prove satisfactory. as this bronze can be manu-

and far exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tons. The tensile strength Was shown to be
somewhat above 10000 pounds to the square
inch, which was largely in excess OF anything
ever before known. The transverse strength
was 5000 pounds On q bar one inch square, which
is only equalled by the finest quality OF crucible
steel. These and other late experiments, COM
bined with the remarkably cheapened processes
that have been discovered for preparing and
working the metal, point to almost infinite pos
siDilities in the uses OF aluminium.

DOCTOR BROWN DEAD.
From The Galena Gazette


DR.. j. Brown died in Tocoma. Wash
ington, April q, in the 73rd year Of lis
age.
Many Of the readers Of the GAZETTE
will remember DIR. Brown. He was the
father of Mrs. DR.. Stryker of this city.
We believe he came to Galens in 1865
and began the practice Of dentistry, sue
eeeding Dr. Pierce. He was a graduate
Of the Philadelphia College Of Dental
Surgery.
He was man possessed Of many Of the
noblest traits of mind and heart, kind and
loving towards his family, generous to a
fault, possessed of an untiring energy
and indomitable viii. He met reverses
brsyely. They seemed but to nerve him
for renewed struggle
He was.sustained by an undying faith
in the outcome of his efforts. A number
of years ago his sight began TO fail, and
realizing that this would prevent the con-
tinued practice Of his profession, he be-
gan the study of medicine This he pros
ecuted with characteristic energy, and at
the age of 6S graduated and began the
practice of that profession.
About two years since he went to
Washington Territory and located at
Tacoma. There he succeeded in secur
ing good practice, in which he had
marked success. Just as it seemed
brighter day was dawning amt hopes ear
nestly cherished about to be realized, he
began to suffer from heart trouble, which,
gradually developed from one stage to
another, until il ended as stated above.
Mrs. Brown had been with her nus
band for several months and lovingly |
administered to the wants as far as
human aid could.
