industry, so marvellous its devel-
opment, that the public in its
breathless endeavor to keep
track of ever increasing uses of
this wonderful material has
scarce any time to ask what the
stuff itself is. And yet despite
the fact that Portland cement
has become absolutely indispens-
able not only to the engineer and
the builder, but on the farm and
about the house as well, many
man otherwise well informed,
would be somewhat embarrassed
for an answer, if asked point
blank: What is cement and
where does it come from?
So much has been said of
Portland cement that one is apt
to forget that there are other &C.
ments such as Rosendale, a slow
setting cement, and Puzzolan, a
product of iron Stag. But the
manufacture of these cements is
insignificant compared with that
of Portland cement. The brick
maker of Leeds who discovered
that wonderful prodcut could
be obtained by mixing the Eng
fish chalk or lime with clays
from the bed of the River Thames
named the product Portland ce-
ment from it's resemblance to a
we'll known and popular building
stone in England, which stone
was quarried on the island of
Portland and was considered the
hardest of the known building
stones.
Portland cement was first i'm
ported into the United States
from Germany. Then the dis
covery was made that this coun-
try also contained materials from
which the product could be man
ufactured, When, finally we be-
came interested in the product,
with characteristic energy and
enterprise we forced our way
rapidly to the front, and with
improved methods and applian-
ces forged ahead until today
American Portland cements are
the acknowledged superiors of
any in the world, not only in
quality of product and improved
methods, but in the quantity
also.
In one region alone, the Lehigh
Valley district, in the state of
Pennsylvania, more Portland &C.
ment is manufactured than in
the whole of Germany and Eng
land combined.
Within a decade 1889 to 1902
the cement industry of the Uni
ted States has increased twelve
hundred per cent! And this
growth has been due to the fact
that the American public has
been quick to grasp the POSSIBLE
tiles of this adaptable material.
Here is an ideal building materi-
al. a stone that does not have to
be hewn from solid rock, but
merely mixed up like a paste
with broken stone and sand and
then poured in place! Could one
ask for anything simpler or more
opportune at a time when the
scarcity of lumber is becoming
serious? No wonder the cement
industries have grown.
Portland cement is a chemical
composition, trisilicate of lime
and alumina, 1t can be manu-

and England. These rotary kilns
produce from 500 to 800 barrels
of Portland cement per day &C,
cording to their size and they
alone have been largely instru-
mental in cheapening the cost of
the manufacture to such an ex-
tent as to make Portland cement
a cheap and economical building
material.

SPORTING NEWS FIRST
 CORONATION NEWS LAST
Pribylof Islanders Initial Demand When Wireless Station
 is Installed

San Francisco, July 15.-Every nook and corner of the earth over which the American flag waves seems to hold a baseball fan and a racing enthusiast. In the far-of Priblof Is- lands, near the roof of the world, the first questions asked by the inhabit- ants when a wireless station placed world was: What is the standing of the clubs of the National and Ameri- cans Leagues?" and What horse won the Derby?"
 This news was .imparted by the members of the crew of the United States supply ship Homer, which ar rived from Alaska yesterday. A wire less station had been installed on St. Paul Island by the United States cruiser Buffalo. The islanders as- sembled at the station to celebrate. After the naval operator had tuned up his instrument, he said:
 "I have Honolulu now within my zone. What news do you fellows want ?'
 "Give us all the sporting news you can get,'' the islanders replied in chorus.
 The operator at Honolulu sent the club standings, the recent ring bat ties and the Derby winner, and then attempted to send in news of the coronation of King George. This had SCdrcoly started to IIdSn Dy COQe on the receiver when one of the island CTS said:
 Say, tell him to ditch that King George stuff Ask him for Cobb's bat ting average and all the news about Eddie Collins Honus Wagner and Red Dooin. The coronation news can come along later"
 Arrangements have been made to transmit to St. Paul daily all the inn portant sporting news and the scores of the big leagues.

BLAKESLEE
 DENIES SIGNAL
 FROM RORABACK
Especial from United Press.)


