A PRACTICAL MACHINE
For The Construction Of Cement
Blocks for Building Purposes.

W.G. Yates has on exhibition in this
city aconcrete block building machine
manufactured by the Auburn Concrete
Machinery Works of Auburn, Ind AS
indicaten by the name the machine is
for the purpose of manufacturing
blocks for building purposes and from
the fact that it is being widely adopted
has had opportunity to be proven tho
roughly practical. The use Of cement
for building purposes is becoming very
extensive of late owing to its compare
tive lcheapness and great durability
ahd this machine seems to be just the
thing to hurry along the industry. The
machine is very simple in its construc-
ton and at the same time is the acme
of perfection of machines of its kind.
1t has a capacity of $50 blocks day
when operated by three men. The
product is a handsome block of great
durability measuring Sx8-l6 One inn
portant feature of the machine is that
it is SO constructed that the block can
be faced with finer grade of material
than the balance of the block and be
of any desired color. There are also
various molds for the facing OF the
block so that the product is of various
designs, to suit the taste of the build
ers. AS to the cost of buildings from
cement, it is everywhere as cheap as
other building material and much
cheaper when brick is high. There is
no question but that buildings of this
product are handsome and the test
given them in the Baltimore fire show
that they rank first in resisting the ra-
wages OF fire. The cement block is an
intensely popular thing farther east
and everywhere cement cities are being
built up. knowledge Of its usefulness
israpidly spreading over the west. Mr..
Yates will be glad to show the workings
OF the machine, of which there are three
sizes, to any one who is interested.

Is 1t a Wedge or an Arrow 2

The shape of peninsulas and CULTS
has often had an important bearing
on political affairs, but seldom more
than in that part of Asia which is to.
day the storm center of the worlds
diplomacy.
Have you ever noticed how the
Korean peninsula extends southwark
toward the Japanese archipelago
This "lay of the land" has led
Japanese statesmen to describe
Korea as "the arrow pointing at oul
hearts,"
From the Russian point of view
Korea separates Vladivostok, which
looks through the spacious Japanese
sea direct to the Pacific, from Russia's
newer bases at Port Arthur and
Dalny. Their outlet to the ocean, is
by the Yellow Sea. 1t is long way
round through the Strait of Korea
which the Russians call the "Yellow
Bosphorus," and ships making the
journey pass almost within sight OF
Japan. Hence the Russians describe
Korea as "the wedge" driven be.
tween their older possessions on the
Asiatic coast and the new.
The ambitions of the nations are
thus focusing about Korea Bay and
the Gulf of Pechili, which are ives,
of the peninsula and open into the
Yellow Sea. Beside the Japanese.
Russian interest, there lie on the
south the German sphere of infuenc,
