The cool, cloudy weather has not pros

in Rhode Island as in the more northern
districts. Corn has grown slowly, but
did not fail to come fairly well, and is
now pushing ahead. Potatoes are look

hay crop will not be large, and in some
places is reported light. Straw berries ara
ripeniug, but the crop will probably be
smaller than last wear.

New Building AaieriaI.

A new building material called

Northwestern La nbermtn It Is
made of one-eighth-incA strips OF
wood from three-qusEters to ons anl
a quarter inches vide, placed be-
tween two sheets OF heavy s~trawooarI
and united under heavy pressure with
q strong cement. The process Of
manufsctur. is peculiar. Into the
machine that molds the board are run
two sheets Of the strawboarj from
rolls, one from above and one from
below q table onto which are fed from
q feeding device the strips of wood.
A roller running in q tank Of the
liquid cement rolls upon the inner
surface of the sheets of strawDosrt,

together between rolls AMI into a hy'

sawed to the desired length. It ID
then run upon trucks, placed in the

trimmed to forty-sight inches in

pared with Its weight is marvellous.
The ends of an eighteen foo: can be
brought together without breaking or

Wall paper is put upon the beard
and the finish is as fine IS upon any

claimed for the board: It is not more
expensive than tirst-class plasterin3.
It forms an absolutely alright wall.
1t stiffens a building much moro than
any coat of mortar can. It is quickly
put on andproduces n 10 dampness, thus
causing no swelling and shrinking OF
floors and castings. It is light, thus
avoiding the dragging down of the
house frame, the consequent cracking
of walls and the varying OF the door
frames. 1t forms a solder, cleaner,
drier wall at no more expense tnan Is
