Sillar, a hard compact clay, is the
principal building material in the vi
cinity of Monterey, Mexico, the clay
being cut into blocks, in much the
same manner as ice is cut from lakes
and rivers in he north, and buildings
constructed of these blocks, being
later plastered inside and outside.
Sillar is cheaper than adobe mud Or
plaster and consequently more gener-
ally used.

Experiments in Europe

Experiments have recently been
made in Europe looking to the utiliza-
tion of paper in the manufacture of
pneumatic tires, tests recently made
having convinced the experimenters
that paper has the strength of metal,
the elasticity of rubber, and cheap
ness that is to be found in neither of
these materials; all important quail
ties.

and ratification resolutions were
adopted one after another without q
roll call. Opponents Of the treaties
made no efforts to delay the votes. The
treaties, briefly, provide for reference
to The Hague tribunal Of legal differ
ences and questions relating to the in
depreciation Of other existing treaties
which cannot be settled by diplomacy.
They are not, of themselves, far-reach-
ing, but in view Of the long delay in
their ratification, during which many
disturbing factors, both at home and
abroad have contributed to general
agitation, the feeling among the sena-
tors is that the action today will serve
to place the United States on nrmer
confidential basis with the powers. NO
matter involving the vital interests
independence or honor Of the contract
ing powers is included in the scope OF
these treaties, and all disputes involv-
ing the interests Of third parties also
are excluded. The method OF proce-
dure toward arbitration fixed by the
treaties provides that a special agree
ment shall be drawn up setting out the
details of the dispute, and defining its
issues and the scope OF consideration
to be granted to the arbitrators. Such
agreements must be signed by the
president and ratified by the senate be-
fore the question can be submitted at
The Hague. Matters still before the
senate foreign relations committee are
the Panama tolls questions, the pending
treaty with Nicaragua, and the treaty
with Colombia growing out Of the sur
render Of the Panama strip. Reports
on these, it is understood, will be laid
before the senate in the near future.

to see Mr.. Sam Kell about some car
penter work, and shortly after he had
passed and greeted Mr. Warren Whiso-
nant on the street, he suddenly sank
down and expired between the resi-

The deceased was a son Of the late

THE NEW DRAINAGE LAW

If people of York county desire to re-
habilitate bottom lands that have been
all but useless for a great many years
now is the time to go about the work
and there should be no unnecessary
delay. This is the advice of Mr.. ]. c.
Wilborn, who has been giving the mat
ter his personal attention over peri
cd Of several years, and when it is
known what Mr.. Wilborn has done
and what he is trying to do he will
have to be recognized as pretty good
authority.
There are two government drainage
experts in Yorkville now. They came
last week largely at the instance OF
Mr.. Wilborn, and although the wealth
er has been bad, in company with Mr.
Wilborn they have done quite a lot OF
preliminary prospecting to see what
there is to do and to get an idea of the
probable cost. Their main purpose Is
to do the preliminary surveying, and
the understanding is that the Federal
