Mr.. Coligser in the title role IS a

WELDING WITH ALUMINIUM.
New Process Recently Invented In
Germany Has Several Advan-
tages Over Old Method.

Thermit welding, new process in
vented in Germany, bassed on the intense
heat produced by the combustion Of al
minimum, promises to make perfectly
easy the performance Of operations here
tofore possible only by aid of the electric
furnace, and still others to which the
electric furnace cannot be conveniently
applied. Thermit"-literally trans
lated, with heats the name applied
by its inventor to mixture of alumni
MUM and oxide of iron in granular
state and in chemical proportion. This
mixture cannot be ignited by ordinary
means. 1t may be stirred with red hot
bar of iron or thrown into fire, or mol
ten cast iron may be poured on it without
causing ignition. But If even a small
portion of the mixture be raised to tenn
perature nearly approaching that Of
molten steel the chemical affinity Of the
aluminium for the oxygen contained in
the ferric oxide is powerfully developed,
with the result that metallic iron and
oxide of aluminium are produced, the
conversion being attained at heat Of
5000, degrees centigrade. Joints made
with thermit are far sitter than those
made in the usual manner, according to
tests made in Europe, and in the con-
struction of trolley lines prove perfect
electrical conductors and give rail
joint smoother than heretofore possible,
thus adding to the life Of roadbed and
rolling stock.

CORELLl ON LITERATURE.
Authoress Tells Of Rewards Of the
Life and Also Sets Forth It's
Unpleasant Feature.

In a recent article in the Strand Mag
azine Marie Corelli defines the happiest
life as "the life literary, which means
that we can always choose our own
company"
"The author who can hold and main
tain all the real privileges and rights of
authorship" she says, us a ruler Of
millions and under the subsection of
none"
The rewards of the literary life are
set forth by her In detail. They in
clude endless requests for autographs,
innumerable begging letters, impera-
tive. sometimes threatening, demands
for interviews, hundreds of love letters,
at least one offer of marriage a week,
free circulation of lies and ISLANDERS
concerning ones self, bitter luminosity
Of rival contemporaries, and persistent
Misrepresentation of character, aims
and intentions.
Turning from these. characteristic
enumerations of rewards, Miss Corelli
wakes enthusiastic over a cheerful,
contented spirit and tranquility OF
mind, born of firm faith and noble
ideals.
1t is touching picture, the cheerful,
contented spirit of Miss Corelli, which
leads her to avow that between the es-
tate of queens to that of commoners,
she would choose the life literary in
preference to any other.

THE FAMILY OF ROOSEVELT.
Maternal Ancestors of the President
Not Noted for Their Aversion
to Race Suicide.

President Roosevelt's mother was q
Miss Bulloch, Of Georgia, but few facts
have been published with regard to her
family, for the president cannot trace
it further back than to the Bulloch
who settled in South Carolina at the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
A distinguished antiquarian who has
been investigating the history Of the
family says that the Bullochs came
almost to man from the little parish
Of Baldernoch, Stirlingshire. the regis.
tiers of which are fairly complete from
the beginning Of the seventeenth cen.
fury down to the present time. They
unquestionaDly were of Celtic origin
and married for generations into high
land families.
The name originally was Bolloch. 1t
did not take the form of Bulloch till
the middle of the eighteenth century,
when the changes in nomenclature at
fected by the Jacobite rebellion would
seem to have affected it. In any case
the name has nothing to do with the
Bulloch family, which is quite undis-
tinguished in Britain, it's members
being mostly small cotters, weavers or
Golfers.
Not one of the family is to be found
at Baldernoch to-day and though there
are representatives in America and
Canada, the family manifests ten
dency to die out completely, which
seems to show that Mr.. Roosevelt does
| not inherit from his maternal ances
ters his convictions about increasing
the race. :.
