A Defense In London Paper Of
American Spelling. .2&
A United States citizen Of consider
able scientific attachments was good
enough to give to q representative of
the Daily Graphic what may be called
the American view Of British spelling.
II see," he remarked, that some Of
the correspondents of the Daily Graph
ic have been complaining Of the dis
lgurement Of English books by Ameri-
can spelling. I should like to tell you
that we think our way Is right and
that your way is wrong, and perhaps
your editor will not mind If venture
on few remarks in defense of our
corrections. For example, we write
favor and Honor Well, favor and
honor are nearer the Latin original
than favour and honour which have
acquired their unnecessary ~ by COM
ing through the French
"But if they have been spelled hon
our and favour for centuries, why
change them nowY'
''Why not? They were as often spell
ed favor and honor in Shakespeare's
day as favour and honour You must
remember that spelling was extremely
uncertain in those Elizabethan days.
whence we are believed to have drawn
the well Of English undefiled. Ben
Jonson and Shakespeare. for example,
spell 'recede' in four other ways-'re-
cead,' 'receade,' 'receed,' 'receede'"
"Let us leave honour How do you
defend 'center?"
"Why should you spell it. centre
when you write perimenter' and 'di-
ameter' and when Shakespeare wrote
'scepterT BY history and analogy cen

centre Then again." continued the
United States citizen, warming up to
his subject, you write 'criticise,' and
we write Criticize but our version
harks back to the Greek original; you
write almanac but why don't you
write salmanack,' which is more ar
chaic? You blame us for program but
you put down dram without 'scruple
Many English people write tyre for
tire which any phililogist knows to
be gross error, and almost every Eng

Wagon instead of wagon You
know what Horace Greeley said when
he was reproached for making that
mistake. He said he had been taught
spelling in the good old times, when
people built Wagons heavier."-Lon-

= Trace Your Family Tree,

A pleasant pastime - literally - for
those who have no more pressing du-
ties and wish to get outside their en-
vironment at least in thought will open
up before her who begins to mount a

. matter Of absorbing amusement and
attention, for it entails a thread gath

to write, a book to read, register to
consult. To the self absorbed, the de-
spondent, the listless, one may recon-
mend this diversion as certain to suit
even rather morbid conditions Of tenn
permanent and yet as certain to gently
force the mind away from itself to 9th

Kimberley Siege Babies.

During Lord Roberts tour in South
Africa he CHANGED to be In Kimberley
on his seventy second birthday, and
the people Of that city presented him
with pair of diamonds. One of the
"siege babies" a boy of four years,
made the presentation speech. During
the siege Of Kimberley by the Beers
about fifty babies were born. Lord
Roberts had his photograph taken in
the midst Of the "siege babies" on the
steps Of the town hall. Most Of the
"siege babies" bear names recalling tho
war. Thus, while French, !" Butler"
''Methuen, !" "Bobs" and "Kekewich'
were used, Rhodes was even more
frequently used, and "Siege'' seems to
have been most popular OF all. ~

they are in an irrigated valley. If the
United States finds it worth while to
spend many millions on reclamation
projects to afford homes to settlers
Minnesota would find it worth while to
spend few thousand in securing set
tiers on lands that need NO irrigation.
And just as the irrigation act will have
to be supplemented by legislation to
throw the irrigated areas into the
hands of real settlers so Minnesota
should see to it that it's lands pass into
the hands of real settlers directly with
out the payment of tribute to middle
men and spectators.

SENATORS AT WORK.

Are Interested at Washington.
The Washington correspondent of
The Grand Forks Herald writes:
The members of the North Dakota
delegation are getting busy" laying
their plans to secure some of the
funds deposited in the national treas
ury, for public improvements in the
state. AS soon as the omnibus ap-
preparation bills are taken up by the
committee the delegation will COM
mence action. At present they are
merely formulating plans. Senator
Hansbrough will hold a meeting of the
senate committee on public lands
shortly and dispose of all matters
pending before that committee. He
still has hopes that the house will pass
his bill amendatory of the timber and
stone act.
Senator McCumber has started the
pension grist mill, in the committee
room over which he presides, running.
and the pension bills are now being
reported at rapid rate. The fact
that his successor will be elected by
the legislature does not seem to cause
him any uneasiness whatever. The
senator appears to be confident that
he will succeed himself.
The Herald correspondent called at
his committee room the other day and
found the senator busily engaged in
his private Office. 1 asked him What
measures he was particularly interest
ed in now pending before congress.
He replied:
"The pure food bill is a measure in
which I am greatly interested, and I
believe the people of the country are
greatly interested in seeing it enacted
into law. To prevent the adulteration
OF food and thus protect the citizens
of this country from the use of spuri-
GUS articles is one of the greatest i'm
portance to my mind. know of no
other law congress could enact that
would be more direct benefit to the
people.
Il shall certainly call up my grain
bill which is of great Importance to
the people Of the northwest, and en-
deavor to secure some action on it.
II have another bill pending" said
the senator, (which 1 hope will be-
come law at this session of congress.
providing for the purchase of a site
and the erection of building thereon
at Shanghai, China, in which Ameri-
can goods can be exhibited to the peo-
pie Of the Orient. This has been rec
commended by the consuls at Shang-
hal and Hong Kong, and I believe that
by properly exhibiting American made
goods our commerce with the Orient
would greatly increase. And did YOU
ever stop to think" continued the SEN
ator, that China will shortly become
the greatest market for foreign made
goods to be found anywhere on the
globe! If we can induce the four or
five hundred million people of China
to use American clothes, American
machinery and American wares of all
kinds, think of the market we will
have. Germany, France, England,
and all of the European countries
have been for years endeavorins in
every possible way to extend their
commerce with China America
should avail herself of every oppor-
tunlty to extend her foreign trade with
the Orient. believe, with the
foreign consuls, that the best way to
accomplish this is the establishment
OF buildings in which our products can
be exhibited, so the merchants in the
interior towns can go and see and ex.
anime them"

PERTH AMBOY
CEMENT, o AND ROOF.
ING TILE CO..

