Reinforced coneret. of Old Rome.

Although concrete has been used
for many centuries, 1t is generally sup
posed that reinforced concrete is
modern invention. This, however, has
been disproved, according to Popular
Mechanics by the finding of bronze
reinforcing rods In the concrete roof
of an ancient Roman tomb, and In the
discovery of reinforced concrete in
the construction Of one of the walls
Of the old palace of the Louvre, Paris.
The reinforced concrete in the lat
ter dates back only 800 or 400 years,
but created much comment because
the walls were thought to consist en-
tirely Of ashlar and quarry stone. The
discovery that the stone casing con-
cealed core composed In part of re-
inforced concrete was made while
workmen were piercing the wall for
an elevator installation.

The Oil In Cloves.

Cloves are simply the dried flower
buds of a beautiful evergreen tree
growing naturally on the Spice islands.
These flower buds are gathered when
they have become Of a bright red and
are just on the point of opening. The
name comes from the resemblance of
the prepared spice to small nails, from
the French word clou, for nail. Cloves
are very heavily charged with a pun

per cent sometimes being extracted.
This oil is valuable for flavoring and
seeming purposes and has a limited

CLIFFORD PINCHOT IN BRAD
FORD.

The Progressives of the town
brought to Bradford on Monday
afternoon their second speaker, a
man Of ability and National repu-
tation, Ma Clifford Pinchot, the rec
ognized leader of conservation in
this country. Scheduled to speak
at two, he appeared on the hotel
piazza shortly after three. About
four hundred includinga large num-
Der of school children, had congre-
gated in the square and on the ad-
jacent bank, drawn there by the
personality of the speaker, probably,
as much as by the principles of the
party he represents. He was intro
duced by DR.. W. S. Cole and spoke
rapidly and earnestly, paying the
usual attention to the two great
parties which do not accept Mr..
Roosevelt as the only true pilot.
He dismissed Mr.. Taft as being
negligible factor in the situation
whose hope of reelection long ago
disappeared; and he touched lightly
on Mr.. Wilson's fitness for the high
office, saying that he was untried in
this field, although he had served
eighteen months as Governor of New
Jersey and had taken no action
against the trusts in this home of
the trusts. The only course open
was to put Theodore Roosevelt
back in t e White House, when all
things would be regulated in prov
idential manner. He complimented
the Republican party on its glorious
achievements and it's more useful
past and in those days he, as we'll as
most of the other Progressives, had
worked through this channel; but
now the party was old, the times
demand a new party, and he init
mated that mostly the honest Re
publicans had bee 0me Progressives.
Like all the other campaign speak
ers of all the parties the last week |
of the fight, his cause was bound to
win at the polls When Mr.. Pinehot
came to the conservation part of |
his talk he was sure of an interested |
audience. He is a pioneer in the
work. He is certain!y disinterested
in his attempt to conserve our nat
ural resources, and as a millionaire
he has spent both time and money
in the cause. He has had the salts
faction of having many of his ideas
adopted and of seeing this vast
work well begun, and the people are
becoming educated toits advantages
through the forestry publicity cam
paign. Mr.. Pinchot gave interest
ing facts as well as figures concern
ing not only the forests of the land,
but the water power possibilities and
our mineral wealth. He knows
whereof he spoke, because of his
study and personal observation in
every region where forestry is live
.opic of interest. 1t was a real
jreat to the people of Bradford to
zee and hear the man who above all
others, stands for the great economic
principle of preventing wasJe-con-
of all natural resources. !
