Uses of Aluminium.

The uses of aluminium, says La Nature,
Paris, March 24th, are becoming more
and more varied. Visiting cards and
railway tickets are now made of it, and
there have even been attempts to utilize
it for bank bills and other commercial
paper, as sheets of it one-tenth of milli-
meter thick are lighter than many of the
thicker varieties of paper. But one of
the most interesting applications OF the
metal is that due to George 4. Marks of
New York-the manufacture of artificial
limbs. Surgeons have hitherto hesitated
to perform partial amputations of small
parts, owing to the impossioility of re-
placing such parts artificially, but this
fear is no longer operative. The metal is
employed in the form of very thin
sheets having the exact form of the men,
Der and serving to support the weight of
the body. This is filled with India
rubber, which serves by it's elasticity to
lessen shocks.

phone If Sacramento knew what Oak land
had sent her early in the evening. The
statement was also made that the steam
boat was chartered TO go only to New
Hope Landing, and that the men were TO
walk to Sacramento where they expected
to arrive by Sunday noon.
This, however, is understood to be a
very weak attempt on the part of the
Oakland people to have it appear they did
not send the gang TO prey upon this COM
munity.
There is no likelihood that these men
VIII walk thirty-five miles when they
can come by boat. Hence they may rea-
sonably be looked for this morning.

SUPREME COURT RESIGNATION.
Justice Van r. Paterson of the Su,

Justice Van r. Paterson of the Su-
preme Bench Resigns.
Mayor B. U. Steinman returned from
San Francisco last evening. He bore a
letter from Justice Van r. Paterson of
the Supreme bench, addressed to Gov
ernor Markham, which Mayor Steinman
is requested by Justice Paterson to de-
liver in person to the Governor as soon
as he can meet him. The letter is one of
but few words-a simple form of resigna-
ton from the Supreme bench, to take
effect May Sd. Justice Paterson's term
would not have expired until January
1899.
Justice Paterson has been seven and a
half years upon the Supreme bench,
and was for six years Superior Judge OF
San Joaquin County. He has formed
law partnership with Arthur Rogers of
San Francisco, which is the reason for his
resignation, as he is assured his practice
will give him better returns than his
salary and entail upon him less labor.
Justice Paterson is a man of high
character and personal and social quail
ties that win him many friends. He is
recognized as one of the best legal minds
California has ever placed upon the bench
of its chief tribunal. He is clear thinker
and calm reasoner, man of patience,
far-seeing and profound learning. He
has a host of friends in this city and
throughout the valley.
