STONE MEASURE.

There Is No Regular Unit, and 1t Fairly
 Reyes In Variety.
 Owing to the variety of uses to which stone is put. there is no regu- lar unit of measurement employed by the quarrymen, the stone being sold by the cubic yard. cubic foot. ton. cord, perch. rod. square foot. square yard, square. etc. Building and monumental stone. especially the dressed product, Is usually sold by the cubic foot or the cubic yard, although this unit varies locality; a large quantity of rough stone is sold by the perch. cord or ton.
 Bubble and riprap, including stone for such heavy masonry as breakwater and jetty work. are generally sold by the cord or ton. FluXing stone and stone for chemical use-as for alkali works. sugar factories, carbonic acid plants and paper mills-are sold by the long ton. Flagstone and curbstone are sold by the square yard or the square foot, the thickness being vari- able and dependent on the orders re- ce1Ved. Granite paving blocks are sold invariably by number, but the blocks are not of uniform size, the value de pending on the size of the block and the labor necessary to cut into the shape desired. Other paving material is sold by various units. such as ton or cubic yard.
 Crushed stone Is usually sold by the cubic yard or ton, the short ton be ing more generally used. The weight of q cubic yard of crushed stone varies from 2.3OO to 5000 pounds, the average weight being about 2,5OO pounds. Tn certain localities crushed stone is sold by the square" of 100 square feet by 1 foot. or 100 cubic feet. Crushed stone is also sold by the bushel, 211a bushels representing cubic yard of about 2,70O Geological Survey Bull letin

A TABLE OF LOGARITHMS.
Its Uss In Working Out Compile

lts Uss In Working Out Complex
 Mathematical Problems.
 A logarithm Is an exponent, and an exponent Is number showing how many times another number has been used in any multiplication. Ten times 10 equals 100. It was used twice, and its exponent Is 2. Ten cubed equals 1000, and its exponent Is 8; while 10 to exponent 4 equals 10000, and so on out toward infinity. But suppose that we wish to use 10, say 1A times or 1H times instead of twice. Then the ex- ponent must be computed, and expo nents thus computed are always print ed in tables.
 per. as always. by day and by night, is very near @ precious book, table of logarithms for all numbers from 1 to 1O0,O00, computed out to seven deci- nal places. To give examples of their use. suppose that you wish to multiply 8 by II. Look in the table and you will find the logarithm of to be .e03O0O0, and the logarithm of Il to be 1.041S927. Add these and the sum
 
 column and it will be seen that this is the logarithm of 8S.
 Easy. But suppose you wish to null tiply two strings of figures of from to 6 dozen. In the great standard mathe- nautical sciences, such as astronomy, physics and chemistry, the multiplica- ton and division of immense numbers are required. Thus, let us square the number 3155S149-that is, multiply it. self by itself, tedious job. But this toil can be saved by the use of loga- rithns. Thus. the logarithm of 3155S149 is 7.4991289, taken directly from the table. Then. to square any number multiply it's logarithm by 2, and this logarfthm multiplied by 2 equals 149962578. Now, by looking in the table. the number of which this Is the logarfthm is 995916962O96951. Hours q work are performed in a few min- utes.-Edgar Lucien Larkin in New York American.

PETR0GRAD IS A WONDER.
A City Built by Russia In Defiance of
 the Laws of Nature.

the Laws of Nature. It is an amazing monument to the despOtism of tie cZars that Petrograd has fOurished, as 1t was built, in de- f1ance of the laws of trade and of na- ture herself AS port 1t is immeas- urably inferior to Riga, which has a much longer open season, for Petro- grad is icebound from early November to the end of April. As building site it has been repeatedly and disastrous ly flooded by the Neva. The highest elevation within the bounds of the city is less than fifteen feet above sea level, and the cellars have to be baled out nearly every spring when the ice melts and the wind blows.
 And the rigorous climate constantly gnaws at walls and columns until the city has been twice and thrice rebuilt by the cZars. Many of the most im- posing structures are held together only by means of iron clamps, and the huge powder on which Peter rides his bronze horse is ever crumbling away. The stones of the streets are continual ly sinking below the level, and the great Cathedral of St. Isaac never
 
 ceases to settle on foundation in which nearly $1,OO0,OOO was sunk. No less than six tiers of piles were driven for the beautiful column of Alexander l., yet that eighty foot monolith, the tallest and largest in Europe, has to be clamped ill iron.
 As dwelling place Petrograd re- mains the most fatal of any great city in the civilized world, with a mortali- ty of twenty-eight to each 1000 of pop ulation, and within ten years it's death rate actually exceeded its birth rate.- Argonaut

MoNsON.

