USES OF ALUMINIUM.
Its Lower Cost Now Makes 1t Avail.
able for Many Purposes.

The principal uses of aluminium are
too many to be enumerated. The prop
critics of the metal are so akin to those
OF copper and brass that, broadly
speaking, aluminium or one of its light
alloys should, to a large extent, re-
place both copper and tin and also
nickel or German silver. Such a
change would be followed by many adj
vantages to all concerned. Not only
would there be considerable reduc-
ton III 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, in
aSmuch as, bulk for bulk, aluminium is
already cheaper than copper or tin,
and it's price will continue to fall as
the demand increases.
One field however, remains, which
copper is bound to maintain as it's
own, namely the construction of insu-
lated electrical conductors. Expert
ments have already been made on a
large scale with bare conductors of al
minimum for telephones with perfectly
satisfactory results, it's conductivity,
weight for weight, being double that
OF copper. But when the mains have
unapproachable on account of its
greater conductivity, volume for vol
ume, which is 165 per cent. of that of
aluminium.
Besides the advantages set forth
above, aluminium is not poisonous, and
is eminently adapted to the manufac-
ture of cooking utensils. A steady
demand for aluminium is springing up
in various kinds of printing processes.
as well as in TYPOGRAPHY. The metal
appears to answer admirably for the
construction of rollers used in calico
printing, and when it's surface is prop
erly prepared it is also capable of re-
placing the ordinary photographic
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 a metal which can be bent
into circular form and printed on ro-
tary presses.
Bicycles, electric light fittings,
chains, brides, stirrups, surgical in
strumentS, keys, cigar cases, pen and
pencil holders, toilet articles, plates
and dishes, spoons, forks, frames,
name plates, door furniture, hat and
coat pegs, boot trees, fire engine fit
tings, business and visiting cards and
Photographic cameras are 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 introduction into the
military services. All parts of the SOL
dier's equipments have practically
been made in aluminium, such as mess
tins, water bottles, buttons, helmets,
parts of rifles, cartridge cases, fittings
for guns, tents, horseshoes, portable
bridges, &C., and it is well known that
continental armies, notably the Ger
man army, are employing aluminium
on large scale.-Cassier's Magazine.

1t Will Thaw Out the kIondike.

One of the greatest difficulties with
which the miners in the Klondike have
had to contend with is the fact that
the ground freezes SO hard in winter
that it is impossible to make an i'm
preston on it with pick and shovel.
A Chicago inventor, who is also an old
Yukon miner, has just perfected a de-
vice which is expected to solve this
problem. 1t consists of portable
steam boiler, made in sections for con-
venience in transportation. The jacket
is in four pieces, so arranged that it
can be easily bolted together. The
steam pipes are in lengths and are fit
ted with socket joints. The working
part of the thawer is a three-inch hose,
fitted with an enormous nozzle. When
a steam pressure of 100 pounds is
reached this nozzle is placed in pros
pect hole and the frozen ground thaw-
ed out an inch or two at time. In
this way it is thought the rich gravel
in many a frozen placer can be
reached.

A Tiuer's Bite,

have more than once heard of a
man defending himself from the on
slaught of lion or tiger by thrusting
his rifle barrel down it's throat as the
last resort. Poor Major Sandbach of
the artillery came to his death in
Somaliland a few years ago in attempt
ing to thus hold off ioness which.
nevertheless, managed to inflict on his
hand and arm bites which proved
fatal. A curious story of the same
kind comes from the Khandwa dis
trict of northern India. Mr.. Bayley,
also an artillery officer, was charged
by wounded tiger which he was fol-
lowing up. He missed it with his first
barrel and the second failed to go off.
The tiger sprang and Mr.. Bayley
jumped to one side, thrusting out his
rifle to keep the brute off. The tiger,
it is stated seized the barrels and
made his teeth meet through them,
and, being unable to withdraw them,
was shot by Captain Harrison, Mr..
Bayley's companion. In his death
struggle he dragged the rife from the
owners hands, and the jar caused by
the stock striking the ground broke off
two teeth which were imbedded in the
steel. This story is said to be abSo-
lutely true, but, with the profoundest
respect for the strength of a tigers
jaws and teeth, l venture to think it
wants explanation.-Lond Sketch.

