Generate us. Salt Water.

A series of time tests to determine the action of salt water upon different grades of concrete has recently been completed in Boston. Five years ago, 24 concrete piers were sunk into the waters of Charleston bay. These piers were 16 feet long and as many inches square in order that a large surface might be available for the action of the salt water.
 Last month they were taken up for inspection. One was practically in perfect condition. One was almost completely severed near the middle by the erosion of the water and oth- CTS showed signs of disintegration. Each specimen represented different formula for producing concrete. The result of this test will be of practical value in future construction of sea walls, breakwaters and other concrete work exposed to salt water.

having the flags of their own little states adopted, felt willing to have the claims of the larger overbearing states ignored, as well as their own, so they voted with the Prussians, and the black, white and red was &C., cepted
 Then again, the smaller kingdoms insisted that each shoeid keep it's own flag to fly at the head of it's own particular contingent in the army. This proposition was voted down, as it was decided it would give valuable information to an enemy as to the number of troops, a great mistake in war times. An other proposition. that of hanging black, red and white stripes parallel to the staff, was decided adversely, on the ground that the red, white and blue stripes of the French flag, being hung in that manner, the two flags might be confused in the midst of battle This ended the question: and the Prussian flag, with the ad- dition of the imperial red, was adopt ed as the national standard of the whole German empire.

GREAT EMPIRES FLAG
COMBINATION REPRESENTED IN
 THE GERMAN BANNER.
Council Appointed to Select Suitable Emblem Had a Rard Task-Prus- sian Delegates Finally Set
 tied the Question.

When the present German empire was established by uniting the sey- eral German states into one realm, the question arose as to what flag the new empire should fly. AS 1t happened, each state wanted it's own special standard adopted, and no two of them were alike, though as a gen eral thing each was composed of two eolors; thus Prussia had black and white, Bavaria blue and white, Sax ony green and white. and every other state no matter how small, possessed a flag.
 When the great German empire be- came an established fact. naturally it was necessary to adopt banner that would be distinctive, and include all the states, as every government insisted on being represented, A council was appointed to take charge of the whole matter, and the diff. culty it encountered in coming to a decision will be better appreciated when it is remembered that there were at least 40 combinations to be made if all were to be satisfied with the arrangement.
 The larger states, the kingdoms, proposed that their flags should be united and thus form the national flag, but the delegates from the small principalities objected so strongly to the ignoring of their claims to recog- milton that this plan was voted down. Another proposition was that all the smaller states should be represented on jack or corner of the flag, and have a series of stripes, each repre- senting the five cities of larger states. This was also rejected as too cumbersome an arrangement. Again it was suggested to have each state, large or small. represented in the body of the flag, method of DOT tioning cut the surface in squares, so much to each state. This in convenient and inartistic plan was also rejected.
 The Prussian delegates, however, next prepared combination of col CTS and, of course, black and white were not cast aside. The idea was to adopt a flag composed of black and white and red, as this latter had always been considered an imperial color The other kingdoms objected fiercely to the predominanee of the black and white of Prussia over the blue and white and green and white of Bavaria and Saxony, but the Prus sian delegates found allies in those from the smaller states. who, recog- nizing that there was no hope of

 Preparing Fruits and Vegetables Tor the Can: All fruits and vegetables have to be prepared for the can first by a thorough washing. Those from which the skins are to be removed should be peeled or Fcalded.
 Blanching: Blanching consists or plunging the vegetable or fruit into boiling water for a short time. Use wire basket or cheese cloth square Tor this. The blanch gives more thor ough cleaning, removes the strong odor and flavor from certain kinds of vegetables. improves the texture and gives clearer liquor. It also shrlnks the fruit or vegetable and makes It more flexible. A full pack is then more easily made. The time required for blanching varies with the state of maturity.

contain only enough liquor to fill the spaces and cover the contents. Weigh a sufficient number of cans before and after filing to obtain an accurate idea of average net weight. On account of expansion in processing, corn can be packed less full than other vege- tables. These instructions do moi cover the canning of corn for market Mark cans with pencil or knife to show contents. Plan in advance and work rapidly. Let one person o9 backing and another attend to the weighing. Do not allow filled cans to stand before adding liquor and ex- hausting.
 Seasoning: Adding brine, syrup or water. After adding to with r inch of top. shake can gently to dispiace all air within the can.
 Exhausting: After placing the rub Der on the tops of glass jars, the tops should be screwed on to the last turn thereby leaving a space through which the air can pass out. When exhaust ing tin cans the opening in the top of the cap is left open for the same purpose.
 Processing: After p4acng jars in the hot water the time is not kept un- til after the boiling is started. The boiling should be kept up until the required length of tune is up, which differs, of course. with the fruits and vegetables. The tops of the jars are fastened tight immediately upon re- moval from the boiling water.
 Labelling: After eight to ten days, or immediately before selling, label all cans. Place the sealed end down so that the opposite end will appear at the top when placed on the shelf Use a rather dry paste, and put 1t only on the label at the end so that no paste will touch the tin. Label all glass jars about one-half inch from the bottom of the jar.
