Cooking Utensils of Aluminium.

COOKING utensils OF AluIIllIlui1'
Aluminium seems to be O jack-of
all-trades metal, with no limit to the
uses to which it may be put. 1t is
adapted for anything from a flying
machine to kitchen skillet, which is
it's latest use. The Illinois Pure Alum
mum company, which has plant at
Lemont, IS about to put aluminium
cooking utensils upon the market and
great things are claimed for them.
The points claimed are: Freedom from
poison, light specific gravity, great
heat conductlvity, heat-retaining
properties, cleanliness, rust an i'm.
possibility, absence of all solder. 1t
is stated that an aluminium utensil is
only one-third the weight of the ordi-
nary utensil, and that the metal is
superior to all metals in heat-retain
ing properties. AS aluminium has an
intrinsic value, WORKOUT or broken
utensils manufactured by the COM
pony will be bought at scrap prices.

HOW THE OCEAN BECAME SALT.
An Enulish Professor Discusses Two
Theories of the Saltifcation'

An English Professor Discusses TWO
ThrOries of the Saltifcation'
Prof Edward Hill read paper be-
fore the Victoria institute in LONDON
recently on How the Waters OF the
Ocean Became Salt" says the Stand
ard, From an inquiry into the CHAR
octer and affinities of the organic Iofins
of past geological ages, the CONCLUSION
was justified that the waters OF ''le
ocean must have been salt from very
early geological times, but IT oy no
means followed that they were as
fully saline as those OF the present
day. There were two ways by WHICH
they might account for the sallhlty u
the ocean waters from very early perl
DDS of geological time. First by sup
posinc that the primeval waters were
saturated with acid gases when were
held in suspension in the vapor SUI
rounding the incandescent globe; or
second, that the s;llinity resulted Iron
process resembling that by winch
salt lakes of the present day have oeen
formed. He thought that they must
concur with DR.. Sterry Hunt that from
some cause or other chlorine largely
abo,lnded in the waters Of the prlmeVal
ocean, as by far the greater proper,
ton of the salts were chlorldes, ana
chlorine was but slightly represented
in river waters at the present Gay.
From the examples Of closed lakes
they could determine the process OF
salinitication with the utmost certainty.
Throughout greater or shorter porous
these lakes had been receiving the Wa
tors of rivers bringing down DOM me
chemically suspended sediments anu
chemically dissolved salts, silicates ana
carbonates. The sediments We're pre-
cipitated over the bottoms OF the HIKES
and the water being carried or INTO Tue
atmosphere in the form OF vapor, as
far us it entered, left behind the as
solved ingredients. These necessarily
augmented in quantity. and ultimately
the waters of lakes became saturated
with salts and carbOnateS. which were
then deposited The ocean was
closed lake of enormous magnitude,
and they We're thus brought to the con-,
CltSlOn tnat the SallllcSS VI liAC oS'
might have originated in very much
the same way rs had that of the Dead
sea, Lake Oroomiah. or the Great Salt
lake of Utah. and many others which
possessed in common the Characters
tic of having no outlet. When the
great envelop of vapor which sur
rounded the incandesccnt globe began
to condense upon it's cooling surface.
the resulting waters, though contain
ing, as DR.. S:cry Hunt supposed, acid
gases, were destitute of saline ingredl-
cnts. The process Of salinitication be-
gan with the first streams which en-
tered the seas from the bordering up
lands. and the process carried on
through the long ages preceding the
siluran period brought the waters to
condition suited to sustain the life or
forms of inhabitants representative of
those which inhabited the ocean ut the
present day. These long ages might be
supposed to include not only the
aIchaean and azoic periods. but that
during which the first crust was in
course Of formation over the incan-
descent globe.

of palpitation on the least exertion.
During the fall of '92 he suffered more
than common and made up his mind that
something must be done. He placed
himself under the care of Drs. Scott and
Smith, only expecting to get relief from
his pain. He had several different physi-
clans and spent large sums of money,
sometimes getting tempory relief and
sometimes getting nothing. The pain
left him in few days, and the deposits
about the joints began to be absorbed,
so he continued the treatment until he
has good use of every joint in the body
the swelling in some having entirely dis
appeared and every joint being greatly
improved. The blood is freed from the
rheumatic poisons and return of the
disease is no more probable than in any
one else. Drs. Scott and Smith success

FREAR,S NEW STORE.

