OBJECT LESSONS in
HYDRATED LIME
Farmers in Southern Maryland Ben.
eft by Berkeley Cement Com
pany's Demonstration.

The Security Cement and Lime Com
pany, which has an exhibit OF its prod
ucts at the Builders and Manufacturers
Exchange, recently ran a demonstration
train through Southern Maryland TO show
the farmers the advantages OF using hy-
drafted lime on the soil. At each stop
from fifteen to seventy-flve farmers gath
cred 10 listen TO the demonstration.
In addition TO 4 full line Of Berkeley
lime products. there was an exhibit of
farm products grown with Berkeley hy-
DRAFTED lime, the most prominent being
one from the District government farm,
of which William J. Fay is manager,
which consisted OF alfalfa. clover, beans.
sweet potatoes, white potatoes. peeled
corn, and mangelwursels. Another was
from the farm OF p. Y. Waters. general
manager Of the Chesapeake Beach Rail
way, which comprised full line of every
thing grown on a farm.
Farmers in that section have awakened
to the necessity of the use OF lime on
their land and the great benefit derived
therefrom. but have not understood how
to apply it TO get the best results. Many
large piles of lime, containing at least
half a car load each, were seen which
had lain out in the open weather so long
that Il was OF the consistency OF hard
mortar but was being broken up with
hoe and shovel and then scattered over
ground.
Security Portland cement has been fur
nished by s. NJ. Frazier. OF Anacostia,
for the Raleigh Hotel. Continental Hotel,
Powhatan and Wilsyu hotels for several
Office buildings and private residences,
for CoTby's new bakery, the cold storage
plant at Eleventh and streets south
west. the Chevy Chase Club, for bridges,
culverts, and REINFORCED work upon
Maryland roads, and for a score Of rows
OF houses and apartments.

VERDICT FOR $500 UPHELD.
Pass Docs Not Exempt Railroad
from Paying Damages.

The judgment OF the lower court in
the case OF Joseph c. Duke. an express
messenger, who rode on a pass and re-
ceived a verdict for $500 damages in
his suit against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company for personal injuries
received in a collision Of a passenger
train between Washington and Cumber-
land, was yesterday sustained by the
Court OF Appeals.
The evidence disclosed that Duke had
signed an agreement, assuming all risk
of injury while on railroad trains when
he entered the service of the United
States Express Company as a helper,
and subsequently ratified an agreement
between his employer and the railroad
company, in which the former agreed to
release and hold harmless the latter from
all actions for personal injuries brought
by its employees.
This. the defendant eontended. showed
that Duke had waived all legal rights in
case Of injury, but the court held other
wise.

while there are no startingly bad

this month, sit is clear that some cities
are overbuilt, this being the case par
ticularly in New York. where there
was a decrease of Is per cent: in Brook
lyn, with 9 per cent on the wrong side
of the ledger; st. Louis, 10 per cent;
Pittsburg. per cent; st. Paul, IL:
Seattle. IS; Denver, IS; and a number
Of smaller cities; but this should not
be disheartening as these places are
among the most enterprislng in the
country. and their recuperative powers
are enormous; and, furthermore. it will
be seen that the losses were confined
TO thirty-four cities. while in thirty-seven
cities there were gains, which the totals
show were OF the most satisfactory sort,
including Chicago with an increase OF 9
per cent: Boston, So: Philadelphia, l6;
Washington. q; Cleveland. %; Cincin-
natl with a marvellous increase Of IS;

Could Not Make n Perfect Book.

A London publisher once determined
to publish at least one book which should
be fauItless in the matter Of errata. He
had the proofs corrected by his own
proofreaders with the greatest care until
they had exhausted their skill and pa
thence and assured him that there were
no longer any errors to be eliminated.
Taking duplicate proofs Of the last re-
wise, he sent them to the universities
and other large publishing houses, offer
ing large money prizes for each error
discovered. A few errors onlv were found
ana after every one had a chance to de-
tect any additional errors the plates
were made. the book printed. extensively
bound and sold as an absolutely perfect
book, and unique in all literature.
For a long time this was conceded.
but six or eight months after its pNbii-
cation a letter called the publishers at
tention to an error IN a certain line and
page. Later a second was announced and
before the first year had elapsed four or
five errors had been reported.
