The Cement age.

A man has invented a cement shin
gle. 1t is metal shingle covered
with cement, and is really tile as
lasting as stone. AS cement becomes
more known, and it is learned that
every man can make his own cement,
there will be boom in cement build
ing. The great cost of building has
been the increased cost for material
and the high price of skilled labor.
With cement there need be only one
skilled man and plenty of common
labor, even in building houses.
The price of cement is quite high
now, but there are vast supplies and
no possible monopoly. Cheap ma
chimes for making the blocks and
plenty of sand and little knowledge
is the foundation, and the price OUT
side the cities will be cheaper. We
are beginning the cement age, and
concrete houses will be the houses
of the future. Building lumber of
good quality is almost impossible and
brick and stone are out of reach, so
cement is the reliance. Birmingham

Shot at Escaping Forger.

James Ayers, wanted on charge
of forgery, was captured after a run
ming pistol fight through the streets
of Freehold. The chase led through
the principal streets of the town,
which were thronged at the time with
shop and mill hands James Ayres,
Jr., of Little Silver, who was parolled
from the New Jersey State Prison a
few months ago, where he was serv-
ing q sentence for forgery, was the
fugitive, and County Detectives Rue
and Minugh, Constable Hulse, and
Sheriff's Clerk Barkalow were the
pursucrs. The detectives had been
looking for Ayres, he having cashed
bad check for $123 at the Citizens
National Bank of Long Branch. Ay-
res went to Freehold and cashed a
check for $92,50 at the First Nation
al Bank. Shortly after cashing the
check Cashier Campbell found that

According to official figures, says
the Chicago News, since the reclama-
tion law was enacted by Congress
in 1902 eight towns have been built
and 10000 people have settled on
what were desert lands. One hum
dred miles of branch railways have
been built, 1857 miles of canals have
been dug, many of which carry whole
rivers, and forty-seven tunnels have
been excavated. 1t is estimated that
the territory embraced in what is
known as the arid regions of the
United States covers 60O,O00,O00
acres, of which about 10000, 900
acres are subject to irrigation and
can be converted into farms fully as
productive as lands in the most fav-
ored sections.

The Bureau of Labor, after careful

clusion that wholesale prices, esti-

riod of seventeen years. Every house,

Eela In Demand in Euypt.

Eals are so highly priced in Egypt
shs. the supply is generally short of
.Ae dsnAEd and an enterprising Ger
mka arm has therefore started an
ceiling industry in the lower Nile del
IN. The industry is ce-tered in Mata-
rith-Msnsaleh, a station on the rail-
way, whero large depot has been es-
tablished, to which the eels are
brought for sale by the fishermen,
who receive for them about cent
each. Before dispatch to Trieste,
whence they are sent to Hamburg by
rail, the eels are cleaned, rubbed with
salt and packed in casks between lay
ers OF ice impregnated with formalin.
1t is expected that when the scheme
is in full working order no less than
about sixty tons. or 10000 eels, viii
be sent from Alexandria weekly.

name given to her at the baptismal
font had in fact been Susan, which
suited better perhaps with her pat
ronymic, Perkins pointed to the
door with dramatic gesture worthy
of French melodrama Her vigor-
Gus onslaught had been too much for
Mr.. Perry; men of his class can sell
dom stand against a woman's right
eous indignation, unless she happens
to be his wife. He had come to the
Laurels under vague sense of ill
treatment, he was indignant at
Sophy's absence from the ball, and
wanted to know the reason why :"
partly, perhaps, because he suspected
the reason; he knew that he had
earned her reproaches by drinking
her health on the river, and, there
fore, wished to establish grievance
on his own account But Jeanette
had routed him. He took up his bat
tered college cap, and muttering a
grudging apology about mot knowing
it was quite so late" and an ungra-
cious hope that the young lady's head
would not be SO bad but that she
could be seen the next day, he passed
out into the night.
With swift hand Jeanette locked
the door behind him, and stood lis
tening for his heavy step upon the
iron stairs.
Thank Heaven, that's over!" she
exclaimed, with great sigh of relief.
"Drat the man, / wish he was
drowned"
The aspiration was pretty strong
one, but there was little doubt Of it's
genuineness. Her eyes had still the
fire of indignation in them, her
cheeks were still flushed with it; her
bosom still palpitated with it quite as
much as with her late passionate elo-
quence. How Miss Sophy can stand
it," she went on, "amazes me. 1t
would wear me to skin and bone. Oh,
Jemimaram, if he hasn't come back
again!"
The interjection was caused by the
same tapping on the door lock with
out, that had already summoned
Jeanette from her duties about her
young mistress. She had little doubt
that she had heard Alright, but she
was very willing to believe herself
deceived, The wind was still roar
ing and raging, and it was just pos
sible that what she had just heard
was but the swinging of the iron gate
of the balcony. Surely, surely, after
that piece of her mind had been given
him, not apparently, with such ex-
cellent effect, Mr.. Herbert Perry
could not desire admittance second
time. Yet, as she listened with pain
full intentness, with her ear at the
keyhole, there came again the we'll
known summons. 'It is him, drat
him!" she murmured; and with the
same precautions as before, but rem
dered more difficult by the angry
trembling of her limbs, she opened
the door little space, when, without
making it any wider, to her horror
and amazement there .sipped in, like
serpent, the attenuated frame of
Mr.. John Adair.

Korean Emperor,s Toothaehe.

During feast which he gave NOT

the misfortune to break tooth. His
august majesty at once threw the

royal sufferer and was paid 1000 yen

Every animal and plant has it's
parasite, and from this general law,
1T seems, the tea plant is not exempt.
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens,
and are known as the "tea bug" and
"tea mite" The mites spend their
entire lives on the tea plant and are
never known to attack any other leaf,
They live in families and societies
on the upper side of the full grown
leaf and spin a delicate web for
shelter. Then they puncture the
leaves and pump out the liquid in the
plant veins. They seem to become
dainty in their tastes, for sprinkling
of muddy water over their floor and
tea table is the only remedy known
to check their ravages Even this is
not always effectual. The tea bug is
still more destructive and is evidently
possessed of an appreciation Of the
best kinds Of tea, since it always at
tacks those of a mild and delicate
flavor.

At least five persons are now
known to have died in this country
from the effects of Roentgen rays,
employed for the purpose of expert
mentation. The latest victim is Pro-
fessor Wilfram C. Fuchs, of Chicago.
.SHch consequences of the study of a
modern remedial agent are not the
less pathetic because they are prac-
tically unnecessary. In some of the
books devoted to X-ray practice the
dangers attending the use of a
vacuum tube are distinctly specified,
and suitable methods of protecting
the operator are described.

Generating Electrieity at PICS MONTH.

OF recent years a good deal has
been said about generating electricity
at the pits mouth, and transmitting
it to various industrial centres. But
it would be considerably cheaper to
manufacture producer gas at the pits
mouth and transmit it through pipes
to the industrial centres, there to use
it for driving gas engines for generat-
ing electricity and also for heating
purposes and furnace work. The
question of the distribution and trans
mission of power must not be con-
fused. For the former it is agreed
that there is no agent to compare
with electricity. For the latter pur-
pose it is suggested that it is more
economical to employ producer gas
and piping than electricity and cables.
