Improvement in ArmOred Concrete.
In discussing Improvements in arm.
ored concrete Rock Products suggests
that better disposition of the metal
in concrete would be to have the steel
in the form of tubes, or pipes, instead
of solid rods, whether square or round.
The percentage of advantage when the
metal is used in the form of a hol-
low cylinder is well known and where
these hollow rods were of sufficient di-
ameter they might perhaps with adj
vantage be filed with concrete.

The Nutmeg.

The nutmeg is the kernel of the fruit
of several species of trees growing wild
in Asia, Africa and America. The cul-
tivated nutmeg tree is from fifty to
seventy feet high and produces fruit
for sixty years. The fruit is Of the
size and appearance of a roundish pear,
yellow in color. The fleshy part of the
fruit is rather hard and resembles
candied citron. Within is the nut, en-
veloped in curious yellowish red ariI
known to us as mace. To prepare the
seeds for use they are dried in a mod
crate heat for about two months. Then
the shells are broken and the nutmegs
picked out and assorted, the inferior
ones being reserved for the oil press.
AS the essential oil of nutmeg brings
a high price, dishonest growers often
steep the nutmegs in hot water to ex-
tract the oil from them. They are
then coated with lime and sent into
the channels of commerce. Such nut
megs are worthless, their aroma and
pungency having disappeared, these
qualities being due exclusively to the
OIL If on inserting a pin no oil rushes
out to the surface, the nutmeg is, to
all intents and purposes, a wooden nut
meg.
