endanger health, to favor
the onset of apoplexy, etc.-a superstition
based on the assumption that during sleep
the brain is normally congested. There is,
no doubt, such a thing as congestive sleep,
but during normal sleep the brain is a nnmic.
When a person has taken a fairly abundant
lunch or dinner the stomach demands a
special influx of blood wherewith to accom-
plish its work of digestion; no organ can
more easily comply with that demand than
the brain, which, when in full activity, is
suffused with a maximum amount of the
vital fluid.
But a derivation of blood from the brain
to the stomach can only take place, except in
exceptionally full blooded and vigorous per
sons, on the condition that the cerebral func-
tions be meanwhile partially or wholly sus-
pended Hence many people after taking
dinner feel indisposed for mental action, and
not a few long for sleep. The already par
TALLY anamic brain would i yield up
to the stomach q SIN tIr1hcr supply
of blood and "-rf up to re-
freshing sleep. r;:- 90 it gains new
strength; meanwhile digestion proceeds en-
ergeticallyI and soon body and mind are
again equipped to continue in full force the
battle of life. But superstition, the child of
ignorance, intervenes, declares that sleep
during digestion is dangerous, admonishes
the would be sleepers to struggle against
their perilous inclination, and, though telling
them that after dinner they may sit awhile,
assures them of the adage, latter supper
walk a mile.n
The millions of its victims continue, there
fore, the STRIFE to which it condemns them,
and ignore the suggestions offered to them
by the lower animals, who have always prac-
ticed the lessons of sound physiology by
sleeping after feeding whenever they are al
lowed to do SO. Hence the human brain and
human stomach of such victims contend
with each other during the digestive process;
the brain, impelled by superstition, strives
to work and demands blood to work with,
while the stomach, stimulated by its con-
tents, strives to carry on its marvellous chem
istry, and demands an ample supply of blood
for the purpose. The result of the struggle
is that neither is able to do its work well
the brain is enfeebled by being denied its
natural rest during the digestive process, and
the healthy function of the stomach degener.

no virtue in the preparation. If he only
