llAlYORITE SONS
ARE DISCOURAGED

Z WASHINGTON. Dec. l2.-Presiden.
tiAl booms did not get anywhere with
the Republican national leaders who
have been gathered in Washington
this week. Men from throughout the
country who win have influence In the
national convention at Chicago next
June were In great numbers but, with
few exceptions, they came and. went
away without committing themselves
to any particular aspirant- Friends of
one candidate came here with the
evident intention Of stampeding the
crowd. but they reduced their speed
when 1t became apparent that there
was general feeling against reach
ing any presidential conclusions just
yet.
Most of the members Of the national
committee are in favor of sending un-
instructed delegates to the conven-
ton. This sentiment is said to pre-
vail even in states with favorite sons.
William Barnes, Jr., brought the word
from New York that the Republican
leaders of that state have agreed to
elect delegates who will be free to
act In the convention as the situation
then demands. lobe Hert, national
committeeman. of Kentucky, express
ed the belief that his state will not
instruct its delegates. He gave nc
1ntimation as to his choice for the
presidency.

ICE USED TO MAKE HOLES
IN STRUCTURAL CONCRETE

(F'rom the Scientific American,)
Up to the present is has been DOS
sible to make only small cavities in
concrete, but under a new German
patent big advance appears to have
been brought about. Pieces of ice,
corresponding in size to the measure
ments of the cavity required, are i'm
bedded in the concrete mass, and
small channels are introduced to al
low Of the rapid removal Of the water
after melting.
In this way not only can small con-
crete constructions, such as pillars,
beams and stairs, be supplied with .
hollow space, but large fixed blocks
can be made with several chambers.
such as are required for walls of
houses or ships. The process is of
particular ADVANTAGE in reinforcing
concrete with iron. The iron parts
are not built in during the stamping.
but are attached to the ice blocks be-
fore tho beginning Of the work, which
increases its strength. The contin-
ual moistening usual in concrete work
80 rendered unnecessary by the new
process, as the loss by evaporation is
made good from the melted ice.

Brown of Quechee, VT, who had some
stirring experiences abroad as an adiu-

George Fl. Shelton of the Goth division,

"A detail was engaged in burying the
dead" said Captain Cooper, and as /

among those laid along the gruesome
row. A soldier was just removing his
Identification tag and ! stopped to in
vestigate the wound that had caused his
death,
81 didn't find it, for there wasn't any.
He was just sleepy, very sound asleep,
that's all, and it was my pleasant duty
to rescue him from being buried alive"
That's right" interposed Major
Brown, with a eoniirmatory nod of the
head, that's just what you did
The statement Of his being asleep
under such conditions is not so strange
as it appears to one unaequainted with
the circumstances" continued Captain
Cooper. HE had been on duty for five
days and nights and his con
dition was due to an exhaustion Just
short of complete collapse and death
There was very little heart action and
while | succeeded in arousing him so
that he talked with me he had no recol-
lection of it after he came out Of the
hospital a few days later.

Innovations resulting from shortages
in material included the substitution of
