The Age of Cement

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Cement and reinforced concrete, say the scientists, are destined to revolution ize building. They will support wood, brick, stone and steel in the modern structure, and we are told that among the many advantages of such materials are lasting qualities. proof against fire, ihhospitality to vermin. warmth in win ter and coolness in summer. and cheap ness of original investment and upkeep. surely here are very striking and im- portant advantages over the old methods of building
 But 1t is not alone in walls and floors and roofs that cement and reinforced concrete are distinctively valuable. The cement show has exhibits of fine finish ing. art castings and the use of cement ir bewildering variety of utensils and furnishings. And according to such a distinguished authority as Thomas A. Edison, this is only the beginning. The possibilities of cement are practically in- eXhaustible. Every expected thing can be made of this mobile and almost inde- structible material. We have seen al- ready the making of tobacco pipes and battleships of cement. We have observed fascinating demonstrations of forming si9tuary. ornamental ware. furniture and even dishes of cement. Edison has pre- dicted that the time will come soon when cement will be used in the making of every conceivable thing used in the home. even to tables and chairs. It is no won der, then, that the public has begun to open its eyes and take new interest in this matter. The cement show is of great educational value as a prophecy of what IS to come with scientific advances in the art of cement fabrication.

 disclosures by saying that MT. Taft, as member of his cabinet, had ad- vised the action that subsequently was taken.
 l'"The records of the war department were then introduced by President Taft to show that in the fall of 1907 he was absent from the country. Colonel Roosevelt then shifted his ground and said that President Taft approved the suppression of the suit after his return in January. 1908.
 This last charge Is disproved by the record which shows that on No- vember z, 1907 (Mr Taft was out of country from early in September until late in December. 1907,) Mir. Herbert Knox Smith, the commissioner of the bureau of corporations, telephoned Mir. Perkins at the Presidents order that the President took the view that the bureaus investigation should come be- fore the suit Why. then, would the matter be brought before the cabinet for serious discussion in January, 1905.
 "If it was brought before the cab inet in January. then MT. Perkins had a scoop of so days on, the Presidents S confidential advisers. It is significant, too, that the order directed Commis- sioner Smith to communicate with Mir. Perkins of J. P. Morgan X Co. and not with the President or attorney of the Harvester trust"

 In Sicily it is said that by introducing into the water chalk, iron and little peat colors will be imparted to the carp. After treatment in a bath of these con- comitants for fortnight the fish is given another chemically prepared bath into which is introduced iron and tan. By in- cieasing or diminishing the quantities the color can be either accentuated or dnin- ished.

 They met at picnic where Gore had gone to make q speech. Her father who had known Gore in a political way, re- ouested her to see that the visitor was provided with everything he wished for at the table. She asked Gore If there was any special delicacy that he cared for. and he mentioned his liking for gig gards In few moments she returned with more chicken gizzards than he had ever had before at one sitting and his joy knew no bounds. That opened the way for their courtship.

in vain to establish the contention that the courts have power to declare such laws constitutional.
 Tho only power which courts of a state have ever claimed over such laws is to determine whether they conflict with provisions in the state or federal consti- tuition.
 Mistakes have been made by the ju- eiciary and the extension of legal prin- ciples has often been slower than inpa- tient reformers would wish. Yet, no critic can say that on the whole the his- tory of the American judiciary does not furnish as high. if not higher example of adequate results, than that of any other branch of the government"
