Made of Unburued Brick

Adobe houses are made of unburned
brick. They are in common use in
Texas, Mexico, Central and South
America. The bricks are made of
loamy earth, containing about two
thirds fine sand and one-third clayey
dust. This mess is mixed with water
and pressed into molds of the required
size. Taken from the molds the adobes
are placed on edge on the ground and
left to harden in the sun. In few
days they are hard, CONF act bricks,
without crack. They are laid with
mud moltar, and at the completion Of
every two feet of the structure an in
terval of one week is allowed for dry
ing, and similar space of time be-
tween the completion of the walls and
the putting on of the roof. The houses
are usual y one story high, and the in
side is plastered before the roof is put
on. The duration of those houses is
much greater than would be supposed,
as there are number now in exist
ence which have stood for more than Il
century

SChlEY AT SANTIAGO,


pressed the Enemy.
The following Is taken from the
statement made on July by Captain
Eulate the Spanish cruiser Viscaya
The entire Spanish squadron was
ordered to devote the fire of its guns
on the cruiser Brooklyn because it was
believed that she was the onl y shipin
the American squadron that could
overtake us. When we got ont of the
harbor my ship was second in line,
and | saw Immediately that the flag
ship Maria Teresa was getting ter
riblc baptism of fire. 1t was fright
full.
The Texas and the Brooklyn were
just Kidding her, and in fifteen min
utes saw she was on fire. The Iowa
and the Oregon were firing on the
Oquendo, and as yet had not been
badly hit. The Brooklyn was half IL
mile closer to us than any other ship,
and | determined to try to ram her,
so that the Cristobal Colon and the
Oquendo could get away, and started
for her. She was Il good mark with
her big broadside, and as | started /
thought surely l would get her, but
she had evidently seen us, and very
quickly she had turned about and,
making short circle, came to our
port side, so that I thought she
would ram us.

the Brooklyn was beautiful. We
opened rapid fire at her with all our
big guns. but she returned it with ter
rbe effect. The Oregon also hit us
several times, but the Brooklyns
broad crashing into our superstruc
ture simply terrorized the men. We
worked all our guns on her at one
time, and don't see how she escaped
us. She simply drove us into the
shore, at one time fighting us at 100
yards.
One shell went along the entire gun
deck, killing half the men on it and
wounding nearly all the rest. A shell
from the Oregon hit the superstruc-
ture, and it was then that, wounded
and knowing we could not get away,
l struck the flag and started for the
beach.
The Brooklyn had prevented mo
from getting away, for 1 could have

About Tool Handles.

sit is wonderful what number
and variety of tool handles is made in
the United States every year. re-
marked IL Wholesale dealer in such
articles in New York to the writer re.
Gently. "rhese handles come in ali
sizes and shapes, from The smallest
handle made to fit tiny tack hammer
to those intended for the heaviest
fifty pound sledge tool. Ofaye, hatchet
and alze handles there are half Il
dozen different shapes and sizes, and
for chisels and gouges there are rs
many more. Such han lies, as well rs
others mad for spades, shovels and
pickaxes, are manufactured mostly by
five or six concerns having large
facilities in Kentucky and Tennessee,
where millions of dollars worth of
the goods are turned ont annually.
''Thr material used for hammer, axe
and shovel handles is hickory and
oak. Trees used for making the
handles are sawed down close to the
ground. The timber is then cut into
suitable lengths and allowed to sea
son. When seasoned the logs are
split into pieces OF the requisite size
for forming han Hes. These pieces
are called bolts. The bolts are sawed
approximately 10 the shape of the
handle to be finally made, and in this
share they are handle blocks. The
handle block is turned to the desired
shape in lathe, and when polishe
the work of forming handle is CON
rleted for the market. Besides Their
neatnes, of finish, American t o,
handles possess Il lightness, tough
ness and elasticity superior to ANY
handles made il the world, and for
this reason We export large quantities
to the old country. where the work
men appreciate their good qualities. y

a Isure Bird,

TO find the rarest bird in existence
you must go TO the mountains between
AMMAN and Loas, where there is cer.
tain kind of pheasant. For many
years its existence was known only Ivy
the fact that its longest and most
splendid plume was in much request
by mandarins for their headgear. A
single skin is worth 500, and the bird
living would be priceless, for it soon
dies in captivity.

A professor who has made a study
of children says that lie has discovered
why the majority of people are right
handed. Infants use both hands until
they begin to speak. The "motor
speech function" controls the right
side of the body, and the first right
handed motions are expressive mo-
tions, tending to hel p out speech. AS
speech grows so does right handed
