SANDSTONE SUPERSEDED

BUILDING MATERIAL POPULAR
SIXTY YEARS AGO NOT USED
NOW.
It is we'll known that the original
capitol building, the presidents house,
the City Hall. the original patent Of
flee and the old Treasury building are
built OF free or sandstone. much Of
which came from the neighborhoOd Of
Aqua Creek, Va. Comparatively few
are aware, however. that the era OF
more durable material in the construc-
ton oi the public buildings commenced
about sixty years ago.
For this change is the nation. in a
large measure, indebted to Zadock
Pratt, of New York, who served sew
eral terms in the House of Representa-
tives subsequent to 1886. He was chair
man of the Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds, and during his SER
vice the erection of the Treasury build
ing in place of that destroyed by fire
was in progress, the material being
brick and sandstone. The Post Office
Department building had been burned

building was projected, an appropria-

che shark. Mouth.

No doubt the sharks mouth Is placed
so much beneath the projecting muz-
zle, under which also the nostrlls lie.
that It may serve its proper purpose in
the best way. In all records OF the
habits OF the dsh we ARE told that It
can and does bite out large chunks OF
flesh from the dead bodies OF whales
and even from living victims of its at
tacks, and IL Is enslly seen that II it's
mouth was like that Of other fishes the
necessary leverage would he lacking.
A further reason seems to be that the
shark by this peculiar position OF It's
mouth IS compelled to turn upon its
back TO strike and is thus able to de-
liver it's onset from below with more
deadly effect.
This formidable strength of jaw Is
backed mp by most terrible array OF
teeth, Of which in some species there
are as many as six rows all around.
Each tooth Is saw edged and pointed
and some Of the largest are as much a.
two inches In breadth at the base
These lie fat against the jaws and can
be raised by separate muscles nt will
so that, as the shark darts upon its
prey, they spring on end, as a cats
claws are stuck out from its paws

This cold. hard world has few souls
as sensitive as young man who killed

600. TO establish a branch office Of their
business In Paris. After he had been

missed him. they wrote 10 his father.
supposlng that he knew where his son
was. The father, however, was igno-

and the police were summoned and a
search made Of his apartments. On
the bed In his room was found his dead
body, with a note by his side. which
said;

A Piece orIn..-r Luck.

The discovery OF the famous Trojan
mine IN Calaveras county. Cal, Is curl
GUS as ah illustration of pure luck and
doubtless has hcartened many a dis
couraged miner In January. 1865.
Henry Becker, a German. aud John l..
Trimmer, a Connecticut man. two poor,
ragged. discouraged mining prospect
ors, went into the mountains OF Cain
veras county to cut oak wood for fuel.
They expected TO make something like
$50 or $40 each per month during the
winter by the sale Of the wood They
made their home In an old abandoned
miners cabin. A heavy fall OF snow
had covered the ground to the depth OF
two or more feet.
One day the two men built a great
bonhre OF brush. The heat melted the
snow ana left an area OF hot earth.
Becker determined TO make an oven
out OF the hot ground. and. securing a
haunch OF deer meat, he began the
digging of n hole IN which TO bake
It. At the depth Of two feet he
came upon bed OF rock lie had been
n prospector too long to resist the temp
tation Of examining the rock. and, ac-
cordlngly, before placing the meat In
the hole he broke on n piece OF the
rock.
Then, after the yenlson was buried
and roasted, he examined the broken
bit OF rock carefully by the light OF his
cabin candle. TO his very great aston
ishment, Il proved TO be what miners
call live rock, assaylng 5000 to the ton.
For several months Becker and Trim
mer kept their great find a secret. IN
the meantime gathering information
concerning the dip angle and length
and breadth OF their new discovered
ledge. Within a year from its dlscov-
cry this mine had made Becker and

An overeautIoun VIC

An incident occurred at the redemp-
ton bureau Of the treasury which
ought 10 be a warning to wives. A
woman in New England placed $4S In
bank bills in the oven OF the kitchen
stove in order TO hide it from her hus-
band She forgot TO take It out. and in
the morning he kindled a hot fire and
reduced the money 10 a crisp before
his wife remembered where it was.
She picked up the ashes. enough TO
half MI a wineglass, put them In a lit
tie box and sent them down to Wash
ington to be redeemed. The experts,
by the use of magnifylng glasses, iden-
tilted the bills to the amount Of $50
and sent her that money, but 1t cost
her SO to fool her husband, and she
will probably not try it again.-Chicago
