In 1828 aluminum was first seen by human eyes. In a very costly laboratory experiment it was produced in a pure state. It was found to be a wonderful metal, very strong, yet so light that a cubic foot of it weighed less than 160 pounds, while a cubic foot of copper weighs 550 pounds. It retailed in those days for $300 a pound; to-day by the use of electricity the tiny atoms of this material are gathered out and made marketable for thirty-five cents a pound. Electricity has made all this possible; while on the other hand aluminum has greatly aided electricity, ranking next to copper as the most desirable metal in the manufacture of electrical machinery and electrical apparatus. It will be in the future one of the great aids to the housewife. Nearly all of her culinary utensils will be made doubtless of aluminum.
