Fireproofinq Concrete Columns.

We have been wont to look upon
concrete as capable of resisting great
deal of heat, and 1t may seem strange
TO think of coating it with a fireproof
material. However, there are condi-
tioDs under which this is necessary.
The bureau Of standards has been in
vestigating the condition of concrete
which has passed through confiagra-
tons, and has found that if the CON
crete is made with gravel, particularly
siliceous gravel. there is a tendency
for the stones to burst in extreme
heat, which disintegrates the concrete.
Accordingly 1t is recommended that
gravel be avoided wherever possible,
but If impossible the gravel concrete
may be protected from extreme heat
by coating it with an inch of cement
held In place by wire mesh. Plasters
may also be used in which asbestos is
the principal constituent.-Scientific

Closed Chapter Of History.

The French newspaper L'Eclair,
which, In one of its recent issues, pub
iished note on the seal used by Jules
Favre at Versailles in 1871, has re-
ceived a letter bearing the signature
Louis, prince de Bourbon" The
writer protests against the expression,
used by LEclair, faux Louis XVII" as
applied to his father. Naundorff; and
the writer incioses a certificate In
which Naundorff is described as duke
OF Normandy, Louis XVII. 1t has not
sufficed of over 100 years completely
to silence that particular chapter of
French history. As L'Eclair remarks
Ever since the sth of June, 1895, the
case was settled for u.s."

kitchener's Doo.

Lord Kitchener's favorite dog, which
he left in the hands of Admiral Grant
before embarking on the cruiser Hamp-
shire, is believed to have become a
good Australian. Admiral Grant. who
has been appointed first naval men,
Der of the Australian naval board,
brought Kitchener's pet to the COM
monwealth on board the battle cruiser
Australia. Ordinarily the common
wealth does not encourage the land
ing of cats and dogs from overseas, but
Australia holds Kitchener In such dear
memory that one may safely conjec-
ture that exception will be made in
this instance.

ships and Their Names.

Peace has brought with 1t the incl
dental discussion in a section of the
English press of the meaning. of and
reason for the names of certain ships
in the British navy. Truly my lords
of the admiralty, acting as sponsors,
have gone to some strange sources for
the nomenclature. Not merely coun-
tries and cities have been drawn upon,
but many of the creatures figuring in
a menagerie have been freely utilized.
Then there are the vessels named
after the public schools and institu-
tions of England, such as Uppingham,
Tonbridge, Westminster, Rugby, Chel-
tenham, EPSON and so on. If Eton
should feel Jealous over the matter Of

fiected comfort in the fact that there

A comparison Of the computed cut Of

decrease of 10 per cent In the North

HelpfuIness of Criticism.

1t is natural to resent criticism. We
dislike anything that shakes our self
complacency or compels us to think.
Here and there man has learned the
real service of criticism and usually
he is man who has attained to more
than average success in life. We are
all more or less like the proverbial os-
trich. We like to convince ourselves
that our faults are really our virtues,
in that we are doing good work in the
world when in truth we are tagging
far behind our actual capacity and
drifting along rather than really liv-

Radio Telephone Useful.

The extraordinary value of wireless
telephony for directional purposes in
connection with aircraft has been en-
phasized recently in its relation to
night flying, says the Scientific Amer
ican. 1t often happens of course, that
in daylight inter-communication be-
tween planes. or between wireless sta
tons and aircraft, is unnecessary, but
in flying across country at night the
use of the wireless telephone will GER
tainly become more eficacious.

Antarctic "Shelf Ice."

From the work of recent explora-
tions. Sir Douglas Mawson concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic ice cap rests is very irregu-
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below, and that its thickness, which is
very variable. may reach maximum
of several thousand feet. Under the
thickest portions the static pressure at
the base may be as great as one ton
per square inch. Under such cover
Ing there may be a considerable accu-
mutation of ground heat, and it is as
sumed that the under portion of the ice
mass is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breaks up the ice at
rate faster than the flow, the sea front
Is substantially the coast line. But
elsewhere, as in the Great Ross barrier
and the Shackleton shelf, the supply
of ice exceeds the rate of erosion at
the sea front. and the overflow from
the land maintains a thick sheet Of
shelf ice" extending far out to sea.
The sea front of the ice cap, at the
present rate of advance or flowing out,
is estimated to have left the center in
the seventh century of our era.

Huge Hallstones.

There are numerous well-authenti-
Gated cases of hailstones weighing half
a pound and more, but claims which
go far beyond this meager weight are
made. Stones of six to eight pounds
are said to have fallen in Namur in
1719, and the missionary, Father Hue,
who ought to be a credible witness,
records the fall in Tartary in 1S43 Of
a block of ice as big as a milestone,
which took three days to melt. In
May, 1902, a Hungarian village report
ed an 1,100-pound block, requiring
eight men to move it, and in Tippoo's
time one as big as an elephant was
said to have fallen near Sergapatam.
These are some" hailstones.

Warblers Of All Colors.

Not taking into account the human

cally all the way from gray-breasted

tion, Washington.

How a Hero Died.

A dramatic incident in which a he
roic young officer faced death in SOL
dierly manner is the climax of a true
story that recently appeared in Stars
and Stripes, the official newspaper of
the American expeditionary forces.
He was Francis NJ. Leahy of Law
renee, Massachusetts, and he had
served in the ranks before he won his
commission. He used to tell of the
days when he was orderly to Captain
Pershing in the Philippines. One day
while he was resting with his men by
the wayside a German shell came
whizzing out of space just as the order
arrived that the regiment fall in and
move on.
The shell plowed up the earth and
stretched on the ground several men
who were just getting to their feet.
1t hit the tree against which Captain
Leahy was leaning and snapped II Off
like stalk of asparagus. A piece of
shell struck him in the back and tore
its way through his chest.
"Good-by, boysl" he said. and his
head sagged forward.
Then 1t was as If, somewhere in the
universe. an invisible commander had
