The Aluminium Age.

From the Chicago Journal.
1t is possible that the aluminium age will
follow the iron age, just as the iron age followed
the bronze age. and the bronze age followed
that of the stone. In this respect it is inter-
esting to note that the discoverer Of the only
cheap method Of obtaining the metal has Just
died and the carefully kept secret has died with
him. Once more the entire world is a sufferer
through the avarice of single individual
The secret has been sought by thousands Of
scientists unsuccessfully, and will continue to
be. Some day, sooner or later, it will be again
found and the use of the metal aluminium will
follow the use OF iron as rapidly electricity
is supplanting steam. The results that will
follow the substitution of aluminium for iron
are enough to astound even the educated
thinkers of the nineteenth century 1t is OBJ
tanned from common clay and is the greatest
constituent of the earth's surface. In other
words, the whole earth is an immense aluminium
mine. The mills that produce it will be To-
Gated in the most convenient place, anywhere,
everywhere, and the ore, without mining or
freighting, will be found at their DOORS It's
cost will eventually become absolutely trifinp.
1t weighs but third as much as iron and but
about three times as much as wood-it is. in
fact, the tghtest metal capable of resisting the
action Of air in the presence of moisture. 1t is
the most sonorous of metals. 1t is as beautiful
as silver and does not tarnish. Fused with cop
per it will form a compound as beautiful as
gold and at the same time as strong as iron: it
is as hard as zinc and less easily affected by
acids than any metals except gold and plati-
mum. Thus it will be seen to possess nearly
every desirable quality that metal can have

Better Theater Orchestras.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
A very timely and sensible propaganda is that
with reference to the orcbestras in our city
theaters. 1t is q subject which has already too
long escaped the serious attention of the public
at large, and which, intimately associated as it
is with the general success of representations
in our various play houses, seems in no way to
have thus far been influenced by the spirit of
progress characteristic OF matters musical and
dramatic in this city within the past decade.
Speaking in a general way the selections" to
be heard in our best metropolitan theaters dur
ing the lntermlsslons OF a play and previous to
the rise of the curtain are on an infinitely lower
plane OF artistic merit than not only the
performance itself, but even the mere Incl
dental details Of stage and house decoration, of
lights and play bills which the careful manager
well knows are one and all factors of success.
OF our less prominent places of amusement
it Is needless to speak, as all initiative in the
line of improvement must come from the lead
ing theaters That the present state of affairs
has quietly been permitted to 90 on 30 long for
want OF protesting voice seems well nigh in
credible, for not only is the quality Of the mu-
inferior per Sc, but its rendering frequently
leaves everything to be desired. New York
may well claim to be unsteady on a par with
London if not, indeed, in certain respects. in
advance OF the larger capital, and yet the spirit
that leads Mr.. Henry Irving to commission Sir
Arthur Sullivan to compose the music for his
Macbeth" production, or Mr.. Beerbohm Tree
to engage so distinguished a leader as Herr
Carl Armbruster to conduct the Haymarket
theater orchestra, is all but unknown here.
1t devolves upon our leading managers to
turn their attention to the subject, which will
perhaps be all the more difficult to tackle, as
the majority in their audiences have yet to be
educated ny to higher and better musical
taste. The reorganization Of our theater
orchestras, and the careful supervision Of their
programs by musicians; Of accepted ability, is,
however, what is undoubtedly needed, and
whatever can be effected in that way cannot
but be step in the right direction.

ALBAUoH's GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-The spec

well placed upon the stage at Albaushs last
night. The interest conferred in the perform
ance of Mr.. Creston Clarke, who assumed the
dual character Of the adventurer Carlos ana
Marquis Del Monte, q Mexican nobleman. Mr..
Clarke has fine stage presence, mobile coun-
tenance, easy and graceful carriage ana voice
pleasing in tone and well under CONTROL. He
reminds one more of his uncle-Edwin Booth
than of his father-John s. Clarke-one OF the
best comedians America has produced. Mr..
Clarke is capable of much better work than
this play gives him opportunity for, still his
performance is conscientious and painstaking.
His support is in the main good. "The Sea of

NEW NATIONAL THEATER.-One Of the best of
modern plays, Jim the Penman." delighted
a good-sized audience at the New National
Theater last night. The company, with the
exception of Mr.. Jos. Whiting. were new here,
but all fulfilled the requirements of their sew
eral parts. Mr.. Baker is not W. J. Ferguson
by any means, but MIR. Kent when he becomes
more at ease in the character, will make Baron
Hdrtfeid equal to Alexander Salvini. Miss
Wilton was little constrained in the earlier
scenes, but in the third act she showed con-
siderable power and intensity. Mr.. Whiting
has SO thoroughly identified himself with the
title roll that it only need be said that his per-

has heretofore given in the part Those who
remember Mr.. Whiting when he was walking

evidence of her power. She gave a perform

Curious Contradictions in Character.

Curious Contradictions in Character.
From the Chicago Mail
speaking of dogs" said a yarn-spinning
boat-club man, chuckling softly to himself over
some mirth-provoking memory, ''there was a
queer thing happened one day last week. One
OF the young fellows belonging to the boat club
has pretty hot temper although he's mighty
good-hearted boy. Well, the pup that belongs
to the fellow that tends to the club house
chewed up 81 hat on young Blank and it
made him pretty hot. He swore he'd kill that
blasted pup, and he chased him all over the
pier with that intention, but the pup was too
lively for him and led him a regular chase
Finally the boy got the dog cornered out at the
pier mead, and the pup, as a last resort jumped
overheard. Over goes Blank after him and
swims him down, for the dog was no swimmer
well, he just pounded the face off that pup and
soused him under 30 much that two or three
women standing round said he was perfect
brute. The next day young Blank came down
again. There was an awful sea on; never saw
worse. The water was breaking clear over the
pier and sending the suds over the club house
roof. Bank had to make a run for it to get
down the pier as far as the club house. The dog
saw him coming and thinking, suppose. that
he was going to soak 1t to him again he made a
sneak down the pier and pumped off the end
right IN among those broken rocks and Jagged
piles. 1t was sure death for the dog with such
sea running. Blank stood and figured a
minute. He is pretty good boatman and a first
rate swimmer. but he knew man with boat
hadn't one chance in thousand Of getting out
to that pup and getting in again safe. He
turned and went into the club house. chucked
off his coat and shoes, got down a boat, and
somehow-the Lord knows how, don't-got
her over the lee side of the pier and tumbled
into her. He got the dog all right, but it was
queer thing for him to do now wasn't it9 To
risk his life for worthless cur that he'd been
bent on drowning the day before!'
thought it wasn't 80 queer, after ALL and
would like to know that young fellow; he's
worth knowing.

Some Cleans of Reason Left.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The desperate adventurer had taken his
place in the barrel that was to carry him safely
through the raging whirlpool or dash against
the rock and toss in splintered fragments on
the foaming waters beneath whose treacher-
Gus waves his mangled body should feed the
fishes.
Are you ready for the closing of the man
hole?" inquired an assistant
mol" he exclaimed in deep voice as he
rose up in his barrel and looked about him
with iron resolution written in every line of his
pale face. II may be meat for the fool-killer,"
he continued, ''as the newspapers say am,
but if this should happen to be my last trip I'm
not such billy-be-dinged fool as to want to be
found with these things on my body!"
Taking from his pocket small box he threw
it away, crouched down in his narrow quarters
again, and in a few moments his barrel-like
craft was tossing about in the angry maelstrom
What had he thrown away, do you ask? A
package Of cigarettes.