Timekeeper Cut the Round
Short and Saved the Kid
From Defeat.
FORTUNE AGAIN FAVORS HIM
Blow Knocking Out His Oppo-
nent Delivered After the
Gong Sounded.
An Agreement Is Signed to
Meet for Another Bout
Next Month.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-"Kid" Mccoy
got the decision over Joe Choynski in a
bout which lasted three rounds at the
Broadway Athletic club. Choynski
would have had the fight in the second
round were it not for an accident in the
timekeeping. He had foored the Kid
four times, but the timekeeper pulled
the bell as Mccoy was being counted
for the limit of 10 seconds and this
saved the Kid from absolute defeat.
Choynskis seconds protested vigor-
ously, but Referee Johnny White,
while knowing the round was short by
many seconds, stood by the official time
and ordered the men to resume fighting
when time was called for the third.
Choynski outpointed and outmaneu-
vered all of McCoy's clever ring move
ments. Mccoy having escaped defeat
in the second
Was Again Lucky in the Third,
as the blow with which he sent Choyn-
ski down and out was delivered almost
two seconds after the bell had rung for
the completion of the third round.
There was a great deal of noise in the
hall at the time the gong sounded and
it is believed neither man heard the
clang of the gong.
Colonel Mike Padden, timekeeper for
Mccoy, said after the fight that the
second round was clipped by 40 Sec
onds; that Mccoy was groggy and
practically out when the bell rang.
Choynski, while feeling rather sore,
said he had no fault to find with the
referee and in conversation with the
latter exonerated White from all blame.
"Ihad him licked good and sure" said
Choynski, land had the timekeeper
acted right l had him counted out"
After the fight Mccoy and Choynski
signed articles of agreement for an
other bout to take place at the Broad
way Athletic club on Feb. 20 next.

THE DIFFERENCE IN BUSINESS
AND POLITICS.

The difference existing in views as
between the requirements in business
and politics is we'll set forth in the fol-
lowing:
The Window Reporter takes up the
suggestion OF the nomination of prac-
tlcal railroad man on the board of rail-
way commissioners and suggests Hugh
Spencer, of the Omaha, as a proper
man for the place A good man, no
doubt, but why not pick Jim Hill?. Jim
is practical railroad man, too. But
we very much doubt the propriety of
selecting any man high in railroad
circles The railroads will get all of
the concessions they are entitled to and
with railroad man on the board it
would be still harder for business
man or farmer to get what belongs to
him-St. Peter Herald
1t would doubtless be poor politics
for any party to nominate practical
railroad man for position on the rail
road commission, because of the oppor-
tunity it would afford smooth dema.
gogues to avoid and cover up the real
issues of the campaign by attacks upon
this candidate. That m erely shows the
difference between politics and bust.
ness. When business house employs
man for responsible position, he is
expected to know something about the
business. In the eyes of the political
demagogue it is crime fora candidate
to have any practical knowledge which
will fit him for the position he is seek.

JAPAN NOT ALARMED.
Apparently Willing and Anxious to Try
Con cl usions with Russia.

Con usions with Russia.
VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 12.-According
to Oriental advices there is abundant
evidence in the Japanese press of the
probability that Japan is drifting into
a war with Russia. The japanese ap-
parently do not shrink from the danger
of approaching conflict and have
placed in England orders for large
number of suits of,warm winter cloth
ing in preparation for a campaign in
Korea. 1t is learned from Kobe that a
cruiser with number of Japanese
troops on board recently sailed from a
Japanese port for Korea and three
transports have been chartered to carry
troops to Kobe. The following is a
sample of Japanese journalism:
''The japanese are convinced that to
permit Russia to occupy Korea or to
recognize Russian ascendency in North
ern China would be dead menace to
Japan's rapidly developing strength.
Japan believes her navy is strong
enough to attack Russia and the opin-
ion is that the interests of the two ma
tions are so conflicting that it is impos-
sible to avoid a rupture in the near
future"

