The most curious street pavement
in the world is that which has recent
~ been put down in Lyons, France.
It is of glass, the blocks being about

sixteen smaller blocks. The glass
blocks are SO tightly fitted together
that water cannot pass between them.

Ancestors Get the GLORY.

In China when an honor is con
ferred on family, it is the ancestors
and not the descendants who share
the glory. If a Chinaman, for his
merits, receives title of nobility his
son can never inherit it or have the
right to use any but an inferior title
Thus the nobility in the family goes
on diminishing from generation to
generation till it finally becomes ex-
tinct.
