people pay equal sums Of money into q
pool, the amount is put out at interest
and the surviving subscriber takes thu
accumulated sum. Similarly every man
of letters gradually comes to be Joint
owner with other persons of a mass Of
valuable literary material which cannot
DO used by any Of the joint owners SO
long as the others survive. But il he
outliyes the rest it all becomes his, and
he can do what he will with it, without
fear of hurting any ones feelings OF dis
closing anything that would work in

the dead. Who is there that writes and

In place of wood or tile, employ for this
purpose six parts of good quality of plas-
ter intimately mixed with one part of
freshly slaked white lime finely sifted.
The mixture as thus composed is laid
down in as quick time as possible, care
being taken that the trowel is not used
upon the surface for too long time.
After this the floor is allowed to become
dry and is subsequently saturated in a
most thorough manner with sulphate of
iron or zinc, the iron giving the strong
est surface, its resistance to breaking
being found to be 90 times the strength
of ordinary plaster. 1t appears that
with sulphate of zinc the floor remains
white, while when iron is used it be-
comes the color of rusted iron. But if lin

the case if coat of copal varnish is add.
