BOATS OF CONCRETE

A striking illustration of the appli-
cability of concrete is to be found in
the concrete boats and barges that
have been built by a shipbuilding
firm on the banks Of the Tlber, at
Rome, says Cement Age, New York.
The method of construction is simple
ard the boats are quickly made at less
cost than the ordinary kind. They
viii, stand very rough usage. are
practically indestructible so far as
the element of time is concerned and,
of course, are fireproof. 1t is also said
that the smooth surface of the cement
finish offers less resistance than wood
and that the bottoms do not foul
easily or collect seaweed. Conse-
Quently they are easy TO clean. In
case of damage TO any portion of the
boat repairs are quickly and cheaply
made with cement or concrete. A
comparison of cost with steel barges
has shown that the concrete boat can
be constructed at half the cost OF
steel and that in the matter of main
tenance the cost is about a fourth or
third less. The "Liguria," a 150- ton
col crete barge, was constructed by
Messrs. Gabellini, the firm referred to,
in 1905. Since January, 1906, she has
been working in the harbor of Civita
Vecchia, near Rome. In October. 1905,
She was toWed from Rome down the
Tiber to the sea. She was also towed
to Genoa and Savona, after which she
was towed back again to Genoa and
Ciyita Vecchia.
A 100-ton concrete barge was con-
structed to the order Of the Italian
Government in 1906. She was tested
i'm the military harhpr of Spezia, and
was so successful that contract was
placed for four more barges on the
same lines. These particular barges
have a double sheet forming water
tight compartments, and are practi-
cally unsuitable. Their dimensionsN
are 81 feet length and 16 feet beam.

ATLANTIC CITY
IS ALL UPSET
4 colored Clergyman has Bought a
Cottage in the Heart of the
Fashionable District

Atlantic City, N. j., June 19.-The
Rev. Matthew Anderson, principal of
the Berean School, of Philadelphia,
has bought the handsome cottage No.
8 South Morris avenue in fashionable
Chelsea. He and his family have
moved into the house, which is in the
heart of the most desirable section of
the suburb, and they announce their
intention to pass happy and health
full summer there.
The Rev. Matthew Anderson and
his family are negroes.
In the cottages nearest them dwell
most exclusive and fashionable per-
sons from Philadelphia and New York.
The Misses Biddle, flower of Phila-
delphia's aristocracy, live across the
street from the Rev. Mr.. Anderson.
Next door to him reside Councilman
Henry Rainsley and Mrs Rainsley, a
daughter of Henry j. bikes, of Phila-
delphia; close by are the cottages of
George E. Essig, Mrs. T. t. Connolly,
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kerengarten and
others prominent in society.
To all Of them it matters not that
the Rev. Mr.. Anderson is well educat-
| ed and has good share of this
worlds goods; he paid $4,000 for the
cottage and got it mighty cheap.
His neighbors had just recovered
| from the shock of the discovery that
a large cottage near their was a
l"wretched, low gambling house" But
the gasps that followed a police raid
on the Casino" would be lost in the
groans over this new complication
Certain cottagers here have limited
| that the AndersOns invasion of Chel-
| sea may be the result of a fashionable
feud. A Mrs. Burton owned the cot
Itage and occupied it last summer. AL
though she appeared to be eminently
respectable she was not received by
| the elite around her and she went
away from here in the middle of the
season. She placed the cottage in the
hands of Philadelphia agents. and, il
| is said. her desire to retaliate led hel
to give the orders which the agents
have followed.
than $4,000.
| The colored preached, while assert
ing his right to live where he pleases
has intimated already that he will
sell the cottage for { $4,000, which
would give him meat profit. 1t may
be that his neighbors will "chip in
and pay him his price. .
| But first they are trying another
plan They have learned that, the
Berean School, of which the Rev. Mr.
Anderson is the head, is supported by
Clarkson Clothier William Wanna
maker and a few other wealthy and
influential Philadelphia gentlemen
Perhaps these charitable gentlemen
will induce the Andersons to go tc
some other seashOre for the summer
that of Liberia, mayhap.
