The alloy reportedly offers high tensile strength with a specific gravity about 50 percent lighter than aluminum. An accompanying calcium alloy is described with a notable specific gravity of 1.58, expanding potential uses in engineering fields.
A California man has devised a two reel winding device that winds rapidly and remains flat to roll easily. Made from a single wire bent into a loop, one end fits into a wooden handle while the other turns on a handle, winding the shanks between as it spins.
A fragment discusses magnesium aluminum alloys, noting lightness and potential tensile strength advantages. It suggests metal merchants seek viable combinations to improve practical workability and usefulness of the alloy.

A dramatic account recalls the 19th century balloon ascent of Robert F Scanlon, once famed for fearless stunts, who killed a man in midair when a drunken assailant grabbed him during ascent. The incident left Scanlon terrified of balloons and flying machines, haunted by dreams of falling.
Scanlon and a passenger clung to ropes and a trapeze as a gas balloon faltered from a torn rope causing gas to vent. In a final bid for safety Scanlon ordered the passenger to alt the trapeze, the parachute failed, the passenger fell to the ground, and Scanlon cut the rope to save himself. He was later acquitted of murder in the ensuing trial.
