REGARDING CELLAR DOORS
From the Old-Time Door of Wood to
the Newest of Galvanized
Steel.

Time was when cellar doors were all
made of wood with iron strap hinges,
each complete door consisting of a pair
of wooden flap doors closing in the mid
die. to be thrown back on either side
when the door was opened. A weather
strip was nailed along the edge of one
of these flaps.
Outside the houses, and in fact in
many other places, says the New York
Sun, such cellar doors were often set at
an incline from the building, SO that
they would the better shed water; and
these were the traditional cellar doors
down which children loved to slide, as
they still do, for that matter, wherever
such cellar doors are found.
Cellar doors, either fiat or inclined,
are still to be found in countless mum.
bers everywhere, and In cities as well
rs in the country. Plenty may yet be
seen, for instance, In New York. But
along much Travelled business thorough.
fares in cities wooden cellar doors were
soon worn away and broken under the
incessant scraping and trampling oil
many thousands Of feet, and so In such
situations wooden cellar doors were
long & largely supplanted by cellar
doors of iron, these not inclined but set
level with the sidewalk, 30 that they
would form no impeachment to travel.
The newest city cellar door, de
signed for use in crowded streets, one
introduced within recent years, Is
built OF steel, and galvanized, and
hung on heavy brass hinges. OF rigid
construction in its " parts, and
shutting into Il rigid frame. this cellar
door when closed Is as firm a support
to the feet as the surrounding side
walk in which it is set. while the gal
vaniZing of the door and the hanging
of its parts on brass hinges preserve
the door from rust and help to make
it practically indestructible.

which they are cut to the lengths re-
quired. The method of using them is as
follows: First try the block in the
angle in which it is to be glued, and ii
it fits snugly brush glue on two OF its
sides, then lay it in place, and while
pressing it firmly, rub it vigorously back
and forward %lengthwise SO as to rub
out all superfluous glue, and to bring
