Laying masonry in freezing weather

substance recently brought out in Ger.
many, sage the Engineering News. The
substance is a liquid, which, when
mixed with the water used in making
up the mortar, enables the latter to set
properly even in the coolest winter
weather. It is claimed that mortar
made with the addition OF the new
substance shows even slightly greater
strength than mortar made up with
water. The liquid, which is marketed
under the name "Calcidum," is a solu-
ton of chlorite of calcium, and has Il
freezing point far below zero. 1t is

MAN WALKED IN.
Woman was all Alone Recognized him as
a Neighbor.

Saturday night a man, very much
intoxicated, raped on a front door of
a house on Broadway, and finding
that no one opened the door for him
to enter, took the liberty of opening
1t himself, and opened also the parlor
door and walked in. The lady Of the
house WINS not aware that the door
was unlocked ana when she heard the
doors opened, waited a minute. think.

before opening the door leading from
the dining room. When she finally
did SO she could see that q strange
man was in the parlor.
The light was turned low in the
dining room and the front room en-
tirely dark as the lady was getting
ready to go out. She was all alone
and much frightened. She ordered
the man to leave the house and seeing
he made no attempt to do So, closed
the door between the rooms and order
ed him again to go. Knowing that
she could not fasten the door between
the rooms she mustered up courage to
open the door again, when she found
the mar had CROPPED his way almost
to the closed door. She again told
him to 60 out of the house and as he
muttered something and the light
shone on Linn, she perceived that it
was q man who lived on the next
street. In spite of her fright, she
took him by the shoulder and turned
him around and pushed him step by
step to the front door and out of the
house. By that time she was so I'M
nerved that she did not recover from
the effect of the fright for an hour
and suffered afterward with headache.

Persons who become fretful over the

The Press declares that recently z Gulf

Beaumont nearly three years late, and
explains the matter as follows:
The train left Bolivar, just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, on Sep
,ember g, 1900, and was caught in the
great storm which so nearly destroyed
Galveston. Bolivar is rs miles from
Beaumont. Before the train had tray
eled far on its journey it was caught in
the storm. Thirty miles of the trac1
were washed away, and the train was
left stranded en- a sandy waste.
Dozens of persons who lived on Bell
var peninsula were saved from death
BY taking refuge in the train. After
the storm subsidized they walked to
Bolivar with the passengers. But the
abandoned train wac left on the prairie.
The storm banI1rupted the railroad,
and no effort to rescue the engine and
cars was made until recently. Had the
road not suffered go seriously in that
storm the property would have proved
of great value q few months later. when
oil was struck at Beaumont. The road
is now undergoing repairs and develop

was drawn into Beaumont. where it was
greeted by a cheering multitude.
