RETURN OF CONCRETE AGE
Present Conditions Force Return
TO Ancient Construction
Material.

Centuries ago those enlightened people
whom we now class among the ancients
knew how to build wonderful structures
out of concrete. They made walls and col
umns, they made domes and arches. And
some OF the structures which grew under
their hands have for ages been wonder
and delight to mankind. Then for CEN
turtles concrete practically disappeared from
the worlds construction. Stone, rough or
cut; wood. iron, steel, took it's place, and
for a time, apparently the world almost
forgot about concrete.
But the age OF this made stone is upon
us once more. Again It is to have its day.
Once more great structures will be nodded
into form and will harden as one solid
stone. Evidences of this are to be seen on
all sides. Railroads were among the first
large builders to recognize the value OF
concrete in bridge and culvert work.
Wooden trestles and bridges were long
since rejected for iron and steel and these
latter in many instances for magnificent
erectlons OF cut stone, triumphs of the
mason's art. But the day OF these is
passed No more of them will be built, in
situations where the concrete can be used.
ConcrSte win take the place Of stone. Not
because it is better, perhaps, but because
/ IL Is as good, ana IL Is cheaper ana quicker
to put in place.
In our commoner forms OF building, con-
/ crete is making its impress. 1t is already
/ frequently used for cellar walls in ordinary
house construction, and its use in this dlrec-
/ ton is spreading. Buffalo has long had one
! large apartment house entirely constructed
Of reinforced concrete, and in few months
/ Il will have a mammoth manufacturing
plant-that OF the George n. Pierce Man
ufacturing company, at Elmwood avenue
and the Belt line crossing-also OF con-
crete. A marvel Of construction in point
Of time limit is TO be performed there and
the quckness with which concrete may be
made has much TO do with making that
marvel possible.
The wide use OF concrete is being forced
upon builders In part by natural condi-
tons Timber suitable for many building
operations 10 becoming so scarce that its
prices are almost prohibtIve. And that
perhaps, is the greatest reason why con-
crete will be used more and more in house
and factory construction. II Is also FIRE
proof It's cost is not excessive, and II Is
far cheaper than fine mason work Those
are also reasons for the return Of the con-
crete age.

TURBINES NOT RELOCATED
Manager of Allen Line Says New
Ship t. Chiefly for
Freight.

LIVERPOOL, May ls-(speciai Cable
gram to The Bee surprise
was created in shipping circles by an an
nouncement in a Liverpool paper that the
Allan line had given a contract to a Glas-
cow firm of shipbuilders for the oonstruc-
ton of a new liner in which turbines were
not to be used
1t was assured that this order was a set
back for turbines, but as a matter of fact
that is not the case. Mr.. Beckett Hill, man
ager Of the Allan line, stated that the new
vessel was to be used chiefly for cargo.
1.-The contract has nothing to do with two
mail steamers which we are building in
connection with me Canadian government
contract" he added. 'Those vessels will be
turbines, but with a greater speed than the
Virginian and Victorian.
THE steamer just ordered on the Clyde
will be an intermediate boat to replace the
Bavarian, which was stranded in the St.
Lawrence.
I'VE have found the turbines to be dis
tinct success in the hrst-class passenger
trade This is largely because OF the alb
sence of vibration owing to the steady
pressure on the rotating shafts
IAN idea of this may be gathered when
state that the three propellers Of the Vir-
ginian only weigh seven tons altogether,
while II the power were obtained from a
single propeller It would have TO weigh
twenty-five tons. We also find there is a
saving of coal"

LARGE EXPORT OF APPLES
vast Quantities of the American
variety Required TO satisfy
the English Demand.

Consul Stephens writes from Plymouth
that England is importing on an average
little over 10000 bushels Of apples per
week. They come from the United States
and Canada. Those from oregon bring the
highest prices. The best qualities bring
s3.e5 a box; ordinary samples, $780, These
are good prices, considering that a box
contains only bushel. The California
apples are selling at S2.45 a box for best
and 81. IS for ordinary grade.
The United States fruit is put UP in barrels
Of about 40 pounds. The best range In
value from $3.50 to s6.7s barrel, ordinary
from $A35 to As6 Nova Scotian apples sell
from s6Os to $6.7s a barrel. Ordinary Can
adan apples from various sources bring
from $40 to s.. a barrel In these lines
the wagners are the cheapest and the
russets the dearest. Some of the latter
sell for 1918 a barrel.
Consul Woman Of Three Rivers. Quebec,
writes, on the strength of the report Of the
Canadian agent at Melbourne. that the
rapid development OF the orchards In Aus
tralasia, especially those In Tasmania, has
brought to the English fruit markets a
strong competitor to American and Can
adian apples II was assumed by the Eng
lish trade that some zoo, 900 cases would be
exported from Hobart during March and
April but cold weather and very heavy
rains have turned a promising into fall
ing crop, so that not half a crop will be
harvested. The Canadian agent at Mel
bourne reports that the export will not
exceed $4,000 to 100000 cases as maximum.
The exports Of apples from the states Of
Victoria and South Australia have never
yet assumed anything like the formidable
proportions of Tasmania. The same
weather conditions have prevailed through
out these states and the fruit crop is at
least "a month late. 1T is now almost a
certainty" writes the agent, that the linn
tied production Of apples this season from
Australia will not have the slightest influ-
ence in the lowering of prices in England"
and then adds that late Nova scotian and
other Canadian apples should obtain some
what higher prices in England during April
and May next, owing to the curtailment OF
shipments usually placed upon the British
market at that season of the year. When
il is generally known in London that the
imports from Tasmania will be about 80 per
cent less than usual the immediate effect
will be to harden prices."

Scotch plaids in the bright tartans prom
