MUNICIPAL REGISTER. DEPARTMENT OF BRIDGES. New Terilunal Extension of BrooHlya iiriage. A delay in determining plan for terminal extension at terminus in Manhattan has been necessary as the plans are under consideration by the Board of Rapid Transit Commissioners and their engineers. The law passed a few years ago authorizing the work to be done to relieve the crush at thu bridge made any places for an elevated extension or for an underground extension likpl to interfere with the subway work now in progress subject to the approval of the Rapid Transit Commission.

The said law, while authorizing the Commissioner of Bridges to contract with railroad companies now operating or which may be authorized to onerate cars on said bridge for the fur o.n tii no pnn raris road will be valid unless the same is also approved by the rapid transit commission. Pending punis tor made for the possible application ot the Manhattan surface roads to enter upon the bridge or make connections with the rail roads now thereon. In fact the report of the engineers appears to regard such additions to bridge railroad use or such con nections as at present impracticable, The act passed last session permuting the Commissioners to estimate an ap praisemcnt on the proceedings to acquire lands tor the new extension and approaches to make separate reports tot lias been acted upon will progress of the work. greatly aid the M0NTAUK CLUB PROSPERS. Annual Report of the Finance Commit tee Shows a Gain in Every Direction.

The finance committee of the Mouiauk Club ing total of 441 members. The resident iemhershin has received a handsome adfll ion in numbers during the month of May. Tb nts 0f the club are stated to be $262. leaving a surplus of assets 01 i o.w Regarding the recent prosperity of the club the report says: The club bus during the past year done a. business which in proportion to the membership cannot 'be excelled by any club In the Bercugh of Brooklyn.

This is shown in th increased cash receipts and in the consequent reduction effected in the deficit of the last, fiscal year. The house committee contributed to this reduction by their careful supervision of expenses; and deserve the. thanks of tho membership for the time they have ehcerfullv given to bring about this ratifying result, whereby the deficit 01 JS.7PS.C1 for lf'01 is changed into one of only $1,047.72. Could this report have been delayed two months longer, your committee believes that a surplus would have been shown; for the increase of business dates only from December last and still continuee. The removal from the borouuh of our longtime and esteemed president, Charles A.

Moore, necessitated the election of a successor. Whether it was the election of Mr. Troy, or the interest excited by the choice, or the spontaneous determination of the members to make successful the new administration, your committee Is unable decide. They are content with the simple announcement of the fact, that soon after the election great Interest was developed in every department and an increase of busi ness was speedily apparent. The faces of members not often seen in the club soon grew familiar to the regular attendants.

Your committee is not inclined to tniok that lur 'old and new members is the largest, factor. i. 1 I thic: ciipinc fi a een or Certain it is ir.at this spring nas seen larger addition of desirable members than any similar period in the history of the The finance committee consists of C.

There are several hundred of such, and they assembled in the meeting room of the Masonic Veterans in the basement of Aurora Grata Cathedral, and were entertained by laudatory addresses under the direction of W.

Irving Comes, the President ot the Association. He preceded his remarks by the reading of President Lincoln's famous Gettysburg address. The other speakers were General Horatio C. King, who gave some humorous and interesting stories of the war; and Past Department Commander Kay. of the Grand Republic of the State of New York, who told of the noble work of the soldier in time of war, and his faithfulness in time of peace.

The closing speaker was the Rev. W. W. Bowdish. who spoke at length of the services of Abraham Lincoln, General Grant and the common soldier and sailor of the civil war.

His address was made more interesting by hi3 story of the services rendered by his brothers, both of whom were' active in the Northern army. The meeting closed with an old fashioned dinner of hard tack, beans and coffee, furnished on tin plates which the guests were allowed to take home as mementoes. An interesting fact is that three members of the association, Venerable Brothers Cowtan, Dubey and Kay are respectively Past Senior Vice Commander. Past Junior Vice Commander and Past Commander of the Grand Army of the State of New York. They are also members of Post Winchester and were in the same regiment.

Interment In Holy Cross Cemetery. Professor William H. Goodyear's lecture at the Museum. Eastern Parkway, on Saturday afteruuoon not only closed his series of seven on the architectural refinements of medieval Italian churches, but was the last of the Brooklyn Institute lectures for the season. It continued as a special topic the subject of perspective illusions and was prefaced by general remarks on the entire subject.

