Mr. Dalzcll's speech on the tariff in the IIous? last Fr.day presented a very strong illustration of the value to Pennsylvania of a man i ho is able to adequately represent her political and industrial opinions on the floor of the House. It is a singular fact that while Pennsylvania has been one of the buttreses of the protective sj-stem, Mr. Dalzell is the first member of Con gress since W. D. Kelley who has the men tal and oratorical equipment to properly champion our views in debate, while Pitts burg has not within the memory of the present generation furnished a predeces sor to Mr. Dalzell who was able to take the place in tariff debates which he has done. It is even a further exaggeration of this peculiarity that when the tariff comes up in the Senate, Penusjlvania will have to depend on Senators from other States to properly champion the cause which this State regards as the most vital. Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire will furnish able advocacy to the cause of pro tection; but it would seem as if the State which assumes the leadership in the popu lar support of that policy might like to have a representative in the Senate able to take a similar leadership m debating and framing tariff legislation. The recent vote of the Republicans in certain coun ties of the State, however, shows that they regard ability to fix up conventions and pull wires as more vital to the politics of Pennsjlvama than the championship of her industrial cause, when it is at stake, on the floor of Congress. The rest of the State will do as it chooses, but Pittsburg can testify that the sensation of having as her representative in Congress a man of the intellectual equipment that fits him for leadership in debating the questions most vital to our people is entirely too pleasant to be ab jured or lightly thrown aside. ELOOLT SIMPLICITY. Senator Sherman's speech before the Loyal Legion last night was a touching tribute to the worth of his dead brother. Its plain simplicity and straightforward ness are in great contrast to the exag gerated eulogies which are rather calcu lated to bring out the oratorical ability of the reciter than the character of the man whose career is hidden under a mass of superfluous and extravagant praise. The simple recital of a great man's life is the best token of his greatness. General Sherman's ability is shown by his pluck and perseverance in overcoming early difficulties and his far-sighted per spicuity m discerning the magnitude of the struggle of the Civil War much earlier than others. His patriotism is strikingly indicated by his prompt adherence to the Union albeit he was personally opposed to the Abolitionists. The services which he rendered to his country during the war ara a matter of general knowledge, and aie sufficiently eloquent in themselves. General Sherman was a great man, and his brother showed his greatness by the almost bare storj of his career. KEMATtKAKLK APBIt WEATHER. The bright and cool weather of jester day succeeding so closely upon the sultry temperature of the previous few dajs was a w elcome charge in many respects. The heated period, coming so closely on the wintry weather of March, was a trj ing test on many constitutions, and so long as the warmth lasted the danger increased of br.nging fruit and vegetation to a stage of progress where it would be injured by the 5-uceceding April frosts. Bej ond that tne atmospheric conditions were eminently such as to favor cyclones and tornadoes such as the Northwest experienced. The transition to a more equable and bracing temperature in this section without the accompaniment of destructive storms is a grateful one. The period of heat thus ended was a remarkable one. The records of the Sig nal Sen ice do not show any such heated term for the first fhedajs'of April, and no official observations are Known that establish a parallel. The prevalence of this hot weather all over the country was accompanied by a cyclone belt stretching from Texas to the upper lakes With sporadic developments as far East as this State and New York. The peculiarity is also noted it reports of damages by wind arc, not exaggerated of severe tornadoes at certain spots while forty miles away the force of the wind did not much if any transcend normal conditions. The con trasts afforded by the fcize of the country is also illustrated by the fact that the next day after this sultry heat m tue East snow storms were reported intheDakotas. The weather prophet who could have been bold enough to predict this weather for the opening of Ajinl would have made a lucky hit. As it is, the only thing left will be for Prof.-Lieut. Torten to twist it into some relation, at present undiscern able, with his apocalyptic calculations. SnOHTCOKIXGS OF STATES3IEX. It was extnjmcly bad management on Speaker Crisp's part to treat Mr. Burrows to a snub w hen the latter w as anxious to ar range for an extension of the time allowed for discussing the Springer bill It was a mistake, because discourtesy is always such, whether in the House or out of it. Moreover, it was detrimental to the dig- nity which should surround the Speaker, and, incidentally, it proved disastrous to the party whoso interests he sought to further. Next to the nearest approach to fair-mindedness obtainable from a parti san politician, equability of temper and capacity for self-control are the most nec essary characteristics for the Speakership. In these qualities Crisp has shown himself strikingly deficient Not