Although English and American ex.
cavating parties in Assyria have been
unusually hampered this year by the
authorities, the results of twelve mon tbs
are said to be exceedingly valuable.
Almost the whole of Sennacherib's
great palace at Konyunjik has now been
cleared out, including the library and
chambers, and the result is that some
100 new tablets, ETC., have been Sc
cured for the British Museum. The
Americans were relatively fortunate so
far as finding things went, but they got
into trouble with the Arabs and were
obliged to abandon the work and seek
refuge in Bagdad.

Iron bricks, SO called, are SAID to be
in satisfactory use for street paving in
Germany. These bricks are made by
mixing equal parts of finely ground red
argillaceous clay, with the addition OF
5 per cent. of iron ore. The ingre-
dents thus mixed together are then
moistened with strong solution of
sulphate of iron, to which fine iron ore
is added. After this, the compound is
shaped in a press, dried, dipped once
more into thick slip of finely ground
iron ore and then burnt in kiln for
about As hours in reducing flame.

Mr.. Bolton already feels invigorated
and refreshed by the change. If a

him still more good. Therefore,
though he retires at night with the no

Mr.. Bottoms first thought is of the
roll of money the butler has given
him. He hastens to assure himself
that the whole transaction enacted in

is no wild chimera, or shadow of a

from their place of concealment be-
meath his pillow and looking them
over.

The question of uniting the various
States of Central America into feder-
alton is again attracting attention, and
according to reports from that section it
is probable that the proposition will
meet with more favor than has been the
case in the past. The rivalries of tho
leaders in the several small republics
have so far prevented any definite ac-
complishment, but there are now hopes
that all jealorsies will be healed, and
that the long talked-o union will
finally be accomplished. There is
little chance, however, that this
great change will be wrought with
out some disturbance or opposition, and
already we hear of rumored outbreaks in
Central America. 1t will be remem bered
that when the last attempt was made to
enforce the organization of the Central
American union General Barrios, the
celebrated dictator of Guatemala. lost
his life In the contest that ensued with
San Salvador. In spite of the failures
of the past, the benefits that are likely
to accrue to the several countries by the
change are too obvious to permit the
project to die, and the New Orleans
Pscayasns thinks we may expect to see
t revived periodically until it is finally
successful.
