requires year and a half to dry out thoroughly
and meanwhile wallpaper peels and paint olistefs.
Lately Ohio inventor has put on the market
concrete hollow tile which is claimed TO surpass all
other hreproof material. A 12-inch wall. both wa
terproof and ireproof, may be made OF the ties
without special treatment or with the application
Of plaster or stucco. which becomes practically an
integral part OF the wall. The tiles are cast in
steam heated mOulds and are annealed or cured IN
an oven. which is merely Fastening or the nor
nal crvstaIIation of the concrete material. All
corners angles and plane surfaces OF the tiles are
mathematically correct. This insures solidity and
dispatch in construction. 1t is said that house
can be built of the tiles cost no greater than
for wooden structures modern eight room resi-
dence made OF concrete tiles costs $4,000. including
all interior finish while the lowest competitive bid
for wooden construction was $500 Moulding ma
chimes for manufacturing the tiles are leased by
the inventor, and New York company Is planning
to supply the metropolitan territory With the prod
uct of the machines
Wood subjected TO treatment making II PROOF
against fire and decay is sought by some builders
as the next best thing to earthly material The
process Of vulcanizaton protects wood indefinitely
from the effects OF the weather making 1t moro
enduring than kinds of stone. and the cost OF
vucanizing the timber of H.2Oo house or ounSa-
low Is than 500. The lumber Is placed IN
an iron tank with a solution OF creosote under an
air pressure of 5000 pounds TO the square inch Ihe
pressure forces the creosote about three inches
into the wood. The Germans invented this process,
using it especially to force dyes into lumber. and
thus producing imitation rosewoods and ebonies
that will deceive any one who Is not an expert. A
demand for creosoted bungalows has come from
Mexico where the ants attack and destroy ordi-
nary wooden structures.
Many substitutes for the conventional wood and
plaster wall are employed by bungalow builders
There Is OF course economy In dispensing with
plaster and paper, not to mention celebrity OF con
struction. Burlap similar cloth material nailed
on the studding takes the place OF plaster. while
the exterior sheathing is sometimes omitted IN
favor Of novelty siding" vhich Is a variety Of
capboard- II cannot 6s said that such wall Is
impervious to the elements. though II may do very
well for the summer season. The most primitive
wall is single thickness of boards nailed veru-
cally to the studding and the joints hattened or
covered with strips. This Is the style OF
the old fashioned barn and chicken house. yet 1t
has been put artistic use by a California bunga-
low builder Louis b. Easton OF Pasadena. Mr.
Easton employs Pinch unpaned planks OF REDWOOD

climate is less injurious to the type than the
weather Of northern states Metal latha are
sometimes used instead of wood laths beneath the
stucco and while these freproof they tend TO
rust and buckle with changes of temperature. The
adhesion, moreover. between metal and an earthy
material is distinctly poor. Hollow blocks OF terra
Gotta concrete nave been built up on wooden
frame, while a few builders have poured liquid
concrete between wooden walls and produced an
oddly hybrid dwelling
When blocks Of terra Gotta or concrete are Pauly
made they are very porous and even Ieaky IN vet
weather. The steel frame structure faced with such
material, which is then succeed with. concrete, is
not likely to be used for small residence; II Is
open TO the objection Of unequal expansion of metal
and concrete during fire which causes disaster

roofs is the asbestos lumber made by New Jer-
sey concern This is made OF cement and asbestos.
hardened under pressure. II IS supplied shingles
OF moderate size and three-sixteenths of an inch
thick or in strips three and one-half feet Wlde'
eight feet long and any desired thickness The
price OF the material is 10 cents square foot with
a thickness OF one-eighth OF inch, and 10 cents
added for every extra oneeighth inch in thickness.
When the asbestos lumber IS comparatively fresh
frcm the factory it may be cut and nailed without
difficulty, but after few months II acquires
stony hardness. 1t is being used for roofing the
elevated stations Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company and as a complete exterior for new

batten the strips OF asbestos with wood On account
of the aesthetic eject, but 1t is possible 10 use

F1reproof construction has a financial advantage

struction has not yet been brought down within
reach of the modest home builder. No doubt IL is

CANCER TESTS ON MICE.

In the laboratories Of the Imperial Cancer Re
search Fund the observation of cancer cases, at all
stages and varieties Of the disease, is constantly
proceeding For this purpose ten thousand mice
are used. They have all been inoculated with
cancer.
The normal life OF a mouse is about eighteen
months or less-roughly. about a fifteth part OF
that OF a normal, healthy man. A week of cancer
in a mouse is, therefore, equal TO year OF cancer
in a mana fact which facilitates observation;
The mice are specially bred for the purpose and
three months after being infected with cancer
II has been definitely proved In the laboratories
