expanding machine device which
constitutes the patent. Il is then
punched through with rows Of Sits
with a width OF untouched steel be-
tween each line OF slts of a quarter
or half an inch, each slit being sep
grated from the next slit on the line
by perhaps an inch of steel. The ma
shine then stretches the slitted sheet
ridthwise to about six times its orig
irlal width, and when it leaves the ms
chine it represents square piece of
steel lace work with dlamond-shaped
mesbes. This is embedded in concrete
in a way similar TO the old system OF
iron rods, but is much stronger. Thus
less concrete may be used. For tall
buildings, Eiffel towers, and dock ware
houses, whose floors must bear enor-
nous weights, the advantage of this
steel lacework cannot be exaggerated.
The whole flooring may be one solid
slab binding the outer and inner walls,
and If the outer walls are also built on
the new system the entire building
would be knit together to form COM

world. His vacations were spent in Wy
oming. The strong, free air of the plains
impregnated his blood; the life of the
cowboys, Indians, and soldiers, from be-
ing merely observed, became known and
alphabetically understood. He has
done for them, through his contributions
to the Harper periodicals, what Bret
Harte did for the Californian pioneers
and Rudyard Kipling for the soldiers and
sailors of the British Empire.
To quote Theodore Roosevelt: "Many
men before him have seen and felt the
wonder of that phase of western life
which is now closing, but Mr. Wister
makes US see what he has seen and inter-
prets for us what he has heard. His
short sketches are so many cantos in the
great epic of life on the vanishing will
derness. He shows sheroic figures and
heroic life; not heroes and the heroic
life as they are conceived by the cloister-
ed intellect, but rough and strong and ma
tive, the good and evil alike challenging
the eye. To read his writings is like
walking on windy upland in fall, when

THE MILKWEED AND THE BEE.

Two months hence an occasional silky
messenger will float away from the glis-
tening clouds about the open milkweed
pods, but who ever thanks the bees of
June for them? The flower is but q
bright anticipation-an expression of
hope in the being of the parent plant. 1t
has but one mission. All its fragrance,
all it's nectar, all it's beauty Of form and
hue, are but means toward the consum-
nation of the eternal edict of creation
Increase and multiply" To that end
we owe all the infinite forms, designs,
tints, decorations, perfumes, mechan-
isms, and other seemingly inexplicable
attributes. Its threshold must bear It's
own peculiar welcome to IFS insect, or
perhaps to its humming- bird friend, or
counterpart; its hectares must both
tempt and reward his coming, and its
petals assist his comfortable tarrying.
Next to the floral orchids, the mechan-
ism OF our milkweed blossom Is perhaps
the most complex and remarkable, and
illustrates as perfectly as any of the Or
child examples given in Darwin's noble
work the absolute divine intention of the
dependence of plant species upon the
visits of an insect.
Our nilkweed flower is q deeply plann-
ed continuance to insure such an end. 1t
fills the ar with enticing fragrance. It's
hectares are stored with sweets, and /
fancy each opening bud keenly alert with
conscious solicitude for its affinity.
Though many other flowers manage i'm
perfectly to perpetuate their kind in the
default of insect Intervention, the milk
weed, like most of the orchids, ia helpless
and incapable of such resource. Enclose
this budded umbel in tarlatan gauze, and
it will bloom days after its fellow-blooms
have fallen. anticipating it's consumma-
tien, but no pods win be seen upon this
cluster. From 1.-THE Milkweed," by

THE UNITED STATES TREASURY,

It costs annually about $3.50, 000,0 900 to
maintain the United States government
exclusive of over SOC, 100000 for the
postal service, much of which ia paid
back from postal receipts). We expend
annually for the civil establishment that
is, the salaries of public officers and en-
ploYees of the executive departments,
care of public buildings, etc. about
$sS, 0O0,0 900; for the military establish
ment, $5O, 900, 900; for the naval estab-
lishment, $27, 1000, 900; for the Indian
service, $12,0oO,o0o; for pension,
$140, 900, 900; and for interest on the
public debt, $35 900, 900 making a total
of $685., 0OO,ooO
To meet these expenditures the United
States government has to raise the nee
essary funds by taxation. The greater
amount is raised by customs duties and
and by the internal-revenue tax upon
whiskey, tobacco, beer, playing cards,
oleomargarlne, etc. For the year end
ing June 80, 1896. there was collected
sl60, o0o, 900 from customs taxes and

ing and yet semielasric substance,
which there was no hope of reducing to
powder or masticating into the char
acter of food, added something to the
pathos Of bereavement. To be left
alone in the world chewing gum !!
There has been no use made of this in
literature. Even the ingenious De
Quincy thought of no such solace for
his Lady of Sorrows. The best the
poets could do before this American in
vention was to set their heroines to
chewing the perfectly intangible con-
ception known as the bitter cud of mem
DRY. This was becoming as an attitude,
but it had nothing in it to allay grief.
Here is q new field for investi k alton.
What is the underlying philosophy of
the habit of the ruminant animals !?
What has this pleasing process to do
with the acknowledged amicable and
equable disposition of the COW? Could
she support at the same time the loss of
relative and the loss of her cud? In
finding a physical origin for all our
emotions, it is certainly to be expected
that we may be on the track of remedies
for the alienation of many distressing
states of mind; and confess that have
the same sort of hope in the gum-cure
