American Builders Break Records
Twelve Story Building For New York Evening Post Put
Up In Three Months.

parts of the building have to be abso-
lutely freproof. To meet these con-
ditions builders encase the steel in
hollow tile and build the floors and
partitions of the same material, no
time having to be lost in waiting for
the tile bricks to set or harden. The
adoption of the steel and hollow tile
type of construction is one of the rea-
sons why even the biggest sky
scrapers take less than year to put
up.
Hollow tile is found to be much the
safest fireproofing for quick constrne-
ton. 1t sets very much more quickly
than concrete-which must be left
thirty days to be perfectly safe. In
winter it is very difficult to deal with
concrete, whereas hollow tile can be
installed without difficulty in almost
any kind of weather 1t is hollow tile
which has also made it possible to
put up Senator Platt's U. S. Express
company building with such great
rapidity.
Although buildings like these are
run up in a few months, they are not
in any way ierry-built The are up to

showed they could Withstand fire; the
san Francisco disaster showed they

ton. but they represent the highes'

UTILIZATION OF FiRE-kfLLED
TIMBER.
Forest Reserve Furnishes Valuable
Material From Burned Areas.

Material From Burned Areas.
Although it has been known for a
number of years that fire-killed TIM
Der has a considerable value in rail-
road and mining operations in Colo
RADIO, 1t has been brought out on Y
recently by the forest service that 4
wide number of uses are open for this
timber, and that in certain respects
it has actual advantages over green
wood.
These facts are deduced from a
study of conditions on the Pixies Peak
Forest Reserve, where the ravages Of
fire have been particularly wide
spread and destructive. In many IN
stances the burned timber is the only
kind available at a particular point
for example, in proximity to mine
or a spur of railroad, so for timbers
and ties the dead material has been
used for many years-fifteen years at
Palmer lake, seven years at F1orris-
SAINT for railroad ties, and longer than
this for mine timbers,. Three years

skill And yet all the time the dish
in he hay box is jucier, more tender
and much more evenly cooked than
under the old regime of its too hot
If it burns and too cold if the pot
doesn't burn the finger when touch
ed"
The difficulties in the way are those
of prejudice, small knowledge as to
the required time for cooking in the
hay box and the innate desire of all
the world to leave well enough alone.
The system has been used for many
years in Norway and of late years in
Germany. The American consul at
Frankfort reported on the system last
year and that report has been print
ed by the government and is in the
bound reports of the documents at
the public library.
There have been appliances for this
system on the market but the improy-
ised box is easily made and the hay
may be often renewed, insuring clean
illness.
The requisites TO- cooking In this
manner are so few that the doubling
may experiment easily if they ques-
ton the truth of existing conditions
in Germany and Norway. The sys-
tenn is closely allied to the bain-amie
and sauces are keps hot; and also to
the warming oven, where most for
eign cooks finish their roasts after
the first hour and half of cooking
in the case of large pieces of meat
weighing 20 to 80 pounds.
The convenience in the summer
when the heavier dishes may be start
ed in the cool of the morning, and
allowed to finish in the hay box, can
hardly be insisted upon enough. The
box retains all the heat very little
escaping to warm the kitchen. An
other possibility of the box is the
transportation of hot lunches to the
country in the shooting season or on
picnics.
The draw back to the system out
here is the lack of pots with tight
fitting lids. These are necessary.
They need not be any more than
close fitted, so as to prevent ths hay
from being forced in or tho steam
from escaping. This is easily pro-
vided for by a lid that fits over the
top The small granite pals with
covers answer we'll if care be taken
not to disturb the lid.
OF course the lid is not to be re-
moved for an instant after the pot
is removed from the fire, and it is to
be Immediately placed in the box to
prevent the loss of heat
The time for cooking various ar
ticles is much a matter of insulation

roast of Eve pounds should be
cooked in fast oven for 20 minutes
and left in the box three hours. But
always be careful to have the pot or
pan covered tightly before removing
from the fire for it is the retention
of the great heat that is the secret of
the system.
The utility of the gas stove is very
evident. After the few minutes of
rapid cooking the gas may be ex-
tinguished until the time for the pre-
paration of the gravy, coffee and
minor details arrives.

was spoken she half looked round TO
see who was addressed by it. Lady
Norah! She was Norah Frere no
longer, but an earl's daughter. and
sic had come home TO this vast
place with its palatial rooms and army
of servants.
Lonely. No Arab in the center Of
the desert ever felt lo.aelier than did
Norah at that moment, and the de-
sire for one soul upon whom she
could lean, to whom she could pour
out her heart, was so intense that her
heart actually ached with it.
Then the door opened and the gen.
tlemen fled in.
Lord Ferl.dale went up to her at
once thinking, as he spoke to her and
looked down at her, that of all the
beautiful things in the room she was
the most beautiful; and ne noticed,
with admiration, how promptly she
had taken her place at the tea table,
just as If she had been accustomed to
it for years.
I'VE have been away so long that
we scarcely deserve any tea, Lady
Norah, he said, with his kindliest
smile.
Il am afraid it will be rather cold,
she said. 81 have been looking round
for a coy to put on the teapot-we

Norah.

courtliest fashion.
She poured out the tea, and Gull
ford Berton came and stood beside
her and silently took the cups and
handed them around, his dark eyes
downcast and guarded, but once Norah
happened to look up suddenly and
found them fixed on her hands as ii
he were studying them, or found some
thing curious in their white shapeli.
ness.
Lord Ferndale seated himself In a
low chair beside her and glanced at
the others.
Il suppose you are wondering who
we all are, Lady Norah?"
"A little, yes" she admitted.
"rH try and tell you. I'm an old
fogey who lives near you in a place
called The Park. Mr.. Parfleet, or the
squire, as he is always called-well,
suppose he is anothe- old fogey!-he
lives at the Manor; the rector doesn't
need describing, and-there you are!"
"You have forgotten Mr.. Berton,"
said Norah, with smile.
"Ah, yes. beg his pardon, I'm
sure. Well, you know his name-and
there is not much more to tell about
him. except that he is the son Of the
earl's-your father's--late steward
and that he lives in a little cottage
just outside the park-your park,
mean"
Norah cooked across the room
again. Mr.. Guilford Berton was lean
ing against the siano. his hands be-
hind him, his eyes fixed on the
ground; statuesque and silent and as
perfectly self-possessed as If he were
alone in the room.
You are wondering why your
father should make such a friend o:
his stewards SOM" said Lord Fern.

Scarcely wondering"
We'll, If you had wondered great
deal, it would be only natural, and like
the rest of US. It is strange. But Mr..
Berton has made himself extremely
useful to the earl. and-and happens
to suit him. That's the only expIana'
ton, believe"
