hopeful that the present disturbance
may end in a fall of snow, as moist

Extending Use of Aluminium.

According to La Metallurgie, at re-
cent meeting of the Socitie d'Encour-
agement pour HIndustrie National, an
interesting paper was read on the sub
stitution of aluminium for wood in the
machinery of spinning mills. In the
textile notwithstanding dyeing,
and silk weaving, among others-a
wooden bobbin is generally used This
is cheap and easily worked, but ii has
many drawbacks. Being very hygro-
metric, it suffers from variations of
temperature; this accounts for the fact
that in spinning factories where the
atmosphere is full of humidity the bob
bins revolve irregularly, causing jerks
which slacken the speed and occasion
the threads to break. The result is
waste of stuff and loss of time in join
ing the threads again. 1t has been
proposed to substitute aluminium for
wood. Bobbins made of this metal re-
volve in any temperature and any de-
gree of humidity; their relative light
ness Give aluminium bobbins weigh no
more than two wooden ones) allows
the machines carrying them to move
more quickly, or an equal speed may
be obtained at less expense of motive
power; finally. the smaller volume Of
the bobbins diminishes the cost Of
transport 1t was stated that several
firms had adopted the use of aluminium
bobbins and had found that they pos
sessed many advantages.-New York
