PAPER FABRIC FOR BUILDING. The

es-the term paper being meant broadly
a flexible sheet made of vegetable or
other fiber, which has been reduced to q
pulp, and then pressed ont and spread
and dried-is now advocated by some
builders on the following grounds
First, continuity of sGrface-that is, it
can be made IN rolls of almost any
width and length, is flexible, or by glu,
ing several layers together may be made
stiff, and Will stop the passages of air be-
cause there are no joints; second, it has
no grain like wood, and therefore will
not split; third, it is not affected by
change of temperature, and thus has an
advantage over sheet metal as roofing
material; fourth, whereas in its natural
condition it is affected by moisture,
it may be rendered waterproof by satu-
rating with asphalt, or by variety Of
other methods; fifth, it is non-resonant
and well fitted to prevent the passage of
sound; sixth, it is non. conductor Of heat,
and can also be made of iucombustibIe
material, like asbestos, or rendered fire
resisting by chemical treatment. New

STEEL DIRECT FROM THE ORE-The
Russian iron masters are reported to
have invented method of producing
iron and steel direct from the ore. The
whole secret of the process is the con-
struction OF the furnace, which is simple
aud inexpensive. Iron ore, after being
submitted to smelling process, is taken
direct to the rolling mill and turned into
sheet iron Three furnaces in that
country are now in operation. It seems
certain that perfect revolution is TO be
wrought in the manufacture of iron.
Charcoal fuel is used in these furnaces;

FUNERAL CUSTOMS IN TURKEY.-When
q Turk dies, the relatives are forbidden
to weep, but rather rejoice that saint
has reached Paradise; SO tears are quick
ly suppressed, no matter how hearts
may ache. As soon as breath has Quilted
body, the professional dresser of the
dead Is sent for, and most thorough
system OF cleansing carried out. The
body is then wrapped in a winding sheet,
outside of which the clothes of the per
son are placed. Then a very fraiI wicker
or thin board coffin Is brought, and into
this the body is laid, and sometimes
even before it is fairly cold il is carried
to the cemetery and buried. The graves
are very shallow, not over two feet deep.
A coin Is put into the mouth Of the dead
person to pay his passage across the
''river of DEATH" The reason of the
fail collins and the shallow grave is that
re body may decay more quickly, as it
is thought that the soul will wander
around and not be able to enter the
abode Of the blest as long as any flesh re
| mains on the bones.
| Men are only supposed to inherit Para
disc, the women having an inferior order

| will go to Shaitau Cor Satanl aud those
who have been good will go to pleasant

for It's own recompense. The funeral
| procession generally consists OF priest
and few male relatives and slaves, who
go on regular jog tfot with the corpse
| on their shoulders so to hasten the re-
lease Of the soul from It's agony OF union
with dead carcass. They believe that the
