ALLOY is EXTREMELY LIGHT
Metal With Practicable Tensile
Strength and Specific Gravity Less
Than That of Aluminium.

Aluminium has become so indispens-
able In all sorts Of metallic products on
account Of its extreme lightness that
the attention of the commercial metal
lurgists has been turned to the in
yestigation of the combining properties
Of magnesium, which is even lighter
than aluminium, but lacks the tensile
strength that would make it valuable
in practical work. Aviators would
doubtless welcome the discovery of an
alloy OF magnesium from which It
would be possible to construct the
frames of their machines. Other
branches of engineering could make
extensive use of a metal with a spe-
cifc gravity of IT, and all sorts of
uses have been suggested, but until
the last month or SO magnesium has
refused to combine.
A French patent now describes a
process Of making an alloy of zinc
and magnesium containing as high as
80. and in some cases So per cent. mag
nesium. This alloy is said to be a
metal with practicable tensile strength
and a specific gravity almost so per
cent. less than that OF aluminium.
The same inventor describes an al
10y of calcium in practicable form
which has the remarkable specific
gravity of 1.5S.

BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

Chic Fraser, the veteran pitcher who
retired from the major leagues rather
under pressure. then came back last
season and pitched better ball than he
has In years. lives at Park Ridge, Ill.
Last summer he showed the natives a
new method of craftsmanship.
1t happened that Bill Kabow, the
Park Ridge grocer, got stuck on lot
of prunes, $50 pounds of them. He &C
cepted them and when he opened the
boxes he found about the most dried
up, shriveled, juiceless, worm-eaten,
dusty lot of prunes ever unloaded.
Even the boarding honse keepers SHE'D
at them at less than cost price, and
Fraser dropped in at the grocery one
morning, sampled the cheese, ate some
crackers, fished couple of pickles out
of the barrel and drew a glass of cider
before he noticed his friend Bill was in
mourning. His inquiries brought out
the story of the prunes Chic climbed
onto barrel, polished an apple and
said:
bill, how much will you give me to
sell those prunesT
Give you half what you get" said
the respondent Bill.
Tell you what to do" said Chic.
you lend me about a dozen of those
fresh pickerel, FIVE or six nice fresh
black bass, and pound of those
prunes. Then don't sell any of them
until tell you, and raise the price four
cents a pound"
Shortly afterward Fraser, armed
with fishpole and a package, disap-
peared toward the Des PLANES river,
and not long after that Kabow's deliv-
cry wagon driver passed and dropped
the fish. At noon Fraser appeared in
the main street of Park Ridge with
string of beautiful bass and pickerel,
one Of the bass four-pounder, and he
exhibited them all along the street be-
fore he slipped them In the back way
at Kabow's. That afternoon every bus
iness house in Park Ridge closed and
half the men went fishing-without
catching thing. The next day Fraser
came through town with another big
string Of fish, and when questioned as
TO where he caught them acted so mys-
teriously that spies were set to watch
him.
Friday morning Fraser went fishing
again and slipped away from the curl
GUS followers, after dropping several
hints that It was all in the new bait
he had discovered. He fished quietly
for time. then stuck his pole into the
bank, crawled back into the shade of
tree and pretended to sleep. Within If
teen minutes couple of rival anglers
crept stealthily along the bank, pulled
in Fraser's line and found all three
hooks baited with prunes. Before Sat
urday noon Kabow had sold out the
entire stock of bait prunes, and

Compressed Gas.

Within the last ten years the prac-
tice of transmitting compressed gas
from some central station to small
towns has grown rapidly. In Illinois
one plant now supplies nearly 1000
consumers, in Indiana another has as
many. and in California a plant has
about 5000 consumers on it's lines Of
pipes. Another plant is now project
ed to supply 5000 consumers, and it
is estimated that 100 miles of piping
will be required. The system has been
developed to compete with electricity.
The mains used vary from two to six
inches in diameter. When the gas is
delivered the pressure must be re-
duced, and this is effected either by
a local low-pressure distributing sys-
tenn. or by service governors connected
with each meter.

CHEAP POWER STORAGE PLAN
Water Could Be Pumped Into Tanks
by Use Of WlndmiIls- or by Sun
Engines, or BY Both.

The power storage plan Of Prof. K
A. Fessenden, first made known at the
last meeting of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science, de-
ponds upon the use of intermittent
cheap power for pumping water from
tanks sunk 1000 feet or so into the
earth, and keeping the water in sur
face tanks until needed. The power
thus stored would be made available
at any time by causing the water to
drive turbines on its way back to the
lower level The water could be
pumped in the usual way by wind
mills, OF. by sun engines, or, better, by
both. Solar heat is to be utilized by
means of a large tank containing
shallow layer of water and having
steam-tight covering of wired glass. 1t
is stated that the heat can be made to
boil the water, generating steam
enough to run a low-pressure turbine,
and it is calculated that sun tank"
$50 feet square would develop more
than 1000 horsepower for seven hours
a day through the year. 1t seems evil
dent, however, that such result could
be had only in favorable climate.
Comparing the expense of different
sources of energy, Professor Fessen-
den has estimated that power from
water stored by the sun and wind
pomps would be about one-fifth Of that
of steam, one-fourth of that of gas. six
fifths of that of Niagara Falls and
somewhat less than twice that of the
cheapest water powers.
