The Cheapest Metal.

Aluminium Is, at the present price,
the cheapest metal in the market, with
the exception of iron, zink and lead
says the Elecrtical Review, London
This metal is now extensively used in
place of copper, brass, tin, and in some
cases even iron, especially where the
ABDUCTION of dead weight is of great
importance Aluminium Is also be-
ginning to be very largely used in con-
nection with electricity, as electrical
conductors on this metal giving the
same conductance as copper, weigh
only half as much, and cost less. 1t is
impossible TO foresee the ultimate ex-
tent of the use to which this metal can
be put, but the progress made iii alum
inum during late years justiffes the
most sanauine expectations. Twenty
years ago the total output in the world
did not exceed four or five tons, and its
price was about $4,000 per ton; ten
years ago its price was reduced to about
$4,000 per ton, the output increased TO
about thirty tons per annum: now the
price is from $3.50 to soc per ton, and
the output during the past twelve
months in reckoned al 5000 tons.

Tacoma Leads In Wheat.

Growth OF breadstuffs exports from
Puget Sound has been of proportions
that demonstrates the Capitalization of
the grain business at Tacoma very
forcibly. The elearances for the week
comprising 33S, sos centals, or 900, ,342
bushels, bring the total since the crop
year opened Sept l TO 3,451, ,753 cen
tails, or 5, ,75s, ,922 bushels. This total
compared with 2,210,3s5 centals expor-
ted during the entire crop year of 1899
so, shows 50 per cent. more wheat sent
abroad for six months than for the en-
tire twelve months preceding. In only
one entire season have these exports
ever been exceeded, and that during
the year 1397-9S, when from record
breaking yield there was sent out ), ,0l2,-
657 centals of wheat from the Sound,
but in that season flour exports were
only 49l, ,306 barrels, while for the less
than six months elapsed our flour ship
n1ents are 569, ,692 barrels, with one full
cargo loaded and ready TO clear. There
can be no doubt about breaking all pre-
vious shipping records, still less regard
ing the effects of efforts TO make Ta-
coma the leading wheat shipping point

iigencer says: According to letters ant
circulars just received by State Superin
tendet r. r. Bryan, there is a need in

You will greatly aid the educational
work in the Philippine islands if YOU

myself the names of several teachers for
whom you are willing to vouch and
who possess the qualifications stated in
the circulars inclosed. Also / request
that you advise the persons so named
OF the need and opportunity and give
them instructions in regard to applica-
tion.n
One of the circulars of information
states that the applicants must be
either normal or college graduates:
must now be engaged in similar work
or positions in the United States; must
be physically sound and able to with
stand tropical climate; must be will
ing to accept whatever positions are
assigned; must contract for three wears.
1T is stated the salaries will be SO to

Superintendent Atkinson are the fol-
lowing statements in regard to climate

Barkbed Wire Telephone.

A Pullman, Wash, dispatch of Feb.
18th, says: A telephone system, with
common barbed wire fences as the
means of conducting the voice of the
patrons, was placed in use here today
and works nicely, conversation being
held over this as easily as over any
long-distance telephone line. The line
runs from True's hotel, i'm Pullman to
the farms of ]. S. and ]. NJ. Klemgard
and J. L. Metsker, nine miles south OF
town, and was placed in operation by
the farmers named for their own
private use. The line consists of barbed
wire fences along the side of the road
from Pullman, and where there is a
break in the fence the regular tele-
phone wire is used TO connect the fence
with the nearest fence running in the
desired direction
Where roads are encountered and
there is break i'm the fence on this ac-
count, poles are placed in the ground
and a wire is strung high enough above
the road to allow vehicles to pass un-
der. AS the entire country is fenced
with barbed wire it is easy to construct
such line and the expense is light
This entire line, nine miles in length,
with four telephones, cost less than
500. The telephones cost S12 each in
Chicago. The chief expense of build
ing the line was encountered In town.
and for two miles out, there being no
wire fence that distance. The poles OF
the electric light company were used
for stringing the wire in town.
