Thousands Of Miners Idle.

Pittsburg, Aug. 17.-Eighty per cent
of the coal mines along the Monon-
gahela river are idle and thousands or
miners are out of employment as the
result of the low water in the Ohio
river. Practically all coal from this
district is shipped by river, but for
several weeks the water has been so
low no shipment could be made. The
consequence is that every barge is load
ed with coal awaiting shipment and no
more coal can be mined until empty
harges are received to store it in. The
situation is said to be the worst in re
cent years, and unless there is suffi
cient rain to raise the river the en-
forced idleness will cause much suffer
ing among the miners.

adulterated paints have three possible
courses OF action. They may make pure
goods confor ming to the requirements Of
the law, in which case the packages may
be labeled pure. Or they can continue to
sell mixtures that will not comply with the
legal STANDARD by printing in plain lette s
the formula of the compound given the
adulterants and the percentage of each.
The name and residence of the manufac-
turer or person for whom It is manufac
tured must be also plainly printed on each
package Of adulterated goods.
what Are the Carbon Blacklist
The carbon blacks are practically pure
carbon. They comprise lamp black, a spe-
cially prepared SCOT from oil lamps; gas
blacks Commonly known as carbon
blacks''), from natural gas, and graphite,
a natural product, now also produced ar
tifically.
Comeback. ivory black Ia fine bone
black), drop black, vine black. ETC., also
come in this category. These being pro
duced by carbonizing animal and vegetable
substances, contain proportions of inert
mineral salts and are accordingly modified
in tone.
To Make Waterproof Glue.
Waterproof glue is manufactured of gum
shellac three parts and India rubber one
part by weight. these constituents being
dissolved in separate vessels in ether, free
from alcohol. subject to a gentle heat.
When thoroughly dissolved the two solu-
lions are mixed and kept for some time
in a vessel tightly sealed.
This glue resists the action of water,
both hot and cold. as well as most acids
and alkalies. If the glue is thinned by
the admixture of ether and applied as a
varnish to leather along the seams where
this has been sewn together, it renders
the joint or seam watertight and almost
impossible to separate.
Black Paint Breaks Glass.

NEWS FOR and ABOUT THE BUSY HOME BUILDERS
Attractive and Inexpensive Designs

our design this week gives us a good
practical example Of the always popular
gambrel roof treatment and the house
shown as actually built has easy graceful
lines pleasing TO the eye. A house with a
gambrel roof, shingled walls and white
trim is decidedly domestic in appearance.
I might say here. too. that a gambrel roof
should always be stained. using creosote
only. It is best to dip the shingles into
the stain, but a very good effect is OBJ
tanned by merely brushing them with the
stain after the shingles are laid. The
foundation walls to this house are of con-
crete, using concrete poured into forms up
to grade and concrete blocks above grade.
The first story walls are sided. Shingles
can be appropriately used instead Of siding
and would give a pleasing effect. Another
very good substantial effect could be OBJ
tanned by using concrete blocks for first
story. in which case the walls would be
laid thicker and the additional thickness
should be added to the overall dimensions
Of tn ehouse and not taken off the rooms.
In this design we have several very
comfortable rooms. considering its size,
26 feet 8 inches by % feet 6 inches on
the ground. The front porch is nine feet
wide there is an entrance vestibule OF
ample size, to the side Of which is a
cosy corner or alcove with seat. This seat
has a hinged top, making a convenient
place to keep wet weather garments. There
is a large entrance hall 12x14 feet, con-
tanning a combination stair, which ascends
to the second story at the middle of the
house. Through a cased opening to the
left of the entrance is entered the large
parlor. This is connected with the dining
room by sliding doors, which, when open,
leave an opening six feet wide. In the
