GERMANY MAKES STAG BRICK
Well Suited for Building of Houses on
Account of Strength and Re-
sistance to Heat.

In Germany the graduated Stag
from blast furnaces is being utilized
for the manufacture of brick. The
making of Stag brick is no new thing,
but heretofore fluid Stag has been
employed for the purpose, and the
brick thus produced has been found
unsuitable for building purposes. be-
cause of its impermeability to air
and steam.
But the Stag bricks made In Ger
many are, 1t is said. not open to this
objection. On the contrary. while ex-
ceeding the strength of ordinary
bricks and possessing an extraor-
binary resistance to heat, they are
more permeable to air, and conse-
quently are we'll suited for the build
ing Of houses. They do not absorb
water as rapidly as ordinary bricks.

soldering aluminium ia one due 10 a
Norwegian who cleanses the alum
mum surfaces by immersion in an
electrolytic bath and plates copper on
them. after which he has no dificulty

a complicated process. but the ease

can be done makes It comparatively
simple and It may be one solution Of
the vexatious problem of joining

SWEDISH RAPID FIRING GUN
Eleven Hundred and Twenty-Five
Shots an Hour Fired From Weap-
q on That Is Carried in Hand.

Ever since men began to kill each
other. which was very soon after SELL
ish interests began to clash, a good
share of their leisure time has been
devoted to the elevating Of inventing
instruments for that killing.
1t is curious that crudities still ap-
pear In the weapons which the
geniuses of centuries have labored
to perfect and that our eye should
be opened, at this late day to almost
ludicrous imperfecrions in our most
cherished killing machine, the rine.
Yet 1t is only few years since the
smoke Of black powder was done
away with and comparatively mat
ter of days since Maxim produced
his sound-choking f1ame-suppressing
device. And now comes news from
Sweden that an inventor there has
found means, at last, to stop the
kick which has made sore shoulders
from the time the first blunderbuss
was discharged, and has constructed
a weapon that will drop men SO fast
that a single marksman may dispose
of a regiment in an hour.
Eleven hundred and twenty-five
shots to the hour from a gun that Is
carried in the hand and fired from
the shoulder is high record. If that
gun is smokeless and kickless, 1t Is
TO handle and but little
trouble to operate.
The weapon has already taken rank
with the most approved and will
doubtless become a part of the arma-
ment of many of the worlds armies.
