usE OF CONCRETE NOT MODERN

Concrete. above all others. fs the accepted building material for the present day. and the question nat urally arises. How long will it last ?" Theories. no matter how well sup- ported by argument. are not, after all, conclusive evidence, and the av- craze practical man finds demonstra- ton far more convincing.
 Those persons who doubt the per- manency of our great concrete dams, buildings and other structures would probably be entire reassured if they could inspect a certain concrete arch as the Pont du Gard. which was erected in the rather remote year. 56 B. e.. and which has, therefore, been in use for nearly 2oo0 years. The concrete of this structure was not composed of crushed stone or other small aggregate of the variety now employed In bridge work. but was of the old style, consisting of alternate layers of large and small stones and gravel and of cementitious material. vitruvius describes the materials and methods in use before the Christian era, and many writers of the Middle Ages go into minute details as 10 how 'the ancients" as they called them. "used boards laid on edge, fell ing the space between them with ce- ment and all sorts of large and small stones mingled ogether.'
 It is improbable that the Pond du Gard would have for 90 long with stood the rigors of northern cli- mate, but its state of preservation, as we'll as that of many. other ex- ampies of ancient concrete work, proves that if modern work is honest ly executed it will endure for many oenturies-certainly far longer than any reasonable bond period-so that in the case of public utilities. for ex- ample, a very small yearly sinking fund per cent is all that is required for properly designed and erected concrete work.-New York Sun

MT sGSSs WM not really the
HE MTE. zen name of this
N1a( w ~ LSV state. AS a
W N.Y. XII be seen from
WSSS1~ the state seal,
oe the official
name is the estate of Rhode
Island and Providence Planta-
tons" 1t originated from two
distinct settlements. The first
was made by Roger Williams in
. 1866. He was the pastor of a
church in Salem. AS he advo-
Gated radical reforms he was
ordered to return to England,
but fled to the Narragansett
tribe of Indians. From them he
obtained u tract of land and
called the town which he estab-
lished Providence, In token of
Gods mercy which had so far
provided for him.
About the same time Mrs.
Anne Hutchinson and her fol-
lowers were expelled from Mas
SachuSetts on account of a theo-
logical dispute. She made her
way to the island of Aquidneck,
which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathoms of white
wampum. 20 hoes and 10 coats.
The name Of this island was
hanged to the Isle of Rhodes,
probably after the famous Greek
island in the Mediterranean.
BY common usage 1t became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles ii gave Rhode Island a
very liberal charter, and this re-
manned in force until 1841, when
q new state constitution was
adopted by mass conventions,
and two years later another new
constitution was legally voted.
The hang in constitutions
caused what was known as
DORIS rebellion.
The entrance of Rhode Island
into The Union in 1890 completed
tie list OF the original thirteen
states. Though Rhode Island is
the smallest of all the states,
with only l,24S square miles, it
is very thickly populated and
has five presidential electors,
which is more than those of a
number of states of much larger
territory.

SzHa&4GzGjSH ately brings
N~M to mind the
WN-IIZ Custer Mas
~ Sacre as n
of the most dramatic incidents
in Indian warfare. 1t occurred
in 1876, the Centennial year,
when special emphasis was be-
ing laid on the cause of peace
throughout the world. The
Sioux Indians had been driven
into Montana by the gold miners,
and the United States govern
ment took steps to force them
back into their reservations. Gen
eral Custer, with less than 800
men, set out to round up the
tribes which were on the war
path, and at the Little Bighorn
river, was ambuShed by Sitting
Bull and 5000 warriors. Custer
and all his troopers were killed.
Soon after this massacre the In
dams we're defeated and many
of them fled to Canada.
Gold was discovered in Mon
tana as early as 1872 by the half
breed Francois Finlay near He'll
Gate river. This, however, Gre
ated little stir and it wasn't I'M
til five years later when John
SilverthOrn discovered gold in
quantities, that mining settle
ments sprang up in the noun
tains. This region had been part
of Nebraska territory, which in
1868 was Subdivided and became
a portion of Idaho territory. The
next year it was organized as
the separate Territory of Mon
tana.
Virginia City was the capital
and here in 1865 was issued the
Montana Post, the first newspa-
per of the state. In 1874 the
capital was changed to Helena
and ten years later a state con
stitutiOn was adopted. The state
was not taken into the Union,
however, until 1889.
Montana comes from the Span
: ish adjective meaning "moun-
. famous" Its area is 1896
: square miles, making it the third
. largest state of the Union.
