mo second visit of Or. Hans Goidschmidt
to the United States. His lecture at Co
l,,mbia university last Friday reveaied
new possibilities for the metal, whlch, ac-
cording to chemists. is more abundahs
than any other in the earths crust.
The key to the function which aluminium
pcrforms in metallurgy and engineering ~
found In the remarkable heat that is sue
denly deve,oped when it is burned. Com
huston. it will be remembered. is simply
the union of "A given element with oxygen.
When wood or coal is set on nre the cur
bon combines with that gas and produces
carhonic oxide. Aluminium will not unite
with atmospheric oxygen. though. 1t ~
necessary to supply the element In a sol''
form. The oxide of some other metal fur
nishes this. If equal parts of aluminium.
and the oxide of iron, both pulverized and
cold. are placed in a crucible and Il tiny
fuse of the light kind is applied a mar
velous effect is produced. The receptacle
becomes a furnace. BY purely
means 2 temperature is induced which ~
walls that of the electric arc. Within a
minute or two iron and the latter Is
melted. If. in advance and with Il view
to further operations. the iron is charged
with the proper amount of carbon or
some other element the product is a steer
possessing Qualities that adapt 1t TO some
special services. (;
One highly practical operation made lea
sible by the process here described is the
welding of rails on trolley roads. In or
der TO employ both the main track n
the third rail Of there be one) as electri-
cal conductors 1t is customary to do one
of two things. Either Il copper bond Is
attached to the ends of adjacent rails at
each joint or u little molten iron Is poured
around the cold steel there. The latter
operation, as formerly conducted. involved
the use of cumbrous and expensive APP
paratus. In Europe aluminium is now used
to some extent instead. A small! portable
crucib!c. tapering to a point, Is adjusted
over the right spot, a mold is formed
around the Joint TO be welded. the proper
ately a supply of liquid steel is ready to
be run into place. So intense is the heat
of the latter that 1t dissolves part of the
metal of which the rail is composed and
q joint of surprising strength Is created.
Here, again, aluminium figures as II rival
of copper. and ii promises to make the old
style of bond unnecessary.

Russian Circumlocution Department
Sends Approval of Epoch-Mak-

Vassali Yaruishkin, a brilliant grad
uate of Moscow university, has just died
there in poverty at the age of 80.
Twenty-three years ago Yaruishkin
wrote a work on physiology, embodying
a number of remarkable discoveries ne
had made. His scientific friends pro-
nounced it epoch-making. The manu-
script vent to the censor in 1888. 1t
never came back. Again and again the
author applied for permission to print,
and for the return of his manuscript.
He accumulated a drawerful of formal
replies, saying that the matter would
receive attention. Soured and disap-
pointed, NJ. Y~aruishkih never undertook
other work, and a few weeks ago he
died. On the morning of the funeral
a packet of manuscript arrived at the
house where he died, with the stereo-
typed approval of the censo expressed
in a formal note.

ROBIN PICKS AN ODD MATE
Has Lived in Same Nest with a Spar

Cheers an Invalid.

1t is a singular little family that has
made its home for the last three years
on a Cleveland CO., street. 1t is COM
posed of a robin and a sparrow, who
live in a nest in a maple tree. For three
summers an invalid in the house near
by has had endless enjoyment watching
The happy little family. The family is
singular in that the representatives Of
two species of birds supposed to be dead
ly enemies live together in harmony.
Some three months ago the invalid,
watching from her chair at the window,
saw Miss Robin hopping cheerfully
about in the back yard. She was all
unmindful of the cat, who was crouched
for a spring on the top OF the fence. Mr..
sparrow saw the cat, however, and just
In the nick of time swOoped down and
warned Miss Robin of her danger. Their
friendship began from that moment,
and evidently soon ripened into love,
because the invalid noticed a week or so
later that they were occupying the same
nest. Each season since they have re-
turned to the domicile. The sparrow
evidently goes south for the winter with
his mate.

USE QUEENS GREAT SEAL.
New One for Edward VII. Has Not
Yet Been Finished and Old
Dies Still Serve.

Although Queen Victoria has been
dead for several years, yet, astonishing
though it may appear, her great seal
still continues to be used for the seal
ing of all official documents. This is in
accordance with precedent and has led
to a good deal of confusion among his
torians, since ancient documents are
often found bearing the seal Of the SOW
ereigns who have died as many as ten
and fifteen years prior to the date re-
corded therein. The new great seal of
King Edward will not be ready until
the end of this year, and, instead of
being made of silver, as has always been

wax is poured in and the great seal is
ready to be attached to the document to
which it is to give official value.