Professor Goodyear said that the observations of the Brooklyn Institute Surveys would ultimately involve the remeas urement of most of the medieval cathedrals and churches of Europe. The examination of the general subject of medieval architectural refinements has reached a point where it is as important to know what buildings do not exhibit them as it is to know the buildings in which they arc found. Until this is done the subject cannot be systematized or thoroughly understood. For Italy this task has already been fairly accomplished, but the total expenditure in volvedjias been not less than SiOOO.OU. me expense of thorough publication of the Italian surveys has still to be met.

For Northern Europe the expense of thorough examination, of surveys, and of publication will bo correspondingly heavy. The lecturer went on to explain that, up to date, the plans of medieval buildings had been almost universally made on the presumptiion that one measurement of any particular feature was sufficient. For example, it has been assumed that the measurement of one bay, of one aisle, or of any one dimension, would imply an equality of measurements for the same features throughout the building. Thus we have knowledge of an architect in Boston who has personally confessed to having surveyed the church of Santa Maria Novella, at Florence, as having regular measurements throughout, whereas the bays really diminish thirteen feet in the direction of the choir. The French architect Reynaud.

has also published this church with a perfectly regular plan. The English architect, Street, mentions the nave of St. Stefano at Venice as being 40 feet wide, whereas it is 40 feet wide at the choir and 50 feet wide at the entrance. Even in instances where plans have been originally published as irregular, they have been subsequently "corrected," i. straightened, or reduced tq regularity of dimension, in the subsequent publications of other experts, where the size of the plan has been changed or diminished.

This has been done on the principal that the building ought to have been regular. Therefore, the plan of it has been made so. in spite of itself. A large number of such Instances can be cited. Another point is that architectural publications, up to date, have almost uniformly omitted to give measurementts of arches and bays in elevation; that is.

as regards the height. It now appears that such measurements are not only necessary, but that they must be taken individually in a large number of cases. "In conclusioin," said Prof. Goodyear, "we qan simply reiterate the statement that most of the work which has been done in Europe in surveying medieval buildings will have to be done over again." How messages are sent by electricity was described In lecture and experiment, or practical demonstration, by Professor John S. McKay in the last ot his Museum lectures for this season on Saturday afternoon.

While thoroughly scientific his explanation was simple enough for all present to understand. The electric telephone, telegraph and wireless telegraphy were explained by means of the usual apparatus, all the necessary portions being on the table, thus affording opportunity inspection after the lecture, such as one does not often have. Of course, the telephone and telegraph were "short lines," but every detail was shown by the working models as it would be in the commercial lines. la presentation of the telephone, Pro Sfessor McKay said that when sound is pro educed in the open air it is transmitted in all directions by air waves. As these spherical waves proceed from the origin, their surface increases as the siuare the distance from othe' cent en, and so It happens that the in tensity of the sound decreases very rapidly and the sound soon becomes inaudible.

Va rious means of increasing and maintaining C.the intensity of the 3ound are used, such as the megaphone, acoustic tube3 and the (. string telephone, but even with these devices the d'stancc to which ordinary sound will travel is limited. By the electric telephone the energy of sound waves may he converted into electric currents which travel along the wire to a great distance and are then reconverted Into air waves analagous to those which produced the currents. In the simplest form the transmitter and the receiver are alike a steel bar magnet surrounded by a coll of wire, and in front of the magnet a thin disk of iron capable of being set in vibration by sound waves. The coils of wire form a part of the electric circuit connecting tho two instruments and the vibrations ot the iron disk in the.

produce a variable magnetic flux through. the coll surrounding the ends of the magnet, thus producing alternating electric currents in the telephone circuit. These currents, pasting through the coil of the receiver, cause variations of Its magnetic field which cause the disk to vibrate, producing sound waves analagous to those of the original sound. Thus the transmitter is a sort of electric generator which con verts the energy of sound waves into electric currents which pass along the circuit to the receiver. This instrument may be compared to the electric motor, receiving the currents and reconverting them into.

air waves. The electric telegraph depends upon the principle that making and breaking the circuit at on end of the line will magnetize and demagnetize an electro magnet at the ether end. The signals are made by an electro magnet which may produce sounds by the motion of its armature, make a series of dots and dashes on a moving strip of paper, or deflect the index of a sensitive galvanometer. Methods of sending long distance messages and of the sending of messages in the same or opposite directions at the same time were the occasion of very interesting demonstrations. In wireless telegraphy it.

