ALUMINUM MAY REPLACE BRASS

Reduction In Price ef the Former
s Metal May Bring the Change.
A reduction in the price Of aluminium
within the last few weeks has led to a
discussion by the technical jour- a Is
of the possibility Of Its replacing brass
in some Of the industries. The various
discounts on sheets sold in quantities
make the actual price about 32H cents
% pound. At the present time sheet
brass costs from 12N to IS cents a
pound. But the latter metal, II cast,
Is 3.25 times as heavy a. aluminium
and II wrought $40. In any given arti.
Gle. the size remaining the same, there
would be more than three times an
many pounds Cor ounces or grains),
il 1t were made of brass than il 1t were
composed Of aluminium. Multiplying
the price OF brass per pound by 3.19, one
gets a fraction over 36 cents. The ma
teriaI going into brass object, then,
costs about ten per cent. more than
tnat going into an aluminium object
Of the same size. This fact is likely
to make q good many wide-awake manu-.
facturers ask themselves how far alu-
minum Is suited in other respects to
take the place of brass. Its tensile
strength. electrical conductivity, re-
sistance TO the corrosive effect Of mois.
ture and acids are all important qunli-
ties which are likely TO come up for
consideration in this connection

TREE 10000 YEARS OLD.
Giaat Of Prehistoric Time. Un-
eafthed In EnRInna.

Giaat of Prehistoric Time. Un-
earthed In England.
An extraordinary discovery, and one
which is just now exciting considerable
interest in antiquarian circles in Lam
cashire and Cheshire, has been made at
Stockport. During the excavations in.
the construction of sewage work for
the town some workmen came across
what has since proved to be n massive
oak tree, with two immense branches.
Prof. Boyd Dawkins. the well-known
untiquary, Is of opinion That the tree
is one OF the giants of prehistoric
times. and he says that the tree is GER
tainiy 10000 years old. The corpora
tion OF Stockport are at loss what to
do with the gigantic fossil. which is
supposed to weigh about 40 tons, and
as it is necessary that 1t should be re-
moved proposal has been made to
blow it up with dynamite. This has
aroused the Indignation Of large sec
tiou Of the public. who presented the
following petition to the corporation:
THAT there is valuable tree of old
oak at present lying upon and exposed
in the gravel on and within their prop
erty; that the quality in color, grain
and solility is better thun any that can
be bought in the open market; that for
artistic work alone II la greatly to be
treasured, for nothing in this country
Is at present grown which can come up
to its dimensions; that It contains
within itself sufficient material to make
the furniture for any public building
or town hall which may be erected for
the public benefit within our borough;
that II only requires lifting from its
bed, which in the opinion Of competent
geologists may br roughly estimated
,ls $4,000 years Of Occupation; that pri-
vate effort has failed to achieve its re-
InovaI; that it's destruction would be a
public loss and nm artistic calamity.
that your representatives in council
be and are hereby requested TO con-
serve for the borough this grant of ma
ture to her sons and daughters. whose
signatures are hereby affixed.'
The corporation have reserved their
decision, and In the meantime efforts
are being made by local antiquarians
and others to bring pressure to hear
upon the council to preserve the tree
for the benefit of the town and the
country. II is believed that no discov-
cry of such Importance has hitherto
been made in this country. and this be-
Ing so 1t is hoped that those interested
in such matters throughout the coun-
try will lend assistance toward pre-
serving the tree.-London News.

Lillian, to the surprise of the others.
