Economics and COnveniences of Concrete

under foot went by several years ago.
Out at Butte, Montana, where the great stamp
ing mills and ore-concentrating works have turned
the mountain city into titanic inferno of tall
chmneys belching black and sulphurous fumes,
stands one tremendous tower, the top of which is
$50 feet above the ground When its erection
was planned, the first idea was to build it of
brick. That would have required a thickness of
twelve or fifteen feet of masonry at its base.
But the matter was greatly simplified by the use
of concrete.
Less spectacular, but far more important and
general, is the use of concrete as a building ma
terlal The industry of making concrete building
olocks has become very large one within the
last five years, and in almost every city and
town can be found residences and business blocks
built OF this material. The growing scarcity and
increasing price of lumber make it certain that
concrete will be more and more generally used
for building purposes Very artistic residences are
built OF concrete building blocks. They are very
comfortable, being cooler in summer and warmer
In winter than buildings constructed of other ma
terials.
The more common type of concrete building
block is what is commonly known as the 'one-
piece system, usually "a or 50 inches long by 8
inches high and 8, 10 or u inches in width ac-
cordng to the thickness that is desired One or
more vertical airspaces, amounting in most cases
to 30 l-3 per cent, provided. This not only
lightens the block, but prevents the moisture
from the outside from striking through as well
as from condensing on the inside, as is often the
case with a solid wall. 1t is customary to plas-
ter these hollow walls directly upon the inside of
the block, and while there has been in few
cases undesirable work due to lean and porous
concrete, in general satisfactory results have been
obtained 1t is possible to make from concrete
an absolutely impervious product by carefully Sc
lecting the aggregate of differentiated grains and
then using enough cement to fill the voids An
other noticeable feature is that concrete becomes

evening he was speeding on train to Che sum
mer resort at which Elizabeth Tempeton was
spending a few weeks
He knew the hotel at which she was stopping
and, as soon as possible the following morning,
he sent up his card only to have it returned
with the statement that Miss Templeton was
not feeling well and could see no one. A sec
ond card, to Miss Templetons aunt. who was
chaperoning her brought the answer that Miss
Golding was occupied With Miss Templeton and
did not care to see Mr. Maynard.

Not single line had she written him and the
man was in despair.
At the bathing hour on the beach. things were
no better Miss Templeton did not go into the
surf, and the long afternoon dragged along with
out comfort
He haunted the piazza that evening again, but
still there was no trace of the girl he loved.
and at last he took himself off to his hotel more
miserable than he ever supposed man could he

solving the problem and, in desperation the mex.

over the register. He knew that the rooms
were numbered according to the floor and he
also knew the date on which Elizabeth Temple
ton had arrived. Hence, it was not difficult
matter to ascertain that she had suite No All
on the fourth floor. He stepped into the eleva
tor and in another moment the unsuspicious ele
vator boy had let him out at the fourth floor
The number he sought seemed to be on the
opposite side of the building and he strolled
through the hall with watchful eve on the
room numbers. Chambermaids swarmed through
the corridors and just as Ralph neared the suite
he was looking for, one buxom damsel dropped
the broom and dustpan with an exclamation
and came toward him with out-stretched hand

more impervous to water with age, as is the ex-
perience not only with concrete blocks, but with
reservoirs, stand-pipes and similar structures.
Another class Of these building blocks is what
is known as the ''two-piece" system, by which an
absolutely hollow wall can be made. In general
these blocks consist of a comparatively thin lon
gtudinal section, with one or more laterally ex-
tending arms which serve for binding the blocks
together; or the wall may be made of two sec
tions of plain veneer blocks bonded by metal
wall-ties. The cost of concrete block building
is considerably less than that of brick construc-
ton, and but little more than that of frame. In
fact in one or two cases, the writer has known
of concrete block buildings being erected at a
lower cost than an ordinary frame construction.
The next class of concrete buildings to be con-
sidered are of the REINFORCED monolithic con-
struction, which is superseding almost en-
tirely mill and steel frame construction for fac
tories and warehouses and also for office build
ings. The principle of reenforced concrete as
applied to buildings and bridges dates back for
more than twenty years. The combination of
steel and concrete because of the adhesion be
tween the two materials, amounting to about 800
pounds per square inch, well their almost
equal expansion, has given building material
far superior to either wood steel.
