Only the end Of the barrack was photo
graphed, including the projecting track

the frame and manner of erection. See
Fig. 2.
The posts are all white oak, about ten
inches in diameter at the base and from
eighteen to twenty-eight feet long,
Those outside are sixteen feet high to
the caves and the ridge is twenty-four
feet from the ground. The barrack is
sixteen feet wide. 1t can be made of

stakes at each of the four outside corners,

Temporary braces were tackled across

pulleys. Additional braces were nailed
across after the posts had been brought
into line and made plumb, and now the
hardest Job was at hand. Upon climb
ing to the top of the frame we found that
not one of the ten outside posts was half

side of the posts, the upper edges being
about nine inches below the tops. The
rafters (E E. were allowed to rest on the
plates and were also spiked to the posts.
Each pair of rafters was set up with the
ridge spread two inches apart to receive
the ridge board. In order to do this
cleats were tackled on each pair before
they were raised into position. After the
rafters had been spiked on the posts they
were braced into position and ribs nailed
in between them to stiffen them and also
to support the roof boards. The ridge
board was next placed in position and ex-
tended to the pole at the right of the pic
ture. The cleats were then knocked
off and the rafters spiked to the ridge

criticism can be made upon the plan Of the

In the second story are two good sized
rooms and a small room, which may either
be used as a small bedroom or bathroom
In the attic are two good rooms and a
small storeroom for trunk, etc. These
rooms, it is true, have low ceilings and
take in portion of the sloping roof, but
are comfortable both in summer and win

walls of the second story are shingled. The
shingles may be left the natural color of

The finish of the exterior is of white pine

lighter than the trimmings and blinds.
All the floors are of yellow pine, the new

Europe or America 1t is very remarkable
that the forms of these flint implements
are practically the same in whatever part
of the world they may be found. The pre-
historic man of Cochin China worked the
Jumps of flint into the same forms, and
probably by the same process, as did the
men who settled in northwestern Europe
after the melting of the glaciers, or those
mysterious progenitors or predecessors OF
the American Indians, whose remains are
go abundant in this country.
4 still more curious fact is that all over
the world the same origin is attributed to
these stones by the people of the present
day The name of thunder stones is uni
versally applied to them by the savage
races of the East Indies, the South Sea is
lands, Africa and South America, as well
as by the more civilized people Of China
and India, and the ignorant peasantry Of
Europe. In Italy alone n curious eXcep-
ton occurs in some localities where the
long, fat implements are known by the re-
markable name of "the tongues Of St.
Paul" All recollection of the people who
made them, or the uses for which they
were designed, seems to have been lost;
and this would either indicate their great
antiquity or that they were fashioned by
another and different race before the i'm
migration of the present inhabitants of the
countries where they occur.

from the ridge board by double hanger

In filing with hay, each section be-

saves much hard work. The track and

desired. After filing it up well under the
