USES OF ALUMINIUM.
Nicola Tesla Believes 1t VIII supersede
All other Metals.

Nicola Tesla Believes It VIII supersede
All Other Metals.
In a contribution to the Century
Magazine, Nicola Tesla writes inter
estingly on the present and future uses
of aluminium. Tesla is something Of a
brilliant theorist in his line, much as
the Frenchman Flammarion is in the
line Of astronomy. Yet Tesla has ac-
comDlished some wonderful things.
n his opinions are deserving of at
tentiOn when he speaks on subjects
connected with electricity. Tesla be-
lieves that Just as we have had an
age OF stone, an age Of brass. an age
of iron and an age of steel-not to
speak Of a golden age-the coming
century will usher in an age of alumni
mum. When we consider that It is
only seventy years since this wonder
full metal was first discovered and that
the aluminium industry is scarcely for
ty years old, it must certainly be ad-
mitted that wonderful progress has al
ready been made. One conclusion ar
rived at by Tesla which will be well
coined by electric companies, and will
be quite otherwise regarded by those
interested in copper mining, is that
the advance of the aluminium industry
will result in the humiliation of the
copper industry-that they cannot ex-
list and prosper together. Even now it
is cheaper to convey an electric cur
rent through aluminium wires than
through copper wires. Aluminium cast
ings cost less, and in many domestic
and other uses copper has no chance
to successfully compete. A further
material reduction of the price of
aluminium cannot but be fatal to cop
per. Tesla believes that the big cop
per companies, foreseeing this result,
will endeavor to absorb the aluminium
industry. With a metal that is so
widely distributed over the world this.
however, would be no easy job. Tesla
goes farther than this and claims
that before many years aluminium will
run iron very close. The possibilities
Of this metal are indeed wonderful.
There is said to be thirty times as
much aluminium as iron in bulk avail
able for the use of man. Among
other things aluminium may revolu-
naval construction and will
aerial travel a possibility.

The empress dowager of Russia has
always declined to accept the guar
dianship of Russian detectives during
her visits home. On her present visit,
however, this custom has been altered
at the command of the reigning car,
and, much against the desire OF the
empress, she is now followed by eight
Russian detectives Of the International
service. Four OF these detectives have
taken station at Fredensborg and four
at Copenhagen.

The ice habit is making rapid prog

Halstead, United States consul at Biz
mingham, due largely to the incessant
clamor for ice In hotels and public
places by the thousands Of travelling
Americans Not very long ago the
attendants Of public places in England
where nearly everything except ice
was provided, would be insulted il
one complained because ice could not
be had. Today all first class places
have a few small Jumps swimming in

with sugar tongs; and in country inns
and even in second class public houses
they apologize for not having it.
