Ing a profound impression, has been
made by DIR. George Giulini, the most
famous expert in the aluminium trade,
states Consul Philip Holland, Basel,
Switzerland, in recent report. This
new metal is produced by putting the
ordinary aluminium through a special
patented process, by which it acquires
the same mechanical qualities and
capacities as bronze, copper and brass
without changing its specific weight. 1t
is said that the price of the new metal
can be kept within very low limits,
so that, even at the pre-war prices of
other metals, it will be able, by reason
of its smaller specifid weight, to COM
pete with copper and brass very favor
ably. The fact that the new metal is
conductor will make 1t especially in
demand in the electrical trade.

Shrub May Prove Valuable.

Two years before the war, as the
story is told, two German chemists
applied for permission to experiment
with the plant life on a great semi-arid
ranch in central Mexico. Their re-
quest was granted, with the under
standing that they furnish a complete
report of their findings. The two
chemists worked feverishly, and chiefly
on a squat, odorous shrub called go
bernadora," long reputed to possess
medicinal properties. Suddenly they
disappeared; what they had discover
ed was never known. Now, after ex-
periments with this same desert
shrub which they have found in drler
parts of New Mexico, chemists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture believe that they have discovered
another alkaloid to add to the list
which already includes morphine,
quinine and cocaine. Its chemical and
pharmaceutical properties are now I'M
der estigation.-Popular Mechanics
