conversation of the evening regard

press itself repeatedly upon my mind
AS a boy ! had worke ed at the Job OF
building a concrete house. The house
still stands on the shore OF Dundalk
bay. in the little village OF Annagasan,
and is. or was. occupied by coas,
guards.
The thought keep pressing in upon
me. Build a concrete boat
Consideration Of the idea from
every angle left no doubt in my
mind that concrete boat would
float. for. after all, 1t Is simply a
matter OF displacement. An iron
ship will float, SO will steel ship
and so. too. will q concrete ship.

TRULY convinced that q concrete
ship would float, could be rugged
and sailed. I thought long on the
ingredients that go to make concrete.
OF sand. gravel and broken stone we
had an abundance: cement, the one
essential, was lacking. How could
get a substitute for cement?
Morning came. but no solution to
the query, though I had not closed
my eyes all night. trying to solve the
problem.
For days and nights I tried to
think out some way of providing a
substitute for cement Finally, I
gave up the idea OF substitute and
started out to search the rocks for
stone that would make the genuine
article.
Several specimens of stone were
carried to camp. kept my idea to
myself. determined frst TO make
tests.
A piece Of good blue limestone was
selected and broken up into fine par
ticles. Then had men grind those
particles between stones until a pow
der was produced. In all, we had
about ten pounds.
The hard part Of the test was yet
to come. Cement is subjected to a
burning process. We had no burner.

permitted to burn until nothing was

'How do the seeds get from tree to

story. basis OF the Latin proverb
about 'the bird which carries its own
enemy" s.
1t Is the mistle thrush. which Is
particularly fond of mistletoe berries.
Being inclosed within the very sticky
pulp, seeds cling to the birds beak
and are rubbed off (because Disagree

tender young green branch. Isn't

Why is the. berry the birds enemy?
1t is nutritious and agreeable food.
Alas, also, its sticky pulp is the
unique material from which bird lime
is made to capture little birds, just
as fly paper captures flies.
Mistletoe, mysterious and lonely In
west Europe. has a quantity of reia-
tives in the tropics and two cousins
in the south of France.
The dwarf-juniper mistletoe. which
lives on the red-berried juniper of
the Mediterranean. Is leafiess and
bears blue berries. The fuIl-grown
plant does not exceed two inches
high. The loranthus europaeus, which
battens on oak and chestnut trees OF

grows to largo size.

final effort We should have to use the
boat 10 cover the distance between
the Crozet Islands and the western
coast OF Australia, a distance roughly
estimated at about 2.400 miles. To
sail this distance In an open boat
would, of itself. be a test of great
endurance, particularly SO If there
were no shelter provided for the men
when they lay down to rest.
The hull of the boat about COM

determine on the best type OF rig.
After much discussion 1t was decided
that she should be a sloop. In ac-

and set In place a strong, substantial
mast and bowsprtt.
THERE were three or four very
good sailmakers In the crew. so
we measured off the length OF the