content with an inclination to political intrigue which has made him many foes among his own party, he has frequently distinguished himself by an irritability of temper only exceeded by his readiness to pour forth the vials of his petty wrath. But, even were Speaker Crisp far -worse than he is, there can be no excuse for the actions of men who hinder national legis lation for a whole day as a revenge for a slight to the feelings of one of their number. It Is perfectly true that the practical hindrance amounts to nil, siuce the bill under discussion cannot pass the President's veto even if it pass the House and Senate. But that aspect of the case makes no difference to the principle at issue. The men in Congres are there to do all they can toward ac complishing the objects for which their constituents elected them and pay them salaries, and not for tho furtherance of their own ambition, the protection of their susceptible feelings, or the indulgence in petty spite. The ease with which Representatives appear to forget their business In the Capitol is discreditable alike to their memories and consciences. There is far too much disregard of duty for personal purposes on the part of most members of Congress The time for reform is now, but there is little hope that it will appear while voters refuse to bestir themselves for the election of men who will treat their office as a trut SENATOR WOWOTrS MISTAKE. Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, yester day delivered his mind of a speech on sil ver which is referred to in tho telegraphic reports as being sarcastic; but which can be more properly defined as plaintive. His complaint at the way in which the party machinery on both sides has suppressed the silver bill most really readies perti nence when he quotes from President Harrison the expression of a hope that gold and silver would eventually circulate side by side, and then contrasts with this hope the present failure of silver legisla tion. This is only comparatively pertinent, for whatever grounds for criticism there are on the Administration silver policy and The Dispatch has made them freely there was nothing in the issue, as pre sented to this Congress, contemplating the joint use of silver. The Bland bill was silver monometallism with scarcely an attempt at disguise. The major ity report on that measure to the House contemplated the estab lishment of a gold premium and the refusal by the Treasury of gold pay ments in redemption of the Treasury pay ment. Mr. Bland and his friends may not have comprehended that this meant the removal of gold from circulation and the reduction of the monetary system of the country to the single silver basis. But their mental limitations do not in the least change the issue, which, as urged by the silver men, is silver monometallism and a scaling of the monetary standard to 70 per cent of its silver value. When the silventes are ready to join in an honest attempt to establish genuine bi metallism they will occupy a very differ ent position from that taken in the sup port of the Bland bill. Until then they, and not their opponents, are the proper subjects of sarcasm. SURCIC It PROGRESS. The operation described in our special tel egram from San Francisco emphasizes the advance which modern skill and research have made in surgical science. That the actions of the heart and lungs were di rectly obscn ed by means of an electric lamp is startling proof that the impossible of to-day becomes the feasible to-morrow. While surgery has made enormous strides throughout tne civilized world, its prog ress has been especially marked in this country. The discoveries of science allied with patient perseverance and mechanical in vention have done much and will do more to lessen mortality. But while curative surgery continues to prolong the average length of life the progress of preventive treatment has made comparatively little advance. There are numbers of diseases to-day of which the causes are unknown and of which the treatment is very doubt ful. Medicine must bestir itself if it wish to keep race with surgery. And, still more, hygiene must occupy a more prom inent place in public attention in order to lessen the need for doctors of any kind. A RUSSIAN SCANDAL STORY. The game of "Russian scandal" has worked well in the case of that bequest to Henry George. When it was stated a few dajs ago that the sum of 530,000 which a New Jersey man left to Henry George, to the exclusion of his widow, had all been j spent in litigation, ana the widow was in the poorhouse, those whose memory I wont back a half dozen years to the time j when the bequest was announced to be $7,000, thought that there must have been a remarkable growth m that estate. A statement of the case made by Mr. George's friends shows that the story Las grow n in other respects in the same pro portion. Inasmuch as the story as widely pub lished is calculated to reflect on George, it is no more than justice to give the state ment tin his behalf. The will was that of George Hutchins, and was made with the consent of his wife, who, like himself, was an ardent believer in the single tax theory. It left tw o-thirds of his property to Mr. George and one-third to the wife. When it was found that the estate was only a little over 50,000, Mr. George recog nizing that one-third of that am ant was insufficient to support the widow, pro posed to relinquish the entire trust to Mrs. Hutchins. This w as prevented by other relatives, who disputed the