Concrete Chimney Stack,

A concrete chimney, 300 feet high,
built recently at the plant of Texas
smelling company, and embodying in
its construction a number of new ideas,
is described in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The shell, or walls, form
ing a true circle and tapering from
203s inches thick at the bottom to 5
inches at the top, was built up with
the aid of patent collapsible, or adjust
able, steel forms, used in sections.
These made it easier to secure the ex-
act amount of tapering required as the
chimney rose in height, the concrete
being mixed and tamped in the forms.
The upper part Of the chimney was
built with a patent top, including a
number of finch pipe inlets, regularly
spaced around the stack for the admis-
sion of air from the outside. This re-
suits in arresting mahy of the prod.
ucts of combustion carried up with
the smoke-which then fall down the
chimney into hopper provided neal
the base.

His Double Loss,

A story Of the battle of Jutland is
told by chaplain of the grand fleet.
In ship which was in the thick Of ac-
ton and was well hammered by the
enemy, many poor fellows lost the
number of their mess and many more
were sadly wounded. Among these
latter was sailor, one of whose legs
was so much shattered and lacerated
by splinter Of shell that there was
nothing else to do but amputate it
above the knee.
The wounded man was practically
unconscious from loss Of blood, so the
surgeons were not able to tell him Of
their intentions Of operating. Some
time later he recovered consciousness
and found himself comfortably tucked
up, with the stump dressed and ban
daged. When he learned what had
happened he broke into an agonized
cry--no, not for the erippling he had
undergone; his cry was:
"Where's my leg? For 'evin's sake,
find my leg, somebody! It's got all my
money in the stockingT
