GENTLEMEN-We take great pleasure in
recommending your Parattine Roofing not
only for its superior water proof qualities,
but as a rod that is light, requiring in
large buildings no heavy truss system, as
is the case with shingie or metal roofs, and
ass roof that can be laid with the least
possible pitch
On our factory at Alameda Point which
is 10 fit. wide we gave it pitch of one
inch to the DOT, which is all chat is re-
quired.
There is onour roofs over 4 900 square

the heavy rams last winter and the snow
storm, not crop of water has entered the

and have had to lose sales be-
cause they were delyaed in
reaching us. We're all right
nova warehouse full of them
and every size you ask for.
These ranges merit more
than a passing notice, and we
are going to tell. you some
thing about them you never
knew before. Housewives
don't like to get new stoves
because there's a something
about them that's unpleasant.
| A sort of dread that the dam
pers won't work, or the stove
will not draw, crops out and
the good wife prefers to suffer
"the ills that are rather than
fly to those they know not of.
The term :" range" suggests
bricks and mortar, and a
weeks fuss and dirt in placing
in position. Not SO with the
Fischer-there's no bricking
up to do. All there is to it is
to place it where you want and
connect the pipe. Your range
is ready to receive the meats
and in less than the time it
usually takes to cook things,
your food is on the table, more
palatable than it has ever been
before.
You wonder why the Fischer
range should be better than
any other stove! Well tell
you. In this country the mat
ter of fuel is a very large
item of expense. AS you
have turned over a new leaf
and intend economizing where
you never thought of before,
you may begin on your coal
! and wood. 1t is a positive fact
that the Fischer range uses
only about one-half the guam
tity of fuel any other stove
does. That's one point.
Every one who uses the or
binary stoves knows that once
,, in so often the fire bricks burn
out or break. The fire bricks
in the Fischer range are made
of steel, and you couldn't break
them if you'd let the wheels Of
a loaded dray run over them
That's another good point.
The ovens, as with every
other part, are constructed o.
! wrought steel, and it is ar
t acknowledged fact that this
, material will absorb the heat
quicker, more evenly, more in
tensely and retain it much
: longer than one made of cast
e, iron. The heat is more moist
consequently the food, when
prepared, is not so dry and
void of nutrition, besides be.
ing more palatable. Two OF
; three good points in one.
The walls of the Fischer
range are double with asbestos
between the two sheets OF
5 steel, thus making them more
durable, and prevents the rad
iation of too much heat into
the kitchen, as does the cast
stove or range. 1t also pro-
: tects the lining from being
: torn out when cleaning the
fues. The joints of the oven
are riveted closely, thus, Hpre-
venting ashes, dust, SCOT or
coal gas coming in contact
with the food and making it
worthless. Now then These
are a few Of the good points
in the Fischer Wrought Steel
Range. Do you want one ?
They burn wood or coal,
and each has the hot water
pipes in position ready to at
tach to the boiler. The larger
t ranges have the broilers at
, tached and the smaller ones
have everything ready if you
} wish to add the broiler. If YOU
simply want to broil a steak or
a fish, just light charcoal fire

The Mysterious Lake.

The mystery surrounding the sudden
rise of the lake in the Colorado desert
has finally been settled by the discovery
that the water comes from the Colorado
river. An immense body of water is
flowing into the lake, and gentleman
who has just returned from the scene
says that if the channel is cut a little
deeper the water from the Gulf of Cali
fornia will find an entry into the desert.
He reports four other breaks from the
Colorado, and it is now believed that the
filling in of the lake is not only perman-
ent but that it may become an arm of
the Gulf of California.

A Hayrack That Is New Departure.
But No Experiment on Paper.

A Hayrack That Is New Departure
But No Experiment on Paper.
The hayrack shown here is a new de-
parture in its line, but is no experiment
on paper. l began using it in Kansas in
1878, when had lots of heavy work for
it. Some thought it would break down
back of the front wheels, but it has
stood severe tests and long service
without any apparent weakening. One
advantage is that it places the load
down low. thus making it easier to load
and less liable to upset Again, the
chances for cramping and straining,
and possibly breaking the front wheels
of the wagon, are done away with, as
the wheels can turn under the load
without touching the timbers, neither
can they tilt the rack up edgewise. It
also allows short turning, almost as
short as the naked running gear. and
for this reason saves the team much
travel and many hard pull.
The rack is well explained by the
two cuts. Cut No. / shows the plain
frame without the boards. A. A. are
the two main bed imbers, ? by inches
square and of the desired length and
distance apart. B. Il. are two shorter

bed tim bers, by inches, while
G. c. c. c. are cross tim bers, by
inches. as long as the rack is wide.
These are firmly bolted together by
1-16 or 15-inch bolts. d. d. D. D. Is a
square of by 4-inch tin, bers just large
enough to fill between the bolster
standards, and inch to spare to notch
Is inch on each side for standard. The
front cross piece must be on top of the
side mbers, but the back one may be
on top or underneath the long timbers,
better on top.
Cut No. shows the rack entire. By
referring to cut No. l it will be
seen that the hind wheels will run
under E. E. Boards are run from the
cross piece in front of the hind wheels
to the cross back of the cut under.
Now cut piece of 2x4 inch joist long
enough to reach from the end of the
side timber to the outside of the rack,
G. c., and set up on edge on the board
ing F. Also cut two blocks 4 by 4
inches for the front corners of the
square d. and on top of them lay the
front cross timber of oak, by inches
laid fiat ways. Bolt the whole secure
ly together. Now place on this cross
piece boards reaching to e. q. and also

bolt Do not nail anything in building
this rack. For the cover to the hind
VIII cells any boards will do, but elms is
the best. Soak in water for "A or As
hours and bind over the wheels, boiling
to the cross timbers both in front and
back of the wheels. A board as long
as the rack and wide enough to fill be-
tween the long timbers should also be
bolted underneath the cross tilnberS,
which should be placed near enough
together so the wheel cannot hit them
when cramped under on a short turn.
This makes the rack complete, but if
desired a ladder may be added, as
shown in cut No. ?. 1t should be bOlted
6 inches back of the front cross piece
so it may lean forward when standing.
When turned back it makes good seat
for the driver, as it rests across the
back side of tn. front square.--L. ii.

General Equality of Human Beings Utterly

Were a single family to be east upon
the shore of fertile but uninhabited
island. the struggle between man and
nature would begin at once. They
might live to the full limit of human
life without once having the problems
of civil and social inequalities thrust
upon them. Such terms as civil gov
ernment," rights of property" laws
of inheritance, private property,
capital and labor" higher and lower
classes" and the IDEAS for which they
stand might never be known to them.
But as the population increased, re-
strictions on the use of property, and
government in some form, would be re-
quired. After Il few generations,
among the multitude varying degrees
of ability. physical and mental, would
be found. Social differences would
arise and be perpetuated by dissimilar
environments
That which would inevitably occur
on such an island manifests itself in all
parts of the world. Customs and laws
differ but wherever society exists sev
eral general distinctions appear. The
