SUBSTITUTES FOR COPPER.
a Hint That May Prove Useful to
Electricians.


One of the chief uses to which cop
per is put is to conduct electricity. The
high price of the metal, notwithstand-
ing the abundant production, has led
the manufacturers of electrical equip
ment to look around for substitutes.
One was found several years ago in
aluminium. Being much lighter than
copper, and nearly as good conduc-
tor it will pay to use it when the price
is not more than twice that Of the red
metal And now comes an announce
ment of another thing which perhaps
can be used. Sodium it is asserted,
weighs only one-ninth as much as cop
per and conducts about one-third as
well. A pound Of sodium, therefore,
ought to conduct three times as well
as a pound Of copper wire. Just now
sodium is much more expensive than
copper because only small quantities
are produced, but an electro-chemist
named Belts is the authority for the
statement that it could be manufac-
tured on a large scale for Z II cents
a pound. That is less than half the
present price of copper. Hence, if
sodium was perfectly satisfactory in
every other way it would Go the
work at one-sixth the expense of cop
per
However, sodium is not well adapted
to the proposed service because it is
too soft, and it burns too easily. 1t
can be set on fire by throwing it into
water. Hence it would be necessary
to do one of two things. 1t might be
inclosed in a thin tube of hard metal
iron, for instance-or some sort of an
alloy made in which the conductivity
Of the sodium would be combined with
the strength of some other metal. The
plan recommended by Mr.. Belts is to
fill iron pipes with sodium. These
would be too heavy, of course, to
serve as trolley wires or telegraph
wires. but would make admirable
underground conductors where it was
necessary to transmit large amounts
Of electricity. Burial would have the
additional advantage that it would
lessen the risk of fire because, if
sodium is likely to ignite easily a
bare wire Of that material might be
more dangerous than a copper one.
1t is evident that the matter needs
more study before anything pracsical
can come from Mr.. Belts suggestions,
but it is not impossible that the hint

From afar down the dark trench one
long blast Of the whistle signaled down

half-dOzen strokes showed me that
work with the pincers was wasted eff

settled down to slashing the packed
snow with my heavy knife-blade.
I was over my furry now. Without
the loss of quarter-second by a tardy
