Paving with Rubber Blocks.

Some new ideas have lately attracted
attention in the matter of pavements.
Among these is the paving Of bridge
by a German engineer with india rub
Der, the result having been so satisfac-
tory as to induce its application on a
much larger scale, point in its favor
being that it is more durable than
asphalt and not slippery.
In London section of roadway under
the gate leading to the departure plat
form of the st. Pancras terminus has for
some time past been paved with this
material, with the effect of deadening
the sound made when being passed over

Triumph and Tragedy.

One of the saddest, most successful
lives in this generation ended a little
time ago William Harnett, who was
called the greatest painter of still life IN
his time. was found unconscious in his
New York studio one afternoon. lie
was taken to hospital, where he died
two days later.
William Hanett was poor Irish boy,
born with an unqutnchabie love for art.
re had little education, and was early
Obliged to contribute to the support OF
bis family. The artistic impulse drove
him to become u metal engraver. After
toilsome years he saved tritte-enough
to take him to Europe to study awhile
He loved art aud his mother. Between
the two he stripped himself of the neces-
saries of life. None but his most lntl-
mate friends knew that while studying
IN Munich he went often cold and hun
CRY that he might save little money to
send home to his mother.
The privation and exposure brought
on rheumatism. He never recovered
from it, and it finally caused his death.
At last success cOme-splendid sue
cess. If he had lived he would have
probably in time got Meissonierlike prices
for his pictures. As it was, painting
of a horseshoe hanging by nail brought
him 81 600. A tiny picture Of brass
hagon sold for $1,000. Yet at the age OF
foty-two, with his grs Attest fame and
success all before him and the road all
smooth and bright, he died, because he
cad starved and chilled himself while
