CONCRETE
Tells how to build a Silo, a root
cellar, a water -trough, a culvert, a
retaining wall, o' a gate post. Expiltms
why it is better to build these (and
numerous other farme utiliticsl of con-
crete, than of any other known
material. Gives simple yet complete
directions. All the buildings and
small jobs the farmer needs to build
can be constructed of concrete, which
is nothing more nor less than a com-
bination of cement, sand, pebbles or
cnlshed stone --all staple products
easily and cheaply obtainable.

tages of Concrete: -fireproof; water-
tight; durable, vermin -proof; sanitary;

Storing Energy.
Long years ago a 31(11311 made Eng-
land laugh by going to the Patent Of -
;lice with a plan for the conservation
of energy. He mid 11e could store
Ienough energy to move the Bank of
England. Be couldn't. But to -day
this idea is a commonplace 101)1011 is
Put into operation every clay.
Watch the great bascules of the
'Tower Bridge swing up and •down like
a child's toy! In America it is a eons -
mon thing to move a house or hotel
into the next street. Ay, and without
asking the lone to quit! The crank
said Ile could do this task by putting
energy into a box. What is this but
hydraulics'?
Watch, tee, an electric train rushing
like a great projectile out of the Tube
into the station crowded with passen-
gers. Stich a marvel is the result of
stored energy. And inventors are even
now seeking a method which will bring
all locomotion into the radius of elee-
trieal power.
One of the corunonest crani. inven-
tions of the old clays was ahvays some,
thing of the "double -screwed, motor -
pedalled., shooting -valve" order, which
would enable voyagers to be independ-
ent of their surroundings till they
reached the planet Mars, when they
could "get out and wall."
A Daily Occurrence.
The first thing necessary is to pro-
vide a hermetically -sealed box, pad-
ded, capable of: holding several men..
Hydrogen -gas colt0}nec1 in a false bot-
tom or the car will huoy it up, and
jars of oxygen, 3(8 well as compressed
food, will keep the breath and heat of
life in the voyage's during their jour-
ney.
Certainly Mars has not been reach-
ed, or oven the moot! But the air-
tight eau', the c'otllpreteted food, and the.
'jars of oxygen are the commonplaces
of le -day,
1 ','ho 1700111 have believed, for in-
staece, that z maul could be put into
an absolutely air -tight box, gradually
accustomed to an air pressure which
