A Secret of Remarkable va'ue to ron
and Steel Industries.

A Secret of Remarkable vaue to ron
and Steel Industries.
The United States Secret-Service |
officers at Cincinnati, o., have un- |
earthed great invention. For three |
years past people of Newport, KY.
have been greatly exercised over
some mysterious oings in an old
building on the outskirts of town near
the mills. Any one approaching the
premises was at once ordered Oft. 1t
soon get rumored around that it was a
den of counterfeiters; that at night
thieves and highwaymen remelted
stolen jewelry, and suspicious
looking experts were noticed to enter
the old works. Stag, containing
traces of some brilliant metal was
found as evidence. This reaching the
ears of the United States authorities.
Thomas Coyne, of the Newport De-
tective Agency stationed there, was
put on the case.
He visited the old works. demanded
admission, which was granted to the
officer, and when he came away re-
ported the mysterious works only a
chemical decomposition and analytical
study. His visit, however, brought to
light the fact that in the old smelling
works a chemical process had been
| perfected that the brilliant particles
of metal gathered off the Stag dump
being nothing less than pure aluminium.
which had been smelted in water
jacketed steel retorts distilled from
| clay-cryolite, carbon, fluoride huxe
and other ingredients, crucibles being
useless to resist the strong basic fuxes
while this metal reduces silicon from
the substance of the pot, becoming it
self dark gray and brittle in con-
sequence. Mr.. Charles L. Harris
field, of Newport, KY, the ex-
pcrimenter in question, was seen by
your correspondent and acknowledged
that he had made the discovery, based
upon the theory of substitution without
the use of sodium, obviating the neces-
sity OF the usual costly intermediary
elements. The Importance of such a
process can be judged, aluminium being
the most generally diffused metal upon
earth; it has all the beauty of silver,
non-tarnishing, non-corrosive, stronger
and more lasting than silver, with only
one-fourth its weight, while for electro
plating purposes is superior to either
silver or gold. When alloyed, one
tenth of one per cent. of aluminium to
iron. steel or copper. increases the
homogeneous and tensile strength oil
the metal nearly one-half. The value
of this metal is inestimable. owing Il
it's alloying tenacity with any metal. -

A PECULIAR DISEASE.
Prostitution Of Those Employed Aboui
ElectrIc-Light Plants.

Prostitution Of Those Employed Aboui
Electric-Light Plants.
Not a little uneasiness is said to have
been caused In certain manufacturing
regions by the outbreak OF peculiar |
disease in persons whose duties neces.
sitate constant working under electric
light The disease, which is known ar
electric prostration." lays siege to the
subjects throat, face and temples.
Some very severe cases of it are re-
ported from Crensot, to an in France,
large number OF men being kept at
work in that town in factory where
metals are heated by an electric fur.
mace. The strength Of this furnace is
over one hundred thousand CANDLE
power. and while the heat is not in
itself sufficient to hurt the men, the
intense brilliancy of the light brings
on the electric prostration." The first
symptom is said to be painful sensat-
ton in the throat, followed by irrita-
ton and Inflammation of the eyes.
The victims skin meanwhile takes on
a copper-red color, while the pain in
the eyes is followed by copious dis
charges OF tears for forty-eight hours.
After four or five days the victims
skin peels off in places, and he is other
wise made to feel the unpleasant nature
| OF his situation.
The general outbreak OF such dis
ease as this would involve serious con-
sequences. The number OF men whose
employment brings them into contact
with the electric light is enormous,
and is calculated to increase at the
same rate as the comparatively new
agent supplants the old means Of IL
Elimination and becomes used as mo-
tive power. Some claim that the cleo
trio light is destined ultimately to SUI
persede gas as lighting power en-
tirely, and should this be the case, a
malady springing directly from con-
tact with the new power would be a
grave matter. The only remedy SO far
applied in cases of electric prostra-
ton" has been the wearing of a shade
over the eyes by the person affected by
it. This. however. while it relieves
the direct strain on the eyes. does not
mitigrate the gravity of the other
symptoms.
! The great minds that gave the cleo
trio light its being are naturally the
ones best calculated to provide a means
of remedying any unpleasant conse-
quences that may be entailed by its
use. To mind like Mr.. Edison's the
discovery of cure for electric pros
tratlon'' should be a simple matter
The malady bears an evident resem.
blance in some respects to the disease
known as .'color blindness" the vic
: Tins of which are workmen whose du-
ties entail a constant scanning of parti
colored lamps at night. The entire
subject is one that demands the atten
ton OF scientists. The electric light
