Aluminium.

While experimenting with the en-
tense heat of the electric arc Sir Hum
phry Dayy discovered a metallic sub
stance to which he gave the name of
aluminium, though he never succeeded
IN isolating it. Twenty years later
Frederick Wohler in Germany isolated
this metal through the use Of potas-
stun. In 1S45 he obtained it in small
malleable globules. In 1856 Deville, a
French chemist patroniZed by Louis
Napoleon, improved Wohler's process
and isolated aluminium in a state al
most pure At this time the metal was
valued at $50 a pound. 1t was pro-
duced in chemical laboratories and
used largely in the manufacture of
aluminium jewelry.

thing Tor Their Pains.

An unsuccessful attempt to enter
either the United Store on Fifteenth
street or the WaIk-Over shoe store
next door, was made last night or early
this morning by burglars, believed to
have been professionals.
They were either frightened away or
abandoned the job disguised because
they had wasted labor in boring
through a floor and not gaining en-
trance to the place they wished to.
Police believe that the burglars
sought to enter the United Cigar store
with the idea of rifing the safe, but
got their figures mixed because OF the
peculiar construction Of the building
and bored holes through the floor into
the shoe store.
Two circular saws were found in the
basement of the building, as was also
d brace and bit. Two holes had been
bored in the floor above, evidently with
the original intention Of inserting tie
saw into the holes and saving out a
piece Of flooring, which would have
given them entrance to the rooms
above.
The United Cigar store is adjacent to
the alley on Fifteenth street between
Fourth and Fifth avenues. A corner
of the building was cut away to make
room for the sort Of entrance desired
when the store was opened there. The
basement extends under the sidewalk,
making the problem of digging the
right place to cut through the flooring
rather difficult one.
Discover Mistake Too Late.
Place where the thieves had bored
the holes was right on line with the
floor, directly in front of the safe in
the cigar store The holes, however,
were about four feet south of the safe,
in the other direction. AS this is about
the distance which the basement ex-
tends under the sidewalk police be-
lieve the thieves measured without al
lowing for the sidewalk and as a result
bored through the floor into the shoe
store, discovered their mistake too late
and abandoned the job in disgust.
The fact that the floor of the cigar
store is of cement, except back of the
counter in front of the safe. and the
fact that the holes were bored on a
line with this wooden flooring. is well
nigh convincing evidence. the police
believe, that it was the cigar store safe
the burglars were intent on rifling.

The case is one involving a prin-

has never been passed upon by the su-
preme court-the right of privacy, as
regards displaying ones picture TO

son whose likeness it is.
The plaintiffs will contend that an
individual has right to go from his
work, home, or anywhere on the pub
lie streets, without having his picture
taken, unknown to him, and shown to
the public. This is one point.
Inc second point is that alleging

Attorneys James NJ Johnston and
Andrew Olson, representing Gust
kruse and Peter ChristoifersOn, this
morning filed suits for libel in the Mo
line city court OF Judge G. 0. Dietz
against Henry Hoffman, proprietor of
the Lyric theatre on Sixth avenue just
east of Fifteenth street
The two suits. unique in legal rec

state, are identical in nature, both in
yOlving the alleged showing of like
nesSes on the moving picture screen
of ChriStOtfersOn and kruse with
words beneath each picture which the
plaintiffs declare exposed them to rid
iCule and damaged their regulations.
The two words specified in the dec
laration, filed today, were "Pabst"
and 'Schlitz,' which, the declaration
sets forth, are the names of two wide

Mr.. kruse lives at 1908 Thirteenth
street, while Mr.. Christofferson lives
on Fourteenth street near Twelfth
avenue. Both are employed in local
manufacturing plants, and the pict-
ureS which are alleged to have been
shown in the Lyric are believed to
have been taken while they were on
their way home from work, together.
1t is said that the pictures were
shown on three successive evenings,
on or about April It, IS and 10. I'm

the declaration, was shown the word
"SChlitZ," while under the likeness of
Mr.. ChristoffersOn appeared the word

The declaration sets forth that the
men are sober, temperate and have
good regulations, and that the alleged
