WEARS LIKE GRANITE.
A New Kind of Cement Compound Ths will Be Valuable to the Building Trade

A New Kind of Cement Compound That will Be Valuable to the Building Trade.
 Report is made in the chemical jour- nals of a new kind of cement compound which has been introduced in Europe with very satisfactory results. This substance, to which the name of "pet- rifte" is given, is intended to be used for the conversion of organic or inor- eanie matter-whether it be waste, wet or dry, pure or mixed-into hard. durable mass impervious to water, ot great strength and free from all atmos- pheric influences.
 The composition employed is not stated, but it is in the form of wblte powder, and the statement IS made that, mixed with sand, it produces a sand stone of durable quality; with sawdust a body similar to hard wood, but lnde- structibIe, while with slate waste the result is an agreeable marble.
 According to The Chemical Trade Journal, the most reliable chemical au- thorities who have examined and ex- perimented with this product have ex- pressed very favorable opinions as to Its value, and Professor Banschinger of the Munich laboratory, who is one of the leading experts in all such matters, states tilst tiIc wearing quality of this new substance. with sawdust, is equal to the best granite and basalt.-EE- change.

Seals Love Music.

The well-known love of seals for mu- Sical sounds too often leads to their distraction. When the Eskimo hunt CT sees none of his prey about he be- gins whistling, and sooner or later is sure to attract an appreciatiye seal within reach of his harpo0n. Lying at full length at the edge of thc ice he continues whistling low, plaintive call ing notes, and presently a few cf the animals will draw near to tue spot. lifting themselves as high as they can out of the water, and slowly I3oving their heads to and fro, as if keeping time to the music. By and by one seal, more daring than it's fellows. will come very close to tEe hunter, who then jumps to his feet and stays the creature, while it's mates make on as quickly as possible.

An Exnerted Mine.

"A few years ago." remarked an old mining man, "the Rawhide mines in Tuolumne County, California, were being hawked all over this country and Europe. but no one would touch them. The mines were offered for song, and several Eastern and European experts were sent here to examine them. They all reported adversely, and the result was that they were not sold.
 'The Nevills, who now own the mines, were not experts s-that is, col Iege- bred 'experts~-but tiiey were urG-- ticaI miners ana they thought they saw e good thing In the Rawhide. They acuulred them and went to work. It cost quite a tidy little sum and the owners were nearly bankrupt before they made their big stake, but they have been taking out from $50,000 to $G0,000 month ever since Altogether the mines have yielded about S4,0OO,- coo. and the present owners have been offered S1,750,0OO for the mines by one of the syndicates that refused to touch them for twentieth that price few years ago. Which shows that there are some things the foreign ex- pert does not know about mining"

New York Managers Find the Taste
 for Vaudeville Is Waning.

New York Managers Find the Taste for Vaudeville Is Waning.
 A New York dispatch says: There are millions of dollars invested in New York music halls, variety houses and theaters devoted to speciality" per tormances, and unless there is turn in the receding of popular support there IS serious trouble ahead for at least a dozen of these places.
 1t Is no secret that the music hall managers are in a Quandary as to what to do in order to check the fall Ing oH in their receipts. The public a few seasons ago were vaudeville mad," and packed the music halls all winter and the roof gardens all sum- mer. But the appetite for that style or entertainment seems to have been satiated, and even the most expensive foreign attractions no longer draw one quarter the patronage they did a cou- pie of years ago.
 When the rush began . few SanSonS aSO co the music halls us.uE the term coHbrah nsjVely. to cover all auuse- menu places of this kiud-they coined money. AS high as Sl80,OOC ciea. profit has been made at one house dur- ing a season. Such a mine was like the opening up of the gold fields of Cripple Creek. Others rushed in and the thing was worked to death in no time. Music halls multiplied. Where S5O,OOO was expended in one place, $1OO,OOO was soon invested in another, and so 1t went on until Olympia cap ped the climax with a $2,0OO,O00 build ing.
 Multiplication of theaters meant a compound increase of the SharpeSt managerial rivalry. Ten dollars a week performers gave way to list of $50 a night artists" Actors were fought for by competing managers, who carried the battle into the Euro pean speciality markets, and salaries leaped higher and higher, until Mile. Guilbert was brought over to the Olym- pia at S4, GOO week, only to be follow ed by Chevaier and Loie Fuller at Roster and BiaPS oH a salary and percentage equaling probably that sum.
 Even at these salary outlays enOr- nous profits were made on all these early engagements. Any one of the three you choose to name played to over $1O,0O0 week, and the managers were in the heyday of their prosperity.
 But the tide has turned, and it is an open secret that many well-known managers are in water we'll up to their chins. If some genius does not arise with scheme capable of drawing dol lars from the public as they were drawn two years ago, this summer will see Broadway strewn with wrecks of gigantic theatrical ventures.

IT BEATs HE RECORD.
The Speed of a Mans Heart PuIsatiOns
 Puzzles the Doctors.


 William Wiggins, a cook, B years old, who is now at the City hospital, St. Louis, has a heart that is a record breaker. The average heart, as is known, beats at the rate of about 70 pulsations per minute, while that of Wiggins amuses itself by siinting along at the speed of 212 beats each GO seconds.
 And yet he does not die, and therein lies the peculiarity of his case. Other hearts have been known to take sprint ing spells, but when they have reached a speed of about 150 pulsations to the minute they have usually gotten tired and have stopped indefinitely. Not so with Wiggins After a speedy spell his heart usually stops completely for short period. It has always started again.
 Virgins heart has been affected with this strange trouble for about two years, without apparent cause. During an at- tack he suffers intensely, but at other times is free from pain. He is improv- ing under treatment Louis Repub- lie

A Small Bows Ingenuity.

A small boy in the Mission is the owner of a wOolly little donkey Of more than ordinary intelligence and perversity. Some time ago the man. ger in the stable fell down and struck the donkey on the head, since which time nothing could induce the animal to enter the stable of his own accord, and he wandered around the. yard at his own sweet will.
 The other day the boy found that the donkey viewed the lawn mower with mingled curiosity and alarm. He would not turn tail and run from it, but would back away, the while keeping his ears at a full cock, and his eyes on the machine. That fact gave the boy an idea. Now he leads the donkey to the stable door, turns the animal around and runs the lawn mower to- ward him. When the donkey backs into the stable the door is slammed on him before he realizes where he is.- San Francisco Post.

The Salmon Mystery.

Why salmon return to the sea after spawning has always been mystery, but the fish in San Andreas Lake may in a measure solve the problem. That reservoir is full of fine big steelheads that can never return to the sea, but they are literally covered with para sites that resemble snails and are sometimes found to be an inch and half in length It has been found that the parasites die as soon as they are placed in salt water and drop off the fish, just as barnacles drop off a salt a..-o. -ss,-el 4z5 s0OlI ss5 i, aLclors .4l a fresh water harbor. It is believed by some piscatoriaI experts that the sol mon return to salt water to rid them selves of the parasites that attack them while in fresh water. Still others con- tend that the salmon never does return, but dies soon after spawning.
