Adan0aDt!

ADAMANT adheres equally we'll to lath,
brick, stone or iron, and will last
as long as the building.
ADAMANT will not cleave off, even
though leakage occur by the
bursting of pipes Or an imperfect
roof.
ADAMANT permits carpenters to work
right along on the same floor with
the plasterers.
ADAMANT does not crack or shrink,
rats do not gnaw through it, nor
will it harbor vermin, noxious gas
es, or germs of disease, like COM
mon plaster, because it is smooth,
dense and bard, instead of porus.
1t places much less weight on the
building than lime plaster. and in
stead of being dead weight it con
tributes strength.
ADAMANT costs no more than good
three-coat lime plaster. and is as
much superior to lime as lime as
perfection is superior to failure.
ADAMANr is applied easily by any
good plasterer.
ADAMANT can be cut clean to
straight edge. Registers or stove
pipe thimbles can be put in with
out removing extra plaster.
ADAMANT is sure prevention against
damp walls.
ADAMANT is impervious to wind.
ADAMANT is everything we claim for
it, and its thousands of patrons are
its best advocates.

FORT DELAWARE,
The Land Mark on the 'sPeo Patch'' to
be Removed.

The Land Mark ON the 'sPeo Patch'' to
be Removed.
The old brick and stone fort on the "Pen
Patch" island, will soon be only memory,
as workmen are already at work tearing
it down, and in place new torpedo Station
will be erected. Fort Delaware was a
noted place during the war of the rebellion,
and it is said that at one time 10000 Confed.
crate soldiers were prisoners there, Among
whom were some noted men, one of whom
was Speaker Crisp. When the fort was
tested some years ago il was found that it
could not stand against the guns of modern
warfare, ..and could be of 10 use for pro-
lection in the event of war. The new tor
pedo Station which is to be erected on the
island will protect the river above and be-
low the fort, and will mean more in the
way of defence than the old Fort ever
did.
The Pea Patch originally belonged to
Delaware, but was given to the government
o be us ed for fort Our earliest patriotic
impulses are associated with that historic
spot. The echoes of its booming guns have
long since died away, but the memory
of scenes and events that cluster about that
place will ever stir our patriotic devotion,
and kindle anew our reverence for the hon.
est, brave men who wore the grey as we'll
as for those who wore the blue.
