Makes Aluminium More Useful

ITO 90 back for moment to the new metal II
may be explained that this remarkable alloy
is already beginning to be used for quite variety
Of purposes, including typewriters, telephones,
telescopes, monographs, watch cases, surgical
instruments chemical and other scientific
apparatus (for which a combination OF
rigidity and lightness is specially desirable),
automobiles, bicycles, gasolene engines, airshlps,
kitchen utensils, forks spoons, table dishes,
scales. radiators. and piano frames. 1t even
promises TO obtain employment IN the manutac-
ture of wire net and agricultural implements
As vet the ALLOW Is only in the experimental
stage OF its development. 1t Is made with varl-
Gus percentages of magnesium, from two parts
to twelve parts of the latter for every one hun
dred parts OF aluminium. The cost of it is not
great aluminium being so very cheap and mag
nesium purchaSable in large quantities at a
price not greatly exceeding one dollar pound.
The new metal. in fact, represents the solution
of the much vexed aluminium problem. 1t
makes aluminium available for an immense
number of important industrial purposes, while
actually leSsening its weight.
The price of aluminium to-day IS twentv-four
cents pound in large lots. This seems cheap
when one considers that thirty Years ago it
was a curiosity of the laboratory; but. on the
other hand. it seems dear when one realizes
that about eight per cent of the earth'S crust is
aluminium. Every cubic ward of ordinary clay
contains something like eight hundred pounds

Where IL Comes from

THE worlds supply OF aluminium to-day Is ue-
rived from bauXIte, a pure oxld OF aluminium
Deposits of it are limited IN quantity and all OF
those known to exist in this country are con
trolled bv few concerns. Among these IS the
one that up to the present time has held prac-
teal monopoly of aluminium production IN the
United States, owing 10 the possession OF pat
ents on the processes requisite Tor It's extTac-
ton Its vice president IS Charles NJ. Hall, who
discovered the method by which the metal
could be cheaply produced with the help OF
electricity, from bauxite.
Mr. Hail. at the time he patented his epoch
making invention, was a very young man,
newly graduated from Oberlin College. Thanks
to his discovery, aluminium, which sold at nj
teen dollars a pound IN lSS6. fell in 1889 10
two dollars a pound. dropping steadily there
after until as already stated at the present mo-
ment one may buy IT in large lots at twenty
four cents. Any quantity of the metal can be
purchased in Europe at thirteen cents pound.
Eventually all the available bauxite in the
United States will be used up, though an Impor-
tant new deposit has recently been discovered
in Georgia Then it will be question OF work
ing deposits OF lower grade. such as are found IN
unlimited quantities on the plains Of the Bek-
han IN India and in Western Australia
Bauxite as already explained, Is an oXld OF
aluminium 1t IS exactly the same substance as
that produced by the French chemist from or
binary clay in the electric furnace. His prod
uct IS. in fact. an artificial bauXlte. All that
remains is TO cheaper the process, and every
CLAY bank will become mine from which UNI
limited quantities OF the metal can be obtained.

only one and three-quarter times as heaVy; or
in other words very nearly one-third lighter

Underlying Reasons for Forest Work.

Underlying Reasons Tor Forest Work.
Adequately to fulfill their mission,
such movements as forestry and CON
servation require the backing of a
strong and enlightened public senti.
ment. Being charged with the duty of
carrying on work that has so vital a
bearing on the welfare of the people,
forest officials are justified in spending
time and effort in making clear what
forestry is and why it is that forest
work is necessary under such condi-
tions as obtain in Hawaii. It is for
this reason that reports are prepared
speeches made and contributions writ
ten for the newspapers and for the
monthly journal of the board, the Ha-
waiian Forester and Agriculturist. The
end justifes, not only the means, but
also the time and the labor expended.
The purpose of all forest work in
Hawaii is wholly practical. Continued
economic prosperity in Hawaii rests in
the wise use of land and water. With
out the native forests we can not have
a dependable water supply. And with
out the planted forests we should suf-
fer from the lack of local supply of
wood All the efforts of the division
of forestry are, in the end, aimed to
meet more fully one or the other of
these two essential needs. The purpose

PRINCESS OF DARKNESS
ARRIVES IN AMERICA

Eusapia Paladino, the medium whose
performances are styled "the despair
of science,' has come to America,
About her have waged the battles of
savants; on her way across the Allan
tic she froze the marrow of the steam
ship company in a stateroom seance;
she converted Prof. Cesare Lombroso,
the world famous criminologist, to a
strong belief III spiritism, though late
III his life, to be sure; she has been de-
tected attempting trickery during a
seance, on the one hand; on the other,
she has submitted to the most rigid
tests of scientific men to produce tri-
umphantly phenomena which upset all
their cool hypothesis, and reduced them
to the rank of common puzzled
guessers
The names of psychologists who have
examined this medium make an impos-
ing catalogue. They represented d
good share of the scientific institutions
and societies of Europe before Pro-
fessor Lombroso made public avowal
that she had him stumped. Among
them, one notes Sir Oliver Lodge. Prof.
Charles Riehet and NJ. Flammarion; but
the list could be continued up to more
than thirty. Meanwhile, the ability of
this Italian peasant woman, untaught
and mentally rather sluggish. to stulti-
fly some of the keenest brains of Eu-
rope, even supposing the whole per-
Torrance to be a cheat, smells bit
diabolical. Men like to be deceived.
it is true, but not scientific men who
are trying to expose a fraud.
