NEW USE FOR CEMENT.
Is Vow UtnIIed in Making slabs
Resembling Boards.

Cemen. lumber is new form Of max
ing use OF cement, which dispenses with
the necessity and uncertainty Of mixing
the material.
The lumber consists of slabs made in
suitable lengths. and this material takes
the place OF wood on the outside OF q
house. The framework is erected in the
ordinary manner. and a metal tie is nail
ed on the StuddinE. The latter Is gal
vanized and has a slotted edge.
The end OF the slabs come up to this
and are held in place by bending the
edge OF the ties, first 10 one side and
then the other. over the ends Of the slabs.
Subsequently the whole surface Is finish
ed by a coating Of cement, which fills
all the crevices and covers the exposed
portions OF the tie. The metal ties cost

NOVEL USE FOR ASHES.
Utilized in Making Marble by Ger
man Engineer.

All the world knows that ashes, are
the last solid residue OF combustion and
compose the essence OF earthly materials
minerals. salts, potash, soda, phosphates.
&C. The uses to which ashes may be
put have not been supposed various; they
serve in the preparation OF certain con-
ditions in the manufacture of brick, al
ways with the view to furnishing some
desired chemical property, but these ap-
plications Of ashes are always secondary.
Recently q German engineer invent
ed way to transform ashes into marble
OF exceptional beauty, which Is suscept-
ible to the highest polish. He refuses to
divulge his secret. though large induce
ments have been made to him by owners
Of marble quarries. It is a matter OF
chemical synthesis. Of course, but 1t Is
said that his only visible apparatus Is
q small gas stove. together with a kettle
that resembles a copying press. With
these implements. plus the secret he
holds. he has manufactured a medium
sized slab Of marble in half an hour,

Theory Of Atomic DisInteoratlon Of
Radium Suggests Large Number
Of Unanswered Problems.

"The greatest OF our scientists know
little about radium." remarked Prof.
II. ID. Blackie. OF the University OF
California. "The theory Of its atomic
disintegration has suggested a large
number Of problems. some OF which re-
main unanswered. For instance. there

the ultimate product or products OF
the atoms Of the two primary elements
Of radium-uranium and thorium.
There 10 some ground. but no positive
proof that lead is the ultimate product

EGGS SKIN AS LEG PATCH
Hole In Broken Bono Filled With Al.
luminous Tissue by Physleians
May Heal.

New York.-The skin Of an egg has
been used by the surgeons In the Baby
lon U. ~ hospital to fill up hole
left in the broken leg Of a man. BY
the use OF the egg 1t Is believed that
the injured limb will heal and, after
q short time, be as serviceable a.
ever.
A few days ago Babylon residents
we're surprised by an advertisement
appearing in local paper. stating that
the Babylon hospital was in need OF
an egg ready for Matching. Inquiry
as to the use to which the egg was TO
be put revealed a curious operation IN
reconstructive surgery performed
mpon Patrick Padian, a patient In the
hospital.
A telephone pole fell on Padian's
leg, fracturing it. In healing smail
hole was left in the bone. The SKIN OF
the egg was placed in the hole, and
the development of the cells formed
lew bone tissue, which has complete
filled the opening.

Air Conditions.

M. A. Lawrence Rouch, at the Biuo

was the first to employ kites. attached
to steel wires. to lift self.recording In.
struments and so obtain records Of the
various conditions In the atmosphere.
Since that year they have been used
extensively in this country. in Europe,
and from the decks Of steamships. fire.
Quently ascending three and four miles

American Review Of Reviews. About
the same time the small ballons-sondes,
or sounding balloons. were perfected
In France. and began to be employed to
carry instruments far higher. some
reaching the extraordinary height of
Is miles.
These discoveries and improved
methods Of research led to the organ
ization Of an international commission
for scientific aeronauti,s, under the
auspices Of which measurements are
made simultaneously at an increasing
number Of stations throughout the
world. Started a. a private enter.
