HYDRAULIC DEMENT'S.

Notwithstanding all that has been

and frost there IL still "A margin OF un-
certainty I'm respect 20 certain OF these
properties. concerning which authori-

has adopted a plan for collecting what

subject by the foremost experts OF

suancc OF this plan the Prusssan min

for "A prize competition OF scientific es-

General Mason, rs an apt illustration
OF the intelligent economical and ra-
tional way In which the government
OF Germany aids In bringing TO the
assistance OF various Industries the at
tainments OF scientific research and
practical experience. II is TO be hoped
that American scientists will not fall
TO contribute something OF note and

There are many evergreen trees In

impress the visitor from the north IL

has fronds twenty feet long. bending
gracefully outward from the main
stalk. which seldom reaches height
Of more than fifteen or twenty feet.
The banana is similar In shape and

means as beautiful.
The great live oak trees are nearly
everywhere, but they are by no means
as beautiful as the huge magnolia. an
other tree that Is ever green. The
