ALUMINUM ALLOY.
Composition Where Lightncss an
Strength Are Desired

Composition Where Lightncss and
Strength Are Desired.
[From the American Machinist
At the last monthly meeting of engineers in
New York some specimens of new alloy Of
aluminium and nickel were exhibited which
were remarkable. They were sent in by A. l..
Hunt, of Pittsbnrg, and both were in the
form Of rolled sheets l{-inch thick. In one
of these hole 4S-inch in diameter had been
drilled out to about inches in diameter
cold. and the other. which was
strip about 8 inches wide, "a
inches long, had been bent at the middle,
the detection amounting TO about two inches.
1t was stated that the force required to do
this bending had been about the same Us is
required to similarly bend similar piece
of 90,0O0-pound steel, and when the speci-
men was placed upon the floor and stood
upon until Strengthened il Immediately re-
sumed its former shape upon being re-
leased: in other words. it seemed 10 be per-
fectly elastic within the limits named. The
alloy is of a beautiful white color and of re-
markably light weight. No information was
given as to the proportions OF aluminium and
nickel in the alloy, but it probably contains
only Il small percentage of the latter. and so
far as could be judged it bids fair to be an
important alloy in eases where lightness and
strength are especially desired.

TEN THOUSAND TONS A DAY.
The Enormous Quantity of Paper That Ir
Turned Ont hN American Mills.

The Enormous Quantity of Paper That Ir
Turned Out by American Mills.
1t is a curious and rather startling fact that,
next to the articles entering into food and
clothing, paper is the most universally used
commodity in the world. says the Philadel-
phia Times. The daily output of news-prins
paper in the United States is about 200 to
1.500 tons. Just think OF 125 or 150 carloads
of newspaper mentally devoured each day in
this country, The production of news print
is larger than any other g-ale That OF book
paper is probably rs much us 1000 TONS and
of writing 450 tons each ,iay.
The gross daily capacity of the paper mills
of the United States in operation during
ls92-93 for NIL kinds and grades OF paper was
estimated at about 10, 600 tons. OF this amount
nearly $500 tons represented news print aud
book paper, 1.So0 tons wrapping paper. $50
tens strawboard. $50 tons writing paper, and
almost 2.4o0 tons OF the various other kinds
and grades
The states which rank fist in the pro5us-
ton OF paper are New York. Maine. Massa-
chusetts. Wisconsin. PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and
Illinois. From these seven states come nearly
three-fourths OF the entire paper supply OF the
country. By far the greater par. of the vast
output is consumed in the United States. the
greatest paper using country in the world.
In foreign markets. however. American paper
is gaining firm footing. The greatest con-
sumption OF printing paper is in the Snn,iay
editions of the metropolitan dai!ies. which
often require from GO 10 100 tons for u 5 ngle
issue.
with the rapidly increasing outpu. prices
have as rapidly declined until to-drr grade
of news-print paper worth twcnty-iv,. years
ago 13 cents or IA cents per pound is new sold
at 21l cents to cents-a decline in price un-
equa!ed in the history OF any other inlus.ry.
This enormous decrease in the cost OF paper
is due especially to the Introduction OF wood
as paper stock. To-day it is the principal
ma,erai used in this manufacture OF pager ior
all but the highest grades of book and wr,iin.:.
Another means coudIeive TO this phen0ms-
nal reduction OF COS. has been the improve
meat in methods OF making woci pCi.. Tie
perfection and greater eiiclenev aftaiae,i in
paper-making machinery. r., 'Arlns mucn
larger production easily possible in 4 given
time. have aided materially in this c.<=xard
trend OF price.

THAT BIG ENGLISH WHEEL.

II Is Going to Be Larger and More Capa'
cious Than the Ferris.
English writers just now are gloating over
the fact that the great wheel which is now be-
ing built at Earle's Court, according to the
plans of Lieut.. ]. W. Grsydon, is to be con-
siderably larger than the Ferris wheel. which
was shown at the Worlds Fair In Chicago.
The British wheel will be 500 feet In diameter,
whereas the Ferris wheel measured only 200
feet across. 1t will be able to hold 1.60O
persons. and the Ferris wheel could accommo-
date only 1868 at IA time.
The big wheel at Earl's Court is also differ
ent from the Ferris wheel in respect to the
towers which support the axle on each side Of
the wheel. They will be over one hundred
and seventy feet high. and four stories will
contain saloons and will be connected with
outside elevators as well as gtaircases. The
steel axle. which is seven feet in diameter, will
have a passage through it.
OF course. it is expected that the masses In
London will avail themselves OF this oppor-
tunity to enjoy a new recreation. The car
riages and cars will be SO arranged that each
one will hold forty persons and may be
entered at eight different places. Each turn
of the wheel will take about twenty minutes,
and there will be five stops. The wheel will
be probably in operation some time in July.
