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 a 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
ite ground black marble is used; for red
granite red marble is used. The outer
shell of stonework is from 1.18 to 81
inches thick and is of foreground quail
ity, while the filling isacoarse-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-
BILE 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.

WOMEN OF JAPAN.
SHARE THEY HAVE IN PRES
ENT WAR WITH RUSSIA.
A 'Beloved Mother" Who Is One of
the Leaders in Helping the Dis
tressed Families of Soldiers
in the Field.

New York City.-That the women Of
Japan are made of the same stuff as the
men, though obliged to take lesser part
in the present conflict with Russia, Is
abundantly evident from an article con-
tributed by the wife of Admiral Uriu
to Harpers Bazaar.
THE rich and the poor, the high and
the low, have but one object" says Nine.
Uriu, "to encourage those who are at the
front, to help the distressed families
whose supporters have been chosen to
fight for their country, and, lastly, to
help those families whose dear ones
have died for the cause"
One of the leaders in this work is a
most interesting woman by the name of
joke Okumura, the organizer of the
Ladies' Patriotic association. Nine
Okumura, although not young woman
appears to be animated by spirit of
burning patriotism and love for human
ity that knows no rest.
Before the war with China broke out
she was greatly interested in the
Koreans, and labored increasingly for
their welfare. She induced the Korean
government to build schools, and COL
lected money in Japan for girls school.
The Koreans worshiped her, and
called her Beloved Mother" She was
in China at the time of the Boxer rising,
and made a practice of attending the
funerals of the dead Japanese soldiers.
1t was touching sight, says Nine. Uriu,
to see this gray-haired woman kneeling
in prayer for the departed souls and one
which many times affected the specta-
tors to tears. She went about among
the wounded soldiers continually, sooth-

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-

dance on artificial ice.
One day thought had caught her up.

New Snecies of POTATO

A new species of white potato is be.
ing cultivated in France from a pecu-
liar variety found in Uruguay. 1t ia
believed that it is destined to replace
even the Irish potato. Originally a
very bitter tuber, the new vegetable
becomes, after three or four years of
cultivation, an admirable food product.
Its yield is enormous and it is exempt
from maladies that attack the ordinary
potato 1t grows best in moist soil, its
native habitat being the marshy shores
of the river Mercedes, lin Uruguay.
Its flowers have a jasmine-like odor.
and a delicate perfume has already
been extracted from them. After one
planting the species perpetuates itself
from the broken roots left in the
ground.

them to look after their loved ones at
home. She assured them that hence
forth her object in life would be to help
and relieve the bereaved families, and
on her return she went on foot from one
end of the kingdom TO the other, urging
the necessity of patriotic association
upon the leading women. The society
was organized in time of profound peace,
and before the present war broke out
had 10000 members. This increased to
more than 10000 within month after
the declaration of war.
Princess Iwakura is the president of
this society and the empress and other
members of the imperial family are
patronesses. Marchioness Oyama, a
graduate of Vassar, is one Of the most
active workers and is now collecting
money to send presents to the men at the
front. Even the schoolgirls have a
share in the work and are so anxious to
help that they may be seen knitting
socks and slippers on the street cars on
their way to school.
Since the outbreak of the war a new
relief society has been formed for the
assistance of families whose male rela-
tives have gone to the front. Princess
Mori is chairman of this society

patronage of the imperial family, and at

AS TO DYNAMITE DANGERS.

Explosive May He Handled Reclx.
iessly by Experienced Man.
THE recent railway accident at Har
risburg has brought out vast amount
of irresponsible talk about handling
dynamite said contractor who had
purchased tons Of that explosive fol
blasting purposes. 'srhe majority OF
persons who talk about dynamite have
only vague idea Of what 1t Is. Dyna.
mite is not the dangerous substance Ii
is popularity supposed to be. 1t may
be handled with absolute recklessness
by an experienced man and will not
detonate except under well-dehned cir
cumstances. A defamation is about l.
600 times quicker than an explosion.
Dynamite detonates. It does not ex-
plode.
dynamite In its marketable form, in
order to 1T into drill holes, Is shipped
in sticks varying from half an inch
or two inches in diameter and from
three inches to one foot in length. In
the early days Of its manufacture,
before its properties were fully under
stood, there were some unaccountab BILE
explosions that gave dynamite a bad
name it has never recovered from.
Time has made us wiser. There is no
danger at all in children finding odds
and ends Of dynamite thrown away by
careless workmen. A child would find
g great deal Of difficulty In exploding
It. Every now and then we read of
somebody receiving a supposed infer
nal machine containing dynamite,
which is promptly immersed in water
before 1t is opened. If 1t was really
dynamite it would explode Just as
readily. under proper conditions, II it
were in twenty feet of water.
Dynamite is nitroglycerin held In
an absorbent-wood pulp, coal dust or
other material-that will hold the ex-
piosive tightly. 1t is a powder of a
resinous nature. varying in color with
the absorbent used. The strength Is
calculated by the amount of nitrogly-
cerin absorbed by the carrier, varying
all the way from 20 to 80 per cent.
For commercial purposes stick
dynamite Is packed in twenty five
pound or fifty-pound cases, with lib
eral allowance Of sawdust. 1t can be
freighted or stored without danger,
provided common intelligence and care
be used. 1t is only when ignorant
persons attempt to experiment with
1t that 1t becomes a powerful destroy
ing agency. In some States its trans
portation by rail is governed by strict
law It should be SO In every State.
In New York and other cities it's trans
portation through the streets is regu-
lated by the fire commissioner. The
police have nothing to do with IT,
