THE FUTURE OF ALUMINIUM.
1t May supcrscdc Iron as the Universal
Metal.

1t May Supcrscdc Iron as the Universal
Metal.
Aluminium. which itself possesses q
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, cupolas, finals and verandas,
it is as roofing material that aluminium
should be most welcome to the builder.
In plates or scales, two-thirds lighter
than copper, uncorrodcd by air and un-
dimmcd even by the sulphur of Lon
don smoke, IL should make roof fit
for palace of romance.
The humber elements of health and
comfort in the house hardly less inn
portant than it's external defenses
against the weather-pipes cisterns,
taps, and cutters, now made of iron
which rusts or lead which poisons--
would be more enduring and far moro
healthy if made of this light and cloan"
ly metal, which might also take the
place of all water holding vessels now
made of heavy brittle earthen ware or
painted tin. An aluminium bath is
| among the probable luxuries of the
| next century. But it is not as mere
| accessory 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 lightness OBJ
viously fits it.
| The marine engineer and the naval
architect, who are already looking in
! this direction for a reduction in the
weight which is inseparable from loss
of efficiency, whether in speed or cargo,
can not neglect the possibilities of a
metal which, when mixed in the pro-
/, portion of one to fifty, gives to alumni
ium bronze hardness and toughness
| which make it almost as reliable as
Steel and which, if the proportions
could be reversed and the strength pre-
served, would reduce the weights OF
ships and machinery alike by two
thirds. This is problem which awaits
the metallurgists for solution. The
reduction in cost, Judging by analogy
can only be question of time and re
search.
The best steel now costs little more
than 15c per pound, while aluminium
is fifty times that price. But aluminium
. exists in far greater quantities thai
iron, is more widely distributed, am
neither the limits of time nor the histor,
of metallurgy forbid us to conjecture
that as the world has seen its age o
, stone, it's age of bronze, and its age o
, iron, so it may before long have EN-
, barlsed on new and even more pros
, porous era, the age of aluminium. :

Make an Acre Double Its Crop.

Instead of cultivating too much land

"A Turks Plano,

The late Leopold de Meyer, of Dres.
den, a brilliant and popular pianist in
mis- day, was once summoned to play
before the sultan at Constantinople.
Going thither, he borrowed CRANE
piano from one of the Austrian secrc.
taries of legation, and had it set up in
large reception room at the palace.
There he awaited the coming of the
sultan; but when that Intelligent
monarch entered the room he started
back in ALARM and demanded of his at
tendants what that monster was stand
ing there on three legs. Explanations
followed, but were in vain. The legs
had to be taken off, and the body of
the instrument laid fiat on the floor;
and Leopold de Meyer, squatting cross
legged on q mat, went through his pro-
gramme as best he could in that awk-
ward attitude and without pedals.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man

BRITISH SQUADRON
Receives a Royal Welcome in

TARANTO, Oct. 1G.-The British Med
lterranean squadron arrived here at
noon, and was escorted by the Italian
war ship Italia. The visiting war ships
we're saluted by the forts, and replied to
these salutations in kind. Salutes were

in line and passed through the canal
connecting the Gulf OF the Mare Pic

were crowded with people, who heartily
cheered the British war vessels as they
passed.
The British officers landed from their
Warships this afternoon ana proceeded
to the Principia Isabella club. where a
fecep ton was held in honor of the visit
ing sailors. An immense concOurse of
people lined the route leading from the
waters edge to the club. On all sides
unbOunded enthusiasm was shown, and
shouts of Viva Inglaterra,' etc, were
heard.
The city and harbor were Illuminated
this evening in the most elaborate man:

playing on all sides, and the national
anthem of Great Britain sounded high
aud above all the other music at

Secretary Carlisle Urges Senator
Voorhees, TO Remain Firm.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. The word
sent along the line of the silver forces
at 6 O'Clock tonight was to tilibuster and
to require an absolute quorum at all
times. The silver men had been con-
ferring during the afternoon. Word had
been given out that Senator Voorhees,
would request the senate to sit into the
night, and the information, whether cor
rect or not, was added that he would
take this course upon the direct request
of the president. made through Secre
tary Carlisle. The purpose of filibuster-
ing was to show the futility of attempt
ing further to force unusual hours.
A visit was made to Secretary Car
Isle by Senator voorhees, this morning.
The two gentlemen exchanged views
upon the situation, and Mr.. Carlisle
urged Mr.. Voorhees, to hold firm and
keep his forces in line. He expressed
the opinion that by so doing it would be
possible to secure the passage of the
bill unamended, and suggested the ad
visibility of continuing the night seS
sions. 1t was Immediately after this
visit that Mr.. Voorhees, repaired to the
capitol and announced his Intention of
asking the senate to sit until 10 O'Clock
at night. Appearances would just
ify the statement that the admin
istration had taken another occasion to
announce and emphasize its opposition
to any deviation from the course orig
inally mapped out.and its determination
to have all the resources exhausted be-
fore accepting compromise. The atti-
tude or the repeal forces in the senate,
as seen early this morning, was enough
to convince the silver men that some
thing had happened. The advocates of
repeal had not at the beginning of the
session shown more determined 'front.'
The efforts at compromise were
kept up in a desultory way, and
Senator Cockrell. who had taken the
lead as a compromiser, continued his
work in that direction. he did not,
however, make material progress. Both
the radical Democratic and Re publican
repeal senators asserted positively that
the compromise proposition would
never secure vote sufficient to insure
its adoption. The Republican repealers
were especially confident i'll this asser-
ton. They have held no formal confer
