The Two SkiIlfuIIy Combined Pro-
duce "A Beautifully Ruby-COl-
ored Metal.

New remarkable properties of
aluminium are still being discovered.
Its Iightness, ductility and strength
are well understood, but even these
qualities are being constantly devel-
opened and enlarged. Mixed with a
small quantity of gold a beautiful
ruby-tinted metal is produced that
can be used for decorative art. 1t is
said that a comparatively thin sheet
of the metal with turn a bullet.
Wire has been drawn from it as
6ne as and not much heavier than a
6ne silk fiber. In violins it produces
a tone as fine as the most perfect
Stradivarius. The racing shells made
of it are constructed of sheets of
only one-nineteenth of an inch in
thickness that are as strong as an
inch board and less liable to break.
1t does not tarnish and acids have
40 effect upon it, says Ores and
Metals. Race horses are shod with
It. Wounds are sewn up with the
wire.

A GEORGIA STALWART.
Register ]. w. Lyons Conservative
Leader and Master of the Situation
in his Native State.-A f1edgel1ng
Correspondent Gets Wise in a Day.

One OF the best evidences of the un-
reliability of these latter day peri
patetic, ten cent correspondents of our
Negro newspapers is shown by re-
cent article in the Advocate, of Charles
ton, West Virginia, in which feeble
attempt is made to disparage the in
fiuence Of Hon. Judson w Lyons, Re-
gister of the y. S. Treasury. II the
malice and venom of the writer are
conspicuous in this article, his 1gnor-
ance is no less so. Those who know
Mr. Lyons and the personality of this
fffppant migrate do not need to be told
how absurd this attack is, but there
are many who are not so fortunate and
it affords a decided thrill of pleasure
Next this young man has been in the
state of Georgia just about one day,
and yet he preSuInes In that short
period to have sounded all the depths
and shadows Of Georgia politics, and
to forecast the action of the republican
party in the great national convention
in 1904 and subsequently. The race
has chosen as leaders not always wise
ly, but it made no mistake in elevating
Hon. Judson w. Lyons OF an ex-
ceptIonal personal character, of high
education and lofty aspirations. he has
made an ideal leader. Courteous,
dignified always attired as a gentle
man, constantly winning new friends,
the confidential adviser of the inner
circle Of Republican leaders hls magni-
flcent personality has made him not
only the representative of all that
is highest and best in the party and
race in Georgia but a source of pride
to their fellow Negroes throughout
the country.
1t may be true that Mr.. Lyons is
not in touch with the elements which
inspired the Advocates correspondent
and thanks are probably due to kind
Providence for the fact; but Mr..
Lyons makes numerous visits every
few months to Georgia and he is al
ways in demand in his native state.
He is eagerly sought and his views
listened to with profound attention
by all sections and races Of the i'm
perial state of Georgia. Mr.. Lyons is
not tainted with lily whiteism in the
smallest degree but he is an old line
Republican true TO the traditions of
the party and higher still true to his
race He has, as national committee
representative from Georgia, been IN
fiuential in the appointment Of a great
er number Of Negroes than any of his
predecessors.
In the matter OF Capt. WImbish, Mr..
Lyons endorsed him for his original
appointment, and vigorously urged his
re-appointment. 1t is true that MI
Lyons has been associated with the
appointment of some white men, but
what Of it? Is a national committee
man from the South representative OF
the Colored men only?
He is still the potent factor
in Georgia politics, and his
rugged. but pure principles and his
admirable and well-balanced character
are the foundations upon which he has
built this potential structure

DisEu Is ed

"Here is a truth" says a hand
writing expert in the Philadelphia Rec
ord, that is as widespread as the
other. A disguised hand always tries
to be poorer than the real hand That
axiom is a great help to US experts.
For instance, when a letter done in a
disguised hand is brought to US we al
ways know that the writer of the let
ter is in a higher station than the hand
would lead US to infer. Hence, in our
detective work, we are able to save
much valuable time by eliminating all
persons socially below the appearance
of the letter. and concentrating our at
tention on those only who are above

Seven Hen Killed at Peoria, Ills. Yes-

Peoria. Ills. Oct. 3.-Seven men were killed and five others injured by an explosion at Corning's distillery here today. One large section of the five story building was thrown into the air by the bursting of a copper cylinder twenty feet in length and eight feet in diameter. Every man who was in the building at the time of the eX plosion was instantly killed, the in jured men were on the outside.

BREAK THE FAST. The Morning Meal Should Not Be
 Missed.

After nights fast the stomach should have some food for breakfast to sustain mind and body during the morning. It should not be a heavy meal but wise selection will pay inn mensely.
 A young Los Angeles woman says: For years until I used Grape Nuts l have never been able to eat breakfast, for eating in the morn ing was always followed by terrific sick headaches and my stomach has always been delicate.
 Some time ago a friend urged me to try Grape-Nuts food and I began eating it every morning. As q result of its steady use I have gained Il pounds and the headaches have disap- peared entirely and my weak stoma ch has become normal and strong. All my food digests and I now perform my daily duties with a renewed cheerful ness and energy. Evidently I had been eating the wrong food, but Grape Nuts soon put me right" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich

The Integrity of the British Empire

London, Oct. 3.-Former Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has written a manifesto forcibly enunciating the cardinal features of his fiscal policy. He not only reiterates his belief that the federation of the empire depends upon fiscal retaliation, with it's con sequent taxes upon England's food. but openly classes the out and out Cob dcnite& with the Little Englanders," " whom he derides with all the force of ridicule and argument of which he is such a master.
