A gentleman in England made an
adaptation of a French play and forgot
to submit it to E. F. S. Piggott, the late
censor. Consequently at the last m O.
ment the license was refused. The
adapter hurried up to London to argue
with Piggott, who was not to be trifled
with. He thought the piece highly i'm
proper and refused to sanction its pro-
duction.
s'But," said the gentleman, "my
wife, who has never seen the French
original, has read my play and consid-
ers it most interesting and unusual
work.
''Then," said Mr.. Piggott, ending
the interview, IF were in your place,
I would give up adapting French plays,

SALT WATER IN CEMENT.
The sulphates of the Sea Are Very De-
atructiYa.

The sulphates of the Sc. Are Very De-
structive.
In the opinion of DR.. Michaelis, of
Berlin, the greatest enemies to the per-
manency of the Portland cement used
in marine structures are the sulphates
contained in sea water. If there is any
great quantity Of alumina and ferric
oxide in the cement the structure
breaks up sooner than otherwise. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
sulphate forms, with the illuminate and
ferrate of lime, a number Of crystalline
compounds, such as bassic sulphate of
lime, alumino-sulphate and ferro-sul-
phate of lime. These compounds take
up large quantity of water of crystal
lization, so that the total volume is
much increased. Hence the weakness
and disintegration of the cement struc-
ture. Dr. Michaelis considers that the
separation of hydrate of magnesia is
quite innocuous, for it is only displaced
from it's solution in the form of foc-
culent, Shiny hydrate, which, if any
thing, is useful in stopping up the
pores. His general recommendation to
users of concrete for marine work is to
choose cement rich in silica and as
poor as possible in alumina and ferric
oxide, and to envelop the structure
with an impenetrable mixture CON-
posed of one part of cement with two
to two and one-haf parts of sand of
mixed grain, Of which at least one-third
should be very fine sand, and to this
the requisite amount of ballast should

CASTE FOLLOWS THE NOSE.
Anthropoloxists Say tho Nose Tells the
Culture of Man.

Anthropoloxists Say the Nose Tells the
Culture Of Man.
Anthropology, said Sir William Flow
er, is becoming Of the highest impor;
lance in politics. If we take a series
Of castles in Bengal, Behar or the
northwestern provinces and arrange
them in the order of the average nasal
index, so that the caste with the finest
nose shall be at the top, and that with
the coarsest at the bottom Of the list,
it will be found that this order sub
stantially corresponds with the accepted
order Of social precedence.
The casteless tribes who have not yet
entered the Brahmanical system oc-
cupy the lowest place in both series.
The fisher castles are trife higher In
the scale; the pastoral, the cultivating,
and group of cognate castes-from
whose hands a Brahman may take
water-follow in due order; and from
them we pass to the trading and the
landholding classes and the upper crust
of Hindu society.
Thus it is scarcely a paradox to lay
down as law of the caste organization
in Eastern India that mans social
status varies in inverse ratio to the
width of his nose.

Late Flowers.

With the turning of the leaves it is
supposed the flowers disappear, but in
northern New England, and over the
line in Canada, the asters are
never more gorgeous, the daisies big
ger or the chamomile more abundant
than just on the eve Of frost time. In
towns two or three hundred miles north
of New York the short but warm sum-
mer seems to have it's fruitage after the
equinox, and the parks and gardens in
these towns are brilliant with mari
colds, zinnias, asters, cosmas, and even
sweet peas, long gone by in these lati-
tudes. Melons are in their prime in
Maine when they are not on sale in
New York.