One of Perth Amboy's most import
ant industries is that of The Perth
Amboy Cement Stone and Roofing
Tile Co., lately organized for the
manufacture of the products which its
name implies, viz: cement stone and
roofing tile.
While cement stone or building
blocks have always been known as
the best building material ever pro-
duced, its use in this country haSbeen
limited owing to the fact that dptto a
few years ago good cement was not
produced in this country, and import
ed cement was too expensive for the
purpose.
The United States has, however,
now taken her place at the head of
the cement producing nations and
now all eyes are turned to cement as
no only the best but one of the cheap
est building materials known.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

the art of cement making was known
to the ancients in Pompeii and
Nineveh, who built their palaces of
this material, and those structures,
although in ruins, show that decay is
unknown. You can be a benefactor
of posterity, for whatever structures
you may erect Of cement blocks will
stand n thousand years without any
sign of age or decay.
With these blocks there can be no
fear of fire or vermin. When using
them for inside work there is a per-
feet ventilation. We would advise
putting in registers, one on each side
and end of the house; also register
inside Of each room then you can
secure perfect ventilation without
draughts from the windows. BE sure
to put in registers inside and outside.

quires no lathing. BY giving the

Cement or Pearl Wall Plaster, you

Mr. c. c. Christensen has lately
invented and patented a new kind Of
roofing tile, made of cement. This
roofing has all the advantages of
slate, without its disadvantages.
1t is cheaper, more durable, costs
less for repair, is easier to lay, lighter,
and in every respect the best roofing
known. A novel feature of this new
roofing, as made under Mr.. Christen-
sens patent, are that no nails are
used in laying it. Thus making an
absolutely water-tight roof.
Different coloring matter is used
in its manufacture, making it possible
to use a VARIETY of colors on the same
roof. Very artistic designs are fur
nished free to buyers by the manu-
~facturer Mr.. Christensen also sells
the machines used in the manufacture
of this new roofing product, under
his patents.
The following description of cement
tile roofing appeared in "Municipa'
Engineering" the leading publication
of its kind in this country:

Mr.. John Dayton, registered archi-

a young man, is highly successful in
his chosen avocation. MI. Dayton

1902. Some of the prominent
buildings erected from plans drawn
by him are the handsome Wehler
Hall, the Adelaide Building and the
Ellie Building, on State street, the
Pratt and the Palmer Buildings, the
Boston Building, now being con-
structed. Mr.. Dayton is also part
ner with S. Dayton in the constructing
business. Being in actual business
only since March 9TH, his rapid
success is remarkable.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-07-14

Mr.. c. c. Christensen of this city,
noting the great demand for this pro-
duct, recently organized The Perth
'Amboy Cement Stone and Roofing
Tile Co. Two factories have been
built employing a large force of men
and the company is in a position to
furnish either the cement blocks or
the machines used in their manufac-
ture. :
The uses for these blocks cover the
whole field of building in every de-
partment, from palaces, houses, fac
tories, barns and warehouses.
There is no size or shape which
cannot be produced.
The consideration which makes
buildings erected of cement blocks
more preferable than those buildings
erected of stone or wood is that they
are as handsome, fire and frost proof,
warmer in winter, cooler in summer,
and cost less to construct. The SAM
tary conditions are superior.
Cement blocks do not decay, and

comparatively new use for cement
is the making of roofing tile. The
latest development in this line has
been made by Mr.. c. c. Christensen,
the president of the Perth Amboy
Cement, Stone and Roofing Tile
Company, of Perth Amboy, n. ].
He makes the tiles square, of one
square foot net area, with raised
ridges on two edges on the under
side and corresponding indentations
on two edges on the upper side, SO
that the tiles fit tightly and are water
proof. They are set diagonally.
Different coloring matters a be
used so that patterns or lettering can
be set out on the roof if desired. The
weight of the cement tile roof is found
to be one half-pound lighter than the
best slate roof. One of the accom-
panying views shows the machine

smooth working qualities; is tough,
elastic and strong and is recognized
by the leading architects and con-
tractors as the standard of the best
mortar now on the market.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HOL-
LOW CEMENT BLOCKS
Buildings constructed of these
blocks stand for ages without need of
repair. They become more substan-
tial with age, whereas buildings con-
structed of other materials, diminish
in strength.
Briefly stated, the advantages are =:
saving in cost of construction, cost
less to heat, require no painting or
lathing and are free from rats, mice
and other vermin.
Being fire-proof, the insurance is
less than for any other style of build
ing.
These blocks can be laid in almost
one-half the time that brick can be
laid and the mortar required is far
less.
