they accept these opinions voicing the

them favor the English system, they seem
to feel that they are perfectly justified in
deciding upon that system If they deem it

SELIUM, THE, NEWEST METAL.
II mas Strength and R1gidity Greater than
aluminium, Is Lighter and
Costs Far Less.
The Brooklyn Eagle.

The Brooklyn Eagle.
The announcement comes from
Germany that Frenohman, Edward
Mollard, has reported to the State
department the discovery of another
metal. This now metal is called
selium and is both lighter aud
stronger than aluminium. Ita hard.
ness ls not quite equal to iron, but
is greater than zinc, aud it's power of
resistance ranks between iron and
steel. The greatest advantage of tho
new metal is it's cost of production,
which is only about one twentieth
that of aluminium. Selum does not
corrode and is capable of a very high
polish. The former quality is an
important requisite in ship building,
while the latter makes the new metal
exceptionally suited for cooking
utensils.
Numerous experimenters have tried
to obtain metal as light as alum
mum, but one which would possess
greater rigidity. AT first magla-
mum, which is II combination Of al.
uminum and magnesium, seemed to
fulfil these conditions, but few
trials proved that 1t possessed very
short grain, which destroyed all elias
ticity. In other words, the metal
WAS capable of sustaining Il strong
pressure, but breaks easily.
Such metal, therefore, as selum,
possessing the good qualities Of al
uminum, together with strength, rig
idity and the quality of receiving a
high polish, can scarcely help be-
coming strong commercial factor,
especially when the low cost Of pro
| dnction is considered. 1t is to be
hoped that selium possessed sll the
advantages claimed for it.

LITTLE BOY BRUTALLY BUTCHERED.
Jack the Ripper Makes His Appearance III
DetrOit-nlaniac Of Unusual
Cunning.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 1S.-Tne mu.
tilated body of four year-old Alphonse
Wilmes, whose father lives on Stauhin
avenue, was found today in lot at
the rear of the Michigan Stove Works
at Adair and Wight streets. The
body was discovered by II workman
about 10 o'clock wedged in between
two molding boxes, The hands were
tied behind with wire and red hand
kerchlef had been stuffed down the
little fellow, throat for q gag. The
body was partly stripped Of clothing.
The abdomen was slashed open and
the left wrist WAS nearly severed.
Both thighs also had long cuts in
them. All the wounds bad appar-
emily been made with very sharp
instrument. Alphonse had been
missing from his home since yester
day noon. Nothing was thought of
his absence at first, but when he did
not return for supper a search was
begun that ended with tho identified
tion of tho body by his father at the
morgue this forenoon.
1t is evident that the murder WAS
not committed near where the body
was found, for although scarcely Il
drop Of blood was left in the little
fellows body, there was practically
no blood on the boards where he was
found. A search for blood stains to
and from the scene was inaugurated
without result Perhaps the strang.
est phase of the mystery is that there
were only a few small stains on the
body and clothing Of the lad, despite
the horrible character Of his wounds.
1t looks asthough the murderer, after
committing the deed, washed the blood
from the body, and then carried 1t tC
tho lot where it WAS found. The
police are satisfied that the boy was
murdered by maniac and are work
ing along these lines alone. The Off
GERS are inclined to believe that the
child was killed in some house and
that afterward the murderer carried
his body, IN q sack or wagon, tc
the lonely spot where it was found
today. There have been several othe,
crimes against children in the city
recently, and many persons believe
that Il maniac of unusual cunning il
responsible.
