cjot. IL asked TO name the most precious
metals would mention gold "a first,
platinum a. second. and silver as third.
II asked 10 name others few might add
nickel and very few aluminium 10 the
list. Let us see how near to the truth
they would be. Gold is worth about
$40 per pound, troy platinum. $3.50,
and silver about $l2. Nickel would be
quoted at about GO cents, and pure
aluminium 81 or 50 to the troy pound.
We will now compare these prices with
those of the rarer and less we'll known Of
the metals To take them in alphabet
cal order, barium sells for 1915 a pound,
when it is sold at all, and calcium is
worth 81, 500 pound. Cerium is a shade
higher-its cost is 500 an ounce or
81, 800 a pound.
These begin to look like fabulous
prices but they do not reach the high
est point. Chromium brings $500, Co
bait falls 10 about half the price Of silver,
while didymium is the same price as CO.
rum and erbium $40 cheaper on the
ounce than calcium, or just 1850 per
pound.
III the wealth Of the Vsnderbilts be not
overstated it amounts 10 $500, 900, 900.
With this sum they could purchase 3l2
tons of gold and have nothing left over,
but they couldn't buy two tons of gal
lium, that rare metal being worth 80. 300
an ounce. With this metal the highest
-, - ho
called the rarest and most precious of
metals.
Glucinum is worth $3.50 per ounce :;
indium, Sl5S iridium, 1868 a pound !;
lsnthanium, Sl75, and lithium Sl60 per
ounce. Medium costs $l28 per ounce !;
asmium, palladium, platinum, pOtos-
sum, and rhodium bring, respectively,
500. 800, $3.50, S32, and S5l2 per
pound. Strontium costs Sl2S an ounce !;
tantaum, 2l44; telurium, 81 thorium,
S272 vanadium, 1920; yttrium, Sl4l,
and chromium, $3.50 an ounce.
Thus we see that the commonly
received opinion as TO what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous.
Barium is more than four times as valu-
able as gold and gallium more than
1O2 times as costly. while many Of the
metals are twice and thrice as valuable.
Aluminium. which now costs So or 80
pound, will eventually be pro-
duced as cheaply as steel. When
this can be done it will push
tine latter metal out of great
many OF its present uses, as it possesses
great strength, toughness, and elasticity,
with extreme lightness of weight. Its
sources of supply are inexhaustible, and
its present high cost arises FROM the
difficulty Of lis extraction In a metallic
form. lndium seems to be chiefly used
for pointing gold pens, and many OF the
metals mentioned have but limited
sphere Of usefulness.

morning of that day all the churches of
the city were thronged with devout wor-
shippers. A procession was formed at
noon under Colonel Lewis, consisting OF
the body of State troops which had re-
ceived the President elect on his landing

Presidents house, situated on Cherry
street few doors from Franklin Square,
and halted in front of Federal Hall, be-
fore which. on level with the second
story Of the building, was an open space
so situated as to be commanded by spec
tstors on both Broad and Wall streets.
The procession separated into two parts
facing inwardly and General Wash
ington marched between the lines of
men with John Jay, General Knox,
Chancellor Livingston, and other emf
nent people as his companions. Enter
ing the building lie assembled to the
second story, where was situated the SEN
ate chamber, in which both branches Of
Congress were assembled TO greet him.
The ceremony Of introduction over, the
President elect stepped out on the open
space before mentioned, in full view Of
the assembled multitude, interspersed
with which were military compa-
MES more or less distinguished for pic
turesqueness of uniform and all for
their proud and martial bearing, con-
scious Of the great results of their patri-
otto valor. Senators and Representa-
tiyes filled the balcony and the space be-
hind it. Washington wore a suit of
brown cloth his stockings were Of
white silk; he were no hat; his hair
was powdered and dressed in the quaint
fashion Of the time. On his right was
Vice President Adams, who had been
indicted into Office Il few days before
Roger Sherman, Alexander Hamilton,
General Knox, and Baron Steuben were
among the distinguished men standing
behind the greatest historic figure of the
age.
The ceremony of Inauguration was
conducted in this manner Chancellor
Livingston stood opposite Washington,
and between the two men, one OF whom
was prepared to administer and the other
TO take the oath of Office, stood the Sec
rotary OF the Senate, holding an open
