CAN MAKE CoNCRETE
WITH COAL SLACK

Prof q. u. ketchum OF the UniVer-
flty OF Utah hnf received word from
the Engineering News that Il has ac-
cepted for publication an article he
wrote recently on the subject OF Coal
Slack Concrete" The article was an
abstract OF a thesis written by Robert
Flagel. a graduate OF the university In
engineering. who ~ now with the state
road engineer.
In the vicinity of the coal mines OF
Eastern Utah there IL a great scarcity
OF rand or gravel for making concrete
and coal slack has therefore been
used az some OF the mines instead OF
rand and gravel FOR making concrete.
knowing OF this peculiar local con-
dition. the university decided Ia m
yestigate the properties OF concrete
made OF Portland cement and coal
slack. and Mr. Fiagel made n aeries uf
experiments and wrote his thesis un-
der Professor Setchum's direction To
determine the strength. weight etc.
of such concrete compared with ordl-
nary concrete made OF sand and graz
vel
Experiments proved that concrete
made OF coal slack from the Wyoming
miner was worthless because OF the
change OF volume of the Ignite coal
due Co changes In the amount Of
moisture prcfent, while very good
concrete may be- made OF the coal
slaCk from Carbon county Mines.
such concrete at the age OF ninety
days being just about half as strong
as sand and gravel concrete the same
age and same amount OF cement.
The concrete made OF coal slack Ii
much lighter than ordinary concrete.
being only so per cent as heavy as
gravel concrete. This Is quite an adj
vantage In some kinds OF conjunction.
Another important pohit is the fact
that the strength OF the coal slack
concrete gains rapidly as IL gets older

THE OLD UNIFORM
BY CHARLES FRASER ROSS.

The great pride in life of Jed Rob-
fnson was that his uncle Abner had
been a soldier and a brave one. II
was at Pea Ridge that the now old
man had saved the colors of his COM
pany through an act of unusual hero
ism and had won distinguished notice.
Shortly after Uncle Abner came
home at the cessation of hostilities,
the widowed mother of Jed died. I'm
Gle Abner was confirmed bachelor.
His brother had left nothing. Abner
himself owned little forty-acre plot
OF ground along the river just outside
the town. He ran up a shack, made
its interior as comfortable as his limit
ed means would allow and adopted
Jed.
1t proved poor possession, and
with the exception of about one-twen-
tieth OF its area the land was barren
as gravel pit. 1t seemed as though

this convenient and selected spot to
pile up all the mongrel tailings of
heterogeneous mineral veins. Dig

ion Which Just Now Has Strong
Hold In Femininity.

An eminent authority of the medical
profession has again urged upon his
brother physicians the importance of
fmpressing upon the public the need
of properly caring for the feet, not
only so far as having shoes construct
ed correctly, but also in urging every
one to take proper amount of foot
gymnastics. High heels" says the
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation in quoting Ritschl, ARE par
ticularly dangerous and lead to in
Vulnerable bodily ills"
The strength and well being Of the
entire body depend in a large meas
ure on the condition of the feet, and
their development in children should
be watched with special care to avert
injurious influences.
High heels, Doctor Ritschl declares,
affect injuriously not only the foot
itself. but throw the whole weight
bearing mechanism more or less out of
gear. BY extending moderately high
heel backward many muscular trou-
bles are automatically cured"

meager income, barely enough to sub
sist on. To make matters worse, in
order that Jed might have an educa-
ton his uncle had mortgaged the
little place. II was only by exercising
the strictest economy that Jed could
manage to make accounts even up.

Florida regiments are not mention.
ed as often in the history of the
civil was as those of other states
but the only reason is that they
were fewer.
When the war began, Florida had
exclusive of the Indians in the Ever
giades, little more than 10000
people, of whom nearly half were
negro slaves. The white population
was therefore only about 10000.
Florida was therefore the least of
the Confederate States in population,
the others excelling her from three
to one up. Nevertheless, the state
did its full yduty. For the first year
or two of the war, with the exception
of the federal garrison at the fort
opposite Pensacola, there was little
threat from the northern land forces
to Florida, consequently, large pro-
portion of the troops raised for the
Confederacy were sent to the battle
fields of Virginia and Tennessee,
where they were never found want
Ing in the march or the battlefield.
AS the war went on, the state was
invaded, and majority of the fight
ing men being in the armies of Lee
and Johnston, it was ill prepared 10
resist Minor invasions from the
coast were met in West Florida b
the home guards" men over the a Re
limit, and boys under it. These
forces harassed and impeded the ad.
vance of the well-equipped federals
from their ships, and at one place
Mariana gave them disastrous
repulse. These home guards fou2ht
on thesame principles of warfare as
the patriots in the American Revolu-
ton, who resisted the British at Con
cord and Saratoga in thenorth ana
in the Carolinas and Georgia in the
south. According, to the principles
which Germany now seeks to impose
on the world, they would have been
franc-tirerus, not only denied the
rights of soldiers themselves hit
causing all non -combatants found in
their vicinity to be massacred.
In East Florida, undefended Jack
scnville, Fernandina and St Angus
tine were easily taken by the federal
feet and several attempts were made
Iii '63 and ga to invade thcinterinr.
The most formidable of these in Feb
ruary. 1864, caused theonly engage
mont on Florida soil that was big
enough to be called n battle-the
fight at Olustee, in which about 5000
Floridians, aided by perhaps as many
COnfederates from other states, in
flicted a severe defeat on much
larger Federal force.
In thes pring of that year, Fin
ncean's brigade, which composed the
bulk of Florida troops, was sent to
the army of Northern Virginia,
where it served faithfully to the end.
This brigade, by a furious charge,
under the eye of General Lee, turn

battles that ensued when Grant tried
to flank his way into Richmond, and
failing, had to seek new base and
