AN IRON DWELLING HOUSE.
READING, Pa, EAGLE.

Reading, Pa, Eagle.
George L. Huston Of Parkesburg, Chester
county, Pa, will build private mansion for
himself entirely of iron, the foundation being
of solid rock. The floor Of the hall, vesti-
bule and library will be laid with polished
cast-iron tiles, In which different qualities of
iron will be used TO produce the same varie-
ty OF colos Is In ordinary tile flooring. ALI
the other floors of the house will be of stout
iron plates, firmly bolted to the iron joists.
The outside walls and inside partitions all
through the structure will be composed of
two courses of iron plates firmly bolted to-
gether, SO as to be air-tight. These hollow
iron walls and partitions will be used instead
of chimneys and for conveying heat to the
different parts Of the house and for ventila-
tion.. The hot smoke and gases from the
furnaces passing through the sides Of the
rooms in this way will, it is claimed, be al
most sufficient to keep the house comforta-
BILE In the coolest weather, SO that the heat
required In ordinary houses. All the doors
and window sashes will be iron, but will be
constructed in such light way and so nicely
balanced upon hinges and weights as TO
open and shut as easily as those made of
wood. All the inside walls and partitions
will be handsomely painted and frescoed SO
as to present the appearance of any ordinary
house finished In plaster. Outside the style
Of architecture will be light and graceful,
and 1t will be painted and ornamented SO as
to look as lift were built of wood. The roof
will be Of strong boiler-plate, and on the top
at the conveyance of the four gables-will
be handsome observatory, supported at the
four corners by four Ionicpillars of iron. In
side the ornaments will be made of the same
material. In the parlor will be q mantle of
polished steel, handsomely ornamented.
There will be similar one in the dining
room, upon which will be engraved hunting
scenes. In the library will be massive
mantle, SO constructed that 1t will look as If
1t were made of pig-iron fused together.
Quito curiosity in this room will be cabi-
net for the exhibition Of specimens of iron.
This will be constructed entirely of strongly
magnetized iron, SO that all the specimens
will adhere to the back of it, held in place
solely by magnetic attraction. In order to
guard against the bungling which would
take place in such solid iron structure on
account of the contraction and expansion by
heat and cold, there will be breaks in the
iron at intervals, which will be filled with
rubber, SO that when expansion takes place
there will be room for 1t without any change
in the contour of the framework. As much
as possible Of the furniture will also be of
iron, so that If 1t takes fire in any part moth
ing can burn but the carpets and the few ar
ticles of wood that may be within reach of
the flames.

A Good Place for Mice.
NineteentA Century.


A few years ago, If newspaper reports may
be believed, ship was sent to the colony Of
Tristan d'Acunda with . score Of cats on
board. These animals were present from
Lords of the Admiralty, to whom IL had been
reported that the island was mouse ridden.
When the vessel arrived the Governor Of the
colony begged that the cats might be kept on
board. It was quite true, he explained, that
the island was infested BY mice, but It was
also over-r,m by cats. In Tristan d'Acunda
cats, In consequence Of some strange climatic
influence. always abandoned mousing, fact
which accounted for the abnormal develop
ment Of the mouse population. So that .
gin Of cats to Tristan d'AcunlA was even
less likely to be welcome than present Of

-Four hours later a fight ensued between

being killed. Aid was summoned from
adjoining towns. Authorities ana cltl-

Going to Alaska.

A quiet effort is being made to organ
ize party in Benton to start for the gold
fields in far-of Alaska this spring. The
programme is to make the entire trip on
horseback, as in this way they will be
enabled to traverse great deal Of unex-
plored territory, in some portion it is
possible some rich diggings may be
struck. 1t is estimated that it will take
three or four months to make the trip
through, horseback jaunt that few
would care to take. AS determined up
on at the present writing, the bold bad
company will be officered as follows:
Captain-George Farmer.
First Lieut.-Ed. Flint.
Second Lieut.--Tuck Lambert.
Night Herder-Jeff. Talbert.
Cook-Lee Shackelford.
The date of departure has not yet been
fixed, but we understand the band IS
already engaged to play the boys out OF
