CRANSTON.
Repeal OF an Old Law Affecting Financial
Meetings.

At the earnest solicitation Of many of the
citizens of Cranston. Representative Edward
Stanley introduced in the Legislature bill
repeating an act OF 1887, providing that the
moderator of district No. be mode rator OF
the financial town meeting. The act thus re-
pealed was a special act Tor the town Of
Cranston. and now the election Of tho mod
orator for all town meetings will be governed
by the statutes section ?, chapter 3S, OF which
reads as follows: cat the annual town meet.
ing Of each town there shall he cnosen mod
orator to preside in all the town meetings for
the year, and until his successor Is elected
and qualified"
Since the town has grown into Eve large
and populous districts. many have complained
of the injustice of one district elscting a
moderator to preside alta town meeting IL
is argued that meeting OF all the towns
citizens should be presided over by AN officer
elected by the whole town. The special 40
OF 1887 was passed when tho town was divided
into two districts One at a time, other dis
tricts have been added to the town, hut the
act OF 1887 rsmsined in force until the de-
cisive action of'the State LEGISLATURE yesser-
day, which puts the town of Cranston upon
the same footing as other towns in the matter
of slectine n town moderator.
The repeating Of the act OF 1887 is not stab
at the pregent moderator. but an initial
step to, conduct the financial town meeting
upon business principles.

prsised and is spoken of as his own successor.

German professor, but to Sir Cloire De.
Vile, a 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
company was formed, the cost of
pound of metal was about $500. In 1889
Charles AZ. Han, of Oberin, O., patented
an electrolytic process. He, with
few of his friends, then started a small
plant on the banks of the Allegheny
river, IS miles above Pittsburgh The
first year the company produced rs
pounds of aluminium a Gay, which was
sold for $3.50 pound. In 1895 COM
pany built large plant at Niagara Falls.
and this year it is building additional
works. When these are completed they
will have en- output of 1900 pounds
daily. This will put the United States
in front as The largest aluminium pro-
ducing country in the corld.
Aluminium weight is about third
that of iron, and only stsel of the high
est quality and the best aluminium
bronze will give a greater strength for
a given weight than sluminun. 1t
stands high in the list of metals, and can
be drawn into wire 1-250th of an inch in
thickness. 1t is an excellent conductor
of electricity. ind would at 20 cents

Sleeping on air is the latest innova.
ton IN railway travel. The use OF
compressed air for that purpose viii,
in the estimation of railway men,
eventually revolutionize railway travel
and relegate the familiar and some
what clumsy Wagner and Pullman
sleeping cars 70 the background.
At present the only car completely
fitted with compressed air cushions and
beds is the private car of Vice President
j. y. SHOEMAKER. OF the Pittsburgh
q Lake Erie railroad. These have been
found. however, to be not only prsctic-
able, but 10 possess so many advantages
over the accommodations of ordinary
sleeping and parior cars that a number
OF roads are having similarly fitted ones
constructed. and before long they will
be in general use on many OF the great
trunk lines of the country.
Co. Schoonmaker's car was built
after the plans of l.. +. Ruth. the in
ventor of the latest system of car fur
nishing. In appearance it does not diff
fer externally from the ordinary car
chair. This is explained by the fac;
that instead Of the usual upholstering

The mouth is decidedly a feature
where the study becomes most interest
ing. The dropping of the corners Will
often give sneering expression. or, oa
in the cases where the movement Of
the under lip On one side of the mouth
when the person is speaking is in di.
rect contrast with the movements of the
lips on the other side. This popularity
indicates an unsteady, unreliable ma

force. The cheek on ono side Of the

rounded than on the other, and the diff
ference in the position and general
contour of the ears is often startling.
Residing in New York city is a prom
inent society matron, whose eyes arc
of distinctly perceptible different col
ors, one being dark blue, the other
dark grayish brown. When first
noticed the effect is uncanny in the ex-
treme.
The differences of facial features are
often too slight to be noticeable, and do
not mar the harmony OF the face; 10
other instances they are strikingly pro-
nounced.
The eyes Of spiritualktic mediums
are often uncanny in tits respect, sug-
costing the evil eye, with all its super
stitious associations. A medium whose
life is wholly given up to the exercise
Of her peculiar gift betrays many puz-
cling facial eccentricities.
Scientists claim that the two hemi-
spheres Of the brain operate differently,
the right controlling the physical life;
the left the mental qualities. The
physical qualities Of the left hemi.
sphere OF the brain affect the right side
OF the face more quickly than the
workings on the left, consequently
facial contrasts are more noticeable in
the old than in the yonug.
That these differences Go exist is I'm.
questionable, and the student of phys.
iognomy will find in them an unex.
plored and interesting field for study.
