hardly be classed as novelties any longer"
said a dealer of goods made of that metal.
The novelty now consists in the applica-
ton. Aluminium, ten years ago was only
produced after an expensive and tedious
scientific process. 1t was worth as much, if
not more, than silver, and the product was
so small that it had no commercial stand
ing, and was only made up into paper
weights OF fancy little trifes. TODAY aIu-
minimum is a thoroughly established article
Its cost in the bar or ingot is only one

til it is as cheap as timed iron, which it
will ultimately supplant for a hundred uses.
Every jewelry and novelty store to-day car

were formerly made of silver plate, but
which are now made of Aluminium The
prices are much lower than those which
they supplant. Manufacturers buy the
The metal comes from Pittsburg, one con-
Germ near that city turning out about 80
per cent of the output in the United States.
1.-THE process by which cheap aluminium
is produced at its present price is a jeal-
ously guarded secret. Experimental plants
are in operation all over the country, and
the secret must sooner or later become
common property. Then the aluminium day
will dawn. House furnishing stores are al

furnishing metal, and cuspidors made of it
are quite popular. IL Is also being used
quite extensively for bathtub Innings and
for outdoor signs in place of zinc or brass.
Wire and tubing of all dimensions are on
the market.
A gentleman representing the principal
aluminium reduction works of the country
stated that the present year will witness a
further reduction in the cost of the product
OF at least so per cent. The building of ships
of heavy burden of aluminium is among the
probabilities. In the clay banks of the
country the practical scientist sees the
house building lumber of the future.
In 1880 aluminium cost SIT a pound; in 1886
it had declined to IS. Then the electrolytic
method of reducing the ore was invented
and in 1889 the ruling price was 81. Then it
began to replace brass, German silver and
nickel The price had fallen in 1891 to $50
a pound. and with this year dates the intro
