THE YOUNGEST METAL.
Aluminium Was First Produced Near
Pittsburgh in 1889.

Aluminium, the youngest of all
metals, is rapidly coming into general
use. 1t was discovered by Frederick
Wohler, German professor, in 1927.
but to ST. Clair Deville, Frenchman.
belongs the honor of being the founder
of the aluminium industry.
The first article made of this metal
was in compliment to Louis Napoleon.
who had helped Deville-a baby rattle
for the infant prince imperial.
In 1855, when the first aluminium COM
pany was formed, the cost of pound
of the metal was about 5000. In 1885
Charles NJ. Hall, of Oberlin, o., patented
an electrolytic process. He, with few
of his friends, then started a small
plant on the bank of the Allegheny riv-
err, Is miles above Pittsburgh. The
first year the company produced &c
pounds of aluminium day, which was
sold for $3.50 pound. In 1895 a COM
pany built large plant at Niagara
Falls. and this year it is building add
ditional works. When these are com.
pleted they will have an output of H.
900 pounds daily. This will put the
United States in front as the largest
aluminum-producing country in the
world.

metals. and can be drawn into wire l.
25Oth of an inch in thickness. 1t is an
excellent conductor of electricity, and
would, at 20 cents a pound, take the
place of copper for all electrical pur-
poses.
In shipbuilding, where ightness is
demanded, aluminium meets every re-
quirement. Corrosion and galvanie
action are easily overcome by properly
painting the part subject to the actor
of the water end by using aluminium
rivets. France and Germany have sew.

gathered around defects. A leg would
be missing here, a hole would be in the
shoulder there or the tail would be
gone. Toward the last the hides be-
San growing smaller, and Hollow Horn
Antelope explained that he was giving
his sole attention to the theft of calf
skins and demanded larger pay accord
ingly, for calfskins were of course
worth more for uppers than cowsl-ins
were for sole leather.
One day Hill said to Yellow Bird:
yellow, we must have bought at least
40 hides from Hollow Horn Antelope.
have paid him over $3.50. Let us get them
together next Tuesday and take them
in to the station and market them.
don't like to have so many stolen hides
on hand. If any suspicion were to arise
1 should hate to have to prove so many
Indian claimants to be liars" Vel
low Bird said that was sensible and
that he would get things into shape.
In the meantime he wished to say some
thing which had long been on his mind.
While he loved the store and it's associa-
tons, still it was certain that man must
be true to himself and his own good, and
Cody had offered him, through Mai.
Burke, a position in the service of the
leave Wednesday to join the party.
Hill was very sorry. for Yellow Bird
was n most accomplished accessory to
theft from ragged Indian coffee coolers.
The next day Yellow Bird did not ap-
pear to open the store, and at noon Hill
heard that he had already gone to join
Cody's show at Des Moines, having
been called away more quickly than he
expected. This threw Hill on his own
resources in the matter of the hides.
and on Tuesday he went himself to
pack up the 40-odd skins he had
bought of Hollow Horn Antelope. He
opened the warehouse door and found
lying in a dark corner one package.
With terror in his heart he drew it out
into the sunlight and opened IT. 1t
proved to be the most remarkable hide
he had ever seen. 1t was sewn together
and cut crosswise and stitched. The
tail and the left fore leg had been re
peatedly cut off and fastened on again
by means of careful needlework. There
were holes here and there, all being
defrIy patched so as not to be readily
seen. Finally there were three rows OF
plain cuttings clear around the hide
all neatly sewed together again.
The things which Hill said about the
ancestry and habits of Hollow Horn
Antelope and his cousin Yellow Bird
were very grave if they were true
What he chiefly objected to was the cut
ting down of the old bull hide so many
times to make it into different-sized
caifsixins.-Chicago Record

Now for the Chicago Convention
of Delegates From the South
ern States.
CHARLESTON, S. c.,
March 20th, 1896.

LEAR DIR: a convention CON-
posed of delegates from the South
ern States AID cities was held in
chicago in February to consider
the advisability of holding ali Ex-
position of Southern resources and
products in that city this year, and
TO devise ways and means for COW
erlng the cost of such an expos;-
ton. The convention resolved with
out a dissenting voice that the ex-
position should be held. The city
of Chicago pledged itself to under
take the whole expense of organ
izing and maintaining the exposi-
ton.
The several Southern States un-
dertook, op their part, to provide
the exhibits, and to pay the ex-
pense of collecting, arranging and
organizing their exhibits.
When the delegates from South
Carolina met in Chicago, it was
deemed advisable that it the Leg
islature failed to make an appro-
priation to place before the world
the products and resources of our
various cotton and other industries
ct the exposition in Chicago. a
trial should be made to raise the
necessary funds from other sources.
The Legislature you are aware, did
nothing for the end in view. aud it
now becomes my duty, by the au-
thority of the Governor Of the
State, 10 invite you tc attend a
convention to be held at Spartan
burg, tn Wednesday evening, April
18th, '96, for the purpose Of pro-
viding plan by which an exhitit
of the industries of the State shall
oe made at Chicago. 1t is hardly
necessary for me to place before
you the imperative reasons why we
Of this State should make the best
exhibit.
The great development of our
cotton factories, the natural advan-
tages we have of climate, water
power, and cotton raised around
the Mills must ii.vite the attention
| of capital, thereby making our
State not only foremost in agricul-
ture, but also in cotton fabricsin-
dustries.
In no other way cfn our farmers
be more judiciously helped than by
giving them a market, we might
say, near to each and every farm,
thereby linking together agricul-
ture, manufactures, and commerce.
/ request, therefore, thai the
Mayors and Intendants of the cit
les and towns IN the State attend
the convention at Spartanburg,
and appoint three delegates from
each of the cities and towns to
represent their several municipali-
ties i'll this convention, for the
purpose of insuring an exhibit by
South Carolina at Chicago.
[ request that each of the cotton
manufacturing enterprises in the
State appoint representatives to
attend the convention in Spartan
burg.
also request that each of the
railroad companies doing business
in the State will appoint a repre-
sentative to attend The convention.
l shall be obliged if you will in
form me at your earliest conve-
nience the names of the delegates
you have appointed in response to
this address.
Very respectfully yours,
E. L. ROCHE,
Commissioner from So. Ca.
