HISTORY AND ORIGIN
OF The LENTEN SEASON


Ash Wednesday, the first day Of
Lent, 20 called from . custom observ.
ed on that day in the Roman Catholic
church Of putting ashes upon the heads
Of all the faithful, will fall on Febru.
ary s this year. This is due to Easter
coming on March 20. the earliest in
eighty years. II will not take place at
such an early date again in the present
century. Last year, Easter fell on
April z, two weeks later.
Lent, so named because st this sea.
son OF the year the days lengthen, is
the annual season Of fasting in the
spring. and is observed In many
churches as preparation for the great
feast Of Easter, and time Of special
penitence. Lent is Of forty days dura-
tion and begins with Ash Wednesday.
six weeks preceding holy week. It In.
cludes the forty work days before Eas.
ter. the six Sundays in this period be.
ing excluded for the reason that Sun.
day is always af east day.
As Easter 10 supposed to mark the
opening Of spring the unusual earli.
ness Of the day this year points to an
early sowing season, should the wealth
erman live true to the old.time prophe.
cy. The season 50 far has been very
mild. No zero weather has been ex.
perienced and as only two months Of
cold weather is promised, according
to the Easter prediction-the winter
will soon be over.
One week from Sunday will be
grounding or woodchuck day as It is
commonly called in the United States,
the tradition being that on that day the
animal comes out of his hole in the
ground, and, II he casts a shadow, runs
back. in which case return Of winter
weather is to be expected. Many are
looking forward with the usual curiosi.
ty to this mythical barometer, and the
ancient custom Of watching for his sha.
dow will not fail Of its followers, Feb
ruary 2. 1t is hoped he will observe
the Sabbath and not come out to look
for his shadow.
In many countries grounding day
has q more sacred meaning. Febru.
ary 2 is called Candlemas day, or the
feast Of the publication Of the Virgin
Mary or presentation Of Christ in the
temple. SO called because the candles
for the altar or other sacred uses are
blessed on that day.

Shells
Used In State Of Texas In
Reinforcing Walls

Galveston, Tex, Jan. 25-The basis
of the concrete OF five-story building
destined for mercantile and Office pur-
poses In the heart Of this city's bust
ness district, adjoining the city hall, is
shell taken from the reefs of Galveston
bay.
The owners Of the building have met
with opposition to thei plan, but are
firm in the belief that they have intro
duced a building material of remarka-
BILE strength and cheapness. There Is
approximately only 10000 pounds of
metal reinforcement In the building.
and 1t is argued that the building could
have been constructed with perfect
safety with nothing but the oyster
shell concrete in the walls. The con-
crete skeleton of the building contains
about 26,423 cubic feet OF material,
formed Of one part cement. two parts
sharp sand and four parts shell,
Resting on shell concrete founda-
tion four feet wide, the walls for the
first three stories are IA inches thick,
with 1S-inch pilasters at frequent In.
tervals to add strength and support to
the walls themselves and the five
floors. After the third story the wall
10 reduced to l2 inches, with 16-inch
pilasters for one story. and for the
fourth and fifth floors q still further
reduction Ia made to 10-inch walls and
16.inch pilasters.
As . test Of the fire resisting quail
ties OF shell concrete Mr.. Bohn, one Of
theS owners, has constructed in his
machine shop number OF hrepots
where the fierce heat OF blasts used In
welding have tested the durability Of
the material, the results being entire
ly satisfactory to the experimenter.
