The attention of builders Is being
drawn to the value of bamboo asabuild-
ing material. The great strength Of
bamboo poles is not at all understood
by the majority of persons. 1t is stated
on excellent authority that two bam-
boo poles, each Of them ITO inches in
diameter, when placed side by side, will
support grand piano slung between
them by ropes, and that they will
neither sag nor break under the burden.
Bamboo will form poles 65 to 10 feet
long and from s to 10 inches in diane
ter. A derrick 90 feet high, made of
four-inch bamboo poles, raised two iron
girders weighing together 424 pounds.
The wonderful lightness of this materi-
al in proportion to its strength has ex-
cited comment of late, and new uses
are constantly being made of it. Scat.
foldings of bamboo have the advantage
Of lightness- and strength. 1t is predict.
ed that this material will come in gen
eral use for such purposes. An add
tional advantage is that bamboo resists
decay in water us well as in earth, tina,
the older and drier it gets, the NOR.

The De.truction Of sodon.

Anattempt to give a scientific account
Of the destruction of Sodom and Com
orrab has been made by DIR. G. Diener,
Of Vienna. A study Of the peculiarities
Of the Dead Sea basin, and of the site of
the overwhelmed 'cities of the plain
leads him to conclude that violent
earthquake must at some time have
occurred there, which affected the en-
tire basin, and was accompanied by the
inundation of the shores. An old vol
canic crater on the eastern side of the
sea was, he thinks, simultaneously
thrown into eruption through the dis.
turbance produced by the earthquake
These occurrences would supply the
principal phenomena mentioned in the

Rival In Coal.

A possible new rival to coal is loom
ing up in masut a dark-brown oily
liquid which is by-product in the dis
tillation of raw petroleum. Russia and
several other countries have already ex-
perimented with masut, but the most
successful test has been made by Ger
many. The German masut is obtained
from cheap coal of Saxony, and it
is hard to understand how this new
product can be cheaper Gao to so per
cent. as ciaimed) than the coal itself.
Not only is such claim now made,
but its heat-raising qualities are also
sale to exceed those of carbon. Its easy
tankage, its almost utter independence
of stocking, and its smokelessness will,
if reports be true. recommend masut
for use on war ships.-Chicago Trib-