validity of the will and threw the case into the courts. The litigation and other expenses having swallowed up nearly half 'the estate, all of the remainder has gone to the widow ex cept 186, which George has received as trustee, and which he is obliged under the terms of the will to spend m circulating his works; hut all the profits he receives as author from these purchases he proposes to turn over to the widow. The statement made on behalf of Mr. George does not cohere in all respects, but it is far more satisfactory than the story originally circulated. That gentleman has made the impression, even on those who do not accept his theories, of a sin cere and honest man. The corrected state ment is far more in accordance with what is known of his character, and it docs more credit to him than to the legal system which reduces a modest estate by one half if it has the misfortune to get Into the courts. Miss Fleischmait has broken off her engagement with Count; Logothcttl because he refuses to become an American citizen. Her patriotic sacrifice In giving up the man and the title is onlv equaled by his renun ciation of her and her lather's millions. For, of course, his refnsal was based on the opinion that a Count could not possibly fill the position of citizen with ciedlt to this countiy. ' The father who objected to his new-born infant's possess'oti of a sixth toe on each foot and a sixth flngor on each hand ampu tated the abnormal inombers with a pair of scissors and thereby ended a Hie veiy soon after its beginning. lie should have realized that the deformity Mas a blessing in dis guise, since it might have been made a source of profitable museum income. As it is, ho will probably learn that a father is not possessed of the right to practice surgery at his own sweet will, and he will probably wish ho had rattier borne tho ills he had than flown to others that he knew not of. Representatives of law in Somerst county must be strangely optimistic. How they intend to break up the gang of moonshiners Is a mystery, if they release one of them wanted for murder simply on his promise to surrender himself the next day. Tho man actually kept his word, but this trust in honor is a good deal too risky to be wise. ' Me. "Wolcott, of Colorado, devoted him self in tho Senate yesterday to some wide sweeping vituperations against tho killers of the Bland bill. His obj ect seems to liavo been to doom all opponents of free-coinage of sil vor to everlasting peidition, and incident ally to show that his knowledge of literatme extends from Shakespeare to Undo Remus. A San Francisco baseball pitcher was useful at Honolulu for throwing bombs to displace the rebels from the xoyal authori ties. Such piowess should not piss un noticed, and our military authorities should Investigate the power of the new powdcrless projector. The Senate has been the scene of many notable obituary speeches. But it has listened to few or none so forceful and mis guided as Wolcott's eulogy of the departed Bland bill and his indictment of tho men responsible for its demise. That fabulous mat of fiction, whereon those seated could be wafted whither they would, docs not compare with the bodily transportation of houses actoss the Alle gheny nver, which threatens to become a common occurrence. Now that Sir Edward Watkin, aged 72, has matried a lady ten yeais his senior pos sessed of $5,000,000, it maybe expected that the channel tunnel scheme will be pushed with renewed vigor, as he is its leading pio moter. What a merry world it would be if a parallel to the successful breaker-in ot vic ious hordes could be found to take in hand some of the obstieperous Fresidental candi dates! The re-election of President Diaz, of Mexico, by a practically unanimous vote is an indication of the complete contiol ho has of the country rather than of the popular wish. St. Louis has shown a good deal of sound sense by making it3 municipal elections almost entliely dependent on local issues and free from national party influ ence. Rhode Island has passed through the Arc of election and maintains its existence on the map. Whether cleansed by the flames or blackened by the smoko it is haid to say. It really is a sad evil that so insignificant a trifle as the Bering Sea matter should In tel fere with a project of such impoitance as the President's duck hunting excursion. It is understood that the meeting of Al legheny Councils to-night will bo well at tended by the spotting fraternity whoso chief interest is in fistic contests. Ir the Chinese exclusion bill pass the Senate tho seenrity of ojr merchants, mis sionaries and others in tho Celestial Empire will be by no means enviable. Four persons were killed in a railroad wreck in Wisconsin yesteidav. But really these little affairs ate so common as to be unworthy of comment. Mr. Hestry Phipps has rented the ancestral home of the Lvtton family, but there is no prospect that he will descend to literary pursuits. A contribution from the Grand Army to the Russian suffeiers will be an appro priate gift, adding to the piestlge of that organization. As a resnlt of his experience with Mr. Burrows, Speaker Crisp should learn that even in the House courtesy is a valuable commodity. There is every reason to believe that tho greatest flood on record, scheduled for the Allegheny this season, will signally fail to materialize. Allegheny should demonstrate a bet ter capacity for looking after the Fostofflco it has before it can be tiusted with a now building.

