Cement.

The difference between the two we'll
known varieties of cement, the Rosen-
dale and the Portland. lies in the fact
that the first named is natural prod
uct and the latter an artificial. The
former is made by burning shaly
limestone in kilns and grinding the
clinker produced with bur stones to
very fine powder. which. when mix
ed with water, soon sets and forms
an artificial stone nearly as hard as
the original rock. Portland cement.
on the other hand. is made by COM
bining chalk or some other form of
limestone free from magnesia with
siliceous clay. these materials being in
timately mixed and made into bricks.
which are burned in kilns with coke
fuels at a very intense heat. The re-
sulting clinker is ground in the same
manner as natural cement and is much
stronger and sets quicker than the
other.

however. faithful to her word. as soon
as her wounds had healed went to the
king and told him of this atrocious
cruelty.
James heard. her with mingled pity

Fishing For Sea Fowl,

Catching gulls and other sea fowl by
baited hook and line is barbarous
practice which is sometimes resorted
to by sailors. The same method was
employed in former times for catching
herons. A, long line Of silk. with a
strand Of wire twisted in, was fixed to
stone at one end and to hooks at the
other. The bait was then put out in
shallow water, where the birds seek
their food. either in a stream or at the
edge of pond. When the heron pouch
ed the bait the hooks lodged in his gull
let, and the strand Of wire in the line
prevented it from being bitten through.
