WETTING BRIcKs.-It is important that
every one engaged in building should be we'll
informed in regard to the durability of ma
terials. We publish tie following from an
exchange:
Very few people, or even builders, are
aware of the advantage of wetting bricks be-
f,re laying them, or if aware of it, they do
not practice it. A wall twelve inches thick,
built of cool mortar with bricks well soaked,
is stronger than one sixteen inches thick
built dry The reason of this is, that if the
bricks are not well saturated with water, they
" i'll abstract from the mortar the moisture
nece ssary to its crystalization and on the
contrary; they viii unite chemically with the
mortar, an 1 become solid as rock. On the
Other hand, if the bricks are put up dry, they
immediately take up all the moisture from
the mortar, leaving it to dry and hard, and
the consequence is, that when building Of
this description is taken kown or tumbles
down of its own accord, the mortar from it is
like so much sand.

MEAN HEIGHT OF THE ATLANTIC ann p.
CIFIC OCEANS THE SAME.-The Panama Star
says: st.e .o
On the authority of Col. Lloyd and Cant.
Falmar, who, in 1897, by order of Bolivar.
made a series Of levels from Panama to Cha
gres, it has been very generally believed that
there existed difference of mean level be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and
many ingenious theories have been devised to
account for this (supposed) fact and elabo-
rate deductions in favor and against the prac-
ticability of ship canal have been drawn
The difference of the mean height of the
two oceans was stated to be 3.52 feet-the
Pacific at Panama, being that much higher
than the Atlantic at Chagres.
1t has been lately decided by Col. lotion,
after series of careful tidal observations
taken here and in Aspinwal Navy Bay, and
connected by accurate levels along the line of
the Railroad, that the mean height of the two
oceans is exactly the same, although owing
to the difference in the rise of the tide at
both places there are, of course, times when
one of the oceans is higher OF lower than the
other, but. their mean level, that is to saw.
their height at half tide, is now proven to be
exactly the same.
There is no doubt that Col. Lloyd's error
arose from imperfection in his instruments,
and the difficulty he labored under in taking
a large number of observations in which mis-
takes are peculiarly liable to occur.

WHITEWATER, August 10.
A man by the name of Burge, Tor Birge,
residing at Whitewater, attempted to murder
his wife, yesterday, by cutting her throat
He is an old man-some 60 years of age He
and his wife lived with one of his sons. 1t
seems that there had been chickering's between
them for some time past. Yesterday, his son
being absent at GAINESVILLE, the old man came
home at noon found his wife, daughtcr-in-aw
and grand son-a boy of Is or 16 years old
at dinner. He stepped up to his wife, threw
one arm around her and with the other drew
knife and attempted to cut her throat. He
succeeded in cutting two horrible gashes, but
from which she may possibly recover with
proper treatment. In the meantime the
grandson sprang up, seized revolver that
was in the room and fired twice at his grand
father, one charge taking effect in his right
shoulder, inficting wound that will prove
mortal.
We are informed by gentleman, who saw
the old man after the affair, that the latter
said he first conceived of the idea of murder
ing his wife, last week, when absent at De-
troit. He has been addicted to strong drinks,
and was under their influence, we understand,
when he attempted to carry out his fendish
purpose.
