Straw in Egyptian Brick.

The ancient Egyptians had a 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 1t 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 1 per cent Of
the tannin of commerce added to the
resistance Of the brick. The process

bricks dried in the sun are even more
solid than those Of the kiln.-London

CAPT. o. NJ. GARTER Carter, w b o
trial made him an international figure,
was given the position of bookkeeper
when he first entered the military pris-
on. The work was light and could be
quickly finished, which left the former
captain many leisure hours, which he
spent in b%rooding over his troubles.
He became extremely nervous and was
fast becoming a physical and mental
wreck when he was placed in charge
of the flower gardens and lawns. This
work occupied most Of his time and
he improved in health. Later he was
placed in the prison hospital, where he
acted as nurse and kept up records for
the physicians.
Carter, during his incarceration,
never associated with any prisoner,
aside from Captain Deming, another
army officer prisoner. who was re-
leased on habeas corpus some time
since. He was, however, always kind
to prisoners who were injured or iii.
He has been a model prisoner himself
and has won the respect of all the
officials at the penitentiary.
Carter has sued the government for
$723 ZOO. on the grounds that he was
unjustly convicted by the military tri-
bunal. By winning this suit he will
claim a vindication from first to last
Carter alleges he never would have
been convicted in a civil court. and
that he was the victim of prejudice on
the part of several officers who were
members of the court martial. He pro-
claimed at one time that he was .
martyr to military injustice and com
pared himself to the French army cap
tain, Dreyfus. The suit will come up
in Chicago.
During the last year the ex-captain
has been studying mining engineering,
and if he be successful. in his suit he
proposes to spend considerable time in
Arizona and New Mexico, where he
and his uncle, l.. d. Carter, of Dan
vile. Kan, have extensive interests.

The advertising story of State street,
Chicago, can not be told in a few
words. From Randolph street on the
north to Harrison street on the south,
comprising seven blocks on State
street, the principal dry goods, cloth
ing, shoe, jewelry and department
stores are now located. Less than
thirty years ago the largest space used
by any merchant in Chicago, in any
of our daily papers, was one-half of a
single column; and the largest amount
paid by any merchant or firm to any
one paper for a years advertising did
not exceed $1,000. During the past
year a number of State street mer-
chants have each paid from $4,000 to
100000 for advertising used in single
dailies, and a careful, conservative
estimate of the aggregate mount paid
for advertising in Chicago dailies dur
ing the past year, by merchants in the
seven blocks named, reaches the grand
total of over $2,000,000. Full ninety
five per cent. Of this amount was borne
by fourteen leading advertisers. This
immense volume of advertising in Chi
cago dailies has been built up practi-
cally since 1883, a period of but twenty
years.-Mahin's Magazine.

SMALL FARMING in EULA.

The Advertiser has besn forced to
swallow rebuke of z G Atherton
OF its "small farmer" policy. Mr.
Atherton is sensible man, close
observer and he's bsen all over one
of the few districts: OF the Islands
(Kula) where there had been a rea-
sonable hope for small farming. His
letter to the Advertiser is so pointed
and convincing that we produce it
iu full. Mr. Atherton says.
Kula, Maui, Sept Is, '04.
Editor Advertiser: ] might sug-
gest that if you want any practical
knowledge on the success of small
farming in the district of Kula it
would pay you to look into the act
ual condition OF things here. Kula

Iand OF "corn aud swiue" for the,

!. Hawaiians as to His friendship.
The INDEPENDENT has received fur
ther word SO to the method employ
edby Governor Carter to get around
natives and to have them think the
same way that he doss. He is now
on Maui; Lahaina was the first place
he touched. aod the story that We
ara about to relate, happened there:
Meeting a certain prominent na-
tive, he butts up to him and embrs-
css him in a Judas Iscariot like en-
brace, at the same time patting him
on the back ana speaking 10 him
somewhat opGdsntislly in uugram-
atical Hawaiian. but we'll enough to
be understood. the gist OF which is
ebout as follows. "Ws Hswaiians
are good people and we ought to
stay and work ,oget her for the bsst
interest OF our country. This is our
eountry. But these mslihini haoles,
we don't want aad don't care to
have anything TO do with themI
they are no good. Those born here
are. and they are your best friends,
! who all Iowa you as we'll as you love
Hawaii pei"
Governor Garter tries to pasder
and fstter the Hswaiians, and he
manages to act around them in ops
way or another. but the friendship
thus created is not OF that lasting
kind, as his actions toward them
| spesh louder thau words snd be is
