Fireproof Home
On the Palisades
HOUSE THAT WOULDN'T BURN IF
A FIRE WE'RE LIGHTED BE.
MEATH 1T.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Almost on
the very edge of the Palisades, over
looking the Hudson river, Mr.. John
c. Eames, vice president of well
known wholesale mercantile corpora
ton, the Fl. B. ClaHin Company, has
built a residence that is unique. The
material used is all terra Gotta hollow
tile, and 1t would not barn even II an
incendiary lit a fire beneath 1t.
The Palisades, stretching along the
New Jersey shore of the river have
been famous ever since Hendrix Hud'
son guided his little craft up the stream
nearly three Centuries ago. They rise
from the bank sheer precipice OF
granite rock. From the. top Of this
shelf is one Of the most glorious views
to be seen in many miles OF New
York.
On the river side OF Mr.. Eamess
house is a breakfast porch. Looking
either north or south one sees the
summer dotted with sailing vessels
and launches, In the winter choked
with huge blocks of ice. To the east
is the main land of New York State
and to the southeast is the city OF
New York, with It's noises too far
away to be heard.
This home is not a summer cottage
it is an all-the.year'round dwelling
The air spaces in the hollow terra
Gotta blocks make the wall non'duc-
tive of both heat and cold, so that the
house will he cool in summer and warm
in winter. The terra Gotta is covered
with stucco.
With the price of lumber high and
still rising, it costs only 10 cent. more
to build terra Gotta home than d
wooden one.
In maintenance and insurance great
saving is accomplished by the fire.
proof construction. Hardly any re-
pairs are needed when terra Gotta
house is once finished, while the deter.
ioration OF a wooden house amounts
to at least per cent. annually. Fire
proof qualities reduce the insurance
premiums substantially.
Houses like Mr.. Eames's are com
paratively rare, especially in the east,
but architects are beginning to take in
terest in the new mtehod. 1t is
thought that henceforth fireproof
dwellings will he put up in much
greater number.

A VERY GOOD anti-cigarette bill has
been introduced in the Legislature by
Senator Kinnane. 1t is designed espe-
cially to put down cigarette smoking
among young boys, and has been
framed with view of obtaining law
that can and will be enforced. The basis
of this Kinnane bill is the Minnesota
act that is in successful operation, and
has been in force since 1897.
The Michigan bill will make it more
certain that cigarette smoking by young
boys will be stopped, because, as has
been pointed out, at the present time
the police may see young boys destroy
ing constitution and intellect by the use
of the deadly cigarette, and they feel
themselves helpless to interfere, but if
Senator Kinnanes bill is passed they
will be obliged on the complaint of any
citizen to arrest these boys and bring
them up for trial. In that way the
principal criminal, the man who sold
the stuff, will be got at.
There can be no opposition to the
bill on the ground of oppressive sump-
tuary legislation, for the reason that
the adult is not included and the rights
of parents to allow their children to
smoke in their own homes if they see
fit is not interfered with, but no other
person can give the use of his premises
to juvenile smokers.
All persons who are interested in OBJ
tanning sensible law that will stop
the sale of cigarets to children, ruin
ing their health and creating in many
cases degenerates and young criminals,
should bestir themselves to the extent
of writing to their legislative represen-
tatives and insisting that the Kinnane
bill shall become law at this session.