was shown that the electric current's energy is not in toe conductor, but in the insulating medium outside of it. It is believed to consist of ether streams, or vortex rings of ether surrounding the wire. When a current is started in circuit there is, therefore, a pulse or wave 9f ether traveling along the wire with the speed of light, the conducting wire serving to direct the wave to any desired point. Thus no metallic circuit is required and free electro magnetic waves produced travel forth in all directions, or take the path of least resistance through the air, over the surface of the sea, or through the earth since ether pervades all bodies and fills all space. With suitable Instruments these free ether waves may be picked up anywhere within a given radius, the distance depending upon the intensity of the waves.

Here followed the description of the instruments required the transmitter and receiver, the Inner being different in different systems, but in all it is some sort of a device by which the energy of the ether waves coming from a distant oscillator, is made to close the circuit of a local battery and thus produce sisnals as in the ordinary Morse telegraphy. In the Marconi system this Is accomplished by what is called the coherer and de coherer. The first consists of a glass tube containing a few metallic filings between the ends of two conducting wires leading from the end of the tube. This is placed in a series with a local battery and tho ordinary telegraph or telephone receivers. The opposite ends of the coherer are also connected to vertical wires.

The electric resistance of the metal filings is so great that no current from the local battery will pass until electric waves from the distant oscillator strike the vertical wires, producing electric surgings up and down the wires and through the coherer, thus causing the filings to cohere and forming a bridge for the current of the local battery producing the desired signal In the receiving instruments. When the bridge is once mf.de the current of the local battery will continue to flow until the tube is struck and the filings Jostled apart by the hammer of the de coherer, which is moved bv an electro magnet magnetized by the current passing through the coherer. Thus, with every pulse of ether waves coming from the distant oscillator the circuit of the local battery is closed, a current starts, the signal made, then th circuit automatically broken until tho next train of waves strikes the vertical wires of the coherer. In this way the Morse alphabet can be produced and "words and sentences spelled out. Revolution.

Joseph. After (lowers had been placed at the base of the statue, and a wreath had been put upon it, the post and tho spectators went to the music stand where the more formal services of the day were held. They were headed by the baud of Devin Post, A. H. Johnson leader.

Commander Theodore A. Joseph, called the assembly to order, and after an eloquent prayer by the Rev. W. T. Dixon, pastor of the Concord Baptist church, the conduct of the services was given over to Park Commissioner Richard Young.

Commissioner Voting, in assumiug charge spoke of the wonderful growth of the country since the heroism of the men before him, aud their comrades who had fought, and many of them died that it might be nosr.ible. He said that, through their faith and works it had been made possible that a black man could prove his equality before God. and speak as eloquently as Pastor Dixon had done. Since that time the map of the country he said, had been changed, aud Republic of Cuba had been born. He claimed that the American soldier had shown himself the ablest and most honorable of soldiers of the world, and that notwithstanding the carping criticism of public He thought this no time for such criticism.

He paid a tribute to Lincoln, as an example to rulers the world over. In a laudatory strain he introduced the orator of the day, James H. Melnnes, vice president of the Board' of Aldermen, whom he said, was worthy to fill any position in the gift of the people. Alderman Melnnes spoke at length and earnestly. His oration was dignified and full of brilliant passages which provoked frequent and prolonged applause.

He spoke in substance as follows: "The first thought that came to r. was that I should speak to the army of the living and tell them of the heroic deeds of the army of the honored dead. To say to the army of the living that if we are" true to the principles upon which our republic is founded principles for which the American soldier and sailor was willing to fight for and to die for that, we might possess those essential qualities of courage and bravery which 111a ill possible their every victory. And I say to yu'u now that moral courage is oftentimes greater than physical bravery displayed under bullet and shell. "To say to the army of the living that in 1 the battle of life wo shall have as many opportunities for the display of these great 1 qualities as ever came to the men who wore the blue in th.e greatest conflict that the world ha.s ever known: a conflict not for conquest, but for right; a conflict not for glory, but for honor; a conflict not for the personal aggrandizement of an emperor, a king or a prince, willing to sacrifice the lifc hlnort of his nation to win throiv.

