THE WOODEN DIAL.

Much comment is heard as to the
wooden screen that several months ago
was nailed in the market steeple to
temporarily take the place of the
broken glass dial. This dial was
broken three months ago and why so
much, or SO long, a delay in replacing
it is not Improperly matter OF criti-
cism. The city building only recently
received IL new coat of paint on the
outside, and many think its appearance
is more attractive than if decorated
with lot of cheap cheese cloth to dis
figure the paint in the event of rain.
Every one will admit that the appear
ance OF the stecple would be much inn
proved if the glass dial was placed in
position. There appears to be an I'M
necessary time required to make this
addition to the steep!e. The dial is
here and has been here all the week
unpacked in the corridor OF the city
building. 1t is hoped that there will
be no longer delay and the dial placed
in position early next week.

THE NEW COMET.

"Metcalf's comet" the new celestial
wanderer, will, it is said, afford more
spectacular sight than that attendant
upon the visit OF Halley's comet. From
present indications, when it does come
near the earth, it will present an APP
pearance second to none OF the comets
seen within the last century.
As observed at present, the new comet
is between the orbits of Jupiter and
Mars. nearer the former. As is usual
it is moving toward the sun and will be
seen in the western sky in the evening
until October; when it will pass peri
helion and become visible in the morn
ing. 1t is thought that about the lat,
ter part OF September the display will
be the brightest.

CEMENT HOUSE TO BE TESTED
BY FIRE.

A unique demonstration is planned
at Virginia Highlands for the coming
Labor Day, when one Of the cement
houses poured by the new method Of
home construction will he filled with
combustibles and oil soaked woodwork,
and set atire. Construction will start
on this building during the coming
week, and the building will be COM
,plete for test within ten days. The
steel mould equipment by which this
new type of construction has made pos
sible, is the invention Of u Washington
architect, Milton Dana Morrill,, and
the practicability of his plan has been
demonstrated i'm the construction Of the
first three buildings at Virginia High
lands. The first was q model station
and office building which is a copy
Of a small Italian villa IN the
midst Of garden, and has an attract
i've roof garden on top. The second
and third buildings Of this novel con-
struction are six room residences OF at
tractive design which are now being
finished rs sample houses. showing the
possibility of the new method. The
houses are poured in the new steel
mould equipment which is made OF
standard unit plates locked together
and forming trough around the walls
and partitions. This trough is filled
with the liquid concrete, after which
the second tier Of plates is raised from
below, and the process continued.
There is Il great saving III cost IN this
construction inasmurh rs skilled labor
and waste in the lumber is largely
eliminated, and these damp-proof ce-
ment houses are being sold on rental
basis at no greater cost than for our
less substantial frame houses. This
new type OF construction IS but
one OF the features which Is at
tracing great deal OF public in
terest to the Virginia Highlands plan.
The officers of the association have the
ambition to make Virginia Highlands
perfect from the standpoint OF. the
sanitary engineer, the landcapse archi-
tect, and the social standpoint as we'll
The plan is largely cooperative, 1t
being arranged SO that the home
builders can by pooling their contracts
obtain wholesale prices, and by whole
sale buying the cost of living will be
reduced. While already many sites
have been purchased for home
building the association does not pro-
pose TO have the development depend
upon purchasers for the construction
OF homes and improvements, and it is
intended to proceed for some years
with the house building.
While the MAJORITY OF the homes
will be constructed of cement, after
this new cost saving method, several
brick houses are also planned for con-
struction in the near future. There
has already been great public in
tercst shown in this new enterprise,
and with the increased home building
and the new advertising features which
are proposed, the real estate agents.
Messrs. Ballard & Lanham, expect that
the first section will be entirely dis
posed Of in the early fall, when inn
proyement work will start on section
No. =.
The holdings Of the association at
present are more than LOG acres so that
it will take several years for the develop
ment of the whole property.
