An Enormous Block of Concrete.— On the 10th February, a paper on this subject was read at the Insitution of Civil Engineers, in London, by Mr. B. B. Storoy, M.A., M. Inst. C.B. The author described a method of submarine construction with blocks of concrete far exceeding in bulk anything yot attempted. These were bnilt in the open air on a wharf, and after two or three months' consolidation were lifted by a pair of shear legs, ereotod on an iron barge, and conveyed to their destination in the foundations of a breakwater or similar structure, where each blook occupied several feet in length, and reaohed from the bottom to a little above low-water level. The superstructure was afterwards built on the top of the blook in the nsnal manner. This method was very economical, and the resulting strnotnre well calculated to 1 withstand the violence of the sea. In this way an extension of the North Wall Quay in the port of Dublin wan now being boilt, nearly forty-three feet high. Eaoh of tho blocks which composed the lower part of the wall was twonty-one feet high, twenty-four feet four inches wide, and twelve feet long, the weight being 350 tons. The foundations for the wall were prepared by moans of a diving bell. The paper also contained a description of an annular block of concrete, nineteen feet in diameter, weighing eighty tons, which was constructed for the base of a beacon tower, and conveyed to its Bite, two miles down the . Liffoy. Homoway's Pills. — When inclement weather checks to a considerable extent the natural exhalations of tho skin, an alterative is required to expel them entirely from the body through . some other channel. llollo way's Pills can he conßdently recommended ns the easiest, surest, i and safost means of attaining this desirable end without weakening the most delicate or incom. ( moding the most feeble. When, from frequent chills or impure air, the blood becomes foul and the secretions vitiated, these Pills present a ' ready and efficient means of cleansing the i former and correcting the latter. By this salu- , tary proceeding disease is arrested at its outset, its pains and inconreuiences averted, and the ' nervous structures saved from the depressing ] effects entailed upon them by an illness.
