"Oh, john" was the quick reply,

disappearance that troubles me-

Iron Band Pavement.

A new kind of street pavement
has recently been introduced in
Germany, which is said to excel in
durability. 1t consists of artificial
stones of concrete held together by
iron bands. Joining stones of this
pavement laid along street car rails
save the rails and make easier travel
ing for the wheels of ordinary We
hicles. The pavement is relatively
cheap, as almost any kind of broken
stone mixed with cement serves well
for constructive material. 1t also
answers for sidewalks and stable
floors.

LEGAL AID IN LONDON.

Legal advice and assistance to
poor tenants are given gratuitously
in the east end by a voluntary or
ganization founded for the purpose
SIX years ago. A poor mans lawyer
fund which has been in operation at
Tonybee hall is now linked with the
East London tenants and general
legal protection committee, as the
combined societies are called. A
member attends at Tonybee hall
each Tuesday to see all the appli-
cants. Frequently nothing more
than this preliminary interview is
required, but where necessary case
is referred to solicitor and action
may be commenced. In this way
tenants too poor to pay for legal aid
have been assisted to obtain justice
from eXacting landlords or bailiffs
improperly distraining, and injured
workmen hay ecured compensa-
tion.-Londom telegraph.

An Unpatented Invention.

Frederick p. Fish, president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, says that Edison's
greatest invention was never patent
ed. "lears ago. said Mr.. Fish,
when the telephone first came into
use, people used to ring a bell and
then say ponderouSIy over the wire:
Are you there: Are you ready to
talk% Well, Mr.. Edison did away
with that awkward, un-American
way Of doing things. He caught up
a receiver one day and yelled into
the transmitter one word, a most
satisfactory, capable, soul satisfying
word, lIello' 1t has gone clear
around the world. The Japs use it.
1t is heard in Turkey. Russia could
not do without it. Neither could
Patagonia.

record which has not since been
beaten, is an inmate of an English
almshouse He was professional

one who develops his muscles for the
sake of making his body more per-
