Aluminium.
t
S the use of aluminium in piano-plates is
gaining in favor it is interesting to know
that attention has lately been called by an ex-
pert in aluminium-work ing to the great care
required in using fire-clay or iron crucibles in
the operation of melting, the fact being that the
least carelessness or error in judging the right
temperature may turn the best material into a
second-class metal, unfit to be used for certain
purposes. On this account it is advisable to
have the crucible lined with charcoal or a mix-
ture of any indifferent oxide mixed with tar—
such crucibles, properly covered when in use,
keeping several months, and may be employed
without any extra precaution being necessary.
If the melting be carried on in a closed hearth
furnace, care is essential that no pieces of coke
fall into the crucible at the time fresh fuel is
supplied. Again, large quantities of aluminium
are now melted in reverberatory furnaces, and
in these cases also the hearth should be lined
with indifferent oxides, and wood or gas should
be the fuel. The heat of fusion should reach a
dark red only, and, notwithstanding its low
melting-point, aluminium requires much time
and heat for this process, in consequence of its
high specific and latent heat of fusion. While
other slowly-softening metals, like copper or
malleable iron, are very pasty in the molten
state, the contrary is the case with aluminium.
It is also a valuable property of the metal that
it does not need, like other metals, to be heated
far above its melting-point to become fluid.—

The following poetical reference to the chances
of the Republican State ticket from the pen of
Mr. Harvey Wendell, of the Marshall & Wendell
Piano Manufacturing Company, Albany, N. Y.,
appeared in the New York Press last Tuesday :
Two Hundred Thousand ! No Less!
" Make the majority for Morton and Saxton 100,000 !"—
New York Press of September 19, 1894.
1.
You are asking for one hundred thousand,
Pray, why not just ask for two ?
For with names sueh as Morton and Saxton
It is " easy as shooting " to do.
The majority need not be squalid ;
With the people behind them all solid,
And their foes so discouraged and stolid,
Let us make their majority two.
11.
You would bury Democracy deep ;
Well, then, why not bury it deeper ;
Pile two hundred thousand upon it;
In the end it will be far cheaper.
If we don't, by and by we will wonder
That we made such a terrible blunder
With this party of spoils, greed and plunder
As not to have buried it deeper.
in.
Green Mountain State gave us a sample,
And of thousands she gave twenty-eight;
Maine followed her brilliant example,
With nearly two-score thousand, straight.
Republicans now are beginning
To think that this must be their " inning,"
With names so euphopious and winning
As Morton and Saxton and Haight.

musical paper in the world to show the import-
ance of the Canadian music trade industries.
There are portraits of the principal manufact-
urers who have made music trade history in
Canada. A number of historical articles relating
to Quebec and Montreal give a literary tone to
the publication. Edward L,yman Bill, the editor
and publisher, has been making an extended
trip through Canada, and the result of his visit
is seen in the carefully compiled accounts of the
Canadian music trade.—The Daily Telegraphy