William II. Frear, Troy's famous mer-
chant-prince, is about to put into effect a
long cherished intention. He will erect
at the corner of Third and Fulton streets
a new store which will be worthy of HIM
self, of his immense business and of the
city in which he is so hOnOred resident.
Mr.. Frcar, who has long owned the
American. house property, and who re-
Gently purchased the Crystal property
adjoining, will remove the buildings or
the site and erect in their place new
structure, to accommodate his large and
constantly increasing business transac-
tions. The tenants of the property were
notified to-day that the premises must
be vacated. The lease of the American
house 10y the present tenant will expire
May lst and the building will then be
demolished, SO that operations may be
begun on the new structure.
Mr.. Frear has canvassed in his mind
for years the erection of new building,
and has visited many cities, carefully
studying the large stores of not only
America but also Europe, and noting
with his usual alertness and comprehen-
siveness those points which might be
made available in erecting a structure
which would correspond with his ideas.
Still the plans have not yet been perfect
ed TOR the new building, simply the de-
cision made that it shall be erected. The
style and arrangement of this new bust
ness home will be elaborated by Mr..
Frear, and the people of Troy will have
confidence that the result will be an
architectural credit to this municipality
and to Mr. Frear'S extensive reputation.
Mr.. Frear's present store in Cannon
place has been located there for nearly
twenty-five years, the quarter centennial
coming April 9th. Mr.. Frear originally
engaged in business at 1922 River street in
1865, the first firm being Haverly &
Frear. In 1868 the firm became Flagg,
Haverly d Frear, and the location was
changed to Cannon place. In the follow
ing year Mr.. Haverly retired, and the
firm became Flagg & Frear and this
name continued until 1873, when Mr..
Flagg retired. Since then Mr. Frear has
carried on the business alone.-Troy

Opera House Announcements.

Wife for Wife is one of the leading le-
Ultimate standard attractions the coming
season. 1t has plot as ingenious and
thrilling as any of the works of Sardou
or Dumas, yet with vivid features pecu-
liar to American life. The poisoning
scene and the famous double duel with
pistols and bowie knives will be among
the strongest dramatic situations. The
cast contains two original character crea-
tiOns, and the scenic and mechanical
transf rmatlOns are new, novel and be-
wildering York World.
EsThe management of the New Opera
House announces the engagement of
Pauline Hall and her Opera Company to-
morrow evening in a production of the
famaus comic opera, "Ermlnie" This
opera has made probably the strongest
impression of any opera of the day in the
hearts of the music loving public, for its
melody, catchy airs and mirth provoking
situations. The career of three years at
the Casino, New York, and pronounced
success elsewhere, bespeaks great favor
at the hands OF the public. Miss Hall
will be seen in her original character,
Erminie, and her rendition of the Lula
by Song Is said to be lasting memory
in the minds of freqnenters of the thea
tire.
The incorrigible Cadie and Ravvy, i'm,
personated by Frank David and Jacquc
Ranger, Will 10 doubt reyivfy two of
the strongest roles known in comic
opera. Miss Davenport. Jacque Kauger
and john Brand were in the original pro
duction oil Erminie with Miss Hall.
The opera will be staged with scenery
made from the original models, among
which the ball roon scene is famous for
its peculiar and dainty pink color, max
ing delicious background for the rich
costumes.

Mr.William johnson has suffered from
chronic rheumatism for many yeaas. He
has suffered constantly from pain, first
in one joint and then another. Often it
would attack two or more joints at a
time, until almost every joint has suf-
fered. The pain at first would be very
severe in joint, the joint continuing to
swell. When the joint stopped swelling
the pain would in a measure cease, but
the swelling would not go down and the
pain would remain but in less degree.
These joints never went back to their
original size and were always stiff and
sore, with more or less pain. When he
presented himself for treatment he was
a prepatuTeiy old man, crippled, as he
supposed, for life. His heart had become
involved and he would have severe spells
