NEW USES FOR ALUMINIUM.
Valuable Metal in Welding Rail Joints
Rival of Copper.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
When aluminium. first became cheap it
was employed for scarcely anything besides
the manufacture of few household uten-
sis and a class of ornamental and useful
articles of which the pocket matchbox is
type. It's next important service was to
compete with copper as an electrical con-
ductor. Between Niagara and Buffalo and
in several other parts of the country it has
demonstrated it's technical and economic
value in this kind of work beyond doubt
A third field of usefulness has more re-
Gently been opened UP. To this the atten-
ton of Americans is just now directed by
the second visit of DR.. Hans GoldSchmidt
to the United States. His lecture at Column
bia University last Friday revealed new pos
sibiities for the metal. which. according to
chemists, Is more abundant than any other
in the earth'S crust.
The key to the function which aluminium
performs in metallurgy and engineering is
found in the remarkable heat that is sud-
denly developed when it is burned Com
bustion, it will be remembered is simply
the union of given element with oxygen.
When wood or coal Is set ON fire the carbon
combines with that gas and produces car
bonic oxide. Aluminium will not unite with
atmospheric oxygen. though 1t Is neces-
sary to supply the element in a solid form
The oxide of some other metal furnishes
oxide of iron. both pulverized and cold

the right kind is applied a marvellous eff

a furnace. By purely chemical means a
temperature is induced which rivals that of
the electric arc. Within minute or two
the aluminium steals the oxygen from the
iron and the latter is melted If, in ad-

 etc, baked in the day time, nearly all of the master bakers would have to double their plant or run two separate plants in order to bake as much stuff in the day time as is now done by two sets of hands, viz, night and a day force. This would be a heavy ex- pense to the master bakers and one they feel ought not to be imposed upon them. Most of the bake shops have no more room than is absolutely needed now and could not be enlarged. The shops would have to be of double their present capacity if day work alone is done .....:r
