Wiggins-And it does you credit. If

OF my native land, and feel that there
is nothing too disagreeable, too severe
or too costly that would not do for
the land love.

kindred spirit such as you. Indeed it
does. By the way, did you have to pay
full duties ON those diamonds you i'm.
ported last week?

INTO description of a new building
Ihey were not In use In England before
the twelfth century. In early times, you
know, people allowed tho smoke To escape
through ventilators, as we would call
them, In the roofs, just as Indians allow
smoke to escape through holes at the tops
OF tents. According to the custom then,
the braziers were placed In the center of
the hall so that the smoke and fumes could
rise. In some OF the chambers Of castles
that were built may be seen fireplaces, but
no ohimneys. The fireplaces have semicir-
cuiar backs and semicircular arches over
the openings. Where they project little
distance from the wall the hues run up
the walls few feet and then outward.
Inc outer openings are small oblong holes
~ must have been queer sight to SEQ
smoke coming out Of the side OF a castle
al the time How they managed to create
urait Is more than l know. Iwonder
whether the jewellers In fats would growl
more II we made flreplaces that way.
The rooms must have been smoky,
because In the next century the people
tried to get rid OF the smoke by extending
the fourteenth century the chimneys were
usually very short Later they were circu-
lar and OF great height. Perhaps when
some OF the tops were blown off the people
discovered that the draft was sufficient
with them lower. In the course OF time
builders changed the forms of chimneys
ana gave them some Recommendation. The
short chimneys were terminated frequent
~ by low pinnacles with outlets for the
escape OF smoke. Tall chimneys were
square, octagonal or circular and were
surmounted by cornices, forming capitals,

the close OF the fifteenth century clustered
chimney shafts appeared it Is said. Later
they were more common and were fire.
quently highly ornamented.
BY using terra Gotta In connection with
brick nowadays IL is possible for an archi-
tect To get rid OF some Of the ugliness Of a
Chimney and make II part of the orna.
mentation of IA roof. The time may come
when houses can be heated cheaply by the |
use OF electricity. Then we can go back |
to the old style OF not having chiinneys
except at the stations where the current

the poor devil was broken into four differ
