New Flooring Material.

United States Consul Morgan at Lucerne
has made a report to the State Department
in regard to a new flooring material, which
is regarded of special value in building OPP
erations. The new system was invented by
Architect Stewart at Lucerne, and consists
of hollow tubes of mortar and iron, and is
said to be fireproof. Mortar Is manufac-
tured into hollow beams suitable for floors
and roofs. which beams are laid together
on the supporting walls without planking.
BY this means one floor after another can
be laid in a very short time, and floor so
laid can be used to work upon at once with
out scaffolding. An advantage claimed for
the system is that it can be operated by
ordinary laborers, and another is that 1t is
much easier to secure uniformity and to
protect the beams against weather condi-
lions than is possible under the old condi-
lions requiring the use of stone, plaster,
etc. Other advantages claimed for these
beams are great supporting power and Sc
curity from fire, great facility and speed
In building, freedom from excess of heat
and cold by reason of their being hollow
reducing the thickness of floors, and the
possibility of their use in heating by send
ing warm air through them.
There are already a large number of
buildings, public and private, in Switzer-
land in which these beams have been sue
cessfully employed. and their use is being
gradually extended throughout Europe.

the schools will compare favorably with
some of the American city primary schools.
In every civilized settlement there Is a gov
eminent school. 1t is now proposed to open
a school in every large native settlement
near the cities.
Liberia College was closed for two or
three years prior to 1898. The legislature
of that year passed an act making lib
eral appropriation for It's support and en-
and the college was reopened in 1899. Its
work has gone on improving each year,
until now it has four regular college
classes. The senior class to be graduated
soon is composed of six most promising
negro youths. The sophomore class con-
tains six young women--daughters of prom
inent families These are the first females
ever entered at Liberia College. The en-
tire number of students in the college is
100, of which 10 are in the preparatory
department
the government, a number of educational
institutions are conducted by the represen-
tatives of various churches and societies of
the United States and other countries,
among which are those of the Protestant
Episcopal Church at Cape Palmas and
Cape Mount; the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Monrovia and at White Plains;
the Lutherans at Muellenburg Station, on
the st. Paul river, and those of the Pres
byterians, Baptists, and African Methodist
Episcopal Church.
1.-The one thing lacking to complete the
system is a first-class industrial school,
cattle raising, etc. could be made. Such
an institution would be far reaching in its
effect on the advancement of the African
people"

EDUCATION IN LIBERIA.
Rapid Progress Has Been Made in the
Last Five Years.

Mr.. James r. Sturgeon. United States
charge at Monrovia. has made a report to
the State Department showing that educa-
ton is making favorable progress among
the people of Liberia. within the last
five years" says he, "the educational prog
ress of Liberia has been very rapid and to-
day conditions will compare favorably with
those of any country with similar oppor-
tunities. The credit for this gratifying sit
uation is due primarily to the interest and
efforts of the officials of the Liberian gov
eminent aided by the Colonization Society
of the city of Washington, d. c., the New
York Colonization Society, and the Boston
Board of the College of Liberia. These
several forces have directed the educational
system of the republic with such intelligent
effort that in many sections the public
school system is equal in effectiveness to
that of many sections of the United States.

A Mountain Of Alum,

Consul General Guenther at Frankfort
has reported to the State Department that
an alum mountain" exists in China, which
is not only noted as natural phenomenon
but is also source Of wealth for the peo-
pie of its vicinity. as they annually take
many tons of alum from it. The mountain
is said to have a circumference at the base
of not less than ten miles, and is nearly
1900 feet high. The alum is quarried In
immense blocks, is then heated in large
ovens and afterward dissolved in boiling
water. From this liquid the alum crystal
ICES in layers of about half foot in thick
ness. which are cut up in blocks Of ten
pounds each. The Chinese use 1t mainly
for purifying water.

Complaints Against Attorneys.

Mr.. John R. Young clerk of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia, has had
printed in the form of circular the more
important of certain amendments recently
made to the rules of the court. One of the
provisions relating to attorneys is of par
ticular interest. The court directs that
whenever a complafnt shall be made in
writing and signed by The party complain
ing, charging any member of the bar of
the District Supreme Court with profess
sional misconduct and sach complaint shall
be brought to the attention Of the United
States attorney. he shall Investigate the
same and If probable cause for such COM
plant shall be found he shall formulate and
present to the court In general term charges
and specifications against such member.
Thereupon an order shall be made by the
court and copy served upon the member
by the marshal, requiring the accused to
appear and answer atga time designated,
and show cause why he should not be sus-
pended or disbarred. At such hearing he
may be represented by counsel, and the
United States attorney either in person or
by an assistant shall be present as pros
ecutor.

They are not asylums or charitable in
situations, but are organized in accord
ance with the principles of commercial
philanthropy; that is to say, that although
intended to benefit the poorer classes,
they are expected to pay a fair dlVldeno
of, say, per cent, as commercial spec
ulation. The first of these houses was
erected in VauXhall, London, in 1892, at
a cost of some 100000, by Lord Rowton
himself, and provided accommodation for
470 persons.
The venture having proved success
full one, a company was formed to deal
with the building of others, and since
that date four more have been opened in
London which have also been successful
and yielded the dividend sought for. The
Rowton House builders have today a
capital of quarter of a million pounds.

of ShafteSbury, and 1t was perhaps his
uncle's example which inspired him to

Evening Dress at Theater.
A discussion has been opened by Mr..
George Alexander In the LONDON daily
papers concerning the desirability of en-
forcing evening dress at the theater. Mr..
Alexander prefers to leave the matter to
the good taste of his patrons, and this, as
a matter of fact, is the system at present
adopted at all the London playhouses.
1t is true that it is very rarely indeed
that a man is seen in the stalls in morn
ing attire; but there is no theatrical rule
against it, except at the opera, where on
every ticket is printed evening dress in

is no such rule, and in the dress circle
and upper circle morning attire is fire.
auently worn, for example, by men who,
being engaged in business, have not had
time to go home (perhaps suburban
home) and change.
The only theatrical regulation as to
dress is that in the dress seats ladies are
not allowed to wear bonnets. Regular
playgoers would, indeed, welcome rule
forbidding the wearing of hats and bon
nets in any part of the house, whether at
afternoon or evening performances, for
the enormous structures on ladies' heads
effectually block the view to women and
men alike.
The only difficulty in adopting such
regulation lies in the fact that In so
many theaters there is not sufficient ac-
commodation in the ladies' rooms for the
proper storage of their headgear. At the
Wagner Cycles at Covent Garden last
summer the rule was, however, enforced
with gratifying results, no bonnets or
hats being allowed even in the gallery

From the Kansas City Journal.
The novelist Thomas A. Janvier has lived
for a number of years in France and has
collected many folk tales and anecdotes Of
the French peasantry.
Il heard story OF physician the other
day." Mr.. Janvier said recently. He was
a physician of Provence, and one morning.
stopping his gig, he entered into conde-
scending talk with tombstone maker.
while the talk went on the tombstone
man did not cease to work. He had a chisel
in one hand and mallet in the other. He
was carving upon his tombstones the words,
Sacred to the memory of - and the
rest he would leave blank.
This proceeding, for some reason,
amused the physician. Watching the stone
cutter. he laughed heartily.
Why said the other, do you laugh7'
Because your way of work amuses me-
the physician said. Do you always cut
upon your headstones the beginning Of the
obituary and then wait?
No said the stonecutter, not always.
