This new material was exhibited at the Nuremberg Exposition,' where it attracted much attention. These. bricks have not only been largely used for building purposes on account' of their light-, nese and isolating properties, but they are also employed as a covering for steam boil- • ers, and are said to exoel even asbestos in preventing the radiation' of heat. They, are represented as being very cheap, being prepared by the use ofsmall corks, refuse and isolating Dement. The usual size of„•the brick is 10x 4.34 x2.12 inches.

The oeten- -sible object is, of course, to have the ladies' diamonde looked after, and as it is the habit of certain Amerioan,ladies'to put on their diamond necklaces when they go out for a ride in a bobtailedoar, the utility of it is not questioned. • Ouatow, which regulates allthings, has ,decreed •that ladies .who only carry from ten to twenty thousand dollars' worth of diamonds on their persons shall nor indulge in more than one detective.

His talent for muslo he inherited" from his grand, father, a sturdy Anvereoia, who for many years had an appointment as chanter at the Collegiate Church of Louvain, and afterwards at Bonn "obtained a patent as court wueiotan. The second story, whioh for a Tong time held its place in a German enveloped* ,says that Beethoven was a natural eon of Frederick William II., King of Pr.'.assia... On being asked about this mat. ter, Bootheyen declared that on prinoiple he never answered any question about hitt. self. That he did not believe this rumor appears from Beethoven's request to a friend " to make known to theo w rld the honesty of :hie "parents' and eepeoially hie mother," To aim at the happiness of otherb MUMS above ourselves." • TUE fUOISI EBInONalEB SWIMS, ExtraortiLnary Preceediu51 at 11. r Funeral.
