There is much flippant talk in Eng
land about conquering the Beers; but
the Boer is not a man to be despised,
as English readers are told in recent
article. The Boer is "a man with
whom the predikant (parson) is always
an honored guest; who loves, and
thinks much of the opinion Of his wiz;
who is boundlessly hospitable, and who
can shoot straight" The Beers, in
their faith and in their shooting, bring
to mind Cromwell's men, as good SOL
diers as the world ever saw. Fighting
the Beers in London club talk, and
fighting them within rife range, are
vastly different affairs, as Raider Jane
son can testify.

ventilated and perfectly free from damp.
The holes in the brick form a hollow in
the wall from bottom to top, through
which fresh air can pass unobstructed.
Said Mr. Birn: Occupants of close office
buildings and hotels could get sufficient
ventilation without l1seping the windows
and doors open all the time If buildings
were constructed on this principle
For several years one Of the problems
that has puzzled the builders of the large
cities is to get building material of
light weight and at the same time pos
sessing the necessary strength and dura-
bilty "Slxy scrapers' are going up in
almost every large city, and are now put
UP with steel frame and terra Gotta.
This requires foundation that is seldom
successfully laid. The maker of Stag
brick says that by usirg the new dis
covery the weight win bic lessened near
ly e-half, with nothing detracted from
the strength. With a slight giving away
of the foundation the walls will not crack,
the brick being laid in such manner that
with building Of moderate size ard
height it will be possible to take parts
of the foundation out and lay 1t new with
out injury to the walls.
Mr.. Birn believes ne cant malQe roofing
process the brick can be made just as
hand as necessary for the purpose for
which it will be utilized Her%will not
make any experiments in this until after
the test for building material, believing
that If ne meets success with the first
there will be no trouble about the other
He is not prepared to talk about the c1st
but is confident he can compete with the
manufacturers of any other brick, and
furnish Chicago builders at a profit. If
the experiment is satisfactory there will
be no trouble in disposing of the output
Of a large plant, working more than 100
hands from the beginning. AS the new
discovery becomes introduced the greater
the demand will he.
Tbs, material for making the brick is
plentiful around Birmingham. Hereto
fore it has been utilized almost solely for
road making. Great banks of it can be
found around the furnaces at low fig
ure. Mr.. Birn says that much Of it is a
good quality for the purpose he desires
to use 1t. Disposing of the Stag has al
ways been a vexing question with the
furnace operators and It may be that the
genius which is daily pointing out that
every waste can he utilized to good pur-
pose has solved the problem.

DOLLAR WHEAT IS RAGING
Great Excitement Among the Bir-
mingham Spectators.
REACTION EXPECTED TODAY
From Yesterdays Decline-The Way Wheat
Farmer Playing Game of Wait SINH
lar to the Cotton Farmer.

+. The 81 wheat excitement reached Bir-
mingham Saturday, and the interest
never Jagged around the exchanges dur
ing business hours yesterday Every
available inch in front of the boards was
taken up Saturday and excitement was
at high pitch when the New York mar
ket was bulletined ait $106.
The brokers were expecting the rise.
When the cables from Liverpool were re-
ceived announcing the advance in futures
the buEs shouted and the bears looked
sullen They were confronted IN every
side by sensational advances When the
news came that thousands of bushels of
wheat was actually changing hands for 81
per bushe1 on the New York produce ex-
change the crowd yelled.
The market opened up yesterday
morning lively The first quotation was
ST. but the fail began early and continued
until the close. First IT went to $685. then
971s to 81. IA sudden leap was then taken
down the ladder to 951a, and the Biz
mingham bulls groaned.
There was considerable speculation
both Saturday and yesterday. A reaction
is expected today and the bulls will be
on hand early to scent victory.
Wheat has reached the highest price in
six years. One year ago last Friday the
price was 65 cents per bushel The wheat
crop for this year is estimated at $50, 000,-
600 bushels. A calculation on this basis
shows a difference of $212, 662, 500 to the
American farmer. They are holding back
their crops. Substantially none of this
years yield has bsen marketed. 1t Is
estimated that 100, 000. 900 bushels are just
being harvested in Minnesota and the
two Dakotas.
Many look for the market to continue
high, while others say when 1t does take
a tumble 1T will tumble fast. The farmer
is a very wary Individual. however, and
he is waiting for the rise, just as the cd
time cotton farmer of the south formerly
held his cotton for several years waiting
for 10 cents per pound.
