Clay is perhaps more to be avoid
ed than rock, says the Circle. Clay col.
lects water and spreads under pres
sure. 1t expands i'm wet or frosty
weather and contracts in summer.
Frozen clay clings to brick or stone
and often causes dislocation of cellar
walls and piers.
Also it is impervious to water. Thus
an underground layer OF clay will pre-
vent the proper drainage of rain wa
ter and it is extremely costly to ex-
cavate Undesirable for building pur-
poses also are made land, sand and
silt. Made land is not always stable.
Gravel is the ideal soil for build
ing purposes. 1t is porous and drains
perfectly. At the same time it is suf-
ficiently stable to support foundations.
A gravelly elevation is the ideal build
ing site.
Depressions or levels between rocks
are likely to retain water, even though
the depression is slight and the eleva-
tons distant The ground water thus
retained stands at a level. Small
gravelly elevations form islands. as it
were. in a subterranean lake, and up
on them houses may be built with per-
feet safety The cellar floor Will be
above the ground water level and no
rain water will drain into the cellar.

INDIANS SUDDEN WEALTH.
Wanted Money From Sale Of Land in
Greenbacks for Display.

Greenbacks for Display.
Wealth has suddenly como to the
French River Indians through the
sale of the valuable timber on their
lands near Lake Nipissing. For
many years the late chief OF the Glib
ways sternly repulsed the advances
OF the lumbermen, but his son has
yielded to their solicitations. and it
is stated that altogether the band
will ultimately be entitled to some
thing like 100000. The distribution
is being made by Indian Agent Cock
burn at Sturgeon Falls. The assem-
bled braves listened stolidly to the ex-
plantations Of the agent that the
piece of paper each received meant
that a large sum of money was in the
Quebec bank to their credit, which
could be obtained when required. A
short lecture on banking and the
convenience of the savings depart
ment followed. after which the re-
cipients marched solemnly to the
bank and drew the face value of the
checks.
Burdened with wealth, they return
ed to the agents office; where each
Indian piled his money up on the
table and joyfully regarded the
stacks of greenbacks which spelled
ease and comfort for some time to
come. One Indian insisted on having
bills Of small denomination and was
loaded up with a mountain of green
backs. With a grin he staggered in
to the office, money bullying out of
every pocket. Slowly unpaclling him.
self, he piled his treasure on the
table, making a bigger display than
any of his red brothers, which at
forded him the greatest satisfaction.
With difficulty the men were dis
suaded from carrying off their money
to the reserve, twenty miles across
Lake Nipissing; but finally, after
making generous purchases and pay
ing their bills, nearly all deposited
their wealth in the bank. 1t is stated
that the sale will mean an income to
some families of 5000 a year. A
not unnatural result of this sudden
acquisition of wealth has been the

Alexander Pope, who was the lit

best when in bed. Whenever a
thought came to him he would jot it
down on a scrap of paper. His SER

covered with white bits containing
aphorisms which have now become
hackneyod quotations.
Victor Hugo wrote LES Miser-

Hawthorne also assumed when he
wrote many Of his romances.

William Morris made one of his

Whitman and Horace Traubel, origin

The magnet that boys of yesterday

are employing as a useful instrument
in their workshops. Within the last
few years particularly, as w. Frank
Mcclure points out, 1t is being adapt

all forms of iron and steel, from iron
dust to scraps, or small junk TO
weights OF 10000 pounds. I'm fact,
the worlds largest magnet will lift
as much as $4,000 pounds
The magnet is employed to break
up imperfect castings, to hold sheets
of metal in position while they are
being rivcted in the building Of
ships, to lift "sow and pigs" at the
furnaces. also as n gigantic broom
to sweep both the large and small
pieces of iron, and in numerous 9th
