Because of complaints in the early summer OF
the character OF the music by bands hired by the

is in part follows:

the city for this purpose. the people who compose

educational and eevating influence of proper music.

Coincident with this recent outbreak the vil3ags
authorities have TO q final agreement with
the city regarding the installation Of a sys-
TEN in connection with the disposal works which
Mr O'Brien's department is ready 10 build to take

Village President. Isaac Turner. and OF the
trustees called on Mr.. De Varona and went over
the situation thoroughly.
Mr.. De Varona had prepared plans which would
take OF the village sewage for practically all

there is the liability of these appointments being

grammes; that the commissioners be urged 10
terminate the contracts OF any bands not showing
such good will: that least two written pro-

NEW WAY TO WATERPROOF CONCRETE
Devised by Chemist of New York Board of
Water Supply.

The variety OF uses to which concrete is put. and
the frequency with which 1t IS desirable to have 1t
waterproof give Importance to a series of eX-
nerimcnts conducted by Richard Hayward Gaines,
. chemist OF the New York Board Of Water Sup
ply Mr. Gaines describes two processes and says
that they may be used singly or together. He thus
provides three ways Of accomplishing the desired
result. One IS substituting for the mixing water
in the preparation of the concrete solution Of a
certain class Of chemicals designated as "elec-
troIvtes" The most economical and servceable
salt for the purpose is sulphate OF aluminium. The
expedient is replacing from to 10 per cent
ground collodal clay. this being mixed with the
cement before the water Is added.
To illustrate the effect Of these methods Mr..
Gaines gives the following figures: Two lots of
concrete were prepared from the same ingredients
ard in the proportions. bur not treated by
any of his special methods Specimens from the
first twenty-eight days old. under eighty pounds
pressure allowed 524 grams of water to pass
through in ten minutes. and specimens from the
other thirty-three grams. Two lots, Identical In
every other way except for the addition of alum
solution allowed only two grams come through
Concrete in which there was 10 per cent OF clay
trate. When both an electrolyte and clay had been
used there was nmeasureable trace These
tests were made with two-inch cubes and the sup
position is that slightly greater thickness would
have been absolutely impermeable.
Another result of The treatment here mentioned
from 20 TO so per cent. Mr.. Gaines believes that
the ions or particles carrying electric charges in
fhe water promote chemical ccmbinat tons and also
form a giuelike substance in the mixture By
ernployiug an "electrOyte," therefore he seeks TO
increase the number CT ions engaged. and thus TO
