CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR NICKEL.
Equal In Ductilc strength and Costs
Much Less 10

A new metal called monel. which is
expected to cause something of a rev
olution in the industrial world, is being
produced at the works of the Canadian
Copper Company at Sudbury, Ont. says
the New York World. 1t is cheaper
than nickel, ard ii is claimed that ii
Possesses all the qualities OF the for
mer.
Atonel is a compound Of copper. nick
ell, iron and one or two other minerals
which are found in the district. and its
Importance lies in the fact that ii Is
much less costly than nickel, is less Ii
able to rust and will serve all the pur-
poses for which nickel is at present
utilized. The company has now got
beyond the experimental stage in the
production of this new metal. 1t costs
very much less to produce il tina nick
ell, as the costly refining process IS dis
pensed with.
1t was the result of soine expert
ments made by +. II. Clergue II his
chemist. Mr.. sjostedt, aiming at the
production OF nickel steel for W
armor plates, hat turned the attention
of the Canadian Copper Company TO the
possibility arising from nickel alloys.
What greatly facilitated the expert
ments was the fact that the meltil.
point of nickel and iron are practical
IL the same. while that of copper is
very little higher.
The new metal is said to be OF equal
ductile strength with nickei and 10 pos
sess all its other essential qualities.
but II is not vet claimed that ii would
serve the purpose OF nickel steel used

'0s GLASS RECEPTION.
Brilliant Assemblage of Graduates and Friends Pass Pleasant Evening.

Last evening the class of 1908 gave their reception at Leavenworth hall and owing to the jealous work of those in charge the affair proved to be most enjoyable event Among the guests present were Mir and Mrs Stephen W. Wilby, Miss Gloster and Mir and Mrs Donovan. The reception consisted of twenty-one dances, of which the barn dance seemed to be the popular feature, this figure being encored again and again. During the intermission Miss Helen Cross deliv- cred the presentation speech in a most charming manner, and she man. aged to be very appropriate in her selection of presents for the mem- bers. Much credit is due the commit tee for the tasteful manner in which the hall was decorated. From each side were pennants in blue and white and in the center of the stage was hung large banner with the words "Class 1908" worked in daisies. The stage was decked with palms and ev- erywhere could be seen the class col ors. The committee in charge con- sisted of Harold c. Mabbott. Eleanor E. Mccarthy, Helen McDuff, Harry l.. Platt and John c. Borchardt. Full tons orchestra rendered a very pleas Ing musical programme.
