Christmas to You A ll
A lum inum 1« From P ow der
R esem bling C ooking Soda
Aluminum comes from the oxide
alumina—a fine white powder that
resembles cooking soda. Alumina
comprises about 8 per cent of the
earth’s crust. Iron is the next most
abundant and comprises about 5*4
per cent. Alumina is the basis of
all clay, which itself is produced
by the spontaneous decomposition
of granite and similar rocks. In a
free state, alumina occurs in the
form of carborundum and is emery,
the common kind used for polish
ing.
Aluminum and oxygen mixed, to
gether with a little foreign matter
to add coloring, make artificial ru
bies and sapphires. The making of
such compositions was one of the
first uses of aluminum, states a
writer in the Washington Star.
A German scientist, Frederick
Woehler, was the first to extract
aluminum from the earth. De Ville,
a French chemist, was the first to
place the metal on a commercial
scale, having undertaken experi
ments at the request of Napoleon
Hl, emperor of France. Unable to
produce the metal in large quanti
ties, commercial possibilities never
went beyond the use of jewelry.
For a half century chemists in many
parts of Europe struggled to get the
metal in large amounts out of the
most abundant substance—alumina.
This struggle was ended February
10, 1866, through the gpnius of a
chemically minded young Ameri
can, Charles Martin Hall, a student
of Oberlin college.
Hall conceived the idea of using
electricity. He had learned that
alumina could not be electrically
isolated in the presence of water,
and that it would not dissolve in
any common solvent such as alco
hol, ether or benzol.

M etal C ollar O nce U sed

Fancy dog collars, often seen on
the most cherished pets, have a
most interesting history, according
to a writer in the American Kennel
Club Gazette. Collars may be traced
back to the Fifteenth century and
the days when a dog’s life depended
upon a metal collar.
The greatest collection of such
collars may be seen in the Swiss
National museum at Zurich, Switz
erland; but the oldest collar known
to exist is preserved at Basel. The
Basel collar is of the moderately
spiked type used on the watchdogs
chained in the courtyards of the old
castles of the Fifteenth and Six
teenth centuries. It is much less
awesome and elaborate than many
designed for hunting wolves and
bears and for the herder’s dogs
which had to meet all kinds of foes
in their role of protector for the
cattle.
In the days before the modern
rifle, big dogs played a more impor
tant part in hunting. They were
expected to attack the wild boar,
bears, wolves and other animals,
not merely chasing them into the
open. Dogs able to take care of
themselves all have one vulnerable
spot—the throat. And so the collars
were developed as a protection in
close combat with their enemies.
Each type of hunting had its partic
ular type of collar. The style used
for bear was a vicious affair with
heavy spikes, often several inches
long extending from a metal band.
Wolf hunting collars were of broad
brass bands on which was engraved
the name and title of the aristocrat
owning the dog and often hunting
scenes decorated the collars.
Badger Is a Fighter
The courage and fighting ability
of the badger is traditional, and he
is said to be able to easily defeat
any dog less than twice his own
weight. He never cries quits and
never retreats, the final outcome of
the battle always being death to the
badger or the death or retreat of the
dog. The badger’s battle cry is in
itself more than a little startling
even to a man. Savage snarls and
loud, explosive hissings pour from
his mouth in a continuous volley
when he is aroused. Ground squir
rels, gophers, field mice and other
small rodents form most of his food,
and much of it he obtains by dig
ging into the burrows of these small
creatures, who are unable to dig
themselves deeper at a sufficiently
rapid pace to escape.
Charivaris Date Far Back
The origin of charivaris stretches
back to the early Fourteenth cen
tury, so historians say. In those
far distant days, a charivari was
carried out in precisely the same
way, except that it was meant to
express disapproval rather than the
approval it carries today. Chari-
varists went masked in those days,
and harassed people whose mar
riages didn't quite meet the laws of
custom. Second marriages and
marriages of people whose ages
were far apart were the particular
butts of the charivarist.
