Roofina Tiles of Concrete,

Roofing tiles made of concrete were introduced some time ago, and while 1t was evident that their use was tc be attended with beneficial results iu some directions, their progress into favor was slow. for the reason that there had not been ample opportunity for the demonstration of their merits and demerits. It has been shown. however, that they are very durable and especially suited for use on fac. tories and other buildings where the roof Is subjected to the deterioration from the action of steam, smoke and acid fumes, and at present they are in great demand for such purposes. This style of roofing is being made use of to a great extent on the larger structures Of the new plant of the United States Steel company at Gary, Ind where an order was given fos 2s.00o squares.

MAKING A FIGHT
 AGAINST BAD LAW
Mexican Herald Opposes the Proposed New Mine Meas
 ure in Mexico.
Chihuahua Enterprise)-


 The fight which the Mexican Herald is making is a brave and determined one against the passage of Article IA of the proposed new mining law. This IS the article which would prohibit foreign corporations from acquiring mines in Mexico.
 In this fight the Herald has been very much alone and the entire Mex, ican tSpanish) press has not shown itself broad gauge on this suDIect Mexican papers seem tO think that because the proposed law is against foreign capital that they are standing up for the interests of Mexico in fay. oTing it's adoption. Of course they have a right to do as they please.
 It appears that some of these pap CTS have been jumping on to the Mexi- can Herald, which comes back at them with this: The question hardly comes with good grace from news papers which of a certainty have nev. CT been the means of bringing one dollar of foreign capital to the coun- try" The Herald says it holds no brief for foreign capital but is actuat- ed solely by regard for the interests of Mexico. We fail to see where there can be any argument found for the proposed law when it is admitted that at least 90 per cent of the min ing of Mexico is done by foreign capi, tai.
 The Mexican press will do we'll to remember that foreign capital is not falling over itself' to get into Me%i- co. Capital is impartial ana unsenti- mental. It only seeks a chance for remuneratiye employment and if that can be found in Mexico it will come here and if not 1t wont and that is all there is to fl.
 Like the Herald the Enterprise is working for the building up of Mexi- co. We are certain that by adyertis- ing MeXico's advantages we have been instrumental in bringing much for eign capital into this country. We be- heye Mexico needs this foreign capi- tai and it is no disrespect to this coun- try to say so. Our interests are here and. like the Herald, We believe we are working for the best interests of Mexico in opposing this law We hope to see the day when Mexico will not particularly need foreign capital, but that day has not yet arrived Every new country has to pass through that stage and the liberal policy which has been shown foreign capital Is a splendid proof of the intelligent states manship of Mexico.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-During his visit here aftef his Ictory over PaD- ke at Milwaukee, Stanley Ketchsl told me he wasn't happy unless he was boxing all the time and taking on 1ard game at least once a monGn. The Grand Rapids wonder seems to De making famous headway in his hunt for matches, and, while he is gong to face formidable opponent in Kel. ly, the champion has already com pleted arrangements for another pair Of bouts in the western country be- fore the busy season opens in the fall.
 Young Peter Jackson, the colOred middle-weight with the heavy punch, has drawn one of the dates and will tackle Ketchel at Goldfield on Labor day. Ketchel has been promised s1O0O for his end, win, lose or draw. Joe Thomas. who has given Ketchel three of the hardest bouts of his ca- reer, is also touted as a possibility in a fourth match with Stanley, and the match. if clinched, will allow Thomas to go into the arena at catchweigats. Promoters in the West are surely having grand race to sign the Michigan man, who has already proved a drawing card.
 Owen Moran is back again, the wonderful little Britisher reaching New York Thursday, and will start soon for San Francisco, where ne will buckle down to hard work in prepara- ton for his second clash with Abe Attell for the feather-weight title of the world. These little fellows are matched to meet in twenty-roUnd go before Coffroth's Colma club on Labor day, and a record house win probably greet the boys when they get together.

