USE OF ALUMINIUM.
The Value of the Metal and the Varied Pur-
poses to Which 1t Is Put.

Ane alue OF Ine NeIil anu Ine NdTIeu GuEa
poses to Which 1t Is Put.
There has been so much said and writ
ten about aluminium recently that one
would think tie subject well nigh ex-
hausted, yet perhaps, from manufacture
ing standpoint, 40 metal just now deserves
more notice than it, especially when we
take into account the fact that it ranks
first among metals in quantity and extent
of distribution, one-twelfth Of the earth's
crust being composed thereof 1t is tena-
Cious, malleable, ductile and does not read
lily oxidize. 1t is certainly worthy of at
tention when we take into consideration
the diverse as well as the Numerically op'
posite ways into which it can be manu-
factured. Like iron, it can be made into
many useful cooking utensils, such as
coffeepots, saucepans, dishpans and a
number of others of a similar nature,
Things of this character made from alu-
minimum have many advantages, some Of
which are that the metal is entirely free
from poison. The food cooks quickly
without burning and the utensils are very
light, aluminium being nearly three times
lighter than iron and 80 times lighter
than copper. There are few things that
attack it, but which are not met with in
cooking. Caustio alkalies consume alu-
minium rapidly, muriatic acid slowly and
nitric acid only at a high temperature.
The hardware merchant not only keeps
the above ware, but can sell you hinges,
bells, keys, locks, bolts and many things
in the electrical line.
Then, again, like gold and silver, it is
worked into many things that are orna-
mental, for at any jewelers. can be seen
napkin rings, watch chains, matchsafes,
stickpins, hairpins, toothpicks, lockets
with stones set in them and hundred
and one other trinkets too numerous to
mention. The optioian uses it in many
ways, especially in the making of opera
glasses and even the painter has a pow
der which, when mixed, gives a silverlike
luster
Owing to it's lightness, the dentist uses
it to take the place of gold in making the
plates for artificial teeth and in the cap
ping of teeth. One of the finest alloys is
aluminium bronze which has the color Of
gold and is capable of taking high pol
ish 1t has the tenacity of steel, and from
it very fine castings can be made, and it
is composed Of 80 per cent copper and 10
per cent aluminium. Many military ac-
cuuterments are made from it, owing to
lightness and strength. So it can be read
lily seen that while at the present time
aluminium is used by such businesses as
are not closely connected, yet as its pro-
duction is gradually being diminished in
the way of cost so its benefits are being
Just so gradually recognized by others
who but a short time before could see no
good in aluminium from a commercial
basis.-Hardware

Deputy NIarshals on Guard In Anticipa-

Deputy Marshals on Guard In Anttcipa
tion of Court Decision.
CHICAGO June IA local paper says:
Every distillery in the United States con-
trolled by the Whisky trust has been
turned into an arsenal For nearly
month past United States deputy marsbais
have had their quarters in the distileries.
They are all heavily armed and prepared
to resist any attack that may be made, or
any attempt to take possession. 1t is not
incendiarie5 or dynamiters that the re-
Ceivers foar. A decision is daily expected
from the supreme court of the state which
may have the effect of preoipitatng hostil-
tiles. These may take civil form and
add a new phase of litigation to the legal
troubles of the trust. On the other hand
they may be of more forceful character
in the nature of pitched battle.
The anxiously expected decision is in the
case of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
company versus the people, ex rel the
attorney general. This is the case where
Attorney General Malloney filed a writ OF
quo warranto declaring the company to
be an illegal corporation, in effect trust,
and existing contrary to the antitrust laws
of the state He was sustained in the cir
cult court The decision was appealed to
the supreme court, and decision, it is Ok
peOted, will be handed down within few
days The effect of decision sustaining
the action of the attorney general and the
decision of the lower court would, 1T Is
claimed be much more farreaching than
to simply cause a disintegration of the
trust. If the contention Of some of the
antitrust attorneys be correct, it will have
the effect Of restoring to the original own
ers Of the distilleries all right and title to
the various plants on the ground that all
sales to the trust were illegal, and that
any and all contracts made with the trust
were in violation of the antitrust statutes
and therefore void.
While so far as can be learned there has
been no concerted movement on the part
of the original owners to take foroible pos
session of the properties in case the de-
cison is favorable to the attorney general
there have been enough individual moves
in this direction to alarm the receivers

WRECK OF THE ooLIMA.


the Conduct OF the Captain.
SAN FRANCISCO. June THE Call in
Its account OF the wreck Of the Colima as
told by the survivors Of the wrecked YES
sell says;
The ship was overloaded badly loaded,
topheavy loadod-all agree to It, When
the gale struck her, she weathored it, but
badly. Then she onreened. There was a
lurch to starboard and she did not right
again. Men called out to the captain to
cut away the deck loading Of heavy spars
The captain was ohdurate He knew his
business. or fnncied that he did, and would
brook no suggestion from what he called
the terrified ard panic stricken passengers
And they probably were all that he called
them for they could see death staring
them in the face, while the captain re-
mained blind. The ship listed more and
more With apprehension everybody wait
ed, held their breath till she should bear
up and right again but she did not right.
She listed still more. Then she lost her
steering powers The captain rang for
more ste2m-and would not cut loose the
deckload that might have saved her.
Steam could not save her. The engines
were taxed TO their utmost still the vessel
listed. The panic on board grew worse,
the fear of death more intense. Then the
captain gave orders for the crew to keep
the passengers within bounds Whether
these orders went so far as to withhold
life preseryers from the passengers and
permit those who sought to do so to come
on deck, where they might have a chance
of battling with the waves, is not known
at this time. Perhaps some further inves-
tigation will shed some light on this point.
At all events the effect Of these orders
was to turn the crew into subalterns ty-
rants, who acted as though they sought to
prevent any one from escaping the doom
that remained before them. Storage and
cabin passengers say they sought to obtain
life preseryers and were forcibly restrained
from doing so. Down in the storage q
guard was posted at the oompanionway
door, and those who escaped to the deck il
time to cast themselves into the sea before
the vessel went down did so only by mair
force by kicking and fighting the guard,
Those who were saved are some of thes
who were wiser than the captain, whit
could sec their peril more clearly and haC
wit enough to throw themselves into tht
foaming sea before the Colima gave hel
last list to the starboard. AS she did thii
the captain S whistle sounded to cut loose
the deck load of spars.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Consul Stephan
at Annaberg, Germany, writes that it is
reported that the manufacture of dolls has
been introduced in the prison at Inter
maasfeld and is being worked by J. G.
Reiohenbaoh of Grimmenthal. The consul
says a great many are sent to this ooun-
try. The prison made dolls, the consul
thinks, could be imported so oheaply that
an attempt will be made to send them here
Mr.. Stephan suggests that methods be
taken to prevent such importations