George Hodges Delivers His Final Lecture on the Episcopal Church An Cnsectarlan Charity Pretty Weddlne at the Eighth Street Temple Social Gossip. The final, lecture of Rev. George Hodges' course on the Episcopal Church was deliv ered last evening, tho subject being ' The Sacraments of the Church." Among other things Mr. Hodges said: "The word regenera tion comes into tho baptismal office out of tho third chapter of the Gospel of St. John, and out of tho "epistle-which St. Paul n rote to Titus. 'Except a man bo born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into tho kingdom or God.' 'When tho kindness of God our Savior, and His love to waid man appeared not by works dono in llghteousness, which we did did ourselves, bnt according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing of legcn crution and renewing of the Holy Ghost.' These passages may or may not have a di rect bearing upon tho Sacrament of Bap tism. It is sufficient for our present pur pose that they have always been recognized as singularly applicable to this sacrament, nnd that they have given to the cuuich this significant woid, in which tho benefits of baptism appear to be summed up and in cluded. Baptism is always baptism, whether it be administered to a child or an adult, and tho blessing of baptism is indicated by the Episcopal Chuich in tho word regeneration. When wo come, however, to Inquire exactly what l exoneration means, the church re turns no answer. It Is evident, from its uso in Holy Scripture, that it was never in tended to bo tho basis of a doctrinal defini tion. Tho word belongs not to the domain of mathematics, of logic, or scientific the ology, but rather to tho world of poetry, of illustration of the imagination. Tho Mistake or Kicariomus. "We ought to know better than to make the mistake of Xicodemus and try to read it literally. In baptism wo are born again. That Is not a statement in physiology. The higher w e get in tho scalo of truth, tho more wo become aware of the inadequateness of liteial desciiption. It is possible in mathe matics and in physical science to formulate a description, which shall include all the mots, and leave nothing out, so that wo may say 'This is absolutely true, and no other statement differing fiom this can possibly be true at all. But try this method with one of Beethoven's symphonies. It Is plain at once that heie we aie beyond the reach of description. A thousand things may be sala about the beautiful music; a thousand at tempts may bo made to set foith the charm that it has for us, and tho delight that it gives us. nnd yet thore is room for moro. After all is said, the half has not been tola. Xobody can formulate any adequate description of such a piece of music. "We ate conscious of the same incompe tence of language in i eard to all the higher truths. No great pletuto, nor statue, nor book: no git as emotion, no strong feeling, nn supieme Joy nor sorrow can io stated in anv number of formal KentnfieAS. I.nv eludes description. Patriotism knows no lules. These high things aro to be thought about endlessly, with boundless variety in our thinking, w ith no limit to the possibility of new discovmy. Nobody has ever said, nor will ever say, all that can be said about them. Somehow, wn are slow to see that tho gieat truths of leligion aro as incipableof adequate definition as those other n't oat truths. Wo aie all tho time mak ing tho mistake of thinking that l elisions truth is truth of a low order, that it belongs with physics and arithmetic, tint the cieeds and tho sacra ments are like sticks and stones, or like tho stRtemonts of tho multiphcition tablet wheieas, religious truth is or the very high est older and belongs with music and poetiyand ait and patriotism nnd honor' and love, absolutely out of the leach of any accurate description. Vexed Questions Not Yet Sottled. "The 9.000 theologians of the middle ageswete quito suie that the Inquisition was in possession of the whole mind of God. They weio as certain of their definitions In theology as they weio of their definitions in science. After all their instructive blun ders wo are still In seaich of adequate theo logical definition. "The Episcopal Church has avoided this old erroi by the use of tho word 'regenera tion.' For hero is a wide woid, taken out of the language of poetry and capable of innumombic applications. The word 'regeneration' limits nobodv's thinking. It attempts no theolog ical definition. It sets foith no sacramental doctiine. To be baptized is to be born again. What a boundless field is here throw n open lor devout inspiration, for the medita tion of the Chiistian. "I have alieady pointed out in this course of lectures that the Episcopal Church has noauthoritative doctrlnoof the Tiinlty, of the incarnation or ot the atonement. These great truths this chuich docs notattempt to shut up within the' limits or even the wisest human speech. Neither has the Chuich any authoritative doctrine of the sacrament of baptism. Biptism is regener ation, tho Church sas, and the word onens the door wide for everybody's perlectly un icstucted study "This series ol lectures has quite failed of it3 purpose if it has not shown that the Epis copal Church is built like the pattern which St. John saw in the Revelation, four square, lacing tho four corners of the earth, and with their doois ou eery side, and theso dooiswido open so that tlieie is far more dooi than wall. To keep the Chuich from nariowncss, irom pettiness, from lapsing into sectarianism: to preserve its catholicity, its lecognition of the difference between the essential and the non essential, its touch with all the aiying needs of human nntuio, its spiritual sanctity, its religious hospitality, this is what we must do if we would have the Church of the English speak ing people of the past to be the Church or the hugiish speaking people of thefutuie." The Needlework Guild took possession of the lectmo loom or the Thiid Presbyte nan Chuich yesteiday aftoinoon. This is nn organization that has been in existence in Pittsburg just two months, although it has existed- in England since JS36. Its pur pose is to lurnisu clothing to the pooi of nil leligioas denominations nnd to those who do 'not attend any church. It is therefore strictly unsectniian, its only doctrine being chanty. Menandbojs may be membors of tho guild as w ell as women. Those that cannot use the needle and thimble can buy things at stoics and send them in. The guild gl es away men's clothing as well ns that of women and chilJien. The lecture room yesteiday was literally packed with clothing of all kinds Thetoweio hundreds of ladles busy opening and making up bun dles. Packages of clothing w oro sent to the different chautableinstitutionsot the cities, as well as bed clothing, towels and house linen in general.

