Production of Portland cement.

Mr.. Giron read before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia a paper on the trade
of the world in Portland cement, in the
course of which he said that the present
annual production in Europe amounts to
over 90, 900, ,0O0 barrels and its CONNER
cial value to over 81 100000. The first
factory was established at Northfeet, on
the Thames. The process was SO crude
that in 1850 only four factories were in
operation. In England there is now
over e,300,000 barrels made each year.
The process is much the same as it was
twenty years ago. The raw materials
are chalk and clay, both pure, and al
though inferior processes are employed
they make satisfactory cement.
A few years ago the entire product of
the kilns was put on the market, but the
ineness of the Continental cements led
English makers to improve their pro-
cesses, although even now English ce-
ment is not as rule as firm as Geneva
or French Portland.-New York Even

Not a Ncurishfnp Diet.

An old Scotch servant attached to
the household of the famous British
logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud of his masters fame as if it had
been his own, and, having picked up 6.
few of Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play on
every possible occasion.
One day gentleman who was fond
of drawing out old John for the amuse
ment of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
81 suppose, John, now that you've
lived SO long with such great reasonel
as Sir William, You are quite able te,
conduct an argument yourselfY'
''Weel, l Wilma say sac muckle as
that" replied the old Scotchman, with
the modesty of true genius, ''but if
Gamma conduct an airgyment, I'm think
in could draw an inference"
"Could you? Let us see, then? There's
an Eastern proverb, you know, about
the wild ass snufing up the east wind.
Now what inference would you draw
from that?'
For moment old John looked nom
plussed, as well he might, and then a
gleam of sly hu1nor twinkled in the cor
ner of his dark gray eye, and he an
swered, with a grim chuckle:
"Aweel, the Inference that I wad
draw from that wad be that he might
snuff a lang time before he grew fatr'-

Polly Saved the yaluab1es,

We had moved into newly built
house, which had all the modern i'm
provements, the electric bell being one
OF them.
1t was a cold winters night. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
the servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but in the dining room, which was
up stairs.
She used to see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, end, like
a elever bird, studied ON this for long
while.
On this night Polly was ell alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not SEQ the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars.
Polly ROW proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button Of
the electric bell.
It brought the servants TO the dining
room, where, after a short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
Polly was fed on dainties for some
time as reward for her valuable as-
sistance.-Cor. New York Recorder.

Americas First Lighthouse.

The first lighthouse built on this con-
tinent was at st. Augustine, Fla. Its
chief use was as lookout, whence the
Spanish people of the town could see
vessels approaching from Spain or get
notice Of the coming of foes in time to
run away. The tower attracted the at
tention Of Francis Drake as he was sail
ing along the coast with his feet Of high
popped ships on his way home from pill
laying the cities of the Spanish main.
So he stopped long enough to loot the
town and destroy what he could not
take away.-W ashington Star.
