Growth Of the Industry.

A few years later immense sums of money
were being derived from it's manufacture
under patents obtained by a man named
Bradley. These patents were the subject of
a very lively litigation between a Cleveland
company controlled by the family of Edwin
Cowles and a Pittsburg syndicate The
COwleS company had their factory at Lock-
port, n. Y. The Pittsburg company went
to Niagara Falls. In 1908 the two interests
compromised the litigation that had been
going on for eleven years, the Pittsburg Re
duction Company paying the Cowles COM
pany s3OOO,OOO, approximately, for the ex-
elusive use Of the Bradley patents until
they expire in February, 1909. The attor-
neys of the company are now getting ready
to apply for a renewal, but 1t will be little
trouble for them to retain the monopoly
because they have patented various i'm
provements upon the original Bradley pro-
cess which cannot be used by its rivals
Aluminium, you know. is a metallic ele-
ment found in clay, and Is the same mate
rial of which rubies, sapphres, emery and
alum are made. 1t enters into the compo-
stion Of large number Of other minerals
and 1T Is estimated that in it's various COM
pounds aluminium forms about one-twelfth
of the crust of the earth. Every brick in
every building Is said to be 80 per cent
aluminium. 1t is produced by the decom-
position Of clay, which mineralogists will
tell you Is salt composed Of silicic acid
combined with aluminium. The aluminium Is
separated from the silica by the aDDlica-
ton of electricity and has never been sue
cessfully done In any other way. It Is pro-
duced in this country only at New Kensing-
ton. Pa, Niagara Falls, N. Y, East ST.
Louis Mo-. Bauxite. Ark. and Shawenegan
Falls, Quebec. 1t Is also produced In Scot
land. Savoy, France: Neuhausen, Switzer-
land; Baden. Germany, and Salzburg, Aus

The demand Is SO great that the Pfttsbure
Reduction Company. which has recently
changed its name to the Aluminium Com
pany of America and which controls the
patents in the United States. is now dou-
bling Its productive capacity. More than
two-thirds of the entire worlds production
Is made In the United States and the In
crease has been ten-fold in ten years. The
following table will show the phenomenal
growth Of the industry:
