ten o'clock Mrs. Maud Stone Carey, of
New York city. calls up her father,
Capt. George S. Stone, of Cincinnati,
on the long-distance telephone and
bids him goodnight. Each message
costs $3.50, but Capt. Stone thinks it
cheap enough at that price. He is
the street car magnate of Cincinnati,

A porch-climber of unusual daring
robbed a North side residence in Chi
cago, risked capture and the peniten-
tiary, and carried off $4,000 worth of
jewelry. A Chicago lawyer, mean
while, without exposing himself to the
slightest danger, gathered in a fee of
$500,O0O, and does not have to hide his
booty from the rude policemen. The
obvious moral, of course, points out the
superiority of legal study to the prac-
t!ce of climbing porches. and con-
clusively demonstrates that Chicago
lawyer is worth just 25 times as much
as eves a successful burglar.

Prof. Eliot, of Harvard university,
has not only offered to receive 1000
Cuban teachers into the Harvard sum-
mer school free of cost, but will open
his private residence to as many teach
ers as it will accommodate, and men,
bXs of the faculty will follow his ex-
ample. This is patriotism of prac-
tical sort. Most people content them
selves with a sentimental approval of
the effort to regenerate Cuba, or mani
fest patriotism wearing the flag, but to
cooperate with the government in this
work by personal labor and sacrifice is
q very different matter.

X. g. Dun 4 Go. g Review says: "If
the great increase in failures to $780,

$40, 664, 1851 last year, and especially TO
S43, 693, 079 in the second quarter, against
S2l $50, 635 last year, gave no occasion
for diligent search, failure returns
would be worth nothing. But today it
is shown that thirty banking failures
fol s25, s22, 6s2, against thiTty-one last
year for 1861, 72S, accounted for much
of the difference; that go brokerage
and real estate failures for go, 10, BAG,
against las last year for only 50, 1928, 215,
accounted for another part and that in
building and lumber working and trade
other large failures distinctly connected
with those in real estate explain much
.more of the difference between manu-
featuring and trading failures last year
and this. In these and. much less i'm

UTILIZING REFUSE.

Experiment in Wales to Turn Quarrs
Wastes Into Paving Material. :,
Baltimore American. <,
A vast amount Of refuse Is the result
of all kinds of quarrying, and the
trouble and expense Of disposing of this
refuse causes no little annoyance to
quarrymen the world over, SO that they
will undoubtedly be interested in learn
ing of experiments that have been made
in Wales to turn this waste into valua-
BILE paving material.
> Experiments have been carried on in
this direotionlat Mschynlleth, and II Is
now announced that, by proporrioning
his binding and other mixtures, E,
Reese, director of one of the largest
slate quarries in Wales, has succeeded
in manufacturing bricks or blocks Of
material possessing hard, yet grip
ping surface, admirably adapted for
paving streets and roads. The cost of
such blocks for paving is much less
than that of granite sett, while it pos
sesses advantages over the native blUek
or sett in that it is not slippery and is
not noisy when in use.
1t can be moulded into any form
without increasing the cost. In COM
bination with this stone chipping, or
dust other materials are added to suit
the degree of hardness of the surface,
silent or otherwise, that may be re-
quired.
The apparatus and plant required
being simple and inexpensive, the
operation OF brick or block making can
be carried on adjacent to the heaps of
dsoris, and the cost Of carriage of the
raw material is thus eliminated.
