A TEMPLE OF REPUBLICS

On May IL President Roosevelt, in
the city of Washington, laid the cor
nerstone of the first International
Temple of Peace, Friendship and
Commerce, the tangible evidence of
the desire of the twenty-one American
republics that war shall be no more
in the Western world and that mate
rial prosperity promoted by interna-
tional trade shall take its place. Dis
tinguished men were present at the
laying of the cornerstone and mess
ages were spoken or sent by represen-
tatives from all of the twenty-one re-
publics of America. The new build
ing is to be the joint property of all
the republics. The site provided by
the American Congress is within a
few hundred yards of the White
House and is adjacent to the State,
War and Navy buildings and the Cor
coran Art Gallery Mr. Andrew Car
negie contributed three-fourths of a
million dollars to the erection of the
building, and each of the republics
has added an appropriation to the
fund The building is to be the home
of the International Bureau, main
tanned by the American republics,
and is to be made the centre of a
continuous campaign of education,

ate and up-to-date information of
any other. A library on all subjects

Queen Victoria's complaint against
the terrible summer heat and equally
trying winter cold Of Madrid, the
Spanish capital, precipitates the ques-
tion of the advisability of moving the
government to Barcelona Madrid
is situated unfavorably from almost
any standpoint. The surrounding
plateau is treeless, exposing the city
to the scorching south winds in sum
mer and the frigid breezes that de-
scend from the snow-covered Sierra
Guadrarama in winter. In contrast
with this uncomfortable situation
Barcelona's equable climate, due in
large part to her position on the Med
iterranean, appeals strongly to the
Spanish lover Of ease. Barcelona has
long been the commercial centre of
Spain.

Cement From Blast Furnace Stag.

An invention which should have
far-reaching effect upon the Portland
cement industry, and which incident
ally will enable hitherto useless
product to be turned to commercial
advantage, has recently been per-
fected by Mr.. Sherard Cowper-Coles,
the well known English electro-metal-
lurgist. This invention consists Of
the direct production of cement from
blast furnace Stag. The latter is
taken when still molten as it issues
from the furnace and conducted to
an electric furnace, where its tenn
perature is further increased. DUR
ing this period a PREDETERMINED guam
tity of chalk is added to the Stag, and
the whole then subjected to electro
lysis, which brings about certain re-
actions producing Portland cement
equal in strength and quality to the
best grades obtained by the existing
methods. at very small cost as COM
pared with the generally adopted pro-
cess and in practically one operation.

News Before tine Telegraph.

Before the advent Of the telegraph
news travelled slowly, and in times of
war reports of victory or defeat were
anxiously awaited and were at times
long delayed. One writer, relating
his own experience, tells us of the ex-
hilarating scene in Glasgow when the
mail coach arrived bearing the news
of some great victory, such as the
Battle of the Nile or the Battle of
Waterloo.
"On such occasions" he says, "the
horses were decorated with laurels
and red flag fioated from the roof of
the coach. The guard, dressed in
scarlet, sounded his horn as they gall
loped through the echoing streets.
Along Gallowgate they went with an
ever increasing crowd till at the foot
of Nelson street the coach pulled up,
the guard discharged his blunderbuss
into the air and communicated the
news, which spread like wildfire. -
