Concrete Horses.

In a recent newspaper inter-
view, Thomas A. Edison, the ln-
ventor, is quoted as saying that
series of movable, interchange
able molds for cement houses of
varying designs, and all the para.
phernalia for using 1t, would be
easily within the compass of a
corporation or firm with a capl.
tai of 100000. From these molds
and with semi-huld concrete
made with cement and poured IN
to the molds, houses could be
Quilt, if the term may be still u.s.
ed, in a few hours, ready TO have
all the windows, heating pipes,
and water and Illuminating fix
lures put in place. A day would
be ample time, economically util
lzed. And as to the cost, "a this
estimation $3.50 would be suffi
clent to build a good, artistic,
comfortable little h use of seven
rooms. Another feature which
he incidentally mentions is that
such a house simply could not
burn, would not require repairs,
as walls, floors, stairs, roof, Gel.
lar, and, in short, everything but
the doors and windows, would be
of cement. In point of beautJ,
such a structure would be as
readily of artistic design as any
ether. In durability it would lit
orally defy the gnawlng tooth of
time.

The second period was occupl

said, Choose the breed you fancy

Resolved, that while we great
