A French Scheme for House Heating.

The teachings of NJ. Trelat, the practical
experiments Of NJ Somesco. suggest that
the natural porosity of our walls, especially
the outer walls, should not be destroyed.
These walls should be decorated, not with
paper and paint, but with porous, non
conducting substances, such as wooden
drapery. Tue outer walls on the side
nearest to the inner surface should be
followed throughout, thus constituting a
double wall. with a space of about four
inches between the two walls.
A heating contrivance of whatever de-
scriptiou may be found most expedient or
economical should be placed in the base
ment of the house A warm air chamber
or shaft travelling round the base of the
outer walls should supply to the hollow in
the walls air taken from the outside and
warmed at the point of admission into the
wall to a temperature of from 100 dogs. to
i20 dogs. Fair. This should maintain the
temperature of the inner wall at from SO
dogs. to 80 dogs. Fair. Then the walls
will radiate sufficient heat through the
rooms to enable the inhabitants to con-
stantly open the doors and windows, and
to breathe cold. fresh, outer air without
Inconvenience.
As Il rule fires will be unnecessary,
dampness will be completely banished from
the house and to maintain some moisture
in the air it would be expedient to decorate
the house with numerous evergreen plants.
The inhabitants should then be able to
benefit by unlimited ventilation, and could
breathe pure, cold and fresh air coming
upon them directly from the outside

1t is matter of common knowledge
that india rubber goods even of the
highest quality are perishable. Although
not subject to any great wear and tear
the time comes when the rubber loses
its elasticity and becomes soft and rot
ten. Hitherto such persisted rubber has
represented waste material for which
no use could be found, but by a process
recently invented the persisted rubber
can be made, it is said. once more serv-
iceable.
By incorporating the waste rubber
with certain hydrocarbons and with a
proportion of Trinidad asphalt, by add
ing to the mixture certain vegetable oils
and submitting the product to heat,
there is produced substance to which
the name of ''blandyte" has been given
1t can be made hard and dense or soft
and pliable by modifying certain parts
of the process, and it seems to be appli-
cable TO most of the various purposes
for which pure rubber is used. st. Louis

POSTAL REFORM.
Letter Carriers Hereafter Must Complet,
Their Work In Eight Hours.

Their Work In Eight Hours.
In according with instructions from the
Postmaster General the Shenandoah mail
carriers started yesterday on the eight hour
law, which requires that they must traverse
their routes in that time, so that no pay will
be needed for over time. Carriers must be
equal to the work, or give way to others who
are. The carriers are not to be employed
consecutive hours each day, but eight hours
when needed to go over their routes accord
ing to the time the mails are ready for distri-
button.
Each letter carrier will be furnished with
blank form, on which he must make q
detailed statement of the character of his
| route and the length of time required to
cover it. If a carrier is unable to complete
his tour within a stated time the department
has ordered that another carrier shall be given
the route, and the system of exchange of
turns made until man can be found to do
the work.
Some carriers will be forced in many
instances to be away from home 10 or 12
hours in order to complete the 8 hours Of
duty. The department has directed that
overtime letter carrier duty must be stopped.
The postmaster general says the above rule
is according to the law as interpreted by the
/ United States Supreme Court.

Prospect Park, twelve acres in extent, ad
joins the American Falls, with frontage of
several hundred feet both above and below
the cataract, of which it commands a fine

down into the clouds of mist below, where
on the rocks he can see people standing un-
disturbed and all the fury of the churning
waters about them and looking up at the
great volume of water rolling down so
(seemingly) perilously near them. In no
place can one better appreciate the Falls
than from these rocks below. Passing down

panied by a trusty guide and clad in a
waterproof suit, the traveller can make a
trip in behind the cataract in the Gave OF

drowned in the spray, and with sense Of
daring which'is entirely irreconcilable with
the fact that he is in fact perfectly safe; and
emerging through the wall of water at q
point where the fall is less violent, he breathes
again, his heart sinks back to its proper
place. and looking up he feels what he has
passed through seems but fitting initiation
