In n contribution TO the Century

the Frenchman Flammarlon Is IN the

compllshed some wonderful things,
and his opinions are deserving OF at
tentlon when he speaks on subjects

only seventy years since this wonder
ful metal was first discovered and that
the aluminium industry Is scarcely for

rived at by Tesla which viii be well

interested In copper mining. Is that
the advance OF the aluminium Industry
will result In the humiliation OF tho
copper industry-that they cannot ex-
ist and prosper together Even now It

and other uses copper has no chance
