Don't Like Slate,

A writer in the Milling World says:
Slate is not IL safe material for mill
roofs. Not long ago I saw IL slate
rooted mill fired by heat from an ad.
Joining burning building. The heat
cracked the slates and they ran of
he roof i'll shower, leaving dry
wood exposed to the flames.
Another building covered with
shingles was equally exposed, and
,ingulnrly enough the roof OF the
slate-covcred mill took fire before the
roof of the shingIe-covered building.
The streams of water turned on the
states after they became hot caused
their rapid destruction, while the
wctted shingles were kept from burn
lug.
The slate allowed streams of water
10 drip downward through the entire
building, while the shingle roof pro-
tccted the building which it covered.
Slate roofs may prevent fires from
floating sparks, and shinglc roofs
when very dry may invite fires from
such sparks, but where buildings are
crowded closely together. almost any
one OF the roofing materials is better
and safer than slate. because in the
ease of crowded buildings the slate is
exposed to heat sufficient to break
it and uncover the wood.

Let the Water Circulate,

Many devices are suggested by
plumbers for guarding against the
danger OF house-traps being emptied
by evaporation or siphonage while
the houses are closed tor the Sum
mer, and thus allowing the escape OF
noxious gases into the dwelling.
Some go as far to say that there is
no safety short of disconnecting the
fixtures and securely closing the ends
Of the pipes. Others recommend
shutting the water off and filling the
c!osetsand traps with oil orglvcerine,
while still others favor an adjust.
ment of valves so that there will
be ii continual dripping of water.
One OF the most sensible suggestions
We have seen is made by tile Ameri.
can Artisan, which is that where a
house is to remain closed for some
time the best plan is to arrange tor
some one togo into the house once AZ
