PAPERINd DAMP WALLS.
Solution Offered to One Of House
holders Difficulties.

From Architects and Builders Journal.
There are many so-called damp pre-
venters on the market for application be-
fore papering: for instance, cement or as
phalt preparations, cork tiles. gypsum. or
other insulating materials. which may or
may not answer the purpose, besides be-
ing rather expensive. Most OF them are
unsuitable. because they prevent ventila-
ton OF the walls, in which the damp re-
mains, appearing shortly through the in
termediate layers and the wall paper, or
rising up into other parts Of the house.
An excellent and comparatively inexpen-
sive way out Of this difficulty is the fol-
lowing: Paint corrugated cardboard, such
as Is sold for packing bottles. ETC.. on
both sides with asphalt varnish. and fix It
when dried with ss-inch tin tacks to the
damp wall. SO that the smooth surface is
directed toward the room and the CORFU
cations run from ceiling to floor. against
the wall. At the floor level u inch should
be left uncovered. The cardboard should
then be covered with coarse hessians or
other packing material. on which plain
covering paper. and lastly the wall hang
ings. may be pasted. The skirting board
should be removed while lacking on the
cardboard. which should have small holes
Of an inch in length made in the raised
corrugations at intervals Of 10 to IL inche s
before 1t is attached to the wall.

MANKATo's GOOD ROAD.
Minnesota City Has Made a Mudless
and Dustless Pavement.

and DustleSs Pavement.
From the Cement Age.
Mankato. Mimi. has solved the problem
Of finding a durable pavement at small
expense and one that can be used on
steep grades as readily as on a level sur
face.
First, the driveway was narrowed to
thirty feet curbed. suttered and boule-
varded. Then 1t WAS excavated to the
depth Of six inches and surfaced. Five
inches Of dry crushed limestone one and
a half to two inches In diameter was
put ON and rolled down with a ten-ton
roller. Boiling tar from the local gas
works was applied until the entire sur
face was covered. Then 4 layer of
quarter in diameter. mixed with coarse
gravel. was applied on the surface in the
proportion Of three parts of stone to one
of gravel. This was first mixed dry on
a platform and then thoroughly mixed
with hot tar and applied on the surface
two inches thick and tamped into place
to conform with the surface Of the street
Dry domestic cement was then applied
to the surface and the street was again
rolled. Then a coating Of sand was APP
piled and the roller again used. The
pavement was allowed to stand for two
weeks before the street was thrown open
to travel.
The cost was so cents a lineal foot to
the property owners on each side of the
street, or rather would have been had
the entire cost been assessed against
them. The street has practically wa
terproof pavement six inches thick. and
1t is impossible for the elements to attack
the surface. The pavement has now
stood two winters and shows not the
slightest wear. 1t gives on no dust in
summer, although Il il not sprinkled.

NATURE AS A FAKIE.
Sometimes Deceives Even the Eye
Of Scientists.
From the Saturday Evening Post.

from tue SATURDAY Evening Post.
On the so-called Table Mounds of Iowa
are numerous Impressions Of what look
exactly like cloven feet It is not sur
prislng that superstitious people should
attribute them to the devil. taking his
walks abroad-though. as a matter of
fact, they are not footprints Of any kind
whatsoever. but merely weather worn i'm
pressions left by a species of mollusk- like
animal known to science as pentamerus.
To the Smithsonian Institution not long
ago somebody sent from the Bad Lands
of Nebraska what purported to be a fossil
ham. 1t did in very truth look like q
ham. and. to render the verisimilitude
out at one end Of 1t. Nevertheless. an in
vestigation showed that the alleged bone
was in reality a ''vaculite"-an extinct
molusk's shell. rodlike in form-and the
rest Of the ham" was a mere accidental
agglomeration of stony stun.
One day quite recently a young man
walked into the National Museum at
Washington and presented to the anthro-
pologist in charge petri1ed foot. 1t was
received with many thanks. though recog-
ment of rock which had accidentally as
sumed a shape resembling a foot.
Such chance limitations as these fire.
quently occur in nature. Another one.
deposited IN the same institution, was
supposed by the finder to be a petrified
oyster. 1t looks as If on the half shell:
all its parts are wonderfully distinct. and
there is even small pearl in 1t SEEM
ingly. Yet 1t is not an oyster at all.
Many years ago the Cocoon" was in
troduced fossil to a wondering world
by Sir William Dawson, an eminent geolo-
gist. 1t was accepted by science for quite
a while as the earliest and oldest of known
animais-the dawn ANIMAL as its name
signifies. Recent scientific investigation
however. has proved that 1t Is not. and
never was. an animal at all. 1t Is merely
a curious crystalline combination Of two
minerals which has the look of something
that once upon a time was alive.
1t has recently been proved that many
markings on sedimentary rocks long sup
posed to be fossil prints of alsae and
other plants. are. in reality. tracks left
by insects, mollusks and worms. Some
Of these alleged plants" had actually re-
ceived names and been classified into
genera and species.
But 1t has been sufficiently shown that
markings exactly similar can be produced
by allowing such animals as those above
mentioned to creep across surface OF
moist plaster or wet clay, counterfeiting
rock in a plastic and not-yet-hardened
condition, and one well known vegetable.
frequently noted as fossil, has in this
way been satisfactorily identified with ne
trail Of the larva of the dragon fly.

From the Boston Glote.

Scientific forestry a few years ago was
looked upon by the average farmer as a
fad: already it is recognized as q neces-
sity. Not only must intelligent methods
be used to insure the country a supply
Of lumber. but the public now sees that
the preservation OF forests is essential to
the conservation Of water supply. Massa-
chusetts has made a beginning by the
act of last year. under which the state
may buy waste land. establish forests on
1t and sell 1t to the original owner at
cost and interest.
Until very recently the study Of for
estry was confined to the care of large
areas. But there has come a demand
for the study of smaller tracts of wood
land. Every farmer has his wood lot
from which he draws a supply of fuel
that may or may not be enough for his
household needs without coal. Any sale
Of tho more valuable sorts Of wood that
he may make is incidental, the result of
chance seeding Of maple. white oak,
elm or hickory. Now. q white oak or a
hickory is no harder to raise than a red
oak or ga chestnut. The farmer who
looks ahead is asking for information
that will tell him how best to develop
the neglected wood lot. which in the next
generation. IL not in his own time. Will
prove a source OF revenue not TO be
despised.
