The Earl of Derby answered thi, quest
ION recently imam address to the Scientific
and chronological School, of Liverpool,
an institution Of which he was one OF
the founders. He said:
"Having known men of many pro-
fessions, 1 should say that the hal pest
lives are those which have been de.
voted TO science. Every step is inter
esting, and the success of those who do
succeed is lasting.
"What general, what orator, what
statesman, what man of letters can
hope to leave a memory like that Of
Darwin? An INVALID in health a man
who seldom stirred from home; man
until his later years was very little
known to the outer world, but who
from his quiet study revolutionized The
thought of Europe, and will be remem-
bered as long as Newton and Bacon.
"If fame be ever worth working for
q do not say it is) that kind OF fame is
surely the most durable, and the most
desirable of all.
These words are true of the disinter-
ested men of science. We have never
had in this country men more uniformly
cheerful and good tempered than
Franklin, Rittenhouse, ana jefferson,
who spent most of the leisure of their
lives in the pursuit Of knowledge; and
Professor Agassiz was noted for the
buoyancy of his spirits in every com
pany where he felt at home. But we
can say something similar of every
person who has pursuit suited to his
talents and circumstances.
The happy people are they who have
an occul alton which they love, apart
from any advantage it may bring them.
one that they pursue with generous
ardor 1t is the element of disintertst.
edness that cheers their lives, whethe
they are engaged in ordinary or extraor-
dinary ayocations; and this is the
reason why earnest students have sue
keen enjoyment of existence. -

Most 0f the building materials now in
use have been employed with greater
or less skill for thousands Of years Since
primitive man discovered the .apta-
bility o stone, wood, and burned hr cks
composed Of clay and sand for house
building, no equally useful building ma
terial has been added 10 the list Accord
ing 10 the American Furniture Gazette.
a German mechanic has recently pat
ented an invention which has certainly
many advantages over the old fashioned
brick Of clay though use may not prove
Il to be In all respects superior.
Its practical design and ingenuity arc
characteristic of the modern tendency
of inventions 1t is in the form and Of
about tile size of an ordinary brick, but
is composed Of cast iron and is hollow.
The shell is so thin that the brick
weighs less than one made of clay A
wall is built of such hr clis without the
use Of mortar, and no skilled Labor is
required in laying them. The upper and
lower sides Of the bricks are provided
with grooves and projoo ing ribs, which
fit into each other easily and perfectly
and form wall of great strength.
There are also two large cilc lar open
ings in the upper side of each sr cS,
arranged so as to receive projections on
the lower side Of the brick that is TO be
placed above it One of these prof C.
tions is hook shaped, which insures
solid hold A wall OF the bricks is very
quickly put together
After the wall is built il is covered
with paint This closes all the cracks,
renders the wall alright and prevents
the bricks from rusting. BY the use of
good paint The wall cin be made highly
ornamental The bricks are very dur
able, and building made of them is
perhaps rs nearly fire proof as possible
A wall thus cnstruc,ed can be taken
down or rebuilt MS readily as it can be
put up There is no mortar to be re-
moved, as there is when clay bricks are
used. A house with such walls is cool
in summer and warm in winter, for the
large air spaces prevent the passage Of
heat
With a supply of such bricks man
can put up his own house and be en-
drely independent of bricknyers, mortar
mixers, and hod carriers If he does not
like his house lie can take it down and
build another with the same material,
which is always as good as new.

At the present time the hole of the
vast African continent, except the cen

admitted to govern all the central 7ssge
