A NIuch-Eeeded Alloy.

Many attempts have been made to
secure an alloy of aluminium and
platinum that would be OF commercial
value, and the measures taken to that
end have at length proved successful.
The alloy is of n handsome yellow
color and is described Us suitable for
protecting steel knives, razor and the
like from rnsting. In appearances it is
not unlili, gold alleged with five per
cent of silver, and it contains only a
very small percentage of platinum. 1t
is, therefore, not an expensive metal,
and will doubtless be extensively used
as a substitute for gold plating for
cheap metal mugs and dessert services.
1t is applied extraordinarily. The
bath consists of q solution of sodium
illuminate, to which is added platinum
cyanide dissolved in potassium cy-
anide solution. The article to be
plated is immersed in this bath and at
tached in the ordinary way to the
cathode, or negative terminal of the
battery, while a block of carbon or
sheet of platinum serves as the anode,
or positive terminal.

A ROUNDABOUT CALL.
waking Sleepy Operator By Cable
Dispatch.

Waking . Sleepy Operator BY . Cable
Dispatch.
There is q good story about q tele-
graph operator who once worked the
land wires in the Duxbury (Mass.)
cable Office, going to sleep one night
and a message having to be sent six or
seven thousand miles to wake him up.
The operator is now a practicine ply
stefan in Cambridge. Mass, but before
anncxing M. d. to his name was one of
the gilt edge telegraphers of the coun-
try.
One night while on duty in the Dux-
bury Office he fell asleep at his key.
The sleep was a sound one. The New
York operator called till out OF
patience, when he sent a message to
Boston requesting the chief operator
in charge to tell Duxbury to answ r
New York. The sleeper, however, WA,
as deaf to Bostop's "Di," "Di," as to
the impatient characters flashed on
from New York.
In the cable-room next the sleeping
operator was the cable artist. The
room was dark and he was watching
the mirror for the tiny sparks that in
those days went to make up mes
SdBc. IL I'LL Cllc nlOTSc dlpnaDGC was
ali Greek, so the sic CIR slept on.
SecI.g no other way out of the mud
die and thinking the operator asleep,
New York called Canso in Nova
Scotia, and addressed message to
the cable operator at Duxbury. The
message read:
$50 into the other room and wake
up that operator"
Canso sent It to Hearts Content in
Newfoundland; Hearts Content rushed
it across to London, thence to Dover,
and across the channel to Calais and to
Brest. Brest sept it moving on to
Miquelon, and Miquelon gave the cable
operator at DuXbury a unique surprise.
The sleeper. was then aroused, about
eleven minutes having been taken by
the grand round of the cablcgram. He
tried to explain matters by telling
New York that he was out of adjust
ment. The story didn't impress the
officials as beinc truthful, and in day
or two there WAS vacancy in Duxbury.

THE SCHOONER GARCIA LOST
On the Rocks at Nstarts. south OF Cape
Meares, oregon

Portland. Dec. 12.-An oregonian special
from Tilamook. Ore. says: News reached
here yesterday that a sailing vessel went
to pieces on the rocks at NetaTts. about
a mile south OF Cape Meares lighthouse.
on Sunday night. The particulars oh
tanned are very meager. though pieces OF
the wrecked vessel are strewn along the
beach for several miles. piece Of the
stern was marked Garcia. San Fran
cisco" The hfeboats came ashore. but
were crushed TO pieces. The masts and
keel. also q sailors hat. were found on
the beach No bodies have come ashore
yet and nothing that would show what
her cargo was. Sunday night was very
stormy. and the breakers we're rolling
high.
No one saw the boat or knew Just when
she was wrecked and no signal lights or
guns were noticed by the Inhabitants near
the beach, but from the large amount OF
w'reckage Ii IS certain that boat went 70
pieces there Sunday night. II is thought
from appearances that the vessel struck
on one of the Sea Lion rocks about a nile
from shore.
San Francisco, Dec. I2-The schoory.r
Garcia. left here last Sunday In ballast 20
load lumber az Coos bay. she was OF Iis
tons burden, ana was commanded By Cap
tain Larsen. She carried a crew of four
or FIVE men, whose names are unknown.
Tshs. Garcia vas owned BY Captain Peter
son, of this city, and there Is little doubt
that the wreckage found of Ts!lamook be-
Ionged 10 her.
