Fireproofing Concrete Columns. We have been wont to look upon concrete as capable of resisting a great deal of heat, and It may seem strange to think of coating it with a fireproof material. However, flier*' are conditions under which tlds is necessary. The bureau of standards b s been Investigating tbe condition ot concrete which lias passed through conflagrations, and 1ms found that '.C the concrete Is made with gravel, particularly siliceous gravel, there Is a tendency for the stones to hurst In extreme heat, which disintegrates the concrete. Accordingly it is recommended that gravel he avoided wherever possible, but if Impossible the gravel concrete may he protected front extreme heat by coating It with an Inch of cement held in place by a wire mesh. Plasters may also he used In which asbestos Is the principal constituent.—Scientific American.

Famous French Fortress in Canada Has Long Been Demolished and Soon the German Stronghold Is to Be Razed. Announcement that the German forts on tlie island of Helgoland tire to he demolished reeu.'s Hie similar fate of a glorious,lani'niark on Canadian soil. This Is Lonlsbourg, Nova Scotia, once the pride of New France, and now a pile of ruins, with hut a faint echo of its original splen-

dor.

Lottisbourg was the remnant of Flench power on tin* Atlantic coast when the treaty of Ftrecht was signed In 1713, reducing the fortunes of Louis XIV to a low ebb. From 1720 to 1760 It led a precarious but spectacular existence. Its magnificence as a defense guaranteed by the expenditure of millions of dollars by the Fr< neh government, though millions were stolen and wasted by dishonest officials and unhappy officers, wtiose only ambition was to get rich ami go

home.

The fortress was imposing, despite tlie thievery and mismanagement, and it required a seven weeks’ siege Ity

A romance that began ten years ago in California culminated in a pretty wedding Sunday afternoon, when Corporal Arthur Elmore, of Greencastle, and Miss Leora M. Miller, of English, Ind., were married at the home of Captain and Mrs. R. T. Lawless, near Temple. The ceremony

was performed by

Cummins. The groom is a son of Alford Elmore, of .Greencastle, and the bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (Minor P. Miller and is one of the owners of the Miller Sisters' stock farm. Th e young couple met ten years ago when Miss Miller and Mrs. Lawless were conducting a business at Oakley, Cal., and a courtship began. When more than a year ago the sisters returned to their native coun-

With the roundhouse force operating, officials of the Dig Four railroad said that it will be n long time before the strike of the back shop employes will have any effect on train operations.

By one of those diplomatic Incidents too plentiful in the history of the new world, Louishonrg was handed buck to France In 1748 by the treaty of Aix-la-Chnpolle. The New Englanders were furious, hut ten years later tlie British army and navy, with such rising strategists as Amherst and Wolfe taking part, again laid siege by land and sea, and in another campaign of seven weeks recaptured the

stronghold.

The days of the great fortress were now numbered. The home of discontent. tlie abode of smugglers, the den of thieving officialdom received its death warrant in 1700 at the hand of George II and Pitt In London. So well was the warrant executed that fur months sailors, sappers and miners v orked until they laid Louisbourg lev-

Historic Tree Now Only a Memory. Tlie "tree in the rood” a mile and n half west of Hartford, Mich., has been out down to clear tlie way for a new concrete road. This maple tree, supposed to lie more than a hundred years old, was the most famous and most cherished landmark of the region. Standing in the middle of the road on the crest of a hill, it had from the time of the oldest Inhabitant been used ns n point from which all distances were measured. In giving directions a place was always said to he a certain distance "tills side of the tree in the road" or n certain distance “beyond tlie tree in the road.” With the advance of civilization, however, the natives have reluctantly concluded Mint the tree can be dispensed with, since the only distance people ask about now is tjie distance between gasoline tanks.—Exchange.

Education in China. Chinn is still in Mie transition period In education. The modem school has not entirely replaced tlie ancient methods, with large emphasis on the classics, verbal memorizing and the writing of the essay. The conception of the need of practical education Is on the Increase.
