ALUMINIUM.

Aluminium is at the present time
the cheapest metal in the market,
with the exception of iron, zinc and
lead. The metal is now extensively
used in place of copper, brass, tin
and in some cases even iron, espe-
cially when the reduction of dead
weight is question of great i'm
portance. Aluminium is also begin
ming to be used very largely for cleo
trical conductors, as it gives nearly
the same conductance as copper,
weighs only half as much and costs
less.
The progress made in the use of
aluminium in the past few years
justifies the most sanguine expecta-
tons. Twenty years ago the total
output in the world did not exceed
four or five tons and its price was
100000 per ton; ten years ago its
price was reduced to about $4,000
per ton and the output increased
to about 30 tons per annum. Now
the price is $3.50 to $500 per ton,
and the output during the last IL
months is feckoned at 5000 TONS

DAMMING THE NILE.

The British government has
undertaken to restore the ancient
order of things by storing the food
waters of the Nile, so that by irri-
eating once more the desert lands
of Egypt will be in a condition to
supply cotton, cereals and other
products enough for the markets Of
the world, since three crops can be
raised in a year. This is to be ac-
Complished by the erection of dams
across the channel of the Nile. Two
of these are now nearing compile
ton.
1t is of interest to know that
$4,000 natives and Italians are now
at work in shifts of 1880 each by
night and day in completion of the
dam. The same quarries that sup,
piled stone to King Mena are being
worked by them, and the grooves
and notches of laborers who extract
ed rough material for the temples
of Philae and Cleopatra's needle
were found by the men who are
using modern implements propelled
by steam to obtain stone for the
dams.--Lcslie's Magazine.

BEST AMBULANCE SERVICE.

In its ambulance system Of giving
first aid to the wounded New York
y far in advance of any other place
in the world, and there is no city
outside of the United States where
the ambulance service has passed
much beyond its elementary stages,
writes Francis H. Nichols. The
New York system has been studied
by physicians and hospital authori-
ties all over the world, and such as
exist elsewhere are very largely
copies of it.
In America the ambulance is now
in vogue in Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, st. Louis, Pittsburg and
New Orleans. In Europe the near
est approach to it is found in
Vienna, where 20 ambulances and
physicians are constantly at the
service of tho Volunteer Humane
society, a voluntary organization
established after the catastrophe Of
the Ring theater in 1881. Vienna
ambulances are not attached to hos
pitfalls, as in New York, but are
maintained in buildings especially
erected for them on the same plan
as the American fire houses

A BOTTOMlESS PIT.

For the last three weeks the Rut-
land Railroad has been contending
with sort of n bottomless pit, about
half mile north of Ferrisburg de-
pot.
AT this point the railroad crosses
Lewis creek at the "Back Ridge"
and some 20 or 80 rods south of this
bridge the creek makes an oXbow,
cutting along the base of the vail
road fill, though in n sluggish way,
with no particular cutting away of
the banks. Since the second land
slide at this point, moving the rail.
road tracks several feet, about a
half dozen other similar slides have
occurred.
There have been over 100 car
loads Of stone and dirt, 339 of them
stone, dumped into the hole. n
mass of dirt had been pushed into
Lewis creek, damning up the chan
mel to depth Of five to eight feet.
The river was set back over a great
extent of int, vale, and it looked us
though a new course would be
formed through the meadow of Il
farm.
The sub-soil seems to be soft blue
clay that handles like hard or soft
putty. A testing rod was run down
so feet, and so far as any one knows
it could have been kept going only
that the rod was not long enough.
The rod was thrust down by hand.
The railroad has been running over
the spot since 1913.

and to drink a Russian toast means
the rapid consumption of a full
glass of strong alcoholic liquid.
Then the glasses are turned upward
and they must leave no moist spot

to be responded to with another,

again celebrated, and so on. "Whcn

In the ascendant. General Hamp-

the rainbow trout and very success
fully.
The instant the fish was landed
it was dressed and a chunk of sweet,
fresh butter, a pinch Of salt, a
shower of pepper and a diminutive
rasher of breakfast bacon were
placed inside. A fish shuck, out of
which the roasting ear had just been
taken, was procured, and the trout
thus prepared put in place of the
ear, the shuck smoothed down and
tied at the silk end. Then this
shuck with its precious cargo was
put in the embers and covered with
live Goals until the fish was done to
an exact turn, the roasting ear was
toasted before tho fire, and a corn
hoeoake, such as only our colored
fellow citizens know how to manu-
facture, was brought into requisi-

times-onco in water before he is
captured, once in butter after he is
