An Ingenious Invention In the Line os
Building Material.

An Ingenious Invention In the Line 0s
Building Material.
Most of the building materials now
in use have been employed with greater
OF less skill for thousands of years.
Since primitive man discovered the
adaptability of stone, wood and burned
bricks composed of clay and sand for
house-building, no equally useful build
ing material has been added to the list
According to the American Furniture
Gazette, a German mechanic has recent
ly patented an invention which has GER
tainly many advantages over the old
fashioned brick of clay, though use may
not prove it to be in all respects supe-
rior.
Its practical design and ingenuity are
characteristic of the modern tendency
of inventions. 1t is in the form and of
about the size of an ordinary brick, but
is composed of cast-iron and is hollow
The shell is so thin that the brick
weighs less than. one made of clay. A
wall is built of such bricks without the
use of mortar, and no skilled labor is
required in laying them. The upper
and lower sides of the bricks are pro-
vided with grooves and projecting ribs,
which fit into each Other easily and
perfectly and form a wall of great
strength.
There are also two large circular
openings in the upper side of each brick,
arranged SO as to receive projections on
the lower side of the brick that is to be
placed above it. One of these projec-
tions is hool-shaped, which insures a
solid hold A wall of the. bricks is very
quickly put together.
After thcwall is built it is covered
with paint. This closes all the cracks,
renders the wall cir-tight, and prevents
the bricks from rusting. By the use of
good paint the wall can be made highly
ornamental. The bricks are very dura-
BILE, and bl:ilding made of them is per-
haps rs nearly Hrc-pyoof as possible.
y wall t,-ps co-I5arG,ctcd can be taken
down or rebuilt as readily as it can be
put up. There is no mortar to be re-
moved, as there is when clay bricks are
used. a house with such walls is cool
in summer and WARM in winter, for the
l>rsge sir spaces prevent the passage of
heat

DyDamite in a Prison.

JACKSON, Mich,, May 9.-An attempt
was made last evening to blow - the.
prison with dynamite. AS the convicts
were marching to their cells, Edward
Huntley, John Demant and Arthur
Lawrence broke from the ranks. One
seized guard and another sprang up
into window and attempted to light a
fuse in connection with dynamite
bomb. Deputy Northcup and Captain
Stone arrived in time to quell the dis
turbance, and the convicts were soon
locked in their cells The warden says
there have been rumors of dynamite in
the prison for over year, but no trace
of it could be found.

ties at North Yakima.
TACOMA, May "a fight took place at
North Yakima at 7:3O this evening be-
tween marshals and industrials. Dep
uty Marshals Chidester and Jolly, Of
Tacoma, were shot, the first named in
the leg and the latter through the
bowels. He is bleeding internally.
Twelve shots were fired in the melee.
Savage, Weaver and McAphee, all
Seattle Coxeyites, received flesh
wounds from revolvers. "Buck," a
Seattle Coxeyite, who was the leader of
the crowd, had two fingers broken with
club. Intense excitement reigns at
Yakima. The fight was the result OF
the determination on the part of the
Coxeyites not to leave train which has
been held since 10 O'Clock this morning.
1t seems difficult to determine Just who
began the shooting at Yakima, but from
particulars now at hand it appears that
the marshals shot first to protect their
comrade, whom the industrials were
clubbing because he had pulled Coxey-
lite from the brake. They shot only to
wound and cause the Coxeyites to de-
slst. The infuriated industrials who
had guns then, apparently, pulled them
and shot into the force of marshals, hit.
ting jolly and Chidester.

coLoRs lN GOAL TAR.

Startling Results Obtained from Working
the Formerly Useless Substance.
The secret of the production of color
is not yet revealed. The unrivaled hues
of the tulip and the rose are formed
from the black soil. But how? None
can say. Yet one is no less startled
by the endless variety of color now
produced from coal tar. From that ap-
parently useless substance perfumes,
medicines and sweeteners have been
formed which have startled men. But
color appeals to the eye.
Only thirty-six years ago. says Long
mans Magazine. Perl1in gathered up
the Fragments in coal tar and pro-
duced the beautiful mauve dye. Now,
from the greasy material which was
considered useless is produced madder,
which makes coal tar worth e100 a ton.
This coloring matter alone now EN-
ploys an industry of 1000, 900 per an
mum. One ton of good camel coal,
when distilled in gas retorts, leaves
twelve gallons of coal tar, from which
are produced pound of benzine, a
pound of toluene, a pound and half
of phenol, six pounds of napthalene, a
small quantity of xylene and half a
pound of anthracene for dyeing pur-
poses.
According to Roscoe. there are six
teen distinct yellow colors, twelve or
ange. thirty red, fifteen blue, seven
green and nine violet, besides num-
ber of browns, and an infinite number
of blendings of all shades. What a
marvellous color-producer is coal tar.

FIGHTING pUELs IN HAY.

About the Only Exercise In Which Ma |
tives of the Sunny Land Indulge.
Dueling is the leading and almost
the only athletic sport in Italy, says
the Idler. 1t is true that there is an
Alpine club, so-called because its mem
bers climb the lesser heights of the
Apennines, but there is no cricket,
and, except among the laboring
classes, ball games of even the mildest
character are hardly ever played. The
young Italian gentleman finds in duel
ing an exercise which is beneficial to
bis muscles and sufficiently exciting
to interest him, and the middle-aged
italian keeps up his practice with the
foils and occasionally challenges and
fights friend just to show that he is
not SO old as to have lost q genial inter-
est in the innocent pursuits of youth
Dueling is contrary to law in Italy,
but the duelist is never punished (un-
less he should accidentally kill manl,
except in the army, where the sport is
obligatory and strictly prohibited. The
same curious anomaly exists in Ger
many, where army officers are arrest
ed and punished if they fight a
duel and either cashiered or forced to
resign if they do not. The Italian Off
Ger, when challenged to fight, is virtu-
ally told: You'll be condemned if you
do and condemned if you DON'T This
seems to the Anglo-Saxon decidedly
idiotic, but nothing can well be more
idiotic than dueling. Playing cha
rades in a drawing-room rises to philo-
sophie heights of wisdom in com
parison with it. At least ninety-nine
out of every hundred Italian duels are
of the class technically known as
first blood'' duels. That is to say, the
combat ceases the moment either of
the adversaries loses blood. In thesd
duels the sword is always used, and
| the slightest scratch on the hand or
! the arm-which are the localities usu-
ally acknowledgements the end of
the game and authorizes the duelists
to osheathe their weapons and go some
where to dinner together. Instances
I have happened in which duelist has
been accidentally run through the
body and killed, but incidents of this
sort are extremely infrequent COM
pared with the fatalities of the foot
ball field. Italian dueling is probably
| the safest of all athletic sports, except
prize fighting as practiced by modern
pugilists by means of letters to the
sporting papers.

''There is q popular misconception re-

ney (dem., Mo.). ''The bill exempts all
incomes of $4,000 and less. In other
words, man who has an annual income
of 1000 pays no tax. A man with an an
nual income Of "a, 100 pays per cent tax
on 800, which is the excess above a, 900.
A member Of congress, for example, is
taxed Q per cent on 81, 600, the other a, 900
of his income being exempted by the law.