The Ricketts 6 Shaw mill on Bliss street, which has been on a 32-hour schedule, started Wednesday on full time.
 MT. and Mrs. Charles Morris and children of Pearl street and MT. and
 Mrs. George Gather of Brook klyn, N. r., left Monday for Wales where they have gone in camp for two weeks at the Lakeside pavilion at Lake George.
 Mrs. Julia W Anderson died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Howard Davis, in Danbury, Conn, Wednesday morning. She was born in Stafford, Conn. in 184O. In 1862 she married Harley F. Anderson of Stafford. Mrs. Anderson is survived by five children, Mrs. Frederick Bugbee of Watertown, N. Y., Mrs. Charles Smith of Pitts. field, Mrs. Howard Davis of Danbury, Conn, Mrs. Eugene Cooke and Bert Anderson of Monson, and by one brother, Merrill Whiton of Pasadena, Gal. The funeral was held from the home of Mrs. Eugene Cooke Friday afternoon at 2. 30 o'clock, Rev. G. A. Andrews officiating. The burial was in No. cemetery.
 Local friends of Mrs. J. H. Lond of Boston, formerly of Monson, have been especially interested in the con- vention of the National association of organists which was held in Spring. field last week, as her husband, John Hermann Lond, has taken an important and prominent part in the program. Large audiences have at- tended the recitals and lectures in the auditorium and listened with delight to the fine concerts given on the Bew municipal organ, which is pronounced by experts to be an especially fine instrument. It is one of the three municipal organs in the country, the others being in Pittsburg, Pa, and Portland, Ore. Mrs. Lond was formerly Miss Myrta Fiske, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Francis E. Fisk of Springfield, formerly of Monson. After finishing her studies at the academy she devoted her time ex- clusively to the study of music attaining such degree of efficiency that she became a highly successful organist. MT. Lond studied organ and harmony with Henry M. Durham and Stephen Emery, following with a course abroad under Grunicke in Berlin. Guilmant in Paris and Varley Roberts in Oxford. He has the de- gree of Associate Royal college of music in London. He was organist and choir director of the First Congre- gational church in Springfield for four years, leaving to take a position in the Harvard church, Brookline, and later in the First Baptist church of Newton. He is now organist and choir master of the Park street church.

"A Man ls as Old as Ho FeeIs."

The well known saying, "A man is as old as he feels, woman as old as she looks," it seems, is pure Liver pudlian, and legal at that, During the trial of breach of promise case there arose some argument as to the desiro- bility of man of forty-nine marrying a girl of twenty, whereupon the judge delivered the famous epigram. He even went one better, for, when coun- sel for the defense argued that the lady had had lucky escape from marrying such man as his client. the witty judge observed, What the wo- man loses is the man she thinks him to be."-Liverpool Post.

The Senate Barber Shop.

Here's an odd thing about the Unit ed States senate barber shop: Although the number of senators has hardly in creased at all. the number of slaves has increased at a surprising rate in recent years. The reason is simply that the senate is now inhabited large ly by comparatively young men with smooth faces or wearing mustaches at most. and they are obliged 10 get shaved every little while, wheIyas the old style senator with a riot of whisk- CTS never had occasion to visit a barber shop except every few months to get
 his hair trimmed.-Cincinn Enquirer

The First Housahoata.

The first houseboats in this country were developed on the Mississippi riv- CT and were called ''shanty boats." As the name implies, they are more or less of shelter or shanty built on a small boxlike scow or float of logs, usually containing but one room, in which cooking. sleeping. living, trading and very often gambling were conducted. These shanty boats often started from St. Louis or@points farther north and drifted with the current, assisted and steered with long sweeps all the way down the river to New Orleans. Here they were sold or deserted by their owners, 1t being practically impossible to get them back up the river against the current without towing, the cost of which was prohibitive.-H. w. Lo- weree in Countryside Magazine.
