MOST VALUABLE OF DEMENT'S
Is Highly Esteemed as
Building Material.

Portland cement is considered by
far the most important OF the stone
cements. 1t is an artificial product,
named from It's resemblance to Port
land stone. This stone is a freestone
quarried in the Isle of Portland Ga
peninsula supposed to have been for
merly an island), in the county of
Dorset, England The stone hardens
upon exposure to the air, remarks an
exchange.
In the manufacture Of Portland ce-
ment by the wet process, three parts
of white chalk are mixed with one
part Of clay. The two substances.
along with the water, are placed In a
wash MILL" in which cutters reduce
the whole to a creamy "slurry." The
slurry then passes into reservoirs.
There it is allowed to settle for some
weeks, when the superfiuous water is
removed by decantation. The mixture
is next dried on heated iron plates
and then burned In kilns. Finally 1t
is ground to a fine powder. Portland
cement is manufactured by the dry
process from hard limestones. These
limestones are crushed small mixed
In the proper proportions with clay,
then roughly burned and ground to
powder. Since Portland cement is
hardly ever employed pure, its strength
Is perhaps best tested when it is
mixed with an equal weight of sand.

TOOK SENTIMENT TO HEART
Father of Dead Maori Youth Found
Comfort In Maeterlinck's Really
Beautiful Contention.

A pathetic story Of a Maori father
comes from the pen of Mr.. Rex Hunter,
who was born and grew up among
them. In Asia, he writes:
When l went riding, Koru, who did
odd Jobs round the place and who
rode pony that he called Polo, came
along as a sort of attendant. But his
attitude was different from that of an
English groom; instead of clubbing me
"Mr." or Sir" he always called me by
my first name.
7 While l was sojourning in the South
sens, during an absence from New
Zealand, letter from my sister in
formed Inc Of Koru's death. He had
contracted smallpox. In replying l
referred to Maeterlinck's contention
that the dead are never actually dead
SO long as the living remember them.
In simple words my sister told that part
of my letter to Ben, the father of the
dead boy, and the thought seemed to
impress him deeply. In her next letter
my sister wrote:
Yesterday | went with Ben to put
flowers on Koru's grave. Ben talked
as If the boy could hear him. He
said, We'll, Koru, here we are come to
see you. We no forget you. You no
dead while we remember you, Koru.
Polo, the pony, is all right and wonder
where you are. Every little while we
come to see you. And then as we left
he said, 'Goo'-by, Koru. You no dead
while we remember youths Com
panion.

BARNACLES LONG A MYSTERY
Up to a Comparatively Few Years Ago
the Small Creatures Were
Wrongly Classed.

So indefinite and haZy were the re-
suits of investigation In its case that
until very few years ago the
barnacle was classed with the mol
lusca. although it is really a crusta-
ceai. 1t is developed from free-swlm-
ming larvae and attaches itself to
rocks or timbers, which it never leaves
again unless torn off by force.
There prevailed during the Middle
ages q curious superstition That me
barnacle was the egg Of a migratory
goose, the eggs being attached to the
branches of trees that Overhung the
water. Not until il was found that the
bird had Its nesting place In the
Arctic regions and came South dur
ing the polar winter was this notion
disproyed. But the bird Is still known
as the barnacle goose.
The barnacle also attaches ltseli
to living organisms one Of its favorite
lodging places being the huge bulk OF
rhe whale. Sometimes, 1t Is contend
ed, il ventures even into the jaws OF
the big mammal 1t is one of the
paradoxes of nature that the leviathan
! of the deep is utterly powerless 10
cope with the small crustacean, which,
at its largest size, when within the
shell. is about as big as chestnut. 1t
is believed that whales sometimes rub
themselves against ships in their at
tempts to rid themselves of their up'
welcome tenants.

FISH NOT BRED FROM EGGS
Scientists Have Discovered Small
Species That Undoubtedly Bear
Their Young Alive.

