The Properties of Aluminium.

To the layman few statistics about
aluminium may be instructive. The ato-
mic weight is pa. With iron three or
four pounds of aluminium to the ton
reaches the melting point to such a
liquid state that it can be run into the
finest interstices of the mould and pro-
duce the finest castings and considerably
improve the quality of the iron. With
copper saluminum very easily amalga-
mates, improving the quality, appear
ance and resembles gold. Useful results
are obtained with about five per cent.
Aluminium also amalgamates with many
other metals, and this is boundless
track for experiments.
Aluminium is sonorous, and doubtless
when alloyed with other metals would
produce as good an effect as now can be
produced from the finest bell metal. Its
lightness in this respect would be of ad-
vantage for high elevations. The specific
gravity of the metal is 2.55. 1t is about
one-seventh the weight of gold, about
one-tifth the weight of lead, AID, roughly
speaking, about one-third the weight of
copper, zinc or iron. The melting point
of aluminium is about 1900 degrees
Fahrenheit, while that of iron is almost
double this temperature.
The electrical conductivity is stated to
be eighteen times that of iron. Its elas-
ITCHY may be taken to be equal to silver.
1t is non-solublc in sulphuric acid, which
acid, produced from coal combustion, is
so destructible to iron, zinc and marble.
1t can be beaten into plates as thin as
tissue-paper and drawn out into wire as
as the the finest silk. 1t does
not oxidize like iron, consequently does
not rust, and requires no paints or pro-
lection from the influence of the atmos-
phere. and Steel Trades Journal.

WISE WORDS.

Get to the root of things.
The idle boy is often father Of the
tramp.
1t will not do to have two mainmasts
in ship.
Experience is an admirable teacher,
though often very severe and expensive.
There is poetry and there is beauty in
real sympathy; but there is more-there
is action.
Habits of industry are as truly the re-
suit of training and association as are
habits of idleness and negligence.
Provide some useful employment for
the children, then make it as agreeable
as possible so they will love their work
and take an interest in it.
1t is no doubt difficult thing to do.
to defy the power of society, but the sky
and earth will always cover a man, and
no one can boast of being better COW
cred.
A person will be more comfortable to
be society ostracised, even if all doors
are closed against him, than to carry a
hypocritical heart encased in the most
faultless manners.
The noblest and most powerful form
of sympathy is not merely the respon-
sive tears, the echoed sigh, the answer
ing look; it is the embodiment of the
sentiment in actual help.
AS penny held close to the eye will
shut out the glorious light of the sun,
so the habit of petty gossip, mean and
poor as it is, will quite obscure all the
light which intelligence, thought and
warm sympathy would shed upon hui
manity.
See that your child never leaves any
task half done or slovenly finished; there
fore give not too many tasks. Thorough
ness is the cornerstone of success. No
place in the world now for smatterers;
but always honorable places for those
who can do any kind of honest work in
the best manner.
Brevity is justly demanded of all who
seek attention of the public in this nine
teenth century and in this brief human
life. We need to set high value upon
directness and dispatch. Time flies.
The average man is very busy. The age
is of rapid movement; it is the era of
railroad, telegraph, telephone. There
fore, waste no words; what thou hast to
say, say quickly.

Transmitting Pictures Electrically.

Not many months ago a new system of
sending pictures by telegraph was de-
ecribed in the electrical journals. The
principle of this process was the division
of the picture to be sent into squares,
each square being numbered to corre-
spond with a paper similarly prepared
and to be used at distant point, to be
drawn upon according to the direction
sent from the transmitting station by the
number communicated. While applic-
able to pictures having only straight
lines, the process was not found feasible
for the transmission of portraits. For
this purpose an improved method has
been suggested, by which it is claimed
that an exact reproduction in chiaroscuro
of the original photograph can be elec-
trically transmitted to the receiving sta

Two Polite Naval Officers.

A retired officer of the navy said:
"The true Chesterfield of the navy, so
far as my experience and estimate goes,
was Rear-Admiral William E. Leroy,
who died in 1888. When Admiral
Farragut commanded the European
Squadron, just after the war, Rear-Ad-
miral, then Captain, Leroy was his Chief
of-Staff. One day the franklin alag
ship arrived in French port, dropped
her anchor, and before there was time
to get out her accommodation ladder, a
French Captain, Chief Staff to the
resident Port Admiral, came on board to
pay his respects to Admiral Farragut.
Captain Leroy received him at the gang
way, escorted hlm to tho Admiral's
cabin, where he made brief visit, offer
ing the usual civilities, etc., then re-
turned with him to the quarterback and
accompanied him to the gangway, both
bowing and scraping like French dane.
ing-masters.
Finally, the French Captain stepped
up into the gangway, aud, facing about,
made his farewell bow; then, forgetting
that there was no outside ladder shipped,
stepped back on what he thought would
be the upper landing, and of course went
overheard like shot-epaulettes,
cooked hat, sword and all. Leroy inn
mediately gave the order to 'lower the
life-buoy;' then taking his station in the
gangway, watched for the temperance
of the Frenchman, and as he bobbed up
serenely, made him a most profound
salaam. The French Captain was saved
from drowning, but it is said he died
only few days later of broken heart.

An English inventor has constructed a
novel device to do away with the enormous
pressure of water against the bows of
ocean steamers. 1t consists of one or more
screws on each side of the bow, which
throws the water aside and creates dry

Many years ago an ocean steamship
made only ten or twelve revolutions of the
engine. using only five pounds Of steam
pressure. With this she averaged about
eight knots. High powered ships of the
present day use thirty-six times this pres
