something OF a discrepancy bptween

chief was a lieutenant who spoke Ger
man only, the second a sergeant who
spoke Italian only, the third a cor
poral who could speak French and
Spanish, the fourth a private who could
speak French and German, and the
fifth private who could speak French
and Italian. When the lieutenant had
to transmit an order to the sergeant

Facts About Building Stone.

Almost everybody knows the rule Of
the masons that stone used in build
ing should be so placed that it Will lie
as it lay in it's natural bed when quar-
ried. But Francis W. Hoyt in the En-
News says that this familiar
rule is not always to be depended upon
and needs in many cases to be supple
mented with other precautions. There
are three planes of fracture known to
quarrymen. The rift is the direction
in which the stone splits most easily,
the grain that which is next easiest,
the head that which offers the greatest
resistance. In a paving block the two
sides represent the rift fracture, the
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. But in quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the plane Of the rift; hence the i'm
perfection of the ordinary rule for plac-
ing the stone in building.
