Electrifying Canals.

From the London Mail.
Belgium, now rapidly becoming an i'm
portant factor in the industrial world, is
carrying on some important experiments in
the towage of goods on canals by electrici-
ty. In view of the probable coming electri-
fication of English canals, the results are
Of interest. The company originating the
work operates canal between Brussels
and Chartered, covering fifty miles. Triple
wires are carried on poles above the tow
Ing path, tractors runnings along the paths
taking their current from them Where,
owing to the canals passing through cities
or similar reasons. no towing path is avail
able, electric launches are used
The speed obtained is about double that
OF horse ira ction. and the cost of haulage
to barge owners is nearly per cent lower.
But various regulations hamper the COM
pany and prevent it from working as eco
nomically as 1t otherwise would. Thus
tractors are not allowed to draw more than
one barge at a time, though the advantage
of taking a string of barges at once is OBJ
vious. The towpaths, which are owned by
the government, are in a bad condition, and
improvements are difficult to obtain. That
such results can be obtained under these
conditions Is best proof Of what might be
done by an Independent concern owning the
canal line itself and establishing q straight
service.

Demand for Rentable Houses.

Ihls construction is naturally the build
ing of greatest interest in the field of Wash
ington real estate. Indeed, local agents
seem to have disregarded building for
renting. Several individual firms report
good sale business, but the greater number
say they have all they can do to meet the
demand for good renting houses. 1t is very
possible the renting trade this fall will ex-
ceed that of any previous year
Public interest centers on the White

ERRATIC STREET NUMBERING.
Pleasure of Calling at Place Where
1O2 is Opposite 81.
From the London Graphic

From the London Graphic
The soul of the writer of history and
that Of the antiquarian has frequently beer
vexed by the idiotic practice of renumber-
ing old streets. Often by this custom the
dwelling places of celebrities are uttely lost
sight Of, though the actual houses may re-
main.
1t would, perhaps, be better If the au-
thorities, instead of interfering with the
old streets, were to give a little attention
to numbering the houses in the more newly
built thoroughfares. 1 do not know who
first introduced the system of the odd
numbers on one side Of the street and the
even on the other, but it is a most absurd
plan and leads to no end of annoyance and
confusion
There are. however, eccentric versions of
this new Improvement that are consider
a call, and found the street numbered on
the principle above described. l was in

policeman was in sight.
At last I espied blithe and amiable
huffman, merrily ringing a crumpet Grill
lon as he strobe briskly along, and 1 asked
him If he could direct me to No. So He
shook his head doubtfully, and opined that
the numbers in this street were a bit
mixed"
However, he was very polite We walked
along and chatted, he ringing his bell mer-
rily the while. Every now and then would
he pause and dart suddenly up the steps,
gaze at numeral on the door, return quick
ly, shaking his head.
AT last, when 1 had exhausted such top

Whether the effect will be agreeable to the
vast number OF Americans who thought the
old decoration very fine, must depend large
ly on the mural decorations, now not even
suggested. But the spaciousness which has
taken the place of the old tumble and the
simplicity of design which marks all the
construction, may be taken as very good
signs.
The building between the White House
and the State, War and Navy building is
now in such condition that a very good idea
Of the whole may be obtained. Its exterior
has already been given one coat of white
paint. Hidden in a hollow, as it is today,
1t is not such affront on the landscape
as was expected. But few Washingtonians
will ever regard it as well placed, even
when balanced by a new driveway at the
other end of the White House.
The structure itself Is rather better de-
one-story building put up for temporary
use on vacant building lots-than any one
of half a dozen to be seen on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, for example. There are strong
walls well plastered, signs of good wood
work. plenty of space, an open attic with
iron lattices, done in an adapted Greek de-
sign, and sufficient number of rooms to
relieve the White House effectively In
design it may not be offensive but the
being either handsome appropriate to
it's surroundings 1t is manifestly not fire
proof
Only the foundations and some brickwork
indicate the form of the east arcade and

Saving in Building Cost.

From the New York Post
A house Of artificial stone blocks, two-
thirds of which is material and the rest
hollow, Will soon be built in New Orleans.
The mold in which the blocks are built is
simple contrivance. 1t consists of founda-
tion provided with three rectangular COL
umns that may be elevated, whose dimen-
sions are those OF the cavities in the blocks:
TO the foundation OF the mold are hinged it's
ends and sides. which let down. When the
ends and sides of the mold are in position
II Is merely box; plate Is let down upon
the bottom of the mold; then the columns
at the bottom Of the mold are elevated
through openings in the plate. The mold Is
then in readiness to receive the mixture OF
sand and Portland cement which is shoveled
into the mold, filing the entire space sur
rounding the elevated columns. 1t is tamped
with great force.
After the tamping process the sides and
Evening star., 1902-09-13

ends Of the mold are depressed and the
plate on which the materials were poured is
lifted out, with the manufactured block
resting upon it. The blocks are put in the
air and in the course Of a week they are
ready to be used for building. They should
not be subjected to too great heat from the
sun, and 1t is necessary to moisten them
each day. The great simplicity Of the
process lies In the fact that sand Ia abso-
lutely incompressible, and tamping secures
as complete results as are obtained from
the pressing Of clay in the making of finer
qualities of bricks and with very much
smaller expenditure Of labor. The sand and
cement are moistened while being mixed.
