THE TWO BOYS.

4 lady. accompanied by her son, a
lad of about l. years, was riding in
street car up town the other day, says
the New York Times The young
gentleman had on what was evidently
his first suit of "grown-up" clothes.
His shirt, collar, tie and scarfpin were
immaculate, His derby hat was spick
and span. His suit was evidently made
by good tailor and his faultless kid
gloves were of the latest shade. Ea
was well pleased with himself and his
mamma was well pleased with him
At FOrty-Second street newsbOy
came on the cars crying his evening
papers. He was rather more wretched
looking than the average newsboy. His
attire consisted solely Of u very ragged
shirt and an equally ragged pair Of
trousers, which We're held on by a strip
Of dirty cotton cloth which served for
u sllspender. He was hatless and shoe
less. The most remarkable thing about
this newsboy was that his face and
hands were clean. The boy in the good
clothes bought a paper He immediate
" began to read it as the men do while
he absently held out his gloved hand
for the change
While the ncwsboy counted the pen
MES into the palm of the new kia glove
he looked mis- customer over, not con
temptuously, as one might imagine, but
rather wistfully, Then he walked slow
ly out Of the car, looking back over his
shoulder ut the well-dresscd boy.
A change Of horses was being made,
and The ncwsboy stopped outside Of
the window with hi, papers under his
arm and '.~ hands in his pockets. still
looking 81 ;le boy To the DERBY har.
The visit expression depend and
grew. One could read upon his face
what he was thinking and gentleman
who had watched the little :7cident
said with a sigh rs the car started out:
Things don't seem to be very well
evened up in this world and every
body seemed to understand except the
boy, who was still looking mt his paper,
and his mother, no was fondly gazing
mt him.

MANY USES FOR ALUMINIUM.
The Builder Likely to Find 1t Valu-
able for a Variety Of Purposes.


The Builder Likely to Find 1t Valu-
able for a Variety Of Purposes.
Aluminium which in itself possesses
a high degree of specific heat, does not
readily absorb heat itself, and thus is
not liable to the chief objection to
iron buildings in hot countries. But
apart from light decorative purposes,
such as balconies, finals and ycrandas,
it is as a roofing material that alumni
mum should be most welcome TO the
builder. In plates or scales two-thirds
lighter than copper, uncorroded by air,
and undimmed even by the sulphur
of London smoke, it should make
roof fit for a palace Of romance.
The humber elements Of health and
comfort in the house, hardly less inn
portant than the external defenSes
against the weather-pipcs, cisterns,
taps and cutters now made of iron
which rusts or lead which poisons-
would be more enduring and far more
healthy if made of this light aud clearly
metal which might take the place
of all water holding vessels now made
OF heavy brittle earthenware or paint
ed tin. An aluminium bath is among
the probable Injuries of the next cen
fury. But it is not as Il mere aces
sorry to comfort and convenience that
real development of the new metal
should lie 1t is for use at sea that
its most marked quality Of lghtness
obviously fits it.
The marine engineer and the naval
architect VINO are already looking in
this direction for a reduction in the
weight which Is inseparable from loss
of efficiency, whether in speed or cargo,
cannot neglect the possibilities Of
metal which when mixed in the proper
ton Of / to so. gives TO the aluEIinum-
bronze a hardness and toughnesS
which makes it almost as reliable as
steel, and whlcn, if the proportions
could be reversed and the strength pre-
served, would reduce the weights of
ships and machinery alike by two
thirds. That is the problem which
awaits the metalurgists for solution,
The reduction In cost, judging by
analogy, can only be n question OF
time and research.
The best steel now costs little more
than half penny per pound, while
aluminium is % times that price. But
aluminium exists i'm far greater guam
titles than iron, is more widely dis
ributed, and neither the limits Of time
nor the history Of metallurgy forbid
us to conjectur, that as the world
has seen its age of stone, its age OF
bronze, and its age of iron so it may
before long have embarked on a new
and even more prosperous era-the
age Of aIuminum-Loudon Spectator.

STEEL TIES on RAILROADS

Likely to Replace Wooden Sloepers in
Warm Countries
The use Of steel slecpers is now
strongly advocated for tropical cOun-
tries where the use of timber sleepers
is open to many objections. In the
official report on the projected Nom
Lake railway for opening
up communication with the interior o.
Africa, it is recommended, says the
Pitsbm- Dispatch, that general use
be made Of steel sleepers rather than
fir or pingIdo wood for the
following reasons: A permanent way

Another authority states that many

The Influence of the Press.

Probably the time is coming in the
halcyon future when everything that
everybody does will be open and above
board, when there is nothing hidden that
shall not be known, when that which is
spoken in the ear shall be proclaimed
upon the housetops, and we rather think
that the impertinent press is helping to
bring about that day. The fear of pub
hcity deters many man from doing
wrong or delivers him from the tempta-
ton to go astray. Men who seek to take
unfair advantage of their fellow men be-
cause of their poverty or ignorance or
weakness or for any other reason find
an obstacle in the light which the press
throws upon their actions and motions.
Individual newspapers have their idiosyn-
crasies and other faults, but as a whole
the press believes in right living, honest
dealing, truth telling and doing as you
would be done by.-Springfeld Union.

Phenomena of Weeping Trees.

In the forests of Oregon, Washington,
Montana and British Columbia there is a
species of tree that has continuous and
copious dripping of pure, clear water
from the ends of its leaves and branches.
This extraordinary sight may be wit
messed at all seasons when the leaves
are on, and seems equally plentiful on
clear, bright days as on damp, cloudy
nights. The tree is IA species of fir, and
the weeping" phenomenon is attrib-
uted to remarkable power of condensa-
ton peculiar to the leaves and bark of
this species of evergreen.
In the island of Ferro there are many
species of weeping trees" but in this
latter case the tears" appear to be most
abundant when the relative humidity is
near the dew point.
