Coal Tar In Masonry.

The announcement is made in The
National Builder that what was at first
considered doubtful experiment-viz,
the use of coal tar as means of render
ing masonry impervious to water, espe-
cially in positions exposed to direct con-
tact with the latter-has proved prac-
tically valuable resort Used as coat
ing for masonry built up Of very porous
stone, tar renders it quite impervious,
even at depth of some 80 feet of wa
ter, and, according to the experience of
those who have had much to do with
it, the article should be utilized in all
public buildings, particularly those de-
signed for the preservation of works of
art, the dissolving action of water, even
upon mortar Of superior quality, being
well known; also the unfavorable effect
of the emulation of water charged with
lime salts from the mortar Two meth
DDS of using the tar are named-viz, in
boiling state in one or several layers,
this being suitable for surfaces exposed
to the air, or it may be made to flame
up before using, this being appropriate
to surfaces which have to be covered up.

A PlaGiaristic Boy.

One of the boys of Capitol hill fam
lily had been instructed by his teacher
to write an essay. A rather abstruse
subject was given him, and he had been
referred to the dictionary. His elder
brother, who was also giving sugges-
tions, had promised if the composition
was good he would write it on the type
writer. The little fellow went to the
dictionary and found the word he was
looking for and under it a quotation
that just suited the subject. He consid-
cred life little too short, though, to
copy the quotation, so he hunted up his
mothers shears and in way that argues
q great deal in favor Of his future Jour-
nalistic ability clipped through the big,
handsome dictionary and clipped wher-
ever word or phrase suited his fancy.

sition. discovered the plagiarism and
