The irst witness in the storm drair
conspiracy case at this mornings
session was James Smith, who sup.
piled . certain kind o! brick that
went into the drain from his kiln at
Sears. He said the brick furnished
by his firm were good. He did no,
claim to be an expert on cements,
but claimed that natural cemcr.s
we're used in great deal Of the con
crete work that he had been doing
for the government on the locks OF
the Hennepin canal. He went
through the d. ain with his brother
about o year ago and found no poor
or soft brick, or no places where the
mortar was not good and solid.
Hans Paulsen, OF South Rock Isl
and, furnished 10000 brick for the
drain and all were hard burned; none
OF his were rejected. All the brick
that witness saw in the work were
good hard burned. aud the mortar,
so far rs he saw, good mortar.
Leonard Drsck. the architect, tes-
tilted IS to his familiarity with ce.
ment In sewer and other construc.
tons. He stated that there was
almost an infinite variety Of Port
land dement's. and their qualities
varied. each brand having its dis.
tinct qualities. but he said no cement
could be termed 3 Portland cement
which failed to reach a certain
standard Of quality. He said tha,
!or work exposed to the atmos pierre
natural cement would last as long
as the other material; and in his
opinion good sewer could be made
from Milwaukee or Utica, or Other
good brands Of natural cement.
The principal witness for the de.
tense on cement was Lieut.. o. c
Horney, OF the arsenal. He took
some cement out OF q sack marked
buckeye Portlsnd," and which he
said was Portland cement from the
supply OF cement on the ground at
the time the sewer was being con.
structed. and had a series OF tests
made. the report OF which was sub.
mitted to MIR. Nevin. These te.t:
showed that the cement that Nevin
was using was q poor grade and wa:
much poorer than the good
grades Of natural cements, sucS
as the Milwaukee. The witness also

where the mortar could be picked

A Bad Monkey.

Mr.. Texter, proprietor of Ulmer park,
on Gravesend Beach, L. l., has a mon
key in his menagerie that is credited
with some queer pranks. He likes
whisky, beer and wine, takes a drink
whenever he can get it, and like many
of the human species goes on a spree
once in a while. That is, he quits his
cage and disappears for time. Wheth-
er he leaves the park and goes to Coney
island or Bath beach is a question, al
though it is reported he has been seen
in both places. If he returns home in
the night and finds that he is locked
out he gets in by breaking a pane of
glass. That he is bitterly opposed to
the Raines law is evident from the fact
that one day when a copy OF the law
was lying In a chair near his cage he
came out, tore it into shreds and ate it.
Like some human men this monkey is
a wife-beater. A much smaller female
monkey occupies the cage with him and
her face and head always bear marks
of his cuffs and blows.

1t is reported that an English bee
keeper has successfully experimented
with bees as carriers Of messages, and
be thinks that, in some respects, they
are superior to pigeons for the purpose.
The message, photographed in micro
scopic characters, is fastened between
the insects wings. 1t is the habit OF
the bee to rise in the air, and then fly
straight home. Being invisible, except
when close at hand. it is suggested that
such a bearer OF dispatches in war
would be quite safe from the bullets
Of the enemy.