The habit of laying eggs is so near
ly universal among fishes that prob
ably most people will be surprised,
SAYS Science Siftings, to learn that
certain small species actually bear
their young alive. Among these is the
large family of killifishes, or Cyprino-
dontidae. In such species the young
are born in comparatively advanced
stage of development. When born
they closely resemble the adult fish.
All Of them are very tenacious of life.
That the bearing Of the young alive
by certain fish is not significant of
higher state of evolution, as the lay
man might naturally suppose, Is
proved by the fact that 1t occurs In
many species of the sharks and their
cousins the rays, though these are
among the earliest, /. e., the most an
Client fishes that we know. This habit
Of procreation has been developed in
order to give the young fry a better
chance of survival than they might
otherwise have-it is literally case
Of "fewer babies but better ones" The
most curious Of all these fishes Is the
genus Anableps which lives In the
streams of the American tropics. This
Is sometimes called the rOur-eyed fsh
for the reason that its large promi-
nent eyes, which actually resemble
marbles on the top Of the head, are
divided horizontally into two parts,
the lower half being fitted for water
vision and the upper half for air
vision

ORDER MARTIAL
LAW IN PICKING
AMERICAN LEGATION IN CHINA
ASKS FOR ANOTHER
BATTLESHiP.
CIVIL WAR IN CHINA
HuNDREDS kJIIED IN DESpER.
HUNDREDS KILLED IN DESPER-
ATE BATTLE NEAR CHINESE
CAPITAL.


Peking.=AIartial law has been de-
elared in Picking. The armies of Gen.
Chang Tso-Lin and Gen. WI Pei-Fu
have been fighting continuously. The
lighting centered around Changsinton,
twelve miles distant. A government
eommunique say Chang Tso-Lin was
victorious in the fighting at Machang.
The American legation has request
ed Washington to send another war
ship to Tientsin.
President Hau Shin Chang, in con-
sequence of the hostilities, has issued
three proclamations, calling attention
to the serious consequences to China
which might result from the leopard
lzing of foreign interests.
The first proclamation said the
Chinese people were terrified: that
merchants were suffering losses and
the industry of the nation was de-
moralized. Therefore, it was demand
ed that Chang Tso-Lin and WI Pei
Flu Immediately withdraw their
armies.
The second proclamation declared
that as Picking was the capital of the
nation, peace and order must prevail.
Emphasis was laid in the third proc
lamation of the necessity to protect
the lives and property of foreigners
ana for compliance with treaties with
the powers. 1t was added thai the
Chinese railroad administration had
sent n protest to the government as
sorting that the railroads of the conn
try face bankruptcy in of
the suspension of traffic, and that
this fact involves foreign obligation.
Chang Tso-Lin's forces occupv the
village of Changsintlen. where 100
wounded have been taken into the
houses of natives. The lead were
left on the battle field. Reliable de-
tails as to the casualties are not OBJ
tainable.
From the hillside overlooking the
Hun river he witnessed the operations
OF both armies, with Chang Tso-Lin's
troops holding the village of Chang
sintien and the WI Pei-Fu forces two
miles southwark fighting desperately
to advance.
Smoke from the cannon enveloped
the hillsides; shells were bursting in
the trenches; camels were to be seen
transporting guns to various points
and refugees were observed running
from their homes. A vivid picture Of
the seriousness of the struggle was
obtained.
About 1000 dead or wounded were
observed by Commander Hutchins.
Both sides appeared to be Smelling
wide areas. The relative position OF
the contending forces did not seem to
have changed materially since the bat
tie began.
The opinion expressed by Comman-
der Hutchins is hat WI Pei-Fu's OBJ
ject is to push forward and capture
Picking, with n view to controlling af-
fairs from the capital. Chang Tso-
Lin in n declaration asserted that WI
Pei-Tu was ambitious to become a
Chinese Napoleon. He declared that
peace would not be possible until WI
Pei-Fu was captured and banished
like Napoleon.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they nave the disease.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for q sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.
