Work Begun to Preserve Those in tho
Historic Hancock Cemetery.
In accordance with vote passed re-
Gently by the city council of Quincy,
the city engineer of that place has
begun to make an accurate plan of the
old historic Hancock cemetery in City
square, says the Boston Transcript.
This burying ground is nearly 25O
years old and contains many quaint
headstones, the Inscriptions on which
are fast becoming obliterated.- Every
stone and tomb in the cemetery will
now be numbered and an accurate rec
ord Of the names on each will be kept.
This little cemetery, situated in the
heart of the city, probably contains
the remains Of more illustrious people
of revolutionary times than any other
one burial spot around Boston. The
first headstone of which there is any
record was erected to the memory Of
the Rev. William Thompson, the first
minister of the old First Meeting
house, in 1866 The first tomb in the
place was built in 1875 for. DIR. Leon
ard Hoar, third president Of Harvard
College and an ancestor Of Senator
George F. Hoar. The second tomb
was built in 1869, and was for Ed
mund Quincy, one of the first Of that
ilIustrious name In this country.
In this cemetery are buried the Rev.
John Hancock, once pastor of the
First Church across the way, and
father of Governor John Hancock of
revolutionary fame, who married 'Dor-
othy o." Henry Adams, who fed from
the dragon persecution in Devonshire,
England, and also his son, Joseph
Adams, who was one of the original
proprfetors of the township of Brain
tree and members Of the Quincy fam
lily, almost without number, are buried
there, as are many members OF the
Hoar family. On marble slab which
covers the graves Of the Quincy fam
lily is the family coat-of-arms, cut In
slate stone, resembling lead. This took
the place OF the original coat-of-arms,
which was cast out Of lead, and which
was. during the days OF the revoiu-
tionary war, cut from the tombstone
and melted into bullets.
5 It was in this old cemetery that
President John Adams was buried un-
til his later tomb under the First
Church was ready to receive his body.

Immense Propositions Which Our Man
ufacturers Have Attained.
Few Americans have an adequate
conception OF the greatness and i'm
portance Of the manufacturing inter-
ests of the country. In fact, 1t Is al
most impossible to conceive 1t. even
when we read In the census reports
that there are more than half million
establishments for the manufacture of
some article of commerce. And these
Establishments are using capital to the
amount of SO, ,S35 ,OS6, 300, and employ
ing 307,174 clerks and officials and
wage earners to the number of 6,316,-
802.
But if the mind refuses this high hur-
die what, is the mental condition of the
fellow who tries to jump the fact that
$7.84S, ,144,75 worth OF raw material
is consumed annually by this array of
factories, and makes out of this ma
terial manufactured products worth
altogether S13. 14,2S7, ,493? That sum
is nearly ten times the authorized capt.
talization of the greatest corporation

straw In Egyptian Brick.

The ancient Egyptians had process
for making bricks which rendered
them very hard, yet easy to work. An
American engineer, Mr.. Acheson,
thinks he has discovered their secret.
The Egyptians used straw and by boil
ing straw in water and mixing clay
with it he found that it gave hard,
shapely bricks that did not crack or
deform in baking. Analysis proved
the effect due to tannin dissolved In
water. Further experiments showed
that from one-half to per cent of
the tannin of commerce added to the
resistance Of the brick. The process
also economies water and such
bricks dried In the sun are even more
solid than those Of the kiln.--London