French Noble Declares That the Rspub-
lie Will BE Overthrow.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12-Count de la Ches-
ney, who was married at Colorado
Springs two days ago and who passed
through Chicago on his way to Paris,
believes that France will again have a
monarchial form of government.
Nothing will be done in political
way to reorganize the government" he
said, until after the Paris exposition;
that is practically matter of agree
ment among the high statesmen.
But France is near change. The
Fashoda incident and the Dreyfus af-
fair added much to the general discon-
tent among the masses. At the proper
time the man to lead the royalist party
will be found. 1t is not unlikely that
Prince Louis Napoleon, now colonel
in the Russian army, will be the one
who will be chosen"

The Duluth Herald in commenting

The Duluth Herald in commenting
upon Senator Beveridge's speech says
that he did not add one new argument
to the pitiably weak ones that had
been previously advanced. In this the
wish is evidently father to the thought.
Expansion has had some very strong
arguments and Senator Beyeridge
added very materially to the position
that has been taken in that respect.
His was an unanswerable address and
the opposition recognizes that fact.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-01-19

decidedly plain, and that is. that IL
does not matter much to the Republi-
cans, who leads the opposition in this
coming campaign, for whoever he is,
with united Republicanism, he Will
go down at the polls under an avalanche
of votes. They will welcome John Lind
as such leader as warmly as they would
anyone else. He may be the only hope
of fusiondom, but he cannot save them.
No longer will he parade before the
people of this state in false colors.
Henceforth he must stand for what he
really is-a fusionist-and anti every
thing as he defined himself Wednesday
evening.

AN EARLY CONVENTION

The question of an early Republican
state convention is beingsomewhat dis
cussed by the state press, and it is GER
tainly matter that may we'll receive
the attention and thoughtful considera-
ton of the party even at this early
date.
A consolidation of conventions
should be made this year so far as pos.
sible. The people generally have no
taste for half dozen or more conven-
tions coming along within two or
three months An early state conven-
ton will make it possible to select dele
gates to the national convention and
the choosing of candidates for state Of
fees to come off at one and the same
time. Delegates to Philadelphia will
be chosen in May, and the convention
to place in nomination a state ticket
can as we'll be held at this time as a
month later, thereby saving time and
expense and a prolongation of pri-
maries, county conventions. etc.
The Republican party certainly
needs an early convention. Nothing
can be done toward organizing for an
active campaign until it is over. Every.
one must concede that organization is
essential. Two or three months can
be most profitably employed in get
ting thorough organization affected
after the ticket is named before the red
fire of the campaign need be ignited.
A lining up of forces all along has got
to be had before the real fight begins,
and it can only be done after the new
state committe has been named.
1t is apparent that the Republican
voters will demand the nomination of
Van SAINT to lead the ticket, and there
is little evidence to lead one to believe
that he will have any opposition in his
own party for this distinguished honor.
This, then, makes an early convention
all the more easy to agree upon, and
the time for effective organization all
the more desirable.
The Republican party needs more
time for preliminary campaign work
than ever before. and the present
state committee will consult the best
interests of the party by determining
upon an early nominating convention.

his references to it, the fact that Mr..

And further that he left the banking

ure now before congress will render
that committee an unimportant one for
several years to come. Another little
piece of Misrepresentation of the SEN
tinel is that Mr.. McCleary is not in &C
cord with the bill that passed the house.
Bro. Day should know better than this.
Mr.. McCleary is in thorough accord
with the bill, and made speech in the
house in support of it, which was one
of the best delivered. Why should he
not be in accord with it. when all of it's
important provisions were in the bill
which he framed, as a member of the
subcommittee of the house banking
committee. Bro. Day oughtto give his
readers the benefit of the facts as they
are.
