SOME USES OF ALUMINIUM.
Comparative Cheapness Makes
Available for MnnN Purnnses

The principal uses of aluminium, says n
writer in Cassiers Magazine, are too many
to be enumerated. The properties of the
metal are so akin to those OF copper and
brass than, broadly speaking, aluminium or
one of it's light alloys should, to a large
extent replace both copper and tin and also
nickel or German silver. Such change
would be followed by various advantages
to all concerned. Not only would there be
considerable reduction in the weight of
the articles, but they would not tarnish or
turn black on exposure to air The cost
should be the same. If not actually lower,
inasmuch as bulk for bulk aluminium is
already cheaper than copper or tin, and its
price will continue to fall as the demand
increases.
One field, however. remains which copper
Is bound to maintain as its own, namely:
the construction OF isolated electrical con-
ductors. Experiments have already been
made on a large scale with bare con-
ductors of aluminium for telephones. with
perfectly satisfactory results, its conductiv-

volume for volume. which is 165 per cent
OF that OF aluminium
Besides the advantages set forth above
aluminium Is not poisonous and is pre-
eminenty adapted for the manufacture OF
cooking utensils. A steady demand for
aluminium is springing UP in various kinds
OF printing processes. as well as in lith-
ography. The metal appears to answer ad-
mirably for the construction OF rollers used
in calico printing and when its surface is
properly prepared. 1t is also capable OF
replacing the ordinary lithographic stone.
1t can easily be imagined that. instead of
having cumbrous and heavy stones, which
can be printed only on special slow running
"litho' machines, 1t is far better and
cheaper to use thin sheets OF metal
which can be bent into circular form and
printed on rotar" presses.
Bicycles, electric light fittings, chains,
brides. stirrups, surgical instruments, keys,
cigar cases, pen and pencil holders, toilet ar
ticles, plates and dishes. spoons, forks,
frames. name plates door furniture. hat
and coat pegs, boot trees, fire engine fit
tings, business ana VISITING cards ana pho-
tographic cameras are a few OF the things
that are being daily made in aluminium by
various firms.
For motor cars there should be large
field for aluminium. A further demand for
the metal will be brought about by it's
