Delegates from all parts of Wash

are swarming into Seattle to attend
the convention of the Federation of

Great enthusiasm prevails among
those who have arrived and some
question pertaining to labor is being
discussed in the hotels and on every
street corner.
The delegation from Spokane was
late in arriving owing to the storms
that have been raging in the Cas-
cades. They had hardly put in an
appearance when they began to pro-
pose Spokane as the next place for
the holding of the convention, and it
is very likely that their efforts will
be successful.

The Original Life Boat.

It is just 113 years since the first
lifeboat was launched. Lionel Lukin,
a coach builder Of Long Acre, was
the inventor.
One hundred years ago there were
thirty iifeboats stationed on the diff
ferent coasts of Britain.
The Royal National Lifeboat Insti-
tuition was founded in 1928. Since
that day it has saved 1900 persons
from watery graves. In 1S49 a life
boat capsized on the Herd Sands, and
twenty out OF a crew of twenty-four
were drowned.
The accident caused the Duke of
Northumberland to offer 100 guineas
for the best lifeboat submitted in open
competition. Mr.. James Beeehing, Of
Great Yarmouth, won the prize.
In 1888 and again in 1887 prizes for
the best lifeboat were offered; but 1t

SuperstitlOus Anxiety.

The advent Of the year 1908 has
aroused a certain amount Of anxiety
among the superstitious in the French
capital-no inconsiderable number, for
the Partisan is much given to occultism
and kindred Sciences" as the profess
sors Of these arts proudly term them.
For 1t has been noted that the first and
last figures of the date 1908 form the
dreaded thirteen, and that-worse still
If the figures be added, the terrible
total is again reached. Then it has
been discovered that there are no less
than three Fridays that fall on the
18th of the month, a combination that
can only spell disaster. A number of
occultists have been consulted by the
enterprising Partisan reporter, and they
have done their best to reassure the
public mind by stating that the in1u-
enee Of the number thirteen must not
be exaggerated, aud that the only oc-
casion on which it undoubtedly exer-
cises an ~unfayorable influence Is when
people sit down thirteen to table

IMITATION ALUMINIUM.

The manufacture Of artificial alumni.
ium has attained considerable impor.
lance through the same process as that
which has revolutionized the graphite
industry. Both the chemical and cleo
trical processes of making aluminium
are in vogue, and the output is SO CON
siderable to-day that aluminium is
more generally used in over two-score
different industries. New shelters for
making the metal are in course Of con
struction at Niagara Falls and at Mas
sena. N. Y, while smaller ones have
been projected In other parts of the
country. The electric furnace used for
this purpose is q carbon-lined crucible,
which forms one electrode, and separ-
ate carbon rods make the other.
The most expensive part Of the pro-
cess is the cost Of purifying the baux-
lite. This is a hydrated oxide Of alum
inium containing large percentages OF
iron oxide, silica and titanic acid. The
elimination of these impurities must be
obtained through a purely chemical
process or by the electric arc furnace.
In the latter the separation is obtained
by heating the metal in contact with
sufficient carbon to attract the impurf-
ties. The oxide is thus left In a fused
state, which is then removed and
cooled. Probably 10000 toms Of alum
inium are produced annually at the
leading factories using the electric
method of manufacture.

The Curfcw Ordinance.
FRosTBrR,i, Mp, March IL, 1903.
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
1t is but fair to the citizens of Frost
burg and just to ourselves as members
of the Ministerial Association that n
candid, unbiased and complete report of
the unsuccessful attempt to persuade
the City Council to pass Curfew ordi-
nance be made.
As secretary of the Association,
acting under special instruction, take
this means of informing the public, and
particularly those who signed the petit
ton which was presented to the Coun-
Gil, of the circumstances attending the
futile effort to secure this much-desired
and much-needed municipal reform.
At the January meeting of the COun-
Gil an ordinance based upon one which
is in force in Roanoke, Va, was sub
mitted by Il committee of the Minis
terial Association. This was referred to
the Ordinance committee, but hot until
Mr.. Johns had expressed himself as
heartily i'll favor of such legislation
At the February meeting the ordi-
nance, with few changes, was re-
ported by the Committee and read.
After few moments of silence Mr..
Duggan arose and said that he had
heard some objections from miners. and
before the Council should take further
action thereon he desired to know the
will of the citizens regarding the ordi-
nance, and, therefore, he moved that
the second reading be postponed until
the next meeting.
The Council by a unanimous vote con-
Cured.
Believing the Councilmen to be sim
cere in expressing desire to know the
will of the citizens, the Ministerial As
ISOLATION took steps to assist i'll finding
out their will, circulating petition to
that effect, which was readily signed by
nearly all who read it, and would have
been signed by many others had the
ministers made further sacrifices of
time and given them the opportunity.
With this petition bearing the names
of many business men $50 many and 50

thought enough names had already
been gOtten,) and also many fathers

At least 100 more votes, therefore,

In that event, there need be no fear
