Teala Ullra It Will Supersede All Other Metals la a contribution to tbe Century Nicola Tesla writes interestingly on the present and future uses of aluminum. Tesla is something of a brilliant theorist in his line, much a? the Frenchman Flammarton is in the line of astronomy. Yft Tesla has accomplished some wonderful things, and his opinions are deserving of attention when he speaks on subjeits connected with electricity. Tesla believes that Just as we have had an age of stone, ' an age of brass, an age of iron and an age of steel not to speak of a golden age the coming century will usher in an age of aluminum. When we consider that it is only seventy years einee this wonderful metal was first discovered and that the aluminum industry is scarcely forty years old, it must certainly be admitted that wonderful progress has boen trade. One conclusion arrived at by Tesla which will be welcomed by electric companies, and will be quite otherwise regarded by those Interested in copper mining, is that the. advance, of the, abuntmim .industry., will result in the annihilation of the copper industry that they cannot exist and prosper together. Even now It is cheaper to convey an electric current through aluminum wires than through copper wires.

CAN FOR BURNING A number of furnace appliances have already been designed to make use of the culm, or waste, always to be seen near large coal breakers, which has hitherto been considered as so much rubbish. In our illustration is shown one 'of the newest-- of these, devices, which has just been patented. It has the advantage of feeding the fuel into the combustion chamber without the employment of a forced draught, as is usual with this class of feeder. At the top of the mechanism is seen tbe hopper, in which the culm is placed, while at the bottom of the hopper is a rotary brush, which serves to powder the culm and deliver it to the feeding brush underneath. The opening, between the brush chambers Is a long, narrow slot, which may be varied in width to regulate the quantity discharged. The lower chamber has an opening Into the combustion chamber, sad it is easy tf see that the rotation atrical folk. It Is.
