AGE-0LD BUILDING MATE RIAL
"Pise," in Use for Many Centuries, is
Merely Simple Form Of
Concrete.

What is plse? The word. which In
It's complete form is written pise de
teTe, betrays French origin and,
from its general appearance, might
well suggest some affinity with the
world of art. These preliminary inn
'pressions, however, will be found mis-
leading. There is nothing peculiarly
French in pise dwellings, though they
are common enough in some parts Of
France, and reference TO them aboundS
in French literature of the eighteenth
century
The word ITSELF traced to its Latin
origin, apparently means nothing more
artistic than battered" Perhaps the
simplest definition of pise is provided
by Pliny the Elder, who calls it
earth battered between boards"
meaning by boards form such as may
be used for concrete in construction
work
The Roman sage adds that ii was an
old and well-tried system of building
and remarks that Hannibal used this
material for watch towers on the tops
of hills in Spain during his campaign.
Who knows whether it was not also
in use when Cheops built his Great
Pyramid; for there are prehistoric
pise buildings in New Mexico and Ari-
IONA which. some say, date back al
most to that period?
Certainly history cannot trace the
system to its origin, and the pise
dwellings now visible in France, Spain,
America, the British colonies and
elsewhere may give no complete indi-
cation of the extent to which this ma
terial was employed in other centuries.

Proves Worthy Descendant OF
Race of Chiefs.

Wounded With-Many-ArrOws Is an
Indian living in South Dakota.
According to an Indian custom, the
first thing an Indian mother sees or
says after her child is born may be
chosen as the infants name. The
night of his birth, in April, 1891 the
mother saw warrior who had been
wounded by many arrows hence the
name given to the newborn child.
Entering the world war in the
armies Of the great white father at
Washington, the first thought Of this
copper-skinned descendant Of race
Of chiefs was of his mother, whom he
named as the beneficiary in his SlO,-

The mothers name is Susan-Loyes-

among the first to respond 20 the call
Of the United States for soldiers to
fight for their country; she was glad
when he came back. unframed, full Of
wonderful stories Of the adventure
through which he had passed And
she realized that he had, by allotment
of pay and by his insurance policy,
demonstrated that all he had was hers,
as everything he was he owed to her.