Last evening the Eighth Street Temple was filled with friends of Miss Birdie Wer theimer and Mr. Abraham L. Rauh, who were joined in muriinge by Dr. L. Mayer. The event has been looked forwaid to with considerable interest for some time, tho couple being prominent in Hcbiew social circles. The church was decoi.atcd with palms aud exotics, and with the large con course of elegantly diesscdpcoplo presented a charming sight. The bride is a beautiful brunette, her particular style of beauty be ing well set off by a white satin gown, en tiainc, handsome biidal veil falling in grace ful folds to the floor, being fastened to the hair by a spiny of orange blossoms. She carried lilies of the valley. The bridemalds weio in white silk and cairicd white roses. The sister of the bride.

A Remarkable Surgical Operation by tho Use or an Endoscope. San Fiuitcisco, April G Speciall One of tho rarest and most delicate surgical opera tions ever performed in the city was that to which A. Baehm, a patient at tho City and County Hospital, was subjected Monaay morning. The operation was a remarkable one, in that an-endoscope, oT small olectrio light, wns used during tho process. This was thrust into tho thoracic cavitv, nnd in the illumination the action of the hem t nnd lungs-was plainly visible. Tins is the first case reported on tho Pacific coast where the electric endoscope was used in difficult surgery with beneficial l esults. I'.irhm w ns really afflicted with an nbcess, which had formed in the pleural cavity and attacked the leit lung, almost completely co'lapslng it. Owing to the presence of pus, tho location of which could not be deter mined. It wns docided to opcrato on Monday for the disease, which is professionally known as hvdro-pneumathorax. Tho oper ation decided noon was au exceedingly dan geiousone, and in order not to shock tho patient no mention ot tho intention of the physicians was mado to him. The sick man was quickly anesthotized and his shirt re moved, exposing tho inflated bieast. A discoloration on tho left bide showed that the trouble lay nnder the tissuo in that dltection, and Dr. Ellinwood began opera tions at onco by making two deep incisions crosswise, fiom which the blood spurted In stieams Tho flaps of flesh were thrown to one side, exposing tho third lib to view. Thisi'b wasiesectod for three, inches, nnd when it was cut awava daik and bloody opening was revealed, through which the thoracic cavity and mediastinum spaco be tween tho lungs could be seen, Dr. Hlrseh feldcr Inserted the endoscope through the opening in Badira's breast, and in another moment the light was turned on. illuminat ing the interior of the cavity w ith remark able distinctness. The heart worked slowly owing to the effect of the ether. The aorta dilated and fell with every heart beat. The lung was alto p'ainly visible. During the one hour and a half consumed in making the opera tion the action of the heart was distinctly visible. When the process wns completed and every vestige of pus removed, the endo scope was withdrawn and the opening in Baehm's breast closed. The operation was a highly successful one in every nartlonlar, and Baehm is gradually gaining strength. HOW TO GET G00O B0AOS. They Can Be Had ir the People Are "Willing to Pay for Them. Portland Oregonian.J Fiom the complaints about the bad roads that have filled the country papers, and from the lcsolutions that have been passed at several grange meetings, it seems evident that our fai mine communities have awak ened to tho necessity of doing something to render the roads passablein winter and re lieve the blockade of travel that continues yearly through the winter season. Good loads cost money, bnt they do not cost nearly so much as bad ones. The paralysis of business that is the inevitable resnlt of muddy loads at the veiy season of the year when the farmer would bo the best able to market his products, wero it possi ble to reach market with a fully loaded wugon, is a great burden upon the prosper ity of the State. The farmer, shut out from the maiket, or compelled to reach it at doable the expense- Incurred at other sea sons, is the prime'loser: but the business men of the countiy towns, the merchants of the city, and artisans and laborers every whcio also share in the loss. It the rural communities have at last icalized this met, and that they lose more by having bad loads than it w ould cost to make good ones, then the flist and most important obstacle in the way of lemedyiug the evil has been taken. If they