ALUMINIUM TO BE CHEAP.-The Pa
tent Office authorities sent to Daluth,
a chemical expert on an application for
a patent for new process of obtaining
aluminium from its oxide. The process
includes chemical combinations hereto
fore supposed to be impossible, and on
this ground the application for a patent
was rejected, the method being termed
imperative. Three entirely satisfac-
tory tests were made by the govern
ment chemist, and he has returned to
Washington. a copy of his report to
the Patent Office has been received at
Duluth. After detailing the tests as
made by himself he says that the pro-
cess is operative, that it appears to be
almost perfect in its results in obtain
ing the entire aluminium value of the
oxide. The dscoverer of this process
on Il his Duluth associates say they can
produce pure aluminium at a price con-
siderablv below that of any of the
electrical processes, and cheaper, bulk
for bulk, than copper. Experiments
have been under way there, where the
clay is rich IN aluminium, for much over
a year, looking to the perfection of the
process. 1t was first discovered by a
German chemist with friends in Du-
luth.

Hung From the stccp!c.

Townsiolk of Plainsfeld, n. j., have
terrified themselves during The last four
days looking at Harry Watson, a tin
ner, while he was at work at the top of
the steeple of the Crescent Avenue
Church. Watson is a daring fellow
who makes living doing jobs where he
has to climb to dangerous heights with
out protection. He has climbed facto-
ry chimneys and scaled Cdiiices OF all
sorts until he has become so familiar
lied with the work that he mounts
stack of brickwork with the same ease
that he would drink a glass of beer. Wat
son was busy at work Tuesday after
noon while crowd of curious persons
stood III the street below waiting for
him TO drop. Ho hung suspended from
Il rig composed of chair attached to a
couple OF ropes. Around his waist he
had taken the precaution to secure an
other rope. In removing the paint and
other material from the tin roof Wat
son had used acids that had somehow
got sprinkled on the ropes. The acid
burned through the ropes and without
the slightest warning one of them gave
way. The crowd yelled, and scarcely
had their shouts died away when the
other rope, on which such a sudden
strain had been imposed, also gave
way. The clair tumbled to the street
below. Watson dangled from the rope
that had been passed around his waist.
He swung TO and fro in the air as he
cried to the excited crowd below 10
help him. He had fallen few feet un-
til the slack of the rope had been paid
out, but he preserved his composurc.
He shouted instructions to the crowd,
but it was only when some men climbed
up inside the steeple that his voice
could reach them. As he swayed back
and forth, 100 feet from the ground, the
crowd in the street looked on in expec
tation of seeing him drop every instant,
Finally a ladder was taken TO tie top
window of the steeple and pushed out
and up toward him. He managed to
reach i; with his feet, and while several
pairs of hands steadied it below he
ioosened the rope about him and de-
scended amid the cheers Of the crowd.
