New Source of Cheap Aluminium.
[St Louis Globe Democrat,]


Information has come to the two inn
portant scientific bureaus in Washington
the geological survey and the Smith
sonian institutional absolutely mex
haustible deposits of bauxite ores in
Alabama and Georgia, which give prom
Use of solving the chief difficulty hereto
fore encountered in the cheap production
of aluminium for commercial purposes.
Specimen Jumps of these ores recently
analysed at the Smithsonian institution,
show per cent of pure aluminium in the
light tints and 40 per cent in the brown
shades, whereas ordinary clay contains,
on an average, only SO per cent. Hence
the value of this bauxite in the popular
manufacture of aluminium on this ac-
count, aside from other favorable quail
| ties, is obvious at a glance.
Heretofore such bauxite as has been
mined (geologically called ferruginous
hydrate of alumina) has been utilized
principally in the manufacture of refrac-
tory bricks and furnace Innings. The
making ol aluminium mas peen largely a
scientific and experimental pastime.
But the discovery of these rich sunnlies
in cooro;o .nd A1.hovo. has o,naod,,

given renewed impetus to its produc-
ton for practical uses. Several carloads
of bauxite are now being shipped every
week-quietly, to be sure-from pits near
Randall, Calhoun county, Ala, to firm
iu Kensington, suburb of Pittsburg,
Pa, where, it is understood, the white
metal is electrically extracted from the
ore and then manufactured by contract
into equipage and accouterments for
the imperial German army, in the shape
Of belts, buckles, helmets, cartridge
shells, etc., for which the metal is adj
mirably suited on account of it strength
and extraordinary lightness. In addi-
ton a prominent iron corporation of
Easton and Catasauoua, Pa, are prepar-
ing to establish an immense plant on the
| grounds and go into the manufacture of
aluminium on large scale. Otherwise
no organized movement has vet been
made for the thorough development of
the deposits, and no disposition has been
manifested to promote the industry by
| adventurous means. On the contrary as

SPECIAL AND STATED MEETINGS,

The Argus says that the mayor stulti-
led himself by declaring that there was
10 difference between special and stated
meetings. He did nothing of the sort.
What he did say was, that doubtless,
stated in the rule meant according to the
general acceptance of the term, the regu-
lar monthly meeting, but that action at a
special and stated meeting was the same
as to validity. That he did not mean
what the Argus declares he meant is
plain from his words which the Argus
quotes in another column to the effect
that She did not mean to bubble on the
words stated"
The rule referred to is as follows:
"When vote is passed it shall be in order
for any member TO move reconsideration there
of at the same the 71eTt stated meeting, but
not afterwards. except on papers returned from
the Mayor. and where motion of reconsdera-
ton il decided that vote shall not be reconsd-
cred"
The reconsideration of a question, it is
obvious, should take place at the earli-
est opportunity. However in parliament
tary rules it is customary to limit the
time for reconsideration. Sometimes a
reconsideration is not permitted at ''the
same making in which the vote is
passed, but in this case, the rule permits
a wider range, declaring it to be in order
to move reconsideration at the same OF
even the next stated meeting, but not
afterwards. 1t does not declare that be-
tween these two points it may not be in
order to reconsider question. Had it
so meant it would have so stated, and the
mayors opinion that vote may be re-
considered at any meeting before the one
limiting reconsideration is both reason
able and correct.

FRUIT AND THE CHOLERA.
With Cleanliness and Ripeness AS
sured Fruit is Not Dangerous.
From the New York Herald.

"Many people are grossly mistaken in
their notions about eating fruit in its re
lation to cholera" remarked my friend
the doctor, as he helped himself to an
other peach "They have an idea" he
continued, chat fruit taken into the
stomach renders the system more sus-
ceptible to cholera and thus invites an at
tack of the disease. Nothing could be
wider of the mark 1t is not against fruit
itself but against its condition that ply
sicians object during hot weather and in
cholera seasons. Fruit that is ripe, clean
and sound may be eaten safely at all
times, while that which is unripe, I'M
clean or decayed is always dangerous, no
matter whether there is cholera in the
neighborhood or not.
The custom so generally observed Of
cutting off the family supply of fruit
merely because cholera threatens an in
vasion of our ports is foolish and repre-
hensible in the extreme. Fruit is an i'm
portant article of our natural and best
summer diet, and to abolish it from the
table during the hot weather, substitute
ing for it lot of other food products of
heavier, coarser and less tempting charac-
ter, is both foolish and cruel My advice
is don't give up the fruit. Make sure
that it is ripe and clean and then you may
eat it freely without risk. The juices OF
our native fruits instead OF Delng ueOlu-
tatiug to the stomach are among the best
tonics for it. They are cleansing, cooling
and anti-scorbutic in their action. They
may never have cured a case of cholera,
but when taken after proper care in the
matter of cleanliness they never led to an
attack of that or any other disease
The great evil to guard against in fruit,
as in everything else we eat, is uncleanh-
ness. Don't buy fruit from street corner
dealers whose stock lies all day exposed
to the foul air of the curbs and cutters,
where it is handled and picked over by
every person who stops to buy an orange
or a peach. Buy of your grocer, even If
his prices are little higher, and trust to
his integrity and business tact TO give you
fruit that is ripe, cool, clean and fresh.
Above al things beware of the peddlers,
who with carts and trays haunt the side
streets and the rear of areas Offering fruit
which is, as a rule, unsound or of second
quality. and not unlikely to have passed
through many hands, some OF them toul
and unclean. II is through such dealers
that disease is spread, and when it hap
mems that way, the senseless cry goes up
that everybody must stop eating fruit. it
is much as if we should all be told to stop
eating meat merely because our neighDors
were served with a tainted steak or bit
of immature veal by his butcher"

