Until very recently it was held by
most engineers and architects that the
solidiication of mortar took place in
consequence of the absorption of car
bonic acid gas by the line during the
process of capitalization, but it has
been fairly objected to this theory that
the quantity of carbonic acid gas con-
tanned in the atmosphere which could
be brought into contact with large
body of cement would not suffice to sat-
urate the latter. The generally re-
ceived opinion on the subject now is
that lines harden simply in consequence
of the combination with water which
takes place during the slackening, and
that the rapidity Of the settling and the
permanence of the newly formed hy-
drate of lime depends upon its being
combined with some other salt; the
the pure hydrate of lime is, in fact, solu-
BILE. the hydrated silicate of lime is toll
erably insoluble. but it forms slowly,
while the hydrated double siicate of
lime and alumina, or of lime and mag
nesia, are practically insoluble. This
may be taken as an explanation of the
general conditions which arise, but the
obscure subject of the chemical actions
which takes place under the influence
of high degrees of temperature has not
yet been thoroughly investigated, and
offers a most interesting field Of expert
ment and research.

4 Very Obedient Elephant.

some countries in Asia an ele-
pnans is made to carry the flag in bat
ties. This is because the elephants SO
tall, and the soldiers can easily see the
flag flying from his back.
One of these elephants, which be-
longed to the Poona host, was very
brave and very kind, but he would
obey the order of no one except his
mahout, or driver.
One time, while very fierce fight
was raging, the driver called out to
him: Stand, my brave beast, stand!"
A moment later the mahut received q
fatal wound, and fell to the ground,
where he lay beneath pile of wounded
and slain.
The obedient animal would not move,
though the battle ragged fiercely around
him. The Poona soldiers, who feared
they were being overcome, were. cheered
on by the sight of tn .ag still floating
from his back.
He never stirred foot, and ali

Sharp spears were hurled at him. q
score of javelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripped with blood, but he
stood like q rock.
"Come forward" my men!" cried
the Poona men; @our flag still floats and
the battle will yet be onrs. :"
His men, discouraged and ready to
fly, rallied at this command. and with q
cheer for the flag pressed forward.
In q short time they had won the
victory, and put the enemy to flight.
And then they gathered around the
brave elephant, Offering to lead him
where he could be fed and cared for.
But, though wounded and worn. the
obekient creature would not move un-
til he heard his masters voice. The
master could never speak again.
A rider was sent in great haste to a
place fifty miles away, where lived the
driver'si little son. whom the elephant
knew and loved.
When the little boy was Drought to
the battle ground the elephant showed
very plainly that he was glad to see
him and permitted the child to lead him
away.-Our Little Ones.

Among the successful business Institutions
of ToleSO, Ohio, is that Of Col. Frank j..
Cheney, the manufacturer of Halls Catarrh
Cure. Under his wise and careful manage
ment it has assumed gigantic proportions, and
recently an eastern syndicate made him an
offer in cash of S25O, 600 for his plant, which
MIR. Cheney declined to accept. A few years
ago he was seriously embarrassed, but un-
daunted by misfortune, he settled down to
hard work in pushing an article which he be
lieved possessed merit. Long ago he paid
every claim against him, dollar for dollar, and
now has fortune left. All this he has ac-
complished by persistent push and printer
ink Among the great advertising firms OF
the country he stands in the front rank OF
advertisers. The press of Toledo, and its citi.
zens generally, rejoice at the success and good
fortune of Mr. Cheney, who is highly esteemed
among them for his business energy, as well as
his happy social qualities.-From an article in

he dare not speak of it. Even with
