It is not entirely new to render loose

ORIGINATING it with thin fluid cement,
which binds with the sand and forms
a sufficiently hard concrete mass to
serve as a foundation; but this process
is always dependent upon certain con-
ditions. Thus, for instance, the soil
must contain no water, because the
water fills out the interstices of the
sand and renders the penetration of
the cement dificult, and, in addition
to this, the water still further dilutes
the cement, which is thin fluid already.
so that it is impossible for the cement
to bind and form a good foundation.
Now zones a Russian inventor with an
apparatus to exhaust the water from
the soil simultaneously with the fore.

enables the cement to be properly dis

to force 1t into the soil with less pres

roosts. The invention is a simple one,
consisting of a single piece Of wire,
which is formed into a loop near one
end, with the shorter end formed into
a screw to aid in inserting it in the
wooden roost. The longer end Is not
bent to its final position until after
the screw is inserted in the wood,
when the loose end is twisted into the
location shown, below the roost. It
is an easy matter to attach a small
rag or a piece of sponge to the depend
ing end, which can be saturated from
time to time with any liquid vermicide,
and tile vaporizing of this liquid will
serve not only to keep the vermin
from crawling over the roosts, but
drive the lice from the bodies of the
fowls, as the odor will permeate the
feathers when the birds are on the
roosts at night. The inventor Of this
device is John H. F. Eversz, of Walla
Walla, Wash.

Masons will appreciate the humor
Of this story: Few men in Brooklyn
were better known or more liked than
Sherlock, proprietor of The Abbey, an
enormously fat Amphitryon, whose
feasts were never interrupted by Of
fcious Jupiters. When Sherlock was
initiated into his lodge in Brooklyn
the night was fearfully hot. On that
famous pilgrimage to Jerusalem which
all initiates are required to make his
perspiration rolled of in torrents,
leaving a watery trial behind him.
Embodied he staggered along, in
wardly praying for relief. The con-
ductor, not shortening the Journey an
iota, but rather drawing out the
agony, happened to be an old ac-
quaintance Of Sherlock, who finally
recognized his voice. When he said:
Nov, gentlemen"-there were sever
al initiates in the party-"your Jour
ney is nearly ended; You are within
40 miles Of Jerusalem" Sherlock
gasped, George, don't you think we'd
better hire a cab?" The utter weari-
ness, ~wretchedness, anguish and de
spair in the voice caused an explosion
that broke up the ceremony.-New

for Use.
combustIble holder. the Cartridge be-
ing thrown away after the contents
are burned.
The holder consists Of a metallic or
asbestos tube, with a coiled spring
mounted al the base of the opening
and air ducts leading from the mouth
piece to the outer end OF the tube. The
outer end is fitted with a conical cap
having slanting sides to hold the to-
bacco in the cartridge against the
pressure Of the spring inside the tube.
The cartridges are to be furnished in
quantity, either loaded or empty as
tn smoker may desire.
To place a charge In the tube the
outer cap is removed and the cart
ridge inserted and pressed downward
until the spring is contracted, when
the cap is replaced. The cigarette is
then lighted through the perforation
In the cap and the smoke drawn
through the air ducts to the mouth.
AS fast as the tobacco is consumed the
spring forces the ashes out Of the cap
and renews the supply Of the weed In
proximity to the air ducts. When the
cartridge has been emptied the cap is
again removed and the empty tube
thrown out. The tubes are made with
a slight taper toward the rear end, in
order that the spring may slide the to-
bacco from the tube without clogging.

probable scarcity in the monkey mar
ket have combined to do away with
the conical little creature, which has
always been a children's favorite. The
question asked above was suggested
by an unusual sight seen on lower
Fulton street this morning, says the
Brooklyn Times. An organ grinder
with n Of the old-style instruments,
which always, in the reporters boy
hood days, not so long gone by, was
accompanied by a monk" passed by
on his way to the upper residential
districts. Instead of a monkey, how
ever, he had with him a pug dog,
which he led by a string. In answer
to a question by the reporter the or
gan grinder said:
"Da monk he maka da lot trooble;

and "a monk IN. ! pay da lot mon

This explanation was perfectly sat
isfactory to the organ grinder, who
evidently gets as many pennies VITA
the dog as an attraction as he woEld
with a monkey, but the reporter could
not refrain from thinking of Mickey
Finn, and quoting;
