The Uses of Aluminum.
When we consider tbe excellent qualities
possessed by this metal, its color, brightness,
unohangeablenoss in air, and in sulphuretted
hydrogen, that it is not injurious to the health
and can be worked in any shape, it aeems re
markable that it has found so little use, and
that the great hopes which greeted its prepara
tion according to Seville's process are so far
from being fulfilled. The price of aluminum
would be considerably less tf it were made in
large quantities, as it depends on tbe price of
sodium, the manufacture of which could also
be conducted more cheaply if there were a
certain and large demand for it. The advan
tages of vessels made of aluminum are not so
evident and conspicuous as to be able to easily
overcome old habits.
At the London exhibition of 1862, numerous
articles of aluminum were exhibited; the Paris
exhibition of 1868, and the Vienna exhibition
of 1873 showed that the interest in this "silver
from clay " had died out.
Aluminum made by Deville's process was
used at first as ornaments and other articles of
luxury. On account of its brightness the tubes
of opera and spy glasses were made of it. In
physical apparatus and all fine instruments
where weight is an objection aluminum replaces
other metals with advantage. Saber sheaths
and dagger handles have been made of it. The
eagles on the flagstaff's of the Frenoh army are
about (our and a half pounds lighter since
they have been made of aluminum. As tbe
metal can be drawn out to the finest wire, it
has been used for embroidery, lace, fringe and
other decorations. They have some advan
tages over the same articles when made of
Bilver, being lighter and they do not tarnish.
Nevertheless the use of aluminum has, as we
have said, greatly diminished. Aluminum jew
elry is scarcely seen at thepresentday. Opticians
still use it for spy glasses and the like. Itecently
it has been much employed for surgical instru
ments. In the atelitr of O. Schmidt, in Berlin,
a considerable quantity is consumed In the
manufacture of splints.
Although there is no mistaking tbe fact that
the hiRh expectations with which the appear
ance of aluminum filled the publio mind have
not been fulfilled, yet the aluminum industry
has a safe guarantee of its existenoe in the use
of the metal for aluminum alloys, which are
capable of the most extensive use on account
of their excellent qualities.
Aluminum will alloy directly with
most
metals, generally with strong beat, which may
increase up to the glowing point. Small quan-1 A(rica wereBtb5 exoloration of the Victoria

Geographical Progress in 1875.
In his late annual address, in New York,
before tbe American Geographical Society,
Chief Justice Daly presented a comprehensive
statement of the "Explorations, discoveries
and geographical work of the world in 1875"
of which the following is a brief summary:
The year has been distinguished by activity
in every branch of scientific enquiry, but par
ticularly in geographical exploration and dis
covery. No single year's work sinoe the 15th
century has exceeded it in interest.
In the United States the work of exploration
has been confined largely to the coast survey,
in which the work of Mr. Wm. H. Dall, on tbe
northwestern const, eccupies a decided promi
nence. Lieut. Wheeler's explorations in Colo
rado and New Mexico have also been import
ant and exceedingly interesting. The ruins of
ancient villages in those regions show that that
region was once as densely populated as the
Eastern or Middle States now are tbe number
of buildings to the square mile being equal if
not creater. Some of the ruins in New Mexico
were fortified structures having as many as 500
rooms eacn I xue rums ui iuwqb were louna
rrgularly laid out in streets and squares.
Many important mineral developments have
resulted from the explorations in Colorado.
Tbe important Arctio event of the year has
been the dispatch of an expedition of the Brit
ish government undor the command of Capt.
Nares. Several other expeditions have also
been sent out in the same direction by the
Swedish and Russian governments.
Much has also been done during the year in
Asia. Tbe explorations in Northern Asia have
induced the Russian government to decide
definitely upon the construction of a rail
road through that region to the shores of the
Pncifio. Important explorations have also been
pushed in India, during which a male and fe
male specimen of a dwarfish race have been
captured, who are of a race of which no trace
had ever before been found.
The man was four feet six inches high and
26 inches about the chest. He had a round
head, with coarse, black, wooly hair and dark
brown skin. The lower part of his face pro
jected like a monkey, with thick lips protrud
ing an inch beyond bis nose. He had a com
paratively long body, with short, bandy legs.
He had a grayish, bristly mustache, but no
beard. The woman was well developed and
about the same Bize. She had a yellow tint,
with long, straight, block hair and a pleasant
expression. They were dressed in loose cloths,
and though they ate flesh, they lived principally
upon honey and nuts.

