writes Dr. S. A. lnopf in the World's

remarkable results are obtained in the

German , there : pre along the seacoasts .
coasts numerous splendidly equipped
sanatoria for that purpose. In the
United States we M\\'e thus far vir-

that the New York Society for the

" Arc.Light Distributor.
The operation of the arc light has
been lately improved by the me or

changes the appearance : or the lamp
entirely. The use of prisms is now
largely resorted teas a means or dl.
rt'cting light rays to dark corners and
places remote from winl10w5 and other

made use of in ' 'the arc light distributor
for the purpose of concentrating the
, light In certain directions where most
' desired without completely ! shutting
them off from the other Quartt'rs
The arc light distributor is especial-

ly designed for street illumination and
; particularly for the intersections of
strc ts. It consists of four panels or
" ' plain glass and four prisms , and it will
be easily seen from the cuts how these
may be arranged to the end that the
rays wm be more generously directed
up and down the streets. The direct
rays from the light are allowed to
shine through the panels of plaIn
r glass and are augmented by the rays
' s diverted by the prisms. In this manner .
net it is said to be possible to mum-
irate the streets with fewer lights.

C.V. . H.-How much lime would be
needed to lay up 700 bricks in a
chimney . and plaster the chimney on
the inside ? What arC the proportions -
Hens of line and rand for a strong
mortar ? Should the bricks be laid

It would require about two and
three-Quarters bushels of lime to lay
700 brl'ks The usual proportions ot
lime and sand for ,000 bricks Is from
three to four bushels of limo to thrC'e-
Quarters of a yard of sand ; some lime
will go farther than others. In very
warm weather bricks should always
be wet before being laid , but In very
cool or freezing weather they should
be kept drr.
