run into the spaces as fast as they can be
emptied below, with also an elective
alarm connection, we have a prison wall
which seems TO be absolutely perfect
Incidentally IT may be mentioned mat
the sand filling renders the wall imper'
vious to dampness or heat, and also when
put in partition walls is the best pre-
ycntive of communication by sound from
cell TO cell.
The cast window and door frames are,
built in with the hollow wall as with the
other. Even brick, which alone make
the worst material for a prison wall, may
be used with safety in the construction
of the hollow wall.
An improvement in the lock must be
noticed. The lock is fastened to the
cast.iron door, not by bolts or rivets but
by being slid into a dovetailed groove or
recess, and this protects the criminal
from the fury of the outside mob, which
cannot, with n few blows Of cold chisel
and sledge, remove the lock and open
the door, but must cut through the solid
door, anywhere easier than around the
lock.
The model on exhibition shows tn
cell stilted on hollow cast-iron columns,
which plan, in some cases, may be adj
visable or necessary, as afording more
complete security against any attempt
to escape by cutting through the floor
of the cell. 1t gives the Waterman COM
mand at all times of the open space un-
der the cells, and also allows repairs to
the sewerage and w%atcr-pipes which pass
through the columns, without destroy
ing the floor or foundation of the cell.
Communication between a series of
stilted cells and the main building may
De made by means Of a draw-bridge,
which can be raised and all connection
cut off whenever desired,
An oblique door with perforated jamb
is one of the improvements included in
this system. II is designed to give ven
t~ilation and an opportunity to inspect
the cells, without permitting the occu-
pants to look from one cell into another.
Altogether the method of prison con-
struction which has been developed by
Messrs. Cook & Heath seems to be far in
advance Of the methods heretofore de-
veloped, in security, in healthful arrange.
ment, in economy, and in adaptation not
only to every form of structure designed
for the confinement of persons, but also
TO bank vaults and safe deposits, where
property is to be secured from outside
attacks.
The gratitude Of the public is due to
those who have placed in the hands of
Justice a tool 50 efficient az a prison from
which there is, practically, no escape,
AS a preventive of crime such a prison
il worth more than a thousand sermons.
The county that has a perfect prison will
be given a wide berth by the professional
criminal, and the prospect Of memorable
confinement will offset many a tempta-
ton. The dignity of the law is pre-
served, and the highest respect is &C.
corded to the authority that is able to
enforce, to the utmost, the punishment
it has decreed.
A numberof prisons have already been
built by the inventors of this system,
and its completeness thoroughly tested.
Parties who can appreciate the work
ings Of this prison system will do well to
correspond with Messrs. Cook & Heath,
Memphis, Tennessee.

Artificial Diamonds.

Many pastes have been devised for the
preparation Of these beautiful stones.
None have been able in their products
to equal the natural diamond in hard
ness and brilliancy; but nevertheless, to
and unplactised eve, the imitation is so
perfect that the difference cannot be dis
tinguished. The following formula for
making a diamond paste is said to be one
that gives the most satisfactory result.
II is called "L0ysers" paste:

whose locks where thin and faded, but
who now have presentable head pieces