TIE TURPENTINE SITUATION.
Operators win Abide by the Decision
of the Protective Association.

OpGSANOIb w III AoAAe ny the DECISION
of the Protective Association.
Editor Morning News: At meeting
Of the Turpentine Operators Protective
Association, held in Savannah on Aug. l6,
it was unanimously agreed by the opera
tors and factors, that during the current
season, all boxes other than virgin should
not be worked. These constitute about
20 per cent. OF the entire industry; about
5000 crops of boxes, or about 10000, 600
boxes. This would turn about 1O,O 900 men
out Of employment after the scraping sea-
son is over, and reduce the amount of
spirits turpentine for this season by from
40 600 to $4,000 barrels, and rOsin about
10000 barrels. Thus we hope to escape
an over production for the year 1898
The question is asked by many: viii
the operators do thisl l answer: They
will. Why} For the reason that every
operator in this association has sworn to
do so. Besides, the factors have prom
ised to sustain no one who does not abide
by the agreement. Some persons think
that inasmuch as all operators don't be-
long to the association the agreement will
not be carried out. We acknowledge that
all operators are not members of the as
ISOLATION, but all will be governed by it.
II is composed or the majority OF opera
tors, and of all of those that are largely
in the business, leaving but few scattered
about, and they are wholly in sympathy
with the association.
The operators best off financially have
hard work to make both ends meet and
the majority have run at loss, not max
ing expenses; therefore they are COM
PEELED to stop. At the next meeting in
October in Savannah we hope
to be able to reduce the remain
der of the entire business so
per cent. in the hope that better prices
may prevail. If there are hard worked
men on earth they are the turpentine
operators, They have worked so
long for nothing that they have
become heart sore and tired of being
in debt now they propose to quit working
for nothing and boarding themselves.
The amount of crude turpentine in the
woods is small Owing to the tightness
of money and high prices of provisions
the operators have been compelled to
keep all their stuff dipped out, manu-
featured and on the market, so as to be
able to meet their pay rolls and bills. What
stuff goes in now is from gum that was
left over and from "scrape.n Many oper-
ators are now beginning to scrape" their
trees and wind up this seasons business.
The crop Of tErpentine and rosin is very
near all in 1t will not take much more
money to complete the movement.

MR.. cooPER's MAIDEN SPEECH
1t Has Made a Very Favorable I'M
preston.
From the New York Times.


Mr.. Cooper Of Florida is clearly an ad-
dition to the House In his maiden speech
the other day he showed great brightness
and quickness, as well as solid good judy
ment. Mr. Livingston of Georgia thought
to corner him by asking why, if the Sher-
man notes have created a burden upon
the treasury, they were at a premium in
New York and at par in Londonl Mr..
Cooper replied that money was at pre-
MUM in New York because of the panic.
The stringency locks it up, and it is
locked up because of the lack of
confidence in financial operations
under the Sherman act" and tn
treasury note lis at par in London be
cause you can draw gold for it in Ameri-
ca" Discussing the value of silver, he
said: Gust before was leaving Flori-
da an old friend of mine, who had lived
for years on the Pacific slope, came to me
and said j do not know how YOU stand
on silver; | have got one advantage over
you with reference to it. have dug silver
and 1 have dug potatoes, and they are
each worth what they will sell for. !"
That is really the gist of the whole ques-
tion as to the unlimited coinage of silver
Referring to the q interests
of his own constituents in
the question of free coinage he said: of
/ am to vote for bill TO give an artificial
value to things; if | am to vote for this
measure, / want an amendment added by
which it shall be enacted that my people
shall receive a dollar for every 70 cents
worth of their cotton and tobacco and or
anges and pineapples and vegetables and
logs and lumber and turpentine." This
is argument that every one can under
stand and no one can refute.
