which he is so deeply interested. And well
may he suffer. There is, perhaps, nothing 30
calculated TO fill one with shame at unworthy
deeds or connections rs TO become notorious
ly involved, having an honorable and distin-
guished ancestry at which every one points
TO bring contempt by contrast on the trans
gressor.
This takes one back TO the parentage OF
Alexander Hamilton-that unrecordod event
wherein a child was brought into the world,
il not out Of wedlock at least with a shadow
resting upon its birth. There is a connection
for the student OF heredity as we'll as for one
who remembers the text: 1.-The sins Of the
father shall be visited on the children, be-
tween the first Hamilton and the innocent
babe whose nurse was stabbed. The first OF
the name begets child and passes away,
That child is wonder, but Of tempestuous
nature. After brilliant career he falls
in duel His son, too, falls by the same
means and exactly on the same spot. In the
next generation there is lull in that VIC
lence which has preceded Still another gen

the family seems to have forgotten it. The

manuscripts which schUfLff HAMILTON
have been used extensively by historians
They are especially valuAble as bearing on
the secret history Of events during the last
quarter Of the Eighteenth century. Mrs
Hamilton survived her husband half a cen
fury. She died in Washington in 1854 at the
age Of 81.
Alexander Hamilton and his wife had six
sons. One Of them, John Church Hamilton,
was the grandfather Of Robert Ray. John
Church, after being graduated at Columbia,
studied law. Away back in 1914 he was com
missioned a lieutenant In the army, and
served for awhile as an aid-de-camp to "Old
Tippecanoe,' the progenitor of President
Harrison. John Church spent a great many
years in preparing memoir of his father.

years ago.
On perusing the history OF this family, the
head of which in Revolutionary times was n
soldier, one would naturally look for some
representative in the civil war. Such one
is TO be found in the person Of Gen. Schuyler

those tragedies so common IN the family.
There father and son met death in accord

were already beginning to denounce, and
which today they hold In horror as well as
contempt
AT 10 Alexander Hamilton was fighting
with the revolutionists as captain OF an artil-
lery company; at 20 he was aid-dc-camp on
Washington's staff; at SO he was secretary OF
the treasury. "IIe touched the corpse OF the
public credit and it stood upon its feet" He
was brilliant writer, brilliant speaker, a
WONDERFUL political manager, an e1traordi-
nary financier. Indeed, there was nothing
that he touched that he did not handle as II

The Permeability of Clements and Mortars

The Permeability Of Clements and Mortars.
The question of permeability OF cements
and mortars has been treated Of by the board
Of experts appointed to report on the Wash
ington aaueduct tunnel. From their report
it appears that even il the brick lining OF
the tunnel were carefully made and backed,
still leakage could not be prevented, as bricks
are themselves pervious under somewhat
moderate heads. In some experiments made
by Mr.. Francis last year about 1873 gallons
of water per square foot of surface passed
through a thickness OF nearly 10 inches ce-
ment in tweuty-four hours, under pressure
Of n pounds per square inch. Mr.. StautYer,
another engineer, constructed n bu!khead OF
brick work in cement /, the Dorchester Bay
tunnel, which measures 10 feet by 10 feet
Under pressure Of - pounds per square
inch water percolated through at the rate Of
81 900 gallons per day. Experience on the
Boston main drainage work showed that it
was not practicable TO build II brick bulk

ceedng "a pounds per square inch and at the
Croton reservoir water under 80 feet head
was found TO percolate through 70 inches Of

A suggestion, which it is said ingenious
ladies have carried out, for making a pretty
hall lantern suitable In small suburban
house, is the following: Buy three four, five
or six Of tho hammered brass photograph
frames, which cost from ten to twelve cents
each. Remove the back and fit them around
a triangle, square, pontagon or hexagon
Of glass or hard wood, ornamenting the glass
fronts with cut glass jewels in brilliant colors,
arranged carelessly or in set designs, and Sc
cured with stratena. One of these frames
may work on hinge, formed Of stout brass
wire, and fastened on tho other side with a
hook of doubled wire. Suspend on a hook
for the purpose by brass curtain chains and
