where he promptly slew one man in
duel and wounded another. Scarcely
had high Influences secured his par
don for these offenses when Cellini
fell into fresh difficulties by killing
goldsmith who CHANGED to offend him.
Then after series of political
squabbles he found 1t wise to leave
Italy, and journeyed to the court Of
King Francis /. Of France. There he
was received into high favor. but pro-
ceeded to get into a rather unpleasant
scrape which sent him back to Italy
again. He went to Rome, and was ar
rested on a charge Of having stolen
precious jewels from the pope's tiara.
Cellini was condemned to death and
was thrown into prison at the Castle OF
Saint Angelo. He managed to escape.
but was soon caught and put back In
his CELL The friendship Of the power
full cardinal of Ferrara won pardon
for him, and he set forth again upon
his wanderings.
His quarrelsome nature and the RI
valry of great men made Cellinis
next few years miserable. Every mans
hand seemed against him, though none
denied his splendid genius. In fact,
Cellini the Genius was forever saving
Cellini the Blackguard from the pun
fshment of his misdeeds.
He died, in mis- native city. December
is, 1869. Eleven years before his
death, Cellini began to write his auto
biography. This Is one Of the most de-
lightful books OF its sort in existence;
not only for the picture 1t gives Of
life of struggle and the era in which
that struggle was waged, but because
Of its portrayal of Cellini's monstrous
vanity, his total lack Of truthfulness
and his absence of conscience.
He writes with calm satisfaction
about the killing of his victims, tells
of his alleged power to raise demons
before him at will and assures the
reader that he himself was SO utterly
under divine protection that once or
twice he awoke in the morning to
find his head crowned by glowing
halo.
The man died. BY the world at large
his character and his misdeeds became
half forgotten. But his work is i'm.

Blood, q soldier OF CAPTAIN BLOOD
fortune. born in Ireland about 1928.
When parliament went to war against
King Charles of England this young
adyenturer Joined the Parliamentary
army and won a reputation for reck-
less courage. After parliament had
overthrown and beheaded the king
and had put Oliver Cromwell in charge
of England's government, Colonel
Blood found himself without any oc-
cupation thrilling enough to satisfy
him. But his time came soon after
Charles II. (son. of the beheaded NOM
arch) mounted the British throne.
Blood then stirred up an insurrec-
ton In Ireland, planning to begin the
rebellion with the capture OF Dublin
Castle and the selling Of the Duke OF
Ormond, lord.lieutenant Of Ireland. 1t
was a clever plot. But 1t failed. Blood
escaped. Many OF his friends and
fellow-rebels were hanged. Blood
vowed revenge upon the Duke OF Or
mond for these executions.
He fled to Holland, but soon ven
tured back to England. There he pro
ceeded to work out his revenge. Or
mond was driving home, on the nlgnt
of December 8, 1870, through the dark
London streets, when his carriage was
surrounded by Blood and party OF
unknown men. Ormond was seized,
dragged from his coach and hustled
off in the direction OF Tyburn Hill
(London's official place of execution
and the spot where some Of Blood's
friends had been hanged).
Blood coolly informed the duke that
they intended to hang him from the
gibbet on which the conspirators had
perished. The threat would have been
carried out then and there had not a
party of Ormond's followers ridden up
in hot pursuit and rescued their strug-
Cling master.
Blood once more escaped unsus-
pected. His next plot WAS the most
daring Of all. Disguised as clergy
man and followed by one or two ac-
completes, he wandered into the Tow
er Of London. From room to room he
and his friends went, gazing in open
mouthed wonder at the sights. as any

the apartment where the crown and
'orb" and scepter and other royal
jewels Of England were kept.
At signal, EDWARDS. the guardian
CT the treasure, was attacked. He de-

dered. Leaving Edwards bound on
the floor. Blood snatched up the Jew
eled crown of England, hid it under
his long clerical cloak and strolled
peacefully out of the room. One of
his followers stole the orb" and fol-
lowed him.
But the alarm had been raised. The
thieves were chased and caught. Thus
England was spared the unspeakable
humiliation of losing it's royal crown
by a thief. Blood was thrown into
Jail. No one doubted that he would
be put to death at once. People won
dered what tortures would be inflicted
on the man who had dared to lay un-
holy hands on the royal regalia.
But Blood's7 luck held good. He
managed to get word to King Charles
II. that If he were executed there
avenge his death. He is also said to
have been in the secret employ OF the
dissolute Duke OF Buckingham, who
was favorite of the king and who
hated the Duke OF Ormond. 1t was
even whispered that Buckingham had
inspired Blood's attack on Ormond
and that he perhaps counted on pay
ing some of his own ducal gambling
debts out of the sale of the stolen
crown jewels.
In any case, instead OF ordering
Blood's immediate execution, Charles
ii. actually visited him in prison. No
one knows just what took place dur
ing the interview or what royal scan
dals Blood threatened to expose II he
were killed. To every ones surprise,
Charles not only set Blood free, but
placed him in high favor at court and
granted him pension of $2,5OO
year.
For the next ten years Blood was a
parsonage of Importance in London.
The thief and blackmailer waxed rich
(while poor Edwards was refused
even a petty reward for his plucky de-
tense of the crown jewels.) At last,
the lucky man went too far. He
spread scandalous stories about his
patron, Buck!ngham-probab by
way Of blackmail-and was arrested.
He was released on ball. In Au.
gust, 1880. he died under somewhat
suspicious circumstances while wait-
ing to be tried.

one Of history's strangest blackguards
-Benvenuto Cellini.
Cellini was born at Florence, Italy,
in 1900. His father, "a maker Of mu-
sical instruments, wanted his son to
follow the same trade. Benvenuto
would not do 1t, but became gold
worke: and engraver. AS mere lad
his exquisitely chased metal orn.
aments and sword hilts won him fame.
With his sword at his side, rare ge-
MUS in his brain, and very little mon
ey In his pocket, young Cellini set out
to bring fortune from the world. He
drifted from one Italian city to anoth-
er. falling constantly into trouble. lead
ing grossly dissolute life, fighting
as he went, and incidentally turning
out miracles Of artistic work.
He reached Rome at length, where
his talent as an engraver attracted
Pope Clement Wis attention. He al
so became one Of the pope's court mu-
sicians and executed, in spare mo-
ments, some beautiful seals and me-
dallions. When Rome was attacked by
the Imperial army, Cellini fought
bravely in the Eternal City's defense.
According to his own improved state
ment he slew, single handed, the
prince Of Orange and the constable
de Bourbon during this siege. (There
is no reason to believe this boast is
not one Of the countless like that
strew Cellini's story Of his own life.)
Back to Florence he went, the news
of his Roman exploits winning him
pardon and a welcome. There. he set
tied down and devoted himself to en-
craving and sculpture. 1t was dur
ing this period that he made his cele-
brated Hercules" ATLAS Supporting
the Earth" and "The Numidian Lion"
He returned to Rome, after a time.

About four years ago some walls made of cisder concrete were erected at Columbia Uni rrrSiIy, and since then htey have been subjected Io several four hour tests by fire when the aver age temperature was i,7O0 de- grecs Fahrenheit. Al the end of each test a stream of water Was applied for ten minutes while the walls were hot. NotwiIh- standing these tests, the walls as good as when erected, and the percentages of coal and fine ma t"rial in such cindcrs appear io have vrry little effect on their fire resisting qualities. The pieces of coal which were next lo the surface in these walls were burned to ash, but the ash remained in place and acted as a non-cnnductOr of heat.