titles ot other metals affect the properties of
aluminum, while, contrawise, small quantities
of aluminum change the properties of other
metais.
The alloy of aluminum with copper, alumi
num bronze, is of the greatest importance in
the arts. According to Tissien, as little as one
per cent, of aluminum, added to pure copper,
considerably increases its ductility, making it
more fusible, and gives it the property of com
pletely filling tbe mold, making a dense casting,
free from air bubbles. At the same time the
copper becomeslmore capable of resisting cheni
ioal reagents, increases in hardness without
losing malleability, and unites in itself the
most valuable qualities of bronze and brass.
The color of the alloy is almost a oopper red.

The true aluminum bronzes, namely alloys
of 90 to 05 per oant. copper with 10 to five per
cent, aluminum were first made (says It. Wag
ner) by John Percy, in 1855. They beoame
generally known through the researches of
Deville.
For the preparation of this alloy, perfeotly
pure copper must be employed. If to a quan
tity of melted copper there be added one-ninth
its weight of aluminum, the two metals unite
energetically, with tbe evolution of so much
heat that the ornoible, if it be not exceedingly
refractory, softens and sinks together. The
bronze obtained is at first very brittle, but by
frequent resmelting increases in strength and
duotility; the right degree is determined by
hammeiing out a piece after each fusion. As
a rulo, two or three refusions suffice. Probably
the amount of aluminum sinks somewhat below
the original 10 per oent. Aluminum bronze
with fivo or 10 per cent, aluminum possesses a
color very like that of gold. The alloy with
10 per cent, has the color of green gold, an al
loy of gold and silver. The alloys polish beau
tifully, make perfeot castings, and possesses
great strength; acoordiug to Anderson's experi
ments, an average of 75,018 pounds per
square inch. Thoy are also very flexible, and,
at temperatures from a dark red heat to near
the melting point, perfeotly malleable The
castings are perfectly sharp, and can be worked
more easily than steel. This bronze engraves
nioely, is easily rolled into sheets, and offers
greater resistance to the air than other bronzo,
rass, silver, cast iron, and steel.
These excellent qualities give it a number of
uses. In the oonstrnotion of physical, geodlo
and astronomical instruments, it is far prefer
able to all other metals. Iu jewelry and articles
of art and luxury, it is employed in large quan
tities. Many kinds of house utensils are made
of it, and it is also adapted to journal axle
boxes. Qun and pistol barrels, a swell as rifled
cannon, have boeu made of it, and have done
excellent service. At present the high price of
aluminum bronze alone prevents its general use
for arms. Morln (who has probably gone out
of the business now) furnished those bronzes at
the following rates: IU per cent, aluminum,
$6,60 per pound; 7V. per cent, aluminum.
$5,50 per pound; 5 per otut. aluminum, $1.40
per pouna.
These prices aro four or five times as much
as tin brouze. In articles where tbe price of
the raw material is of little oonsequenoe as
oompared to the value of the work, as in phys
ical instruments and the like, tbe aluminum
bronze is always to be preferred. Iron and

