FOR CANADA'S RULER.
Lord Aberdeen to Be Inaugurated
with Great Pomp.
The Flower of Dominion OGicialdom Striv-
Ing to Prepare Fitting Welcome
to the Governor General
and His Wife.

The new governor general of Can
ada, the earl of Aberdeen, accompanied
by the countess, is expected to arrive
ut Ottawa shortly and all Canada is
deeply interested in giving them fit
ting reception. They will land at
Quebec or Halifax and, according to
the programme already decided upon,
will be met at the pier by committee
of the Canadian parliament, headed by
the speaker of the senate, and formal
ly welcomed and escorted to the capi-
tai city. The latter place will witness
the installation, which this year is to
be accompanied by military turnout,
although one of no large proportions,
and by gathering of Canada's most
distinguished political and social lead
erS.
The newly-l1nighted chief justice,
Sir Samuel Henry Strong, will admin
lister the oath in the throne-room.
Then the governor general. will deliver
an address from the queen, after which
the senators, preceded by the usher of
the black rod, will file through the
wide portico of the parliament build
ings, ascend the scarlet-carpeted stairs,
and, the gentleman usher having made
three profound obeisances, the speak
er of the senate will read an address of
welcome
The house of commons, which makes
and unmalSes cabinets in Canada, pro-
poses to honor the governor general in
democratic fashion. Speaker White
and n committee will meet Lord Aber-
deem at the railway station and, es-
corted by detachment of troops I'M
der Lieut.. Col. Mcpherson, there will
be something like a triumphant pro-
cession to Parliament hill. The Can
adian populace, totally unacquainted
with the vastness of such an affair as
the Inauguration of president of the
United States, are taking rather more
interest than usual in the new ruler.
Various civic bodies, the board of
trade, the chamber of commerce and
several incorporated bodies have sent
delegations to witness the installation
ceremonies.
The social side of the earl's recep-
tion is likewise proceeding apace.
Rideau hall, or the government house,
as Canada's executive mansion is
doubly styled, will for days to come be

and furnishers. The lawns and ter

hold lineage of sixteen generations
of nobility had to be proven; but this

to four generations. The page had to
enter at the age Of nine, and to spend
three years in special school, on
leaving which he drew salary, had a
uniform and duties to discharge about
the kings person and at grand func.
tions. At the age of seventeen he en-.

WIN Cheaper aluminium.

Information has come, says an ex-
change, to two important scientific bu-
reaus in Washington-the geological
survey and the Smithsonian institu-
tion-of absolutely inexhaustible de-
posts of bauxite ores in Alabama and
Georgia which give promise of solving
the chief difficulty heretofore encoun-
tered in the cheap production of alu-
minum for commercial purposes. Speci-
men Jumps of these ores recently
analysed at the Smithsonian institution
show 4S per cent. of pure aluminium in
the light tints and 40 per cent. in the
brown shades, whereas ordinary clay
on an average contains only 33 per cent.
Bauxite derives its name from the fact
that it was discovered first near Baux,
or Beaus, near Aries, France. Besides
France it is found to limited extent
in Austria and elsewhere in Europe
and in workable quantities in ArlSan-
sas and other states and territories of
the union.
