says a contemporary: "One of the
FIRST uses to which the current GEN
Grated at the large Niagara Falls cleo
TIC plant has been put is the manufac-
ture OF aluminium from bauxite by
.eiectrolysis. What the value of such a
source of electric current may be to
factories in the neighborhood of Nj
sgara, to say nothing of those at dis
tance, is suggested by the fact that,
although the present aluminium works
are constructed to produce 5000 pounds
OF pure aluminium a day, the complete
success of the electrolytic process has
convinced the management that the
doubling of the resources Of the factory
by its means is comparatively sim.
Pie matter. More pots are to be put in
as rapidly as possible, until 10000
pounds of the pure metal, worth in
small quantities SOC a pound, is being
turned out daily.
