Valuable New Metal.

A new invention, called conducting aluminum, which is said to be creating a profound impression, has been made by Dr. George Giulini, the most famous expert in the aluminum trade, states Consul Philip Holland, Basel, Switzerland, in a recent report. This new metal Is produced by putting the ordinary aluminum through a special patented process, by which it acquires the same mechanical qualities and capacities as bronze, copper brass without changing Its specMU weight It Is said that the price of the new metal can be kept wlthth very low limits, so that.even at the pre-war prices of other metals. It will be able, by reason of its smaller specific weight, to compete with copper and brass very favorably. The fact that the new metal Is a conductor will make it especially In demand in the electrical trade.
