Ever since then electrical experts of the road have been making tests to find how the man was killed
 It is known that during the stormy weather. which preceded Ligori's kill ing there was a leak in the current near the Stamford station, but the en- gineerss have not been able to locate the leak. On what the engineers tell him today Coroner Phelan, who is in Stamford, will make his finding.

Walthall. who will play leads in the picture, the world has Poe's1 parallel and his double in looks as well as in temperament, having often been referred to as "the Poe of the screen and a remarkable DOT traya1 of the role may be expected. It is a picture well worth seeing.
 The Seven White Black Birds, in their novel minstrel. offering entitled Night Time Down In Dixie1and." will be one of the most enjoyable fea- lures of the vaudeville bill. There are seven clever young people in the act and when they don their burnt cork makeup and settle down to busin ess, even the most discrimina ting thea atregoer will shout with g1ee for it is one of those lively -snappy me Ianges of melody, mirth and dance that goes we'll with any audience.

Portland Cement.

In the manufacture of portland cement, clay or shale and limestone are ground together and burned" in rotary kiIns. The cement comes from kilns in the form of hard, black, semi vitreous Jumps, or ''clinkeE." When pulverized this c1inker becomes a gray ish powder, which is the familiar ar ticle of commerce employed for great variety of purposes in practically every type of building construction. It has long been known that the dneness to which the cement is ground is one of its most important characteristics, and consequently specifications require that 75 per cent or more of commercial cement shall pass through No. 200 sieve, which has 10000 openings per square inch. This is the practical limit of mechanical sieves in respect to fneness, for although finer sieves can be manufactured the necessary uniformity in size of openings cannot be attained. It is well known, how ever, that the minute particles of cement, which are just capable of pass ing through the openings of a No. 200 sieve, are still too large to be of value as cementhg material when mixed with water. Hence the really valuable portion of the cement consists in the extremely fine powder, the amount Of which can only be inferred from the sieve test
