Concrete Piling.

In very moist ground wooden piles
will soon rot. At the barracks in
Washington, where some plllng had to
be used, in ground which is alternate
ly wet and dry, concrete piling has
been resorted to, and this is described
as follows by the Scientific American !:
A preparatory tube, consisting OF a
length of extra heavy iron pipe, fitted
with driving head OF oak, and con.
ical steel point of a somewhat larger
diameter than the pipe, is driven into
the ground to the required depth, and
thereupon withdrawn. The hole form
ed Is filled with well-rammed concrete.
Obviously, any desired length of pile
can be obtained by driving the outer
tube deep enough into the ground ;
and obviously that outer tube can be
removed with but fraction OF the
force required in pulling out or plant
ing the ordinary pile. After the
rammed concrete has once set, the pile
becomes literally a pillar of stone
The frictional hold of the pile is much
augmented, because the larger pieces
of the aggre gate are forced into the
sides of the hole, thereby forming in
Vulnerable lateral anchors. We are In
formed that a pile of this type. IA
inches in diameter and Ii feet 2 inches
in length, successfully sustained a
direct pressure of more than 81 tons OF
pig iron for period of ten days with.
out any signs OF settling.
1t sometimes happens that the fixed
steel point cannot be used to advantage.
Particularly is this the case where the
earth is soft or marshy, or where quick
sand or water is encountered. For this
purpose, a detachable point OF concrete
is substituted for the fixed steel point,
ana driven to the required depth. As
the pipe Is lifted out, concrete is
rammed home through the pipe. A
head of concrete is maintained inside
the pipe while it Is being gradually
withdrawn. In this manner, all water
is displaced. and the closing in of the
sides of the aperture is ayolded.

Diets Of Amer; cans.

Golfers Weekly.
The census shows that Americans
are becoming addicted to less meat and
more vegetables, cereals, and products
of the dairy. 1t is figured out that in
1850 hundred Americans ate 9i
sheep, 11S hogs, and % beeves, where
as, in 1900, they consumed but 30
sheep, 43 hogs, and 20 beeves. Cheese
has declined, but If eggs and poultry
are included with butter and milk as
belonging to the dairy class, the con-
sumption of that kind of food is three
times what 1t was forty years ago, The
total use of meat, reckoned by the
price, Is reduced to 36 per cent. In
1850 one hundred persons ate I3O
bushels of wheat and 80 bushels 4
oats. In 1890 they ate G23 bushei, OF
wheat and 1856 bushels Of oats, and l.,
1890 the breakfast food movement aas

potatoes have increased about like
wheat. The general gain in vegetable
expense is 80 per cent. Meat stiIl
leads, however, although 1t apparently
will not do so long. We spent In 1900
81 ,625, 100000 for meat and $500
100000 for vegetable diet. Among
meats beef leads, by long distai ce,
with sheep second and eggs third.
Americans have grown healthier IN

cooking and sanitation. The general
question of the best relation OF mel. to
