An Aluminium Steamboat,

Some novel and interesting experiments
have recently been made on the Lake of
Zurich with a steamboat built entirely of
aluminium, which claims to be the first of
its kind. The boat weighs only about half
a ton-viz., about half the weight of an Or
binary boat of the same size. 1t was built
at Zurich, the metal having been furnished
by the aluminium works in Schaffhausen,
where it is obtained by an electrical pro-
cess, the dynamos being driven, not by
steam engines, but by turbines, which
utilize the water power of the celebrated
falls of the Rhine, 50 that the boat claims
to be exclusively the product of Swiss
labor and power.
1t carries eight persons, and, with pc
troleum engine of only two horsepower,
easily makes six miles an hour Alumni.

The so called nervous women, who make
everybody around them wretched with

with their unbearable temper, are very
often, women of robust health, who will
walk miles in pursuit of a shopping fancy

of fine nervous temperament, delicate and
sensitive as only such people can be, are
the very last to wound the feelings of their
friends by a coarse display of irritability or
by selfshness. 1t is an essentially coarse
and selfish woman who will make every
one around her wretched by her irritability
and whims.--New York Tribune.
