The member was. at a loss as to the
occasion on which he had been unpro-

that when he was called to serve on a
jury in ‘a recent murder case he was
excused on the ground that he did not

| CEMENT TANKS FOR WINE.
French Dealers Use Immense Glass’
Lined Vats For Storage.
Several years ago cement tanks be-
gan to take the place of wooden tanks
in a number of the larger wine stor-
age houses. One of the reasons for
this substitution appears to have been
the cheaper cost of material for ce-
ment tanks, as the price for timber
had been gradually rising, and even
at-the higher prices was scarce and
difficult to secure.
Although constant improvement
was being effected in the construction
and utilization of cement or concrete
tanks, the great objection to their
use still remained that in the storage
of wines the acids in the liquid very
often decomposed the cement, while
the cement walls in turn absorbed
the freshness and bouquet of the
wine. - The wooden tanks were more
expensive, but their value was great-
er, as they preserved the wine in a
proper condition, : :
The effort to place acidproof lin-
ings or coating on the walls of cement
tanks seems to have proved of slight
value in the matter of ameliorating
the conditions of absorption. But the
| idea of coating the walls with squares
of glass, tightly joined ‘with cement,
is said to have solved the difficulty,
as, according to the Cement Age, a
tartar forms on' the thin surface of
cement and resists all acid attacks.
‘As constructed in France, glass
lined cement tanks may be used for
all kinds of liquids except those con-
taining a large: percentage of acids,
the latter leading to the decomposi-
tion of the cement joints and the
loosening of the glass plates. These
tanks are particularly useful as stor-
age receptacles for wines, alcohols,
lene, kerosene, turpentine, etc.
It is said that tanks so constructed
are neither affected by humidity nor
by infiltrations, that they resist fire
and inundation, and have a further
advantage in that they .are not liable
to be struck by lightning as are tanks
of metallic material. Variations of
temperature effect a minimum loss by
evaporation, the degree being report-
ed at less than one per cent. At
lose between six and seven per cent.
These tanks are made in all sizes,
or more in capacity. The walls of the
larger tank constructions are gener-
ally re-enforced with iron armature.
An installation at Havre consists of
eighty-three glass lined tanks, having
a capacity of 290,687 gallons.
Another plant is two stories and
pacity of 26,417 gallons.
stallation is three stories,” the third
floor being used for the filtration of
wine under natural pressure. The
plant at Chalons sur Marne has a ca-
pacity of 72,647 gallons. All of these
plants are used for the storage of
wines. :
Night-Blindness.
Inability to see by day is matched
by the commoner mnight-blindness
which most of us: have known in
friend or relative. This .defect,
which includes an inability to see
even by artificial light, is congenital
with some people and never over-
come. It is often hereditary. It may
also be caused, however, by long ex-
posure to overbright light, coupled
with fatigue. A strange story is told
concerning a ship’s crew two centur-
ies ago, which was overcome by
night-blindness so extreme that their
captain was obliged to force a fight
with a Spanish privateer during the
day, knowing that by night his men
would be helpless. In order to ob-
viate this difficulty for future occa-
sions he ordered each sailor to keep
one eye bound during the daytime,
discovering, to his gratification, that
this eye, having rested, was then free
of the defect. The sailors were very
amusing in their efforts to retain the
bandage well over the eye that must
be ready for night duty, and so a
‘method of modifying this trouble was
discovered.—Strand Magazine.
Bad Handwriting.
Every man who -has his living to
earn or any work in the world to do
ought to be made to understand that
if he does not write legibly at least,
if not beautifully, it is entirely his
own fault, and that if- he is made to
suifer for ‘it he has only himself to
blame. The pestilent theory that
bad+ writing is the 'sign of a great
mind ought to receive no countenance
from men of common sense. It is
sometimes, no doubt, the result of ex-
treme ‘pressure of ‘business; but in
most cases it is the sign either of
bad training or of a contemptible per-
versity in fashion or of a ‘careless and
unstable disposition which will dis-
play ‘itself ‘sooner or later in things
much more important than hand-
writing. In no case is it to be com-
mended; in ‘only’ few cases is it to
be even excused.~—London Times.

A 700-Year-Old Hermitage.
There is a curious rock hermitage
at Dale Abbey, about seven miles
from Derby, England. From the chron-
‘icle of one Thomas de Musca, a can-
non of Dale in the fifteenth century, |
we gather that a baker of the name of
Cornelius, of the parish of St. Mary-
-of-the Brigg, in Derby, was visited in
his sleep by the Virgin, who bade him
abandon all his worldly possessions
and go and live a life of solitary de-
votion at Deepdale. He did not know
the place, but, as generally happens
in such cases, his steps were miracul-
ously directed thither. He excavated
‘the cave out of the sandstone rock,
erected an altar, adorned by an im-
age of the Virgin, and there for the
rest of his days “served God day and
night,” until in the course of time “he
departed happily to God out of the
prison house of the body.” His cell,
locally known as the “Hermitage,” is
embowered in trees, and, although
some seven and a half centuries have
passed since it was constructed, it has
undergone but little change.—Wide
