vised version of the Scriptures has beer
failure so far as sale is concerned. But
this, observes the Westminster Gazette
is not quite accurate. For the Revised
New Testament. the sale of which on its
first appearance was phenomenal, there
is now practically no demand, and the
Oxford University Press is Offering pri-
vately for charitable distribution its sur
plus stock at very low rates. For in
stance, if 500 copies are taken, the six
penny edition can be had for penny,
the shilling edition for twopence and
the 1S penny edition for threepence each
copy. But this only applies TO the New
Testament. The sale of the revised ver-
sion of the Bible, containing the Old and
New Testament, is now large and has

What Aluminium Is.

There are many misconceptions about
aluminium that are widespread and
which it seems difficult to correct in
the public mind. Aluminium is not,
section for section, very strong metal.
1t is only one-half as strong as wrought
iron. 1t has very low elastic limit 1t
is not rigid, but bends under trans
verse strain readily. 1t is in its alloys
that its utility commences to appear.
With s to 12 per cent of copper or alu-
minimum bronze we have one of the most
dense, finest grained and strongest met
