A New BuiIdIno Material

So many uses are found for con-
crete in building operations that new
applications of this material in order
to secure permanence and economy of
construction are being constantly re-
corded One of the latest is from Liy-
erpool, where dw ellings made of con-
crete are being erected by the corpo-
ration for the artisan classes, the idea
being that the cost Of erection can be
reduced to a point that will enable
rooms to be rented for a shilling a
week.
The material used consists Of con-
crete blocks, formed from waste
crushed clinker obtained from the city
refuse destructor plant, which ordi-
narily is employed in making concrete
slabs for crosswalks and in pavement
foundations. The structure of these
slab or concrete dwellings is rein
forced by steel framing, and they aD-
pear eminently strong and durable.
The cost of brick dwellings recently
erected in Liverpool was in one case
about $4,000, and in another plant
about $1,000 for block, while the
estimated cost Of concrete block
was but $4,000. In the actual erection,
aowever, there was required a new
and necessary plant, which brought
the cost to over $50, 900, but the actual
amount involved in the building was
but $4,000. The engineer in charge
is confident that, with further expert
ence, the new method will be found
most economical and desires to erect
five additional blocks. If dwellings
for the masses. can be provided at
substantial reduction on present costs,
the use Of concrete is bound to have
an important influence on sociological

FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded In Pluck.
Ing Real Diamonds and Rubles from
the crucible Of the Furnace.

Recent advices from France state
that Prof Moissan, the eminent sci
enlist and inventor, has actually sue.
eeeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubies. He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace. which has
been SO improved that degree of
heat can be produced, approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were un-
doubtedly a factor in the formation OF
minerals and gems "a the interior OF
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing 10 or IS carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts Of the sci
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystal-the diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
on a small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series Of
new compounds. Probably the one Of
most value to mankind at large is Cal
clula Carbide. The simple applica,
tlon of water to Calcium Carbide gen.
crates the gas Acetylene, which is
now being commonly used for light

The peculiar merits Of Acetylene
light are its brilliance and high can

Changes Made by Modern Life.

Most Of the salt Of life disappeared
when gentlemen left off wearing
swords, and true politeness went out
with the last duel. The military have
always recognized the enormous i'm

the ferocity Of modem guns which
obliges our generals to disguise them

smoke.prsventlon Device

A new smoke-prevention device for.
boiler furnaces has been invented by
a Glasgow engineer. The system con-
sist Of discharging a combination Of
steam, air and producer gas into the
furnace. The three elements are com
bined and discharged onto the fuel
in the front Of the furnace. The re-
sulting chemical action releases the
hydrogen in the steam and combines
the oxygen with the carbon in the
fuel The decomposition Of the sup
piled gases is thus completed and
creates great heating power, emitting
heavy smoke. The latter. however, de-
creases in volume toward the tubes
in which there are only flames, and
is completely consumed before #
reaches the chimney.

the Stars.
1t is very difficult to conceive at
what an enormous distance we are
from the stars. In lecturing on as
tronomy Sir Robert Ball has found it
hard to impress upon his audience this
fact, so he now asks his listeners to
suppose that railway has been made
from London to one Of the most re-
mote stars. If only one penny per
hundred miles were charged the fare
would run into a fabulous sum.
AS an instalment on account Of his
ticket the impending passenger might
commence with taking to the booking
Office the while of the amount of the
national debt of the United Kingdom,
which, in sovereigns would require
over 5000 large vans to carry it. But
before a .hird-class single ticket could
be issued the would-be excurslonist
would have to pay further install
ment of 91OS 100000! Calculating
this amount at tenpence per 1000
miles, one gets dim notion Of how
far away some of the stars are.-Lon

Better Indiqo Yields

According to consular report from
Simla, India, efforts are being made
to save the indigo growers from the
German manufacturers Of artificial in
digo. Lord Curzon urged the Indian
indigo farmers to find ways of getting
more coloring matter from their har-
vests by introducing scientific meth
ods of selecting and caring for the
plants. It was also suggested that a
factory for preparing the coloring
matter would pay better than money
expended on the farms. All the indigo
plants could be collected at such a
factory and there treated in such a
way as to secure the. best results. A
combination of both plans, it is
thought, would be best and might re-
suit in India maintaining its position

In the number Of red globules when

not a great extent in few hours
Descending to the starting point
makes the number diminish to a great

was before the ascension. He finds
that a second ascension, made before
the number has fallen to the original
value, causes a new increase which is
greater than is remarked in the first
ascension.

A Judges Opinion Of erape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired

For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indispensa-
bic necessity in my family's everyday
life
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.

physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease It is beyond value. | have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troVbled with face
bIemishes. skin erurtions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. It
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power Of resisting fatigue, while
its use involves none Of the disagree

The work which presents no diff
culties to be overcome soon grows un-
interesting.
There are some workers so anxious
to catch time by the forelock that
they almost tear the forelock off.
If it is true that good work implies
that the workman knows himself, it is
equally true that the best work shows
that he has forgotten himself.
There is only one right way to work
and it is neither in doing things be-
fore they are started nor in doing
Them all over again after they are fin
ished.
Go to some successful workman and
ask him which Of his days were hap
piest, and it's long odds that he'll say
to you, "Those in which began my
career"
It is only when at work that man
fulflls his proper place in Gods crea-
ture scheme They are indeed rare
exceptions who "also serve. who only
stand and wait"

ed in its use Of the word "art." Work
Of any kind, done superlatively well,
is art-dusting pictures as well as
painting them.