TEXAS SENDS NEWS
 ID THE SMOKERS
Lone Star State Getting in Line to Furnish Fine Sumatra
 Wrappers,
(speeial to The Revlew.l

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 3O.- Texas sends glad news to the smok-
 CTS of America, instead of a scarcity
 of wrappers and filters that would
 make a good smoke too steep for the
 average mans ,pocketbock, Texas is getting in line to furnish the manu-
 lecturers the finest Sunatrs wrau-
 pers and Cuban fillers, at pricfs that
 minus freight and duties will in d few years make len cent cigars five
 cents, and the ''two-fors" no longer a
 badge of dishonor. Government ex- periments carried on on an extensive
 scale for four or five years have demonstrated that Sumatra wrappers and Cuban filters can be raised in
 Texas. Commercial utilization of these experiments is now being made
 on large scale, and Texas is des- tined to become in a few years the
 great tobacco producing state of the
 union
 Speaking of these planters, John R. Hearne, mayor of Palestine, one oI the largest of them, reports excellent financial returns, and says that af- ter four years tobacco has become his
 most profitable crop. He raises the Sumatra wrapper under shade. having
 IT acres covered, using 30,0g0 lineaI feet of lumber for this purpose. ne averages 1900 pounds to the acre which sells for fifty cents a pound. The crop is expensive to handle. but he says yields a net profit of $500 an acre. The Sumatra wrapper. on ac- count of it's extreme thinness and ltghtness, is used exclusively as wrap pers for cigars, and is much sought after by manufacturers, who pay fancy prices for it. The Texas Su- matra wrapper is pronounced by ex- perds to be so nearly identical with the foreign product that it is diff cult to tell them apart.
 Texas also produces fine cigar fill CTS. This grade is much less -expen-
 sive to cultivate and yields about Sl0O
 an acre to the grower. The Texas fll-
 CT is very much like Cuban tobacco.
 Formerly, indeed, it was the custom of the Cuban planters to come to Texas to get the seed of the wild to-
 bacco that grows so abundantly in
 the Southwest section, and to use it
 to cross fertilize it with the Cuban plants. A big syndicate supposed 10 be backed by the Tobacco trust is
 raising tobacco in East Texas.

Like the purling of the cadence Of .
 spring beneath the elm, Like the chimes that fairies tinkle in the
 dryads' leafy realm, Like the COO Of fragrant zephyrs born of
 southern breezes mild. Like the harmonies of twilight, flows the
 laughter of a child! Glad as silver rivers running over shells
 of sunset hue, Sweet as honeyed nectar dripping from
 the flowers wet with dew, Pure as impid, smiling waters over
 messy beds beguiled, Comes the babbIing of baby. comes the
 laughter of child! 'Tis the Crooning of the forest; 'tis the
 chanting of the sea; Iris the trilling of the fnock-bird and the
 sea-shells' ecstasy: Iris the murmur of the breezes kissing
 beds of clover wild, Blended into rhythmic meter! An, the
 laughter of a child! It is rhapsody of heaven, diapason of
 the sky, Reeded music of the angels as they wait in ether by It is earth and sky and heaven, hope and love and faith compiled, For the God of Music triumphed in the laughter of a child! Where it nipples there is gladness, where 1t Hits woe will not stay; Love is ever clinging round it. grooming
 with it all the day am straining all my senses and my
 heart is beating wild, Just to hear the tinkling ripple of the laughter of child!

The Literary Way.

Slowly but surely the literary way is coming to its own. No more the road leads always over the cobbie stones. Occasionally, it wanders of across the clover-studded meadows along the primrose paths where meadowlarks sing gaily on their liIt ing gum-weed stalks and the world is at peace! To be precise, there is mon, ey in it.
 A few nights ago Wilbur D. Nesbit and George Ade were down on the South side of Chicago, doing a stunt. They had been delayed, and upon reaching Wilson avenue, the terminus Of the elevated line, discovered the last train for the night had gone on to Evanston without preliminary profss- sions of regret. After standing about the station half an hour, mildly ex. postulating at futile efforts to enlist some practical mode of transportation Nesbit elicited the information that for s3.50 special car could be char tered. He imparted the information to George and they secretly and with an earnestness born of selling manu. script, set about taking up a coIlec- ton from the grumbling crowd of be- lated home seekers. This preliminary seemed to occupy considerable time, but finally the collectors announced they had a sufficient amount and the start would be made promptly.
 AS the car started, Ade joined Nes bit or the front platform.
 How much did you get?" whispered Nesbit
 "Four-eighty," softly. And you?"
 "Seven-ffty," replied Nesbit, sotto voce.
 'Sh! Meet you here tomorrow morn ing?"
 Sure! Be clamI"
 You betcha-Good-by!"
 "Good-by."
 And this accounts for the story that Ade is about to buy another Indiana farm, while Nesbit is said to have pur- chased a new ribbon for his type writer.
