John Armstrong Chaloner CLAIMS.
TO have heard from the Internal re-

Who's looney now?"
So much by way of introduction.
As to the message, which he says
he gets through his X faculty, what
ever that is, let it speak for itself.
This communication purports to
come from a former New York club
man, and it must be admitted that
such n man is properly in Colonel
Satans dominions. He Is supposed
to say; 4 have a moderately mild
torture compared with other per-

The orthodox ideas concerning

CONCRETE
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "A Good Old Siwash."

Concrete was used by the Romans
who also invented the celebrated
Roman nose which is still used with
such great success. Concrete is COM
posed of cement and broken stone
when are mixed with water by a
tired man in overalls and red fan
mel shirt and converted into a sort
of geological Irish stew The mess
Is then stuffed into wooden mould
and when it dries ii is so hard that
when time attempts to nibble il with
its Justly famous tooth it has TO go
TO the dentists with a low shrek of
agony.
The Romans wasted their concrete
building bridges, coliseums and
roads. Had they built their emper-
ors of this material they would have
been more durable and the empire
would have lasted longer. A REIN
forced concrete emperor would have
been less fatal TO the p0pulace while
the sight of a Practorfan guard pick
ing away at the impenetrable
crashed stone thorax of his ruler
with a valuable sword in an effort
to create vacancy on the throne
would have been highly diverting.
Nowadays concrete is used with
great success in building houses,
skyserapers, bridges, baseball parks,
payements. sidewalks. worthless
tombs, boats, artificial legs. tele-
rraph poles, water tanks. sewer
pipes, false teeth cathedrals,
smoke-staeks and eating-nouse sand

come the most useful thing in the
world and many a mountain which
has only been an obstruction TO

next few years and sold in sacks to
