In his recent lecture on fire proven
ton Professor Goodman states that,
generally speaking, wooden joists are
better for buildings than steel or iron
ioists. The two latter materials. he ex-
planned, lose their strength at a not
very high temperature, whereas wood
would sustain a heavy strain for a much
longer period when exposed to great
heat. Besides when wood has once
been charred it does not burn so readily
again.
Iron and steel SOC expand nndsr the
influence Of heat. Brick and stone are
Objectionable; the former become fused
under great heat. and the latter is liable

is that when fire plays upon the joists

the joists through the tiles. Portland
cement is Objectionable, as it flakes of
when heated. but if wire netting or

SEVEN WEARS ANO DIVORCE.

a Chicago lawyers idea. which VIII
BE Regarded as Original
The Chicago attorney of a scientific
turn of mind who evolved the idea Of
what is known as the wen year amend
ment 10 the divorce law, alay or may
not have simpliied one of the greatest
social problems. An absolute conclu-
sion in this regard will be impossible
until the amendment becomes an act
and the practical workings Of the new
statute have been tested by a o or
less intelligent and impatient commu-
nifty. 1t may not be generally under
stood that the suggested legislation is
imperative as a deduction from consid-
Grafton Of what is known of the con-
slant change occurring Ia particles OF
the human body.
Each individual is made up of atoms,
and each day some of these atoms are
a off TO be replaced by Others from
the food we eat. the water we drink
and even the air we breathe. Miss
Jones, though perhaps quite as charm
ing as she was a week ago. is not en-
tirely the same person. nor is Mr.. Smith
the same young man he was Each
has lost a portion of the body and each
has gained an equivalent.
There is the same general contour as
before, but there is a slight difference
in material. In couns of time this
change will be complete. Every recent
atom Of Miss Jones o. Mr.. Smith will
have gone out into tn great world and
new atoms viii have taken their re-
spective places. Ms Jones and Mr..
Smith will be new r -ople.
The consensus Of earned opinion is
that the body char ,es entirely once in
every seven years. Now, suppose Mr..
Smith and Miss Jones to wed. Mr..
Smith has sworn to cherish the lady
who has Just bee me his wife, not some
other woman. and, vice versa, Mrs.
Smith, nee Jones. has made pledges of
equal solemnicy and import 70 love
none other than the man beside her.
For a time it is all right. that is, rela-
lively so. but at the end of a year only

AT the end of even years Mrs. Smith
Is not the same Smith married,
nor is be the same man whom she prom
ised to cleave to. There is not a particle,
not one jot or title, remaining about
either Of the couple who were married.
Clearly their relationship is scandalous,
and something should be done aboutit !.
To remedy the evil the amendment to
the divorce Law makes a separation at
the end of seven years permissible il
not mandatory.
OF course it is claimed by the oppo-
nents of the proposed legislation that
neither Mrs. Smith nor Mr.. Smith can
properly be deemed unfaithful, since
neither longer exists, and the argument,
it must be admitted, has its force. But,
admitting the assumption, who are the
two people at present living together

cuse have they for the relations now

rate or marry without delay7-Chicago

always travels in a train of five car

culiar style.
The windows. while ample for light,
are high. so that a person sitting down
is invisible from the outside. and the
sides of the car are fortified with plates
of steel concealed in the ornamental
woodwork. but strong enough to resist
a bullet. There are two sentry boxes
IN the carriage, one at each end, and
each looking out at an opposite side
from the other.

How the Worlds History Was Divided
Into Distinct Periods.
From the tools that are found in these
lake dwellings, in the caves, and in peat
beds. we suppose that there were three dis
linct periods in the life of mankind: First
came the Stone Age. in which tools and
weapons were made of stone; second, the
Bronze Age, in which they were of bronze {:
and third, the Iron Age in which iron i'm
plements appear, writes Teresa c. Crofton
In July st. Nicholas.
We must remember that when the first
men lived they had no tools to work with,
ior weapons with which to battle against
wild beasts. When thrown upon their own
