Makina the kino's Bed.

Among the duties of the yeomcn Of
the guard in the olden times was the
singular one of making the kings bed
every night and searching it for any
dangerous weapon that might be con-
cealed therein to the detriment of his
majesty's sacred person. First one Of
these stalwart soldiers had "to tum-
BILE up and down" the mattress Then
the esquire for the body" took the
sheets and rolled them on his arm or
"stripped' them through his hands.
Whenever the yeomen touched the bed
clothes they had to make the sign of
the cross and kiss the place. which
must have rather prolonged the cere-
mony. Finally. when the bed had
been made, with much quaint but in
terminable ritual" the said esquire
sprinkled it with holy water, and then
the martial bedmakers retired to a
supper provided for them without the
iraverse"-i. e.. across the corridor.
Henry VIII. greatly embellished the
yeomen's costume and presented them
with cloth of gold horse cloths valued
at f5 yard. His first queen. Kath-
crime Of Aragon. by the way, had a
bodyguard all to herself. which, after
her divorce, passed into the service of

Fewer Lynchinus In 1910.

LynchiEgs in the United States, ex-
Guiding murders or killings in armed
race conflicts, numbered only AZ in
1910, against 81 in 1909, 65 in 1908, 81
in 1907, and 6S in 1906.
There are no official records of these
occurrences, and newspaper dispatches
sometimes record as lynchings what
fuller information proves to be muir
ders or killings in armed conflicts.
OF the At lynchings in the year just
ended all but five were of negroes,
and 25 of the AZ were for attacks on
white woman or girls.
One of the most notable lynchings of

at the stake for assaulting and mur-

Springs, Tex, Nov. 3.

later on
Russian peasant who was noted
for his quiet piety offered to be shot in
order to save revolutionary who was
awaiting the carrying out Of the death
penalty. This, he said, was not done
out OF any sympathy for the accused,
but merely to show his dsapproval of
the principle of taking lives of Grim
inals.
Probably the most extraordinary case
on record was that of q Quebec citizen
who passed himself off as Il murderer
for whom the police were searching

THREE KINDS OF CEMENT,
Portland, the Natural and PuzzoIan
or Stag Cement.


There are available for construc.
ton purposes Portland, natural and
puzzolan or Stag cements. Only Port.
| land cement is suitable for reinforced
concrete.
Portland cement is the finely pul.
verified product resulting from the
calcination to incipient fusion of an
intimate mixture of property proper
toned varying within comparatively
narrow limits.
Portland cement should be used in
reinformed concrete construction and
any construction that will be subject
to shocks or vibrations or stresses
other than direct compression.
Natural cement is the finely pul.
verified product resulting from the cal
cination of an argillaceous limestone
at temperature only sufficient to
drive off the carbonic acid gas. While
the limestone must have a certain
composition this composition may
vary in much wider limits than in the
case of Portland cement. Natural ce.
ment does not develop it's strength as
position as Portland cement
Natural cement may be used in
massive masonry where weight rather
than strength is the essential feature.
Where economy is the governing fac.
tor comparison may be made be-
tween the use of natural cement and
a leaner mixture of Portland cement
that will develop the same strength.
Puzzolan or Stag cement is the fine.
ly pulverized product resulting from
grinding mechanical mixture of
granulated basic blast furnace Stag
and hydrated lime. Puzzolan cement
is not nearly so strong, uniform or
reliable as Portland or natural ce.
ment, is not extensively used and
never in important work; it should
be used only for foundation work un-
derground where it is not exposed to
air or running water.

HANGED the Clever Forqer.

OF curious petitions against the
death penalty being enforced one re-
calls the eighteenth century case of
William Lyland, who was sentenced
for forging bill for ELLA on the
East India House. The forgery was
work of art. No less than thirty
signatures We're initiated, and at the
trial not one of the victims could
swear that the signature was not his
own. However. with the help of the
paper manufacturers Ryland's guilt
was brought home. Then came the
petition Of his friends So clever a
man ought never to be hanged, they
pleaded. His craftsmanship should
save him. 1t gained him respite.
He was allowed to finish fine en-

Boiler EXPLOSION Kills Sixteen.


Fourteen men were instantly killed
and two have since died from injuries
received in the explosion of a tubular
boiler in the engine house of the More
wood Lake cmpany, the largest ice
plant in Berkshire county, near Pitts
field, Mass.
More than twenty-five men were in
jured in the explosion, fourteen of
whom were taken to the House Of
Mercy hospital Immediately following
the accident. A police investigation is
now under way to determine the cause
of the explosion
The police theory of the explosion
is that new safety valve which had
been installed by Pittsfield firm was
choked in the pipe leading from the
boiler to the valve. and that whereas
the gauge was set for only forty
pounds the boiler may have been car
rying 200 pounds of steam when it
blew up.
The boiler house was demolished in
second. and pieces of the boiler.
timbers and human bodies were hurled
through the air.
One body was blown a distance of
200 feet and another $50 feet. The
cylinder of the boiler was found in
tree on the edge of the lake more than
100 feet away, while a large piece of
iron was picked up 200 yards from
where the boiler house stood.
