COLD STORAGE BUILDINGS.
How They Are Now Made ImPervioua
10 Heat.
Cement Aged

The modern theory of successfully
insulating buildings for cold storage
and other purposes is based upon en-
trapped affair that is actually dead.
This means that the air must be in
sealed spaces and that the spaces must
be ninutelv small-otherwise the essen
tisl idea of still air. is overthrown.
The insulation must depend for its en-
trapped air upon the interstices or cells
of the material employed rather than
only alternate layers of solid insula-
ton and air spaces.
This new principle Of insulation,
which does away with double walls
with air spaces between, has brought
into vogue solid insulation. In this
type the protection consists Of layers
or blocks of various materials set in
Portland pitch or concrete walls and
protected on the inside surface by plas-
ter or tile. The space occupied by solid
insulation is much less than that uttl-
lied by the older construction. If a
fireproof or slow-burning material be
used in making the insulation the fire
risk is greatly reduced.
The materials available for this So
called solid" method of insulation
are chiefly cork and compressed min
eral wool blocks called ''iith."
Cork. by virtue Of Its natural state
and apparent use for which nature in
tended It, lends itself admirably to in
sulating purposes. In cold storage work
cork is efficient as a nOn-cOnduCtOr
of heat is free from capillary attrac-
ton. and has no tendency to absorb
moisture freely. When used as cork
boards il is granulated, compressed in
/ iron molds and baked while under pres
sure. its own natural gum being liQue-
fled by the heat and uniting the gran
ules into solid blocks. These have fair
structural strength and are quite fire
proof.
Lith is made from rock fiber mineral
wool and degummed flax fiber. IN the
/ process Of manufacturing the settling
/ propensities of the mineral wool are re-
moved and the product given structural
strength by the degummed flax fiber.
/ The finished material is a strong. light,
durable board. II consists of many
minute cells which cOnfine air with the
I least possible chance for circulation.
/ Lith is fairly fireproof, a good con-
ductOr OF heat. and. when cost is con-
/ sidered, compares favorapIy with cork
board.

the Plat family and their friends hold
more than one-third. they have been
running things TO suit themselves.
Considerable has been said in recent
years about interesting the business
man in politics. but in the case Of
Thomas C. Platt the combination has
not proved a bright and shining sue
cess in any particular. The seal Of
the richest and most populous state
Of the Union has been used by the po-
HucaI creatures Of the ex-senator for
the purpose of plumber. and the easy
boss" has been one of the chief bene-
ficiaries. The charter of the United
States Express company cannot be de-
Tended upon moral grounds, whatever
the result Of the legal contest. Public
policy forbids the continued existence
of any such instrument in the hands of
a minority Of shareholders in any COM
pany. and it is to be doubted If the
courts will uphold this fraudulent per-
mission to transact business in the fu-
ture, permission obtained through the
exercise Of political influence. The
Wall Street Journal, after reviewing
the facts in the case. says:
The United States Express company
says by implication that it has some
thing TO conceal, and in epneealing that
something from publication a select few
Of its stockholders are given special
and unfair privilege and protection
Making this admission. as it necessari-
ly does i'm the refusal TO permit any
kind OF publicity it carries a bad case
before public opinion when it claims the
protection of its charter. Such charters
have been upset by the courts before
now, and in respect of the power to call
meetings Of stockholders, the charter
should be upset without further delay
i'm the interests Of investors every
where"
So much fer the United States Ex-
press company. Since the searchlight
has been turned on, perhaps the Platts
will join Judge Gary in his holy cru

Hardwick, on the hills north of Ware

nos prosperous farming towns in Mas
sachusCttS, and contains Some herds of
cattle that are famOus-perhaps the fin
est In America. Hardwick is a producer
OF good men. also men whose quality is
not inferior to that of Jersey cows they
raise.
One of these Hardwick men. Calvin.

taihs requests amounting to $3.50 0G0 for
public objects in the old town Of which
he was very fond.
The New Englander who leaves lis
native town I'm his boyhood. and is
taken back there to be buried when he
dies, is apt to feel a good deal of inter
est in the local cemetery, and this is a
fortunate thing. because every Gene
terry ought to have a supporting fund.
In most or the country cemeteries there
is much need for the resetting Of stones
and monuments on concrete founda-
! tons going below the frost line, and
this is costly. Mr. Paige thought q
water system the greatest need Of the
/ Hardwick cemetery. and he left fund
Of $4,000 to provide the needed water.
and to add to the amount annually
available for adjoining and caring for
the grounds.
For the town schools Mr.. Paige pro-
/ vided a fund Of $4,000. and the same
amount is left TO the Universalist
church Of Hardwick for promoting