want good roads they can have them, and unless they do want them badly enough to pav for them thev will never mateiialize. The rural districts dominate the legislature, and It is for their repre sentatives to pass the laws necessary to the seeming of publlo highways that will be such the entile ear louud. The old pick and shovel system must be abolished, and the making of permanent roads, in a sys tematic manner, with foundations of rock aud top dressing of gravel and sand, well drained and solidly rolled, must take its place. The money spent upon the roads under the present system is practically wasted, and no permanent result Is achieved. A collection of load tax in money, with no pergonal service whatever, to bo spent by a county supeiintondent who knows his busi ness and is held responsible for the results, would keep all roads in good repair after they had once been propcily constructed.

American Citizens -of the Hebrew Faith Mast Be Protected In Knssla The Presi dent Asked for Information on Itnssiaa Law Klver Improvements. Washington, April a The joint reso lution agreed npon by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs calling on the President for information as to whether by operation of the Russian laws concerning Hebrews any American citizen of that faith is sub jected to restriction which violate the treaty between the United States and Rus sia was to-day reported to the nouse by Rep resentative Chipman. A leport prepared by Mr. Chipman to accompany tho resolution says that its subject is of great concern to the people of the United States. Every citi zen of the Republic is entitled at homo and abroad to the exact treatment and pro tection which aie the full right of citizen ship nnder tho Constitution and our treaties with foreignpowers. Qui Government can make no distinction based on creeds or birthplaces of Its citi zens; nor can it permit such distinctions to bo made by foreign powers. The peculiar laws and ordinances of the Empire of Rus sia hae created great uneasiness among American citizens of the Hebrew faith. Whatever we may think ot tlieso regula tions as part of tho domestic policy for the government of tho Rnsslan Hebrews, wo can't tolerate their application to any Amer ican citizen nf any religious faith or race. As between Russia and the United States thev are simply inadmissible ir they aro de signed to control the conduct or to define the rights of any of our people who resort to that emplio for the peaceful purposo of commerce or for any other purpose recog nized by civilized nations.

The House Committee on Rivers and Harbors has reconsidered Its former action in providing for the continnation of the im provement under tho contract system of the Ohio river by the construction of a movable dam at tho mouth of tho Beaver river in Pennsylvania and the improvement will bo continued under the direction of the Gov ernment.

In an interesting and instructive article on "The Production of Aluminium," in Ou ster's Magazine, Mr. E. P. Allen ventures the opinion that the new metal will never take the place of iron or steel for general pur poses or utility. Tho cost is now prohibi tive, and Mr. Allen insists thatit will always be prohibitive. Iron, ho says, is reduced from an oxide, as w ell as aluminium; but oxygen has so much stronger nfilnityfor aluminium, than for iron that reduction re quites an infinitely greater expenditure of energy. Energy, alias power, costs money. As to rjnee. aluminium will tako rank with copper, tin and antimony in point of cost of production. It cannot be produced as cheanlv as zinc or lead. The total produc tion in the United States is not grc iter than 1.000 pounds per day; in Europe about 2,000 pounds. Tho grand total of tho world's product is not over 3 400 ponnds per day. Under present conditions it is not possiblo to tell aluminium profitably at a prlco much below 73 cents a pound; bnt Mr. Allen thinks that lower prices will rule with wider markets, larger capital invested in production, and a possible cheapening of cost through the improved proces-1es of separating the metal from the crude ma terial in which it exists. Tho cost of ma terial, laDor and power now necessary to the production of a pound of aluminium is 29 cents, making no allowance for the cost of plant and administration. It will readily bo inferred fiom this that tho uses of alumin ium will lcmnln restricted to the field where its spec'al qualities bring such advantage as to ontwei-jli the gi cater cheapness of other metals.
