ALUMINIUM PRINTING.
Successful Application OF the Use OF tn
New Metal

New Metal.
1t has been found that on account of
its porosity and its peculiar quality OF
absorbing and retaining transferred
impressions. which it possesses in as
marked a degree as the photographic
stone, that it Is especially adapted for
the same KID of work.
Its advantage over the stone, how.
ever. and that which renders it so
much more desirable, is its great light
ness; for while a printing sheet of
aluminium having n surface of thirty
by forty inches, and the fortieth of an
inch in thickness, weighs only three
pounds, stone of the same dimen-
sions weighs at least four hundred
pounds.
As the metal is now selling in rolled
sheets at dollar pound, and a stone
of good quality and of the weight
stated is worth one hundred dollars,
the difference in price of the two is
ninety-seven dollars In consequence
of the increasing demands of the lith-
ographie trade, the supply of the best
quality OF stone is rapidly becoming
exhausted, while aluminium, which Is
obtained from clay. and which IS on
that account the most abundant metal
on the earth, Is practically inexhaus-
tible
As an illustration of the contrast
presented by the two materials it may
he stated that one ton of aluini-
mum sheets viii do the work now per
formed by the two hundred tons of
stone stored in one of the largest litho-
graph establishments in New York
city. 1t may be further stated that
while the capital invested in this large
supply of lithographie stone is about
six hundred thousand dollars, the
price of the one ton of aluminium
sheets which would be required for
the same work would be about two
thousand dollars. exclusive of the cost
Of preparing the metal and the neees-
sary printing blocks which would not
exceed two thousand more.
Regarding the quality of the work,
the specimens of printing done on the
aluminium sheets is such that they can
be employed in the finer kind of bond

color work. There is one particular
in which the metal IS decidedly SUI
perior TO the stone, in its fexibility,
which renders it especially available
for cylinder printing. by which two

tanned in the printing process.
Experiments Of the costly nature
have been conducted during the past
two years, looking to the perfection of
the application of the metal to the

L. L. Bullock and Mr.. John Mullaly,
both of New York city. They have

Gently. 1t was the 2nnual migration
Of crows toward the south. This
usually occurs in early winter, but this
year, for some unknown reason, did
not occur until the lst Of March. The
crows passed southwark by the mil
lion. and for two days the air was
black with them, and .he noise OF their
cawing was almost deafening. When
they got to the falls the lit in large
numbers on the ice bridge and set up
a wild cawing. The sound echoed
against the walls of the gorge and
made tremendous noise. When they
were rested they arose with a loud
whirring of wings and continued their
flight Many few into the falls and

''She had aged years in the short

the tragedy. Here, for twenty years

his slayers as I never could have imag-

Whether it was in answer TO her
prayers am not prepared to say, but
certain it is that Charlie Ford never
knew an instant of peace from the day
that Jesse was shot Unlike Bob, he
did not even pretend 10 conceal his
real feelings under an air of bravado.
Both boys were in mortal terror every
minute until Frank surrendered that
he would cross their path unexpectedly
some day and that their lives would
pay the forfeit Bob hid this fear by
assuming clustering boldness, which
at times he was far from feeling. His
was the stronger character of the two.
Charlie, on the contrary, passed his
nights in restless sleeplessness and his

MORE POWERFUL THAN STEAM.
Marvellous Force Obtained from Musical
Vibration

Vibration
/, for one, believe, says a Boston
Transcript correspondent. that we are
on the eve of a great era of applicable
force. and that the wasteful methods
of steam and electricity will be rele-
gated to a desuetude such as has over
taken the stage coach.
The grounds Of my belief are based
not wholly on hearsay, but chiefly on
a curious experience. a few days ago
young man living in the vicinity of
Boston took me to his room and
showed me an apparatus which he had
himself constructed with amazing in
genuity and skill The fundamental
primum mobile of this simple machine
was musical vibration. have no right
to describe the apparatus, but the force
produced in an incredibly brief interval
of time by means of fiddle bow was so
enormous that there seemed 20 be no
wav of measuring it, and the chief diff
fculty in the way of practical applica-
tion lay in the regulation of this
force, which, if directed full upon a
human being, the inventor believed,
would instantly vaporize his body. A
single drop of water confined in hol-
low stoll tube was resolved by a small
fraction of this possible energy into a
motor capable of running an engine, if
properly applied.
1t is well known to all scientific men
that a cubic foot of atmospheric air
contains latent III one might use the
term). or in suspension, force enough
to kill regiment. Musical vibration
seems to set free a portion of this en-
ergy, and its resources are infinite. If
once they can be regulated it win be
the simplest and most inexpensive way
of doing all manual work, for it Will
require no heat.
The young man who thought ont this
wonderful series of apparatus is self
made, not having had great advan-
tages of education; but for pure genius,
| think. whether as a practical in
ventor or as 4 theoretical experiment
or, he viii take high rank among the
great of the world.
