Aluminium Bronze.

Aluminium bronze, which is likely to
come more and more into use, is an
alloy composed in Germany of 80 to IS
per cent of aluminium and 5 to 10 per
cent of copper, of golden color, which
keeps we'll in the air without soon be-
coming dull and changing the color.
1t can be cast excellently, can be filed
we'll and turned, possesses an extraor-
binary hardness and firmness, attains
high degree of polish and is mall
leable and forgeable. The technical
working of the material is not essen
TALLY different from that of iron-in
fact, the metal is. especially in warm
condition, worked like iron on an anvil
with hammer and chisel, only that the
temperature to be maintained in forg-
ing lies between dark and light cherry
red. In case the articles are not forged
in one piece, and the putting together
of separate parts is a necessity, rivet-
ing, and, in particular soldering have
to be resorted to, with hard or soft
solder. Besides forging, the bronze is
well suited for enclosing After fin
ishing the pieces, the metal can be
toned in different ways, as may be de-
sired, by treatment with acid.

he points out that the hours of the

acerbation in illness.

REVIVAL or STEAMBOAT TRAFFIC

and very realistic scenes are depicted

the ancient Greeks upon this remark
able plant, whose habitat was located
In Cyrene. Its applications seem to
have been as diverse as they were
valuable, and among it's numerous
4ses we find it treasured as furnishing
the earliest and most delicate of vege-
tables, also spice, whilst it's therapeutic
reputation was almost as universal as
that claimed for some of the modern
nostrums by their inventors. Sill
phium has long since disappeared from
Cyrene,; but Falconer has found in the
northern parts of Cashmere a plant
which is regarded as being very close
ly allied to it's historic predecessor
Nature.

lures and machinery at Jeffersonville,
Ind. The strong feature of the line will
be that a steamer will leave st. Louis
every day and there will be no dfsap-
pointments. Where it now takes seven
days to make the run from st. Louis
to New Orleans, the new steamers will
cover the distance in two and one-half
days, and make the round trip in less
than. week. The trip to st. Paul,
which now consumes four days, will
be made in thirty-eight hours"
The financiering of the new line is a
novel feature OF. the enterprise. There
will be no stock company. The boats
will be built entirely by subscription,
the money being pledged by merchants
and shippers along the river. Mr..
Liemke says:
"They have been asked for no cash,
but I have given each subscriber a
ticket stating the amount of his pledge.
When the money is needed 1 will col
lect it and when the line is started 1
will give the subscribers discounts on
their freight bills for the amount Of
their subscriptions. Though the new
boats will not be completed for some
months I will have boats for temper
airy use and will open the line in the
spring."
Mr. Liemke firmly believes that with
faster and better boats and punctual
service, with the freight and passenger
business separated, the levees of the
great river will once more resound to
the rumbling of dray wheels, the crack
of the transfers whips, the blasts of
the steamboat whistles, the cries of the
overseer and the song of the darby
roustabouts.

They have supinely permitted the rail-
roads to take their business away from
them. There are thousands today who
would travel and ship their freight by
river if they were assured of accommo-
dations even nearly approaching those
furnished by the railroads. The steam
ers 1 mean to operate will be unlike
any that have ever run on the Missis-
sippi. In point of speed they will be
far in advance of the river steamer Of
today. At present a boat which makes
twelve miles an hour upstream is con-
sidered a very fast craft and there are
few such on the river. The new boats
will travel at the rate of from fifteen to
eighteen miles an hour upstream and
from twenty-five to twenty-four miles
an hour downstream. Each boat will
be steel hulled, with a length of 300
feet and so feet beam. Their draught
will be 80 inches light and Sc inches
loaded. This will enable them to run
even when the water is at its lowest
stage. Their holds will be furnished
with alright compartments, like those
OF ocean steamers. rendering, them
practically unsuitable. It is estimated
that the cost Of each passenger steam
er will be 100000. and / have ten
times that amount pledged by mer-
chants in every river town from st. Paul
to New Orleans, including many promi-
nent st. Louisans.
The saving of time will not be en-
tire1y due to the speed Of the boats.
Forty naphtha tenders will be operated
in, connection with the line, to obviate
the necessity Of making landings to
take on passengers and freight. These
tenders will patrol the river, collecting
freight, express matter and passengers.
and will meet the steamer in mid
stream. There will be short stop
when passengers are taken on. Freight
and express matter can be taken on
while the boats are running at full
speed, the result being q great saving

The Mississippi 10 TEEN with Fleet of
Pdldtidl Vessels Next Season.

It may sound like dream, but an
other year may witness a revival of the
good old days, when the great Missis-
sippi teemed with life and when feet
and palatial steamers piled its broad
waters In regular and profitable trips
between all the important points from
st. Paul to New Orleans. To do this
and to regain, for traffic on the father
of waters it's long-lost splendor a mag
nificent fleet of passenger and freight
steamers is to be built for service be-
.ween the two points named. In ele-
gance of equipment the passenger
steamers will rival the famous old
Robert E. Lee or the Natchez, and will
completely Guido them in speed, writes
"a Quincy, ILL.,, correspondent. 1t
may be that with the recovery of this
traffic in its commercial aspect, there
may come an occasional revival of
racing" and the present generation
may have an opportunity to see the
"nigger squat on the safety valve"
H. H. Liemke of St. Louis, an old
river man, who, in years of experience
on the Mississippi, has learned steam
boating from cabin-boy up, is at the
head of the enterprise, and also the in
ventor of the new style of steelboats
which are to travel the river from it's
source to it's mouth. He has labcred
on this project for several years, until
today he has people all along the river
interested in his plans. Mr. Liemkes
plans are more feasible than any that
have ever been advanced and he has
received sufficient encouragement from
shippers all along the river to insure
the construction of fleet of steamers,
such as are shown in the illustrations
Mr.. Liemke makes the statement that
the steamers will be so equipped that
they will be formidable competitors of
the railroads, which now parallel the
river on both banks. In discussing his
project recently Mr.. Liemke said:
II have already placed with Harland
& Hoilingsworth of Wilmington, Del,
the order for the first of fleet of seven
boats and will shortly go east to make
arrangements for the building of the
other six. l believe that river men
have themselves been mainly respon-
sible for the decline of the river trade.

When Men Die Fastest,

There are a great number of curious
superstitions as to the time Of day
when dying person is most likely to
draw his last breath, and the tide, the
moon and the wind have all been sup
posed to have some share in the mat
ter. According to the British Medical
Journal, Raseri, who has analysed 25,-
474 cases of death and 36,515 of birth,
where the exact time of day was not
ed, finds that the maximum number of
deaths occur in the early afternoon Ito
