own point of view and made very pleasant
journey for them, in spite of storms. dusts,
and their attendant discomforts. Her ear

A Substitute for Building Stone.

An enthusiastic advocate of wood
pulp for building material as SUBJ
stitute for stone is Mr.. G.. ID. Rice,
who has made the subject one of close
study and investigation, says the New
York Sun. His conclusion is that it
possesses the needed elements OF a
durable constructive substance, being
at the same time devoid of some of
those features which detract from the
vnlue of stone and brick. He sum
marizes some of the qualities pre-
sented by this new factor in building
MS consisting in its being light IN
weight, exceedingly hard, poor con-
ductor of heat aud sound, and suffi-
ciently elastic to meet all the usual re-
quirements for the purpose; it is
tough, though nail can be driven in
to it, and it can also be drilled,
while the other necessities of a
stone substitute, as enumerated, to-
gether with resistance to frost and
heat, with ability to stand strain. and
so on, are said to be met. besides the
important item of saving the cost u
transportation. 1t is urged further
that the difficulty of procuring per-
fectly square stone blocks, except at
high rates, is thus overcome, for the
pulp blocks, being cast in square
mold, are necessarily uniform. Diff
fering from stone and brick, which
absorb so much heat in summer, the
proposed material is claimed to be
cooler in summer, while in cold wealth
or it prevents dampness, so common
in stone. Paper World.

About three years ago wandering
cyclist threw whole district Of the
Transvaal into paroxysm Of super
stitious terror. Travelling by night,
his advent would have been unnoticed
II two young Beers, early abroad in
search of strayed bullocks, had not
seen the "spook" or track Of the
wheelman. With the curiosity Of
their race, they followed il for some
miles, being anxious to see "the man
who could trundle wheelbarrow so
far without n rest"
After an hours tracking, one re-
marked:
"This fellow must be n thief; let rs
go and tell the landdrost (magis-
trate)."
Accordingly, the worthy Dutch
"beak" was brought on the scene, and
he was accompanied by a score of
armed Beers.
The whole party followed the path
taken by our cyclist. Hating at noon
while the horses grazed, the myster-
ious trail was the object OF much
scrutiny.
Suddenly one farmer exclaime | {:

The recently cabled report that Mark
Twain has sold the copyright of his
forthcoming book for $50, 900 may or
may not be true, but it is significant,
to the New York World, that such a

the copyright OF piece OF light lit

multiplication of books has enhanced
the earnings of successful authorship.

several days no one could venture out
on account of the sand. When it
subsidized, no trace could be seen of
the stamp mill. 1t had been covered
by the sand. 1t would cost more to
dig it out than to build new mill, so

Furs From Southern States.

The raw fur trade of the United

many persons not connected with
the trade, says the Tradesman, that
the Southern states contribute largely
to the fur markets of the world. Dur
ing the season of 1S93-94 the follow
ing amounts of furs were shipped
