WIRED CONCRETE BLOCKS.
Unique Method of River Embankment
Construction.

Construction.
A unique method of concrete en-
bankment construction. in which the
concrete blocks are strung on wires,
has been successfully used on the riv-
er Yonne, in France The idea was
originated by an italian engineer.
The bank of the river is first smooth
ed to convenient slope; then the
wires are strung the proper distance
apart, fastened to a cable at the bot
tom and to specially constructed
frames at the top. Each frame, ten
feet long and accommodating twenty
five wires, is in reality a. bench on
which the concrete blocks are placed
and from which they are slipped on
to the wires The sections of these
benches are alternately painted red
and white to eliminate error in string
ing the blocks. which are made in two
shapes, and interlock. One shape is
fed on to the wires fastened to the red
sections of the frame and the other
to the sections painted white.
When the blocks are in place and
embankment is completed the frames
are removed and the wires twisted to-
gether and wound around piles. which
serve as anchors. The bottom is held
down by its own weight.
The concrete protecting curtain thus
made for the slope of the river Yonne
extended about five feet below the wa.

USES OF GRAPHITE.
Mineral Extensively Employed in vari-
GUS Industries.

Mineral Extensively Employed IN Vart-
GUS Industries.
Up to few years ago every Ameri-
can pencil manufacturer had to I'M
port his graphite from Bohemia or Ba-
varia. About ten years ago large
deposit Of amorphous graphite was
discovered in Sonora, Mexico This
proved of excellent quality for pencil
making and many other purposes, and
the American pencil trade now derives
its supply mainly from this source.
Some is also exported to European
pencil manufacturers.
Graphite is also used extensively in
paints for ironwork-to prevent rust
for coating foundry facings, in making
electrodes, stove polishing pastes, in
electrotyping, as a lubricant and as
filler for dry batteries, An impure
and cheap graphite mined in Georgia
is used as an adulterant in fertilizers,
to which it imparts dark and greasy
feel, but still more unusual applica-
tiOn has been it's use to color and
glaze both tea leaves and coffee beans,
the pure graphite being harmless
material which protects these articles
against moisture and adds to their at
tractive appearance.
The fact that graphite is nearly pure
carbon, is relatively inert chemically
and volatil1zes only at high tempera-
lures makes it of exceptional value in
the manufacture of crucibles for the
steel. brass and bronze industries, etc.
Most Of the graphite used in the Unit
ed States for these purposes is import
ed from Ceylon, the fbrous structure
of the Ceylon product, not developed
to like degree in graphite from any
other locality known. being of especial
value in this utilization. since with
clay it forms sitter mix than other
varieties of graphite Muffles. stir

ucts are made from material similar
to that used in crucibles The expert
ments which have thus far been made
in the use of American crystalline
graphite for refractory products have
not yielded results equal to those OBJ
tanned with the Ceylon graphite. The
poorer the binding quality of graphite
used in crucibles the greater the guam

must be added to hold the mass to-
gether. thus increasing the more read

at the expense of the more refractory
and materially decreasing it's life. The
so called amorphous types of graphite

Chickens with the govt form novel
exhibit of the Pasteur institute in
Paris when visitors are taken through
the place these days. But the chickens
so afflicted are believed to mark dis
tinct forward step in the study of the

nikoff, the distinguished scientist, be-
lieves he has succeeded In isolating a
microbe responsible for this most pain
full ailment, and it is due to expert
ments made by him that the chickens
suffer.
The chickens were fed a diet Of

creased growth of certain microbes in
the intestines and produced swelling Of
the joints just as occurs in govt in the
human being Professor Metchnikoff
is also convinced that the absorption
of poisons by these same microbes of
the intestines is the cause of degenera-
ton of the organs Of the body usually
ascribed to old age. One of the chief
degenerative changes found in old age
is in the condition of the arteries. The
walls become hardened and brittle
Professor Metchnikoff was convinced
that the degeneration, the cause Of
which was never before determined,
was the result of the activity Of the
intestinal microbes.
Experiments on young animals with
cultures from a diseased intestine
brought about hardening of the ar
terial walls that was exactly similar
to that which results in the human

gold leaf-was known to be practiced
at least in the eighth century B. c.,
the process of bringing the gold into
these fine sheets or skins was, at
any rate in the eleventh century A. D.,
substantially the same as that used
today, no advance whatever having
been made in the intervening nine
centuries.
Further, on some of the Grecian pot

Mold Destroys Insulation.

1t may be Of value to inexperienced
electricians to know that nothing de-
