NEARSTONE FOR BUILDING.
Beton, or Imitation Granite and Sand
stone, Said to Be Durable-For-
mula for Former.

United States Consul Kehl, in Stettin.
Germany, tells about the first imitation
sandstone or beton building in north
ern Germany, says the New York
World. 1t is to be used as government
insurance building. The staircase rail-
ing of imitation red granite has a pol
ish equal to that on the real article:
only by close inspection can one detect
that it is in imitation. Even the halls
and stairs will all be of beton The
framework is of cheap brick faced with
pieces of imitation sandstone, cement
being used in setting the pieces. All the
blocks, window frames, stills, columns,
roof, balcony and portal ornaments are
so exactly cast that they fit with little
chiseling. To obtain the effect of gran
lite ground black marble is used; for red
granite red marble is used. The outer
shell Of stonewOrk is from 1.1S to ]. 81
inches thick and is of foreground quail
ity, while the filing is coarse-ground
Wood forms are used for block work:
for fancy pieces plaster of paris molds
are used. The stones are sold by meas
urement and ornaments by the piece
and the claim is made that the imitation
is so per cent cheaper and just as dura-
bic as the real article. The best form
/ ula for mixing beton is said to be one
part cement three parts sand, FIVE parts
ground stone.

To my surprise Charley and Phoebe

AN AUTO
RACE
By AMY f. GACKErr

nEPRIVED for awhile of the delights
~ of basking in the sunshine of Me-
linda's charms, l spend half my time
wondering how l, the creature of habit,
whose every action had the sanction of a
century behind it, could have fallen in
love with her-Melinda, the very per-
sonification of restless mo6ernity. Dur
Ing the other half of my time concoct
futile plans by means of which l hope
TO regain Melinda's favor
Learned ping-pong to play with meg"
said Melinda, raising her pretty eye
brows. That's awfully sweet of you,
you know, but never play now, nobody
does; it's quite out. Why not learn
hockey? I'm just gone on hockey"
But when had mastered the brutali-
ces of hockey Melinda was learning to
dance on artificial ice.
One day thought had caught her up.
Fancy" she said "I've never been
ON a motor. l should love to go for a
good sharp spin.
"Awfully dangerous things, motors"
] remarked, earnestly.
Melinda ignored the suggestion.
Charley Rumbold took Phoebe down
to Brighton the other day, and she says
II is just ripping"
By ripping" Melinda means every
nice" She has a strange vocabulary.
81 don't think ladies look at all well
on motor cars" l remarked.
Phoebe looks just spiff in her rig"
protested Melinda. BY "spiff" Melinda
also means nice"
Il WISH" she said, musingly, that l
knew some one who could drive motor
You can hire them for the day. Mr..
Farley has several that he lends. I'd
give anything to go for a spin; it would

STRANGE WORLD, BELIEVERS

When the cold day came along with its
halieluia song,
You were signing for the pastures where
the daisies used to throng;
But when you knew those pastures you
were hunting for the glooms,
Though the bees were making honey in a
holiday of blooms
Strange world. good people!
Never satisfied at all,
With the roses of the springtime
Or the gold leaves of the fall!
When you own the whole plantation there
is trouble at the door;
If you cornered all creation you'd be en-
vying the poor
You'd be growing at the landscape, If you
ever took your stand
And saw the shining beauty Of the ancient
promised land!
Strange world. believers!
Never satisfied at ALL
When you're in the summer gardens
Or the golden groves of fall!
Don't you think if. once in heaven, with
the good folk you should meet,
You'd expect them all to lead you to the
very highest seat,
And then. in perfect safety, find lots of
II the very brightest jewels were not given
for your crown?
Strange world. believers!
Never satisfied at all,
II you're living in the hovel,
Or the master of the hall,

Harris and his men landed there. ema-

When the Victor ended her career by
striking the reef the shipwrecked crew
had barely time to put off in the boat
for their long voyage, made without a
compass and no sail, with one days pro-
visions and a half dozen cocoanuts on
board.
The milk from the cocoanuts was all
they had to drink during the IL days it
took to reach Papeete. The passage was
enlivened by a constant combat with the
sharks. In verification of their story
oars were shown splintered and worn
repelling the attacks of the ferocious
fish, which gave them no rest The
Victor was a trader among the Friend
ly and Society islands.