hnr conflict to make men free and koeu thorn free. "What a wonderful army that was: Boys left their mother.3' knee to beat the drum to make that wild, that captivating music of the fife; the farmer left the plow in the upturned field; the schoolmaster exchanged the school bag for the knapsack; the blacksmith gave up the anvil for the cannon; the preacher gave up the pulpit to fight as he prayed, and to pray as he fought; and all marched to that inspiring cry of 'We're coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand strong." (Applause.) That army of the boys in blue enterc i into 'he battle, singing as they marched: Mine yci? have scon ths glory of tiie coming of the Lord, His truth' is rnarchlns on. "That wonderful army, without a parallel in history, led this nation out of the darkness of war and of death, into the marvelous light of peace and life, and I would rather have been a soldier In that army than to have been the first man to place the Hag of Napoleon on the topmost peak of the tallest mountain" uf the majestic Alps. An army whose victories decided that these United States sboul.d be one and inseparable forever. I see before tne to day many young girls, budding into womanhood I hope not the fo callcd new womanhood but that splendid type of womanhood of the American Revolution and the War of the Rebellion, and no one can measure their influence for good in those In this connection I want to say to these girls aud young women that there never was performed on any field of battle an act of heroism that was not inspired by either the girl that was left behind or the mother who stood by the open gate mid gave her country her only son.

MORE ALUMINUM BEING USED.

America's Commanding Position in the Iron and Steel Trade of the World. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 2 Among the new industries that have been recently developed in the United States is the manufacture of arsenious oxide, says Dr. Joseph Struthers in "Mineral Resources of the United States. 1S01," now in press, United States Geological Survey, David T.

Day, chief of division. This manufacture was taken up during 1901 by the Puget Sound Reduction Company, at Seattle, and an output of 300 short tons was placed on the market. Previous to 1901 the world's supply of arsenic and arsenious compounds was derived chiefly from the mines in Cornwall and Devon, England, and Freiberg. Germany. In 1899 the world's production of the forms of arsenic amounted to 14,936,165 pounds, valued at $581,911.

The imports of arsenic into the United States during the last five years have averaged about $340,000 per annum, which seems to show that the exploitation and of arsenic and it compounds in this country could be profitably developed. The production of aluminum in the United States during 1901 amounted to 7,150,000 pounds. The Pittsburg Reduction Com Aluminum. Pany, operating the Hall patents, remains the sole producer of aluminum in this country. The price of aluminum per pouml.

remained practically stationary throughout the year, although the demand for the metal increased. The total imports of all forms of aluminum in 1901 were valued at $109,748, as compared with $50,444 in 1900. Georgia produced the bulk of the domestic bauxite in 1901, the remainder being supplied by Alabama and Arkansas. The total production was 18,905 long tons, valued at Bauxite. $79,914, as compared with 23,184 tons, valued at $59,676 in 1900.

Bauxite is used mainly for the manufacture of aluminum, although a considerable quantity is used for the manufacture of aluminum sulphate and crystalized alum. The Pittsburg Reduction Company is installing a large plant at Bauxite, Saline County, Arkansas, which promises to increase largely the output from Arkansas in 1903. The imports of bauxite In the United States during 1901 amounted to the exports were valued at and the consumption seems to have been 39,658 long tons, valued at $151,262. The imports in 1901 were 18,313 long tons as compared with 8,656 tons for the preceding year, an increase due mainly, to the low. ocean freigilt rate which caused bauxi.te to be livered.

duty included, from tne soutn oi France to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, at a lower rate per ton than it cost to ship it from Georgia or Alabama to Philadelphia. The principal commercial salts of aluminum are aluminum sulphate and crystalized alum, for the manufacture of which bauxite and Greenland cryolite are used. The Pennsylvania Salt Company possesses the exclusive privilege of importing cryolite into North and South America. In 1901 the production of aluminum sulphate was 74,721 short tons, and that of crystalized alum was 7,755 tons. The occurrence and production of titanium ores is discussed with special reference to the recent discovery ot large deposits of Titanium.

rutile in Virginia, which has brought to the attention of the ceramic and the steel industries the commercial possibilities of this ore of titanium. Hitherto, owing to the small amount that has been available, and to the impure state in which it is found, rutile has been but little used in this country, the few hundred pounds produced going largely to collectors of minerals and to the manufacturers of artificial teeth, who use the pure oxide as a pigment in reproducing in porcelain the natural yellow color of the tooth, notwithstanding the recognized value of titanium as a component of a special steel, and notwithstanding the use of the oxide for many years past by foreign manufacturers of pottery. Minerals containing titanium are found widely distributed and in such large quantities as to make it a relatively abundant element, though nearly all the text books on chemistry speak of titan ium as one of the rare metals. In some places, particularly in the Adirondacks, titanifcrous iron ores are found in enormous quantities, making one of the principal components of the great rock masses which form mountains and constitute a geological formation. Ilmenite is the most abundant of all the titanium minerals, and is found in beds of great extent in Kragero, in Norway, Bay St.

