Everywhere flitted fairy-like figures
over the velvety lawns, and through the
corridors of the spacious buildings were
seen the sweet' faces of the fair grad-
uates who were gowned in most dainty
costumes. V '
The large reception rooms and par-
lors of the institute were bowers of
most exquisite flowers . and the class0
violet was preeminent in the
decorations. The beauty of the whole
scene will long be remembered by
those present.‘ ”
_ On alarge violet drapery over the
door of the reception room the letters,

convenience in properly refilling the
trench.
The joints in the back of the masonry
should be raked out with suitable tools
as far 111' as practicable without risk of
disturbing the stones, other than little
spalls; the stones thoroughly. cleaned
by washing; and the joints carefully
pointed, and back of wall plastered,
with Portland cement, of a quality
equal to the Alpha brand; , The cement
should be well forced in, and the joints
and plaste1 ing made as dense as possible
by pressure.
The crev idea of the rock bottom
should be thoroughly cleaned out, and
grouted and plastered. The same
treatment to be accorded all the ex-
posed bottom.
The late James B. Frances, one of
the best known and most experienced
of ,America’s hydraulic engineers, used
to lsay, that a wall-could be made more
inipervious by a plastering of pure ce-
ment on the face next the water, (the
’ back, ) than by any thickness of ma
icnry as ordinarily laid. ~ -
In the case of the large earthen dams
of the Boston Water Works, the chief
dependence to resist permeability is
teh plastering of Portland cement on
the up stream face of the concrete core
Wall. . Concrete is porous and will pass
.Water under heavy pressure; but
. strong, finely ground Portland cement
can be made very dense; and density is
what' is required. ' It is quality not
quantity, that ecunts in this case. A
relatively thin Coating of impermeable
material, like pure Portland cement is
more effective and less costly, than a
thick bed of more porous material, like
concrete. ‘
The height of this dam being rela-
tIVely‘ small, and the water pressure
‘therefdre small, I think a small dose of
sand Would be permissible in the Port-
land'cement for the pointing and plas-
tering, and would reduce the cost. The
. sandlsho‘uld be clean, not coarse, and
the proportion not more than a one to
one mixture; - - . I
I After the‘cem‘ent plastering has set
for'llWO 'or’th'ree'days, it should be care-
fully brushed- over. with a grout of puie
Pol-tland cement, to close any hair like
surface check cracks that may have
developed' In setting. .. -
The joints in the coping should be
pomted to prevent the watei getting
in, freezmg and doing harm.
In filling the trench.. selected fine
material to be used In the bottom, and
'near' the wall the entire height, spread
in thin fibmzontal layers; slightly

TELEGRAPHY WITHOUT NOISE.
A Receiver That Whispers Softly Into the
Operator’s Ear.
The introduction of typewriter ma-
' chines in telegraph offices, on which
operators take down the messages re-
ceived, has necessitated increasing the
volume of sound emanating from the
sounders in order to make their clicks
clearlydlstinguishable above the click
of the typewriter machine. The re-
sult has been that the noise in tele-
graph ofiices has in many cases in-
creased to such an exten as to be a ser—
ious menace to the health of the ope-
raters.
In order to reduce this noise and
make the received message entirely
secret a special sounder has been in-
vented.
closed in a hard rubber case, is very
light, the whole thing, with conduct-
ing cord complete, weighing but four
ounces. It can be used not only with-
out the slightest inconvenience to tho
Operator, but much to his comfort and
advantage, relieving him of all unnec-
essary nerve and physical strain. It
can be attached directly to the main
line, where it acts as a combined re-
lay and sounder, giving it“ the service
of both, without any of the disadvant-
ages of a main line sounder.
The mechanism of this little instru-
ment is very simple, consisting of a
set of electro-magnets of from 2 to 150
ohms resistance (according to require-
ments). An Ingenious arrangement of
the armature and lever brings the for-
mer in actual contact with the poles
of the magnets in such a manner as to
double the working force of the-ar-
mature. The armature lever is pro-
vided with hammers, which in action
strike upon a resound-ins plate;"' a
shifter or switch at the side of the case
draws the hammers from the plate and
reduces the sound to a. minimum.
Owing: to , the loudness of themeund

THE CATjg‘AME BACK.
Found Her \Vay from Havana to Boston.
Reaching Ear Old Home Safely.
Many years ago, while residing at
the “North End," Boston, writes a. cor-
respondent of Our Dumb Animals, I
was the possessor of a cat, which my
brother, who‘ was master of a brig
bound to Havana, prevailed upon me to
give him, and just before sailing pussy
was taken on board of the vessel, then
lying at one of the wharves not far
away. I
, Several weeks elapsed, when one day
thatcat appeared on our kitchen. win-
. dow sill, and upon being admitted save
many evidences of, joy at 'being‘bnce
again at home.
My first thought was that my broth-
er had arrived with his brig, and
. pussy, recognizing the old landmarks,
had found her way back to us, but a
diligent search along the Wharves fail-
ed to discover any signs of the vessel,
and it. was not till several weeks had
passed that I heard of her arrival at
Portland, Me.
Upon interviewing my brother in re-
gard to the cat, 'he informed me that
he lost her while in Havana, and Was
much surprised to learn that she had
retul'ned to',Boston. , But the mystery
seemed to be explained by‘his recol-
‘ lectlng that there was a Boston-bound
vessel lying near by, in. which puss
had probably taken passage._
