SHIPS BUILT OF ALUMINIUM.

by the Use of That Metal the Weight
Can BE Reduced One-Haif.
Fifty years ago the introduction OF iron
as a building material created a revolution
in the science and art of shipbuilding,
says the Leeds. England, Mercury. 1t ia now
certain that in the very near future an even
more important revolution will be created
by the introduction with aluminium. A t
present there are in existence but five small
craft constructed of this metal. Three are
petroleum yachts. which were built this
year at Zurich. One ia a Swedish lifeboat.
The fifth Is a yacht which ia now complet-
ing for sea in this country.
Until two or three years ago the high
price of aluminium entirely barred the way
TO its general usefulness, but the metal has
since become much cheaper, and to the
shipbuilder il offers 10 many striking ad-
yantages that, even at the comparatively
high price which is still charged for it,
it is sure of general adoption. In
strength and toughness it rivals steel; in
non-liability to corIosion 10 is almost ms
good as gold, and in lightness it stands al
together alone. Nor IL this NIL. The hull
of an old iron shi,. when sold to be broken
up, goes for nearly nothing. The hull of
an old aluminium ship would, 1t Ia esti-
mated. il disposed of AZ worn ont metal,
fetch nearly two-thirds of its original
