The First Bricks.

• Professor Banks. In chirce of the Chicago university Babylonian ex|*dlUon. writes In the Selentltlc American that bricks were used In Mesopotamia 10.000 years ago. The country •» • great allnvlal plain and bouses bad to be built cf clay. The bulldera found that placing chunks of clay to dry In the sun rendered building easier and made the walla more durable: hence the lirst I •rick*. About 4500 B. C.I Bat.y Ionian discovered that bricks could be burned, and the art gradually progressed. Six thousand years ago makers began to stamp their signs on the bricks, and the royal builders adopted a series of marks which enables the era of bulldlnga to be i lately fixed. Professor Banks fi many bricks in vast edifices stamped “Nebuehadnesznr king of Babylon." J Harry's Weird Translation. Harry, aged eight years, was directed by his mother, who was not feeling well enough to! go to church, to remain after Sunday school for services, to listen carefully for the text from which the minister wonld preach and repeat it to her when be returned. This he faithfully promised, soys the Chicago Tribune, and when the sermon ended harried home and In a breathless way asked his mother to get i -*tr Bible and see how well he bad membered the text. The minister bad preached from the text which reads. "An angel came down from heaven, took a live cogl and laid it upon altar." but this Is the way Harry remembered and repeated It: “An Injun came down from New Haven and'took a live coll by the tall and Jerked It through the halier."

"Such a thing Is oat of reason " “I'm sorry, but It's the only way we can make use of It" replied the news paper man firmly.

Mrs. Ayrton enjoys two other eh viable distinctions. She Is the onl.’ woman member of the Institute o Electrical Engineers, and four years ago was nominated a Fellow Royal society. This Is the first time the highest tribunal of English science bad nominated s woman, such an honor that It attracted Immense attention everywhere, nnd opinion was expressed that the election a woman was Illegal.

Seven years later, when his paper on subject, read before the International Electrical congress, wa* unfortunately honied In Chicago, Mrs. Ayrton surprised her husband by writing a substitute on the points he had noticed, which he declared was better than the original.