 New Haven. July 15-"I was not asked by Senator Marsden to question the vote on railroad bill in the House."
 Representative John H. Blakeslee, of North Haven, gave the United Press this denial to the charge that King of the Lobby Roraback had signaled Blakeslee to doubt the vote. Blakeslee's action disclosed no quor- um. But previously the vote should have been overwhelmingly opposed. The bill which caused the trouble pro- hibited charge of more than five cents extra on fares collected aboard trains. The railroad committee, which has repeatedly been accused of fa- voring the railroads, reported unfa- vorably on the bill. Representative ThomS of Waterbury, led the opposi- tion to the unfavorable report and pointed out that two and one-half times the regular fare was charged between Hartford and New Britain unless special tickets were obtained.
 Immediately upon Blakeslee chal- lenging the vote, several members charged Marsden with having acted on signal from Roraback who was seated just outside of the hall of the House. Senator Marsden boldly occu- pied a House seat. The House was so iIACu tIlC Ciiol SCS lidI pi COlOIiOiho were freely made that the bill would be passed next Tuesday.
 Representative Blakeslee today fur ther explained his yesterday action. "I am over 21 years of age and have a mind of my own. I favored the recently appointed public utilities commission considering the move contemplated by the bill. It was for that reason that I questioned the vote that showed no quorum present"

Donkey Quits Race And The Elephant
 Drops Out Too
Got as Far as Philadelphia, But the White House Seemed a Long Way
 Off

Fred Thompson. owner of Luna Park, anxiously awaited news yester- day morning of the race between Judy and Jennie, the elephant and donkey, from Luna Park to the White House in Washington. Some time af- ter the usual hour for getting his daily report the telephone bell rang sharply. Thompson answered.
 ''This is Evans" said a voice, faint ly.

 Where in-where is that?"

 Who's ahead? How's that donkey ? Tell me quickly. How is Jennie?"
 She's all in. I mean out. She's out of the race"
 Thompson dropped the receiver, but a park attendant seized it and took the rest of the message. He cheered the owner of Luna Park with this announcement:
 ''The elephant has dropped out, too.'' It was true. The great race was off Neither animal was able to go fur ther than Darby, Penn. Lame and tired, Judy and Jennie were prostrat- ed with a simultaneousnass that would have raised the cry of collu- sion with animals less public spirit ed
 It was this way: The Jennie who entered the race was not the Jennie who was to have run. That Jennie passed away last Saturday, the day the race started, and a circus donkey that had never worn shoes took her place. At Princeton, her four little hoofs had spread so that they were obliged to shoe her, and for the rest of the race the unwonted footwear she baked
 Thus far and no further" said Jen- nie the Second.
 Judy looked at her with covert en- wy. Walker persuaded the elephant to take a few more steps. She sulked. She hesitated. She stopped
 ''I won't said Judy wickedly wire the news to LaFollette."
 Judy, too, was lame. Ever since the night at New Brunswick, where, for lack of a livery stable, large enough, Judy had spent the night fgnominiously in blacksmith's shop. and while walking in her sleep had run aAna1 in her foot, she had been far from we'll elephant. The most skilled treatment had not fitted her hoof for travel, and she just wouldn't go on. Hereafter. the press agents said last night, Darby will probably be known as the place where the great race was called off.
 Today the two, with their faithful attendants, will return from Phila- delphia aboard a Clyde liner. They passed through that city yesterday morning without walking 1t.

Bryan Plays Scheme Of Carnegie To
 Fix Trust Prices
(Special from United Press.)

Lincoln, Neb.. July 15-William J. Bryan, in an editorial in te Common CT, flays the Carnegie scheme whereby the court of commerce would fix trust prices. In part, Bryan wrote:
 "Mr. Carnegie says trust prices should be fixed by the court of com merce. That is the plea now. Com bination is to be recognized as an es- tablished fact-a fact that we are told cannot be prevented and then the pub- lie is asked to trust to regulations. Who are to regulate officiels? And who is to appoint the officials? The President? And who will select the President? The trusts. That is the program and it has been carried so far.
 "The supreme court has, by writ ing the word unreasonable into the antitrust law, virtually repealed the criminal clause and the Republican leaders make no effort to strengthen the law. How long will the people allow themselves to be deluded and deceived by the attempts at regulat- ing mOnOpolieS?'
