ALL WORK AND NO PLAY.

Nearly one-third of the paper pro-
duced in the United States during the
first six months of 1898 was newspa-
per in rolls and sheets.
A large trade is done in Germany in
artificial sponges, which are produced
by patented process depending prin-
cipally. on the action of zinc chloride
solution on pure cellulose.
A series of experiments made at Kiel
during the last two years have shown
that of all metals used in shipbuilding
an amalgam of iron and zinc is least
subject to deterioration from the in
fiuence of sea water.
Manufacturers of structural iron saw
that within a short time oil the more
costly private houses, at least in the
cities, will abandon wood, excepting
for the most trivial use, and will make
use OF structural iron for the frame
work and the beams that support the.
flooring.

This monument stands on the site OF
the first three churches built by the
colonists. Just behind IL. properly
