TESTING BUILDING STONE.

Tn the course of recent address upon building stones delivered by Professor Julien of Columbia College, New York, before the Meteorological ection Of the Franklin Institute, some interesting and indeed remarkable facts were brought out, first by the sneaker and subsequently by number of experts, during an animated discussion of the subject Professor Julien is not only an authority on building stones, but an expert of international fame in the preparation of extremely thin sections of rocks-sections so thin that they are transparent; and their structure can thus be readily seen under the micro scope On this occasion the thin sec tions were placed in a powerful electric projecting microscope, and the enor- mously magnified images were thrown upon a screen. The light was polarized by interposing suitable prisms, and un- der these circumstances each tiny grain of mineral composing the stone reveal ed itself not only by its shape but on account of its brilliant, characteristic color. The, chromatic effect was beauti- full. Moreover, the mechanical struc- ture, porosity, density, etc, of each va riety of stone thus treated were clearly shown, revealing the way in which ag- gregations of rock particles are some times loosely held together without or der1y arrangement and with spaces be- tween, sometimes dovetailed into each other, and sometimes cemented to- gether into a homogeneous mass.
 The somewhat surprising statement was made that no ''weathering tests" of building stones worthy of the name have ever been made. Instances were cited of the disintegration of the stones in costly buildings recently erected in New York. Albany, Philadelphia and other s-disintegration which com menced even before the structures in question were completed. The magnifi- cent Lenox Library building in New York was mentioned as one illustration, and it was said that a number of warn ing examples might be seen in Phila- delphia to-day. Several years ago the fiuted marble columns of the mint be- came unsafe owing to large masses of stone having flaked off from time to time, and it became necessary to re- move them and to substitute granite columns made to initiate the original columns in design.-Philadelph Rec ord.

PRICE OF MANHATTAN ISLAND.

PRICE OF MANHATTAN ISLAND.
 Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, con tributes to the Century an article on "The Mother City of Greater New York" Mrs. Van Rensselaer, says:
 The sum of 50 guilders (about $2G was not big one to pay for so big an island as Manhattan thirteen miles in length from north to south, and for the greater part two miles broad. But 1t satisfied the Lord Sachems of the Man hathes,' and Peter Minuit did not hand 1t over in useless cash. He gave it's equivalent when, in 1926, he arrived as the first formally accredited Director or Governor of New Netherland, commis- stoned by the Dutch West India Com pany which owned and ruled and was trying to people the province; and the nature of his moneys may be guessed from list of the articles paid, seven years later. for a large piece of land in the Connecticut Valley: One piece of duffels, twenty-seven els long; six axes, six kettles, eighteen knives, one sword blade. one shears and some toys. Moreover, land was the Indians only plentiful possession; and, again, we need not think of the Manhathes as i'm mediately deprived of their island but merely as pledged, like tenants at will, to give up tract after tract as 1t might be wanted" !"

DEATH OF WAR NATIONS.

Every great military nation has died while at least two great advocates of peace, China and Japan, have existed for centuries. The death of the great military nations has been due to the excessive burdens consequent upon an elaborate military organization. The heavy expenses of war and preparation for war consumed wealth which should have been devoted to maintaining or improving the standard of the people. We can also observe present instances of the operation of the principle in the cases of France, which has reached the point at which expenses of all kinds are about equal to the profits; of Ger many and England, whose expenses are rapidly approaching that point; and of profits are largely In excess of the ex- penditures.

SUBSTANCE OF SPANS REPLY,
Independence of Cuba Cnn Not Now
he Granted.

Washington, April 2. - The reply of
Spain is said, in effect, to be:
The independence of Cuba means the
parting OF cession of Spanish territory,
which can not be done without the con-
sent of the Spanish cortes, which will not
be in session until April "a.
The counter proposition is submitted
that the Cuban matter shall be settled up
on basis equitable among nations. The
United States is asked TO give Spain time
to treat with the insurgents and ascertain
what can be done in the nature of a peace
! full settlement.
! Senators who know the nature of the
reply say it is a very shrewd piece of di-
plomacy and made for its effect upon the
world at large. 1t is said the reply is UNI
satisfactory to the president and he does
not believe it will be satisfactory to con-
gress.
Administration officers feel that after
Monday congress is likely to take matters
into its own hands and fear is expressed
that there will be a disagreement between
the branches of government which would
be serious at thsi critical point.
No one at the capitol has undertaken t.

peaceful solution of difficulty have beer