The New Almaden Mines.
Fromthe Scientific Fress.J
The quicksilver mines and reduction works
of New Almaden are 15 miles south of the city
of San. Jose, Santa Clara connty, California,
in tbe Santa Cruz mountains, at an elevation
of 1,700 feet above the sea.
These mines were first worked for quloksilver
in 1815, bat the operations were on a small
scale, and no record exists earlier than 1850.
They have been, and are now, tbe most produc
tive quicksilver mineB in the world, exoepting
only tbe mines of Almaden in Spain. Tbey
are developed to a depth of 1,300 feet, and the
workings extend horizontally, somewhat in the
shape of the letter Y,
Between 500 and 600 men find steady employ
mentthe work being actively prosecuted
throughout the year. From the 1st of January,
1861, to the 31st of December, 1875, the num
ber of feet of drifting and sinking on the mines
of the company, as shown by the records,
amounted to 129,721 feet, or 26.21 miles, at a
cokt of $1,000,000. This does not include the
excavations made in extracting ore during the
period named, nor any expense for tbe same.
In 1875 there were used in the mines 2.3G1
kegs of black powder (25 pounds each), and
9,350 pounds of giant and hercules powder
the rock in most cases requiring to be drilled
and blasted. At tbe clone of the same year,
about five miles of railroad, underground, were
in operation, and over 2,000 drills were in
aotive use.
The reduction works consist of nine furnaces,
and include the most improved methods for
working quicksilver ores. When the present
improvements aro finished, they may be con
sidered as most complete and perfect in every
respect.
The total product of all the mines on the
company's property up to December, 1875, was
GU6.453 flaskB of quicksilver, of 7G pounds
oach, or 16,393 651 pounds. The average
percentage of the ore of the New Almaden for
23 years and 3 months is 11.58. Tbe highest
percentage for any year was in 1850-51, when
it averaged 36,71 per cent.; tbe lowest was in
1871, when it was 1.29 per cent. The mines
are now in a prosperous oondition.
A Nkw Soubck of Poweb. M. G, Hunrian,
ot Meaux, Franco, has proposed a new source
of power, obtainable iu localities wherever an
absorbeut strata can be found underlying an
upper strata, whioh holds tbe water near the
surface. In such localities Mr. Hanrian sinks
a well of .large diameter down to the water
bearing strata, and from tbe bottom of that
sinks another smaller well down and into the
absorbent strata. The lower well is ourbed up
from four to six feet or more, so that when the
water in the upper well rises above the aurb,
it overflows into the lower well and from th6nce
S asses off Into the absorbent strata. By this
evice there will always be a depth of water
in the upper well equal to the hlght of the curb
ing of the lower one. The wells being thus ar
ranged, a ohain pump is plaoed in the lower
well with the upper end of the chain passing
ovor a pulley just above the top of the main or
larger well, and so arranged that all the water
that passes down must act upon the buckets
connected with the chain. With this arrange
ment it is seen that when the water from the
upper overflows into the lower well, the weight
of the water will drive the pulley plaoed above
the large well. Now, if another chain pump Is
properly placed in the upper well, and passed
over a jmlUy on the same shaft on which the
pulley already described is plaoed, it is evident
that tbe column of water descending from
tbe upper through the lower well into the ab
sorbent strata can be made to raise another
oolumn of water of equal weight from the upper
well to the surface. Thus a well so Biluated
and arranged can be made to pump itself and
we have a new source of power which may be
utilized aa above indioated.
Nkw Txxjctiaipu Invention, A new key is
being put into the telegraph offices on the
Pennsylvania railroad. This is anew invention,
by which 'a dozen or more wires can be sounded
with one key. Mr. Hoasey. the inventor, it
building a factory for the manufacture of the
instruments.

The principal portion of the patent business of
this coast has been done, and is still bning
done, through our agenoy. We are familiar
with, and have fall records, of all former
oases, and can more direotly judge of the
and patentability of inventions discovered

able to save our patrons the oost of a fruitless
application by pointing them to the same
thing already covered By a patent. We are
always free to advise applioanta of any
knowledge we have of previous applicants
which will interfere with their obtaining a
uttiout.
We invite the acquaintance of all parties con-

legitimate business and professional men is
mntual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to
their rights as assignees of patents, or pur
chasers of patented articles, can often receive
advise of importance to them from a short
call at our office.
Remittances of money, made by individual in
ventors to the Government, sometimes mis
carry, and it has repeatedly happened that
applicants have not only lost their money
but their inventions also, from this cause and
consequent delay. We hold ourselves re
sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency
Engravings.
We have superior artists in our own offioe, and
all facilities for producing fine arid satisfac
tory illustrations of inventions and machinery,
for newspaper, book, circular and other
printed illustrations, and are always ready to
assist patrons in bringing their valuable jis
ooveries into practical and profitable use.