Paul in Canada, and in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont, in the United States. ButUe is generally found wherever large deposits in ilmenite occur, and beside the localities mentioned for ilmenite. it is found in notable quantities at Graves Georgia; Magnet 'Cove, Arkansas, and on both sides'of the Tye River, near Rose land postofnee, in Nelson Couniy. Virgiuia, where the deposit is very large. Under favorable conditions titanium oxide Imparts to porcelain a fine yellow color.

It is capable of being used with other substances to produce secondary colors, and it will withstand, without difficulty, the heat of tho kiln, although at very high temperatures it increases the fusibility of the porcelain scmewhat, acting as a flux. With regard to steel, the experimental work, so far as tried, seems to show that the addition of titanium gives the steel a high limit, of elasticity mid a greater elongation as well as an increased ductility over simple carbon steel; and as titanium steel takes a good temper and is very hard, a number of possible uses suggest themselves for it, dependent only on the economical preparation of some titanium alloy, the commerclpl production of which seems not to be an easy matter. In lOOn the production of rutilc in the United Statt amounted to 300 pounds, valued at and the production of Norway amounted to 57.485 pounds, valued at $5,643. The produc tion of the Virginia rutile deposits beginning in 1900 have amounted, up to date, to about 40,000 pounds, making an estimated output of rutilo in the United States for the year of 1901 of about 44.000 pounds. The commanding position of the United States in the production and manufacture of iron and steel is illustrated by some figures published in the London Commer Iron and Steel.

cial Intelligence, a copy of which has just reached the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. The world's total product of pig Iron in 1901. it says, amounted to 40,408,000 tons, of which the United States contributed 15,878,000 tons; the United Kingdom, 7,750,000 tons; Germany. 7,663.000 tons; Russia, 3. 100,000 tons; France, 2.362,000 tons, and' the remainder of the world, 3.655,000 tons.

Com paring the product of 1901 with that of the annual average for the five year period. 1866 70, it will be seen that the United States has increased its iron steel output far more rapidly than any other nation, the figures being: United States, from 1,464,000 tons to 15,878,000 tons, an increase of 985 per united iungaom, trom 0.133,000 tons to 7, 750,000 tons, an increase 51 per Germany, from 1,226.000 tons to 7.663,000 tons, an increase of 525 per and' the entire world, exclusive of the countries men tioned, from 2.710,000 tons to 9,117.000 tons. an increase of 236 per cent. An even more noticeable feature of this growth pointed out by the authority from which these figures are quoted is the steady and enormous growth of the proportion of the world's product supplied by the United States and the equally rapid decadence in the position held by Great Britain. Thirty five years ago the United Kingdom produced practically one half of the world's pig iron, while the United States produced less than one seventh of the total; whereas, in 1901.

the United States stood first in its proportion of the total, contributing practically four tenths, as against less than two tenths by the United kingdom, and about the same share by Germany. In the five year period. 1866 70, the world's per capita consumption of pig on was 17 pounds; in 1901, it was 57 pounds; v.Lilo in thf latter year the I'nited Stares consumed 455 pounds per capita and the United Kingdom 350 pounds per capita. The effect of this remarkable increase in the production of Iron in the United States has been strongly marked in its relation to our foreign commcrrc Imports of iron and steel manufactures in 1SS2 amounted to $67. 976, S97 and formed 9.3 per cent, of the total imports: in 1901 they had fallen to $17,874.

7S9 and formed but 2.2 per cent, of the total Imports. On the other hand, our exports of iron and steel manufactures have srrown during, the same time from $20,748,206. in 1882, to' in 1901. formed, in 1882, about 3 per cent, of the total exports and 15 per cent, of the manufactures exported; while in 1901 thpy formed 8 per cent, of the total exports and 2S per cent, of 'the manufactures exported.
