FORGOTTEN Novelist.

Ninety years ago there died nov
elist of whom 1t would have been con-
sidered sacrilege to suggest, in her
own time, that she would ever be for
gotten. The friend of Mrs. Montagu,
Mrs. Piozzi and all the blue stockings,
she married William Radcliffe, editor
of the English Chronicle, and set the
town on fire with her novels. Scott
wrote of her that "the praise may be
claimed for Mrs. Radcliffe Of having
been the first to introduce into prose
fiction a beautiful and fanciful tone Of
natural description and narrative
which had hitherto been exclusively
appropriated to poetry" For THE
Mysteries of Updolpho" she received
$500, and later book produced
e800-great sums in those days, and
beyond the reach of many excellent
noyelists today.

Surely there must be something the
matter with the vocabulary of our
young people when they have to de-
pend so exclusively upon such words
as "Sure!" Dandy" and Wonder
full" to express their principal emo
tions. What is most extraordinary
about all this is that the Vocabulary
of young women does not seem to be
improved by a college career. One
would think that it would be quite i'm
possible to study Latin and French
and German, literature and philosophy
for a number of years (even though
studied in the most superficial man.
ner) without acquiring enough variety
of words to carry one through any
common experience. The method OF
studying English in our schools is
entirely wrong. There should be
classes in adjectives.-Life.

WATERPROOFING
CONCRETE WORK
BY r. M. WHITE,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
The old question whether concrete
can be made watertight or waterproof
without the addition Of some special
waterproofing treatment, arises in the
mind of prospective builders of
concrete tanks, cisterns or retaining
walls, and reinforced concrete struc-
lures.
In some structures, such as base
ment walls or cellar floors, it is essen
tial that no water be allowed to pene-
trate the structure, and even damp
ness should be prevented. In rein
forced concrete work, If water comes
be a weakening of the structure and
even total failure of the concrete it.
self.
If we are to prevent the penetra-
ton or absorption of any water in the
concrete mass, special precautions
must be taken. We should not ex-
pect to make watertight structure
with materials which are themselves
rapid absorbents of moisture. This
would eliminate the use of soft lime
stone or porous rock and sand of any
nature. Sand and gravel must be
clean, free from organic matter, and of
various sizes and shapes, ranging, in
case of the stone, from material that
will pass through a one and one-fourth
inch sieve and that will be retained on
one-fourth-inch mesh sieve and
sand that will pass through a one
fourth inch sieve and not more than
u per cent. pass a No. 80 sieve. The
cement must exactly fill the inter
stices in the sand, and the cement and
sand exactly fill the interstices in the
stone This requires proportions rang
ing from a one-one-two mixture to
1-2h-4k mixture, that is, one part of
cement and two and one-half parts of
sand, and four and one-half parts of
stone, as indicated.
The consistency of the mixture, or
the amount of water used, also has an
important influence on the waterproof
ing of the structure. The amount of
water necessary in the mixing will
vary according to the dryness of the
materials. The correct consistency
might be described as "quaking," or
about that of jelly, so that when lamp
ed the moisture will easily flush to
the surface.
A good method of determining the
best proportions to be used Of the
materials at hand is to fill narrow
cylinder partially full of trial mix
ture. say one-two-four, mixed to the
consistency recommended, and care
fully mark the height reached in the
cylinder. Next try the same weight
of a different mixture in the same
cylinder, say one-two and one-half-
three. and notice the volume Of this
nev mixture. These trials may be
carried on until mixture is found
which gives the least volume. The
least volume secured, always keeping
tho total weight the same, will give

Rock Cannon.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con-
tanned an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon fifty were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach. When the
fame of these arms of defense became
known to the world the idea was taken
up of transporting rocks to cummits
to serve the same purpose, but it was
soon recognized to be impracticable,
and the cannon of Malta, bored in
solid rock, have passed into history
as the sole weapons of the kind ever
known-Harper's Weekly.

the densest concrete. For ordinary
work, the above method will give a
concrete that will be good enough for
small tanks and walls. If larger
tanks are to be built, it is advisable
to take further precautions.
There are various interpreting
compounds on the market which may
be mixed with the carefully proper
toned concrete materials. They con-
tain varying proportions of alum and
hydrated lime, which are water repel-
liant. A combination of liquid and
powder is sometimes used, and Is
known as the Sylvester Process" In
this method three-fourths of pound
Of pulverized alum to each cubic foot
of sand is used. The cement and sand
are mixed thoroughly in the proper
proportions. The materials are then
mixed to the proper consistency with
water containing three-fourths of
pound of soft soap to each gallon of
water. This material will weaken the
mortar slightly, but makes a struc'
ture impervious to water.

About $1,00O,O00 worth of butterfat
is lost every year by Wisconsin cheese
makers because the butter fat is not
separated from the whey before it is
returned to patrons. Until recently
very few factory operators gave this
important question much thought and
were unwilling to consider the subject
seriously, since it involved the ex.
pense of purchasing separator and
the necessary motive power. A few
large factories, however, were so
equipped, and these had such success
that many smaller factories are now
being provided with separators. These,
also, report profitable returns.
The losses of fat in the whey at
American cheese factories amount to
about 2.5 to 3.5 pounds fer 1000
pounds of milk. 1t has been conser-
vatively estimated that during 1912
about 160,000,000 pounds of cheese was
made in Wisconsin. 1t takes about
ten pounds of milk to make one of
cheese, this means less of 100000

INSECTS AND POTATO BLIGHT
Early Application of Arsenical Poison
Is Only Reliable cure-Bor-
deaux Mixture Best.

The early application of an arsenical
poison is the only reliable remedy for
the potato blight. The Bordeaux mix
ture is the best to use. When the po-
tato vines are about two inches in
height and have had the first cultiva-
ton, they should be sprayed with Bor-
deaux mixture and Paris green. This
should be repeated when the vines
have made a growth of ten inches.
These two applications will kill the
worms and their larvae and also pro-
duce strong, healthy growth of vine.
Some growers recommend spraying
with the Bordeaux mixture until the
vines are in full bloom. They say to
prevent blight it is absolutely neces-
sary that each leaf be well covered
with the solution. Spraying is the
most economical and effective method
of applying insecticides and fungi
cides. Use a good spray pump which
will throw very fine mist. The solu-
ton should be strained so as not TO

The next day l decided that l had bet

that my hair was giving me head
ache and needed a good combing.
Ten times that day I went into barber

dressed by the manicurist. No luck.
Nor were the candy stores any

small and dull-eyed and a glance at
him showed that by no possibility

seemed that there was a plodding
something, a characteristic about him
that never had been described. But
