1t is perhaps not generally
known that alunina, from which
we get aluminium, Is the most
abundant base in nature. Wise
hart. who tells the story in his
''Marvels OF Science" points out
that the oxide alumina-a fine
white powder, like cooking soda
constitutes about 8 per cent of
the earth's crust.
Its abundance may be realized
from the fact that iron, the next
most abundant base, comprises
only five and a half per cent.
Synthetic gems, such as artificial
rubies and sapphires. are manu-.
featured simply by adding a little
coloring matter to pulverized
alumina and fusing this by means
of an oxyhydrogen blowpipe.
aluminium has an interesting
history. The first man to ex-

was the famous German chemist,
Friedrich Woehler. But his
method was too expensive for
general use. Later the French
chemist. Deville, made aluminium
on a commercial scale; but the
expense was still so great that
aluminium could only be used for
ornamental purposes. It was a
young American, Charles Martin

cial and tourist-which used to
pass through Alexandria. The
statement is perfectly true, but
Port Said has not yet developed
to the point where it has taken
first honors away from Alex
andria.
For some reason Alexandria is
often neglected by tourists. This
should not be, for it is vastly
interesting city. And 1t has great
historic significance.
Founded by Alexander the Great
in 332 B. c., Alexandria soon be-
came the foremost Seat Of learn
ing along the southern coast of
the Mediterranean. It was the
home of Ptolemy, the father Of
astronomy: Philo and Hypatia,
the famed philosophers; Apollo and
Barnabas, the companions Of st.
Paul on his journeys, and also of
st. Mark, who wrote the Bible
Gospel which bears his name.
The most famous structure in
Alexandria was the Pharos, or
lighthouse. This was a beacon,
built on q promotory and hav-
ing an elevation of 600 feet above
the sea level. Every night fires
were built atop it and mariners
were thus guided into port. In
later days the Pharos was re-
placed by q modern lighthouse.

LIBERTY CHANGES THEATER SCHEDULE
 WINTER MONTHS

AS will be seen in the advertise ment tle Liberty theatre is mak- ing radical change in operation. Beginning rroW winter schedule will go into effect.
 The strong effort of the steam ship companies and the railroad officials to limit the stay of tran sients in Seward to hte least possi- ble time" said MT. Brownell, man ager of the theatre, together with the many winter nights taken by social and athletic activities, makes it wise, for the sake of economy and more interesting programs, for us to reduce the number to two new ones a week instead of the -four now shown.
 Under this plan we will have fresh programs on Sunday and Wednesday. Repeating Sundays show on Tueseday, and Wednesdays $ show in Saturday, making four show nights a week"
 Asked if there would still be two shows on Saturday and Sunday, MT. Brownell answered, No, but for the patrons who cannot come early those nights we will show the filler reels (News, Educationals, Fables, Comedies), a second time right after the first show is out. The feature will be shown but once on any night"
 Mir BroWnell praised the quality of features secured for this circuit Iby Captain Lathrop, saying No where in the states can a theatre, or circuit, show higher average Iof features than we do here and the people should be glad we have Ia man like Captain Lathrop own ing this circuit, rather than one who thought of profits only.
 Captain Lathrop very kindly all lows us to take our pick of the four programs coming each week, and we shall try to select those to the greatest number
 Tn running only four nights week we have more time and op- portunity to work up vod-a-vil acts and musical numbers to add to the
 
 feel that this theatre is their play house and center of entertainment and we welcome all suggestions given to that end'
 To start the new schedule off right the first program Sunday has been selected as being espec- ially interesting, as will be seen from the advertisement.
