In 1880 German telegraphic engi
neers made some promising experi
ments with aluminum as a material
for telegraphic wires. Its superior
qualities as a conductor of electricity,
having in this respect twice the power
of iron, and the facility with whichjit
was drawn to any desired guage, its
entire proof against corrosion or oxi
dation by exposure to the weather and
its strength and lightness were all
strong arguments-in its favor, but its
greater cast prevented its extensive use.

time before the public as a promising

Some years ago this Government

substituting an aluminum sdloy for

greater hardness and the consequent rss that afternoon, and the boys got

supply of the metal was the strongest
objection to its adoption.
One of the greatest objections to the
extensive use of this metal in the arts,
and especially in the manufacture of
scicntificnud mathematical instruments
hfor which it was peculiarly adapted by
its extreme lightness and resonance,
aside from its cost, had been the diffi
culty of making good joints.
In 1885, M-. liourbouze, an eminent
French metallurgist, after an extended
seiies of experiments, discovered a
means of soldering aluminum success

and tin, bismuth and aluminum. He
found that the metal could be soldered
with either of those alloys, but he tin

Qne of the glories of the ancient

Could convince him that it was not the

The only thing which troubled Hans
was the fear lest his inquisitive little
son, Kaspar, who was always in some

boyish pranks, injure the mechanism
of his wonderful timepiece. No won

the clock-tower, and looked rather
blank on discovering that it was lock
ed, But he was not one of the easily
stopped when he had once made up
his mind. (retting out upon the roof
and crawling along a cornice, where
only a cat or a school-boy could have
found footing, he crept through an
air-hole right into the clock room.
r or some time he was as happy as a
child in a toy-shop, running from one
marvel to another, till at length he
discovered another hole, and thrusting
fv
his head through it, found himself
looking down upon the market nlace
through the place through the face of
the clock itself. But when he tried to
withdraw his head again it would not
come.
It was a queer scrape to be in, and
Kaspar was more inclined to laugh than
to be frightened; but suddenly a
thought struck him, which scared him
in earnest; his neck was in the track
of the minute hand, which, when it
reached him, must inevitably tear his
head off.
Poor Kaspar! It was too late now
to wish that he had left the clock

position, the cry that he gave was
scarcely louder than the chirp of a
snarrow; He struggle! desperately to

but a piece of woodwork had slipped
down the back of his neck, and held
him like a vie.
On came the destroyer, nean r and
nearer still, marking off with his meas
ured tick his few remaining moments
of life. And all the while the son
was shining gayly, the tinny flags was
fluttering on the booths of the mar
ket place, and the merry voices of his
school-fellows, who were playing in the
market-place, came faintly to his ears,
while he hung there helpless, with
death stealing upon him inch by inch.
His head grew dizzv, the measured
beat of the ticking sounded like the
roll of a niuiHed drum, while the com
ing hand of the clock looked like a
monstrous arm out-stretched to' seize
him, and the carved faces on the
spouts seemed to grin and gibber at
him in mockery. And still the terrible
hand crept onward, nearer, nearer,
nearer.
"What can that thing in the clock
face be?" said a tourist below, point
ing his spyglass upward. "Why, I
declare, it looks like a boy's head!
"A boy's head:" cried a gray-headed
watchmaker beside him, one of Hans
Soheller's special friends, snatching
hastily at the glass as he spoke.
"Why, good gracious! it's little Kas

And he rushed tow; rJ the church

In view of these facts and in the
name of the people of North Carolina,
I do most humbly petition the present
Congress to drop the consideration of
the election law and take up the con
sideration of the only question at issue
before the country: How can we sup

of the country?

and nnds its proper vent in more
worldly amusements than missionary
work. I fear too that there is no

heart whose avarice has taken a reli

A Crop That Always Grows
The crops of the farmer grow only
for three or four months. I hey are
constantly liable to failure or disaster.
But the man who holds a mortgage on
the farmer's crops or land has a crop
that glows steadily on and on, through

Devastating floods or
withering droughts may come, but the
mortgage crop grows on. Does the
farmer's crop suffer and dwarf through
his neglect or laziness or sickness?
The mortgage crop still flourishes.

Congressional Life.
NiMH- York Star.
A party of Congressmen were in
Speaker Heed's room at the Shorehaoi
the other night and the conversation
drifted to the subject of Congressional
life in Washington. It was remarked
that a member of Congress from a way
back district could come to Washing
ton, live well, go to evening receptions,
and put on a certain amount or lugs,
without the fact being used to defeat
him on the ground of extravagance.
in short, a member, no matter how
moral the constituency he represented,
was now expected to keep up his end at
the capital.
"It's quite different from what it
used to be," said Major Butterwiuih,
who was one of the party. uWhen
Hen Lcferve eame to Congress as the
Granger statesman fronfOhio, it was
his great dread that some of his con
stituents would discover his luxurious
ways of enjoying life. One day was
in the House when a page brought me
a scrap of paper soaked with moisture
on which was scrawled in lead pencil,
evidently by a dripping hano, this
message:
"Dear Butterworth: lam. down in
the bath room, and a lot of pumpkin
buskers from Auglaize county aro
hunting me. Steer thenrnround until

over at the agricultural department to
get some seed for Ohio, and will be
back soon. I don't want them to
know that I bathe in a marble tub
with perfumed soap. If it should get
out that I bathed any place except in a
creek, I would never get hack iv Con-
