TERRA GOTTA is USED
INSTEAD OF TIMBER
Substitute for Fast Disappearing
Supply of Wood Is Sought
Everywhere.

The approaching worlds timber famine
is beginning TO worry constructors. states
a writer in the Clay Worker, and will
mean that If reforestration is not taken
in hand Immediately, other materials
must be found to take the place of wood.
The United States government has es-
tablisled laboratories at various centers
for the purpose of testing all sorts Of
structural materials. The results of
these tests are published from time to
time, and in this way architects. en-
sineers and contractors are Informed as
to the capabilities of the materials.
Only within the last Year or two has
general interest in the diminishing tim
Der supply been aroused. To that condi-
ton may be traced also the invention of
novel building materials
Thus there IS constant attempt to
employ for building the only substance OF
which the supply is unlimited. the soil of
he earth itself Especially is this so in
and near the big cities. where the scare
ity of timber and the consequent high
prices are felt most seriously. For here
the difference in price between the frame
house and the house of more solid material
is so small to be unimpOrtant
Illustrative of the general tendency to
lind substitutes for wood il the sugges-
ton of Herbert NJ Wilson of the United
States SeoiOSHdi survey, tnat scientific
Investigations into the properties of CLAW
be undertaken. The American Ceramic
Society made a start in this direction by
appointing a special committee to report
upon plan for ''systematizing the study
of clay products.
Individual builders meanwhile have
gone ahead and demonstrated the prac-
ticability of their ideas. Last year the
building department of New York city
for the first time in its history, received
plans for terra Gotta house. The plans
were passed upon favorably. and the
house which belongs to a professor in
New York University, has just been COM
pleted.
In the suburbs around New York there
have been put up recently several terra
Gotta dwellings. The principal element
| in them is the hollow tile block
In the walls and partitions the blocks
are set OH side, so that the hollow spaces
form continuous horizontal pipes These
hollow spaces make the walls non-con-

ductors of heat, and thus tend to keep
the houses warm in winter and cool i'll
summer. In the floors the blocks are
laid between beams of steel or rein
forced concrete. With both walls and
floors made of terra Gotta each room is
inclosed with iireproof material. and fire
could not easily spread from one room
to another.
The exterior surface of house of this
type is covered with a stucco of what
ever color the owner chooses. The origi-
nal cost of a terra Gotta house is per-
haps 10 per cent greater than that OF a
timber building of similar size. The ul-
innate saving is effected through small
er maintenance charges and insurance
premiums.
Perhaps the most significant single ef
fort toward the substitution of other ma
terials for wood is the proposal to ex-
tend the fire limits of New York to in
cIude the whole greater city. If the alder
men pass such an ordinance it will mean
that no more timber houses of any kind
may be built in the metropolis. Ten years
ago this plan would have had no chance
of success; now 1t has a good chance,
simply because the high price of timber
has made the cost of a fireproof house
relatively small, and has. therefore, re-
moved or weakened the desire of builders
to uses wood.
In Australia, says Building, the use of
terra Gotta is manifested by the govern
ment and a number of leading architects
specifying the material for floors and
such buildings as I'm the New Cen
trail railway station. the Fisher Library,
the National Library, etc, as well as
the internal walls of such skyscrapers
as the Commercial Travellers Club build
ing. the BIashki building. Beulah Resi-
dental Flats. the Union BaAk and other
important structures.
After more than thirty years contin-
uaI use terra Gotta is still one Of the
standards by which fireproof excellence
, in construction is reckoned; in fact, being
composed Of clay which has Decn burnt
in n kiln at a temperature of from 1900
to $50 degrees Fahrenheit. it is actually
a fire product, hence cannot be destroyed
BY the element that created it.
The worlds timber devastation is MAX
ing our constructors seek a substitute,
and the question now engaging the gen
eral attention is: viii it be replaced by
terra Gotta?

ADDITIONS TO BE MADE
TO THE LOUISE HOME
Three Story Extension Will. Be
Built on West Side of Pres
emit Structure.

A contract was made this week by the
trustees of the Louise Home, Massachu-
sets avenue and 18th street. for
needed additions and alterations to the
building which, when completed, will add
very much to the convenience Of the insti-
tuition. The plans as prepared by Marsh
G. Peter, architects. provide for three
story extension on the west side, 36x3S
feet in size. with new dining room oc-
cupying the entire first floor and with
sleeping rooms on the upper floors.
The basement will contain a new
kitchen furnished with new and modern
cooking apparatus. The present dining
room and kitchen will be remodeled for
other purposes and there will be new
paHtries and bathrooms added.
The exterior of the new addition will
conform in design with the present
building, which was erected in 1867 by
the late w. w. Corcoran as a memorial
to his wife and daughter.

BULLION THEFT
A BIG MYSTERY
Loss or rs5T 900 FROM ALASKA AN
STEAMER BECOMES MORE
PUTIIING.

Seattle, Wash, Sept, 13.-The mys-
terry of the theft of $4,000 Of gold
bullion In transit on the Steamer
Humboldt from Fairbanks Alaska.
20 Seattle, IL almost as deep as be.
fore. Indeed, the distance TO be
searched for the thieves was enlarged
by the addition of the Yukon liirr
between Fairbanks and Dawson.
The first reports stated that gold
boxes containing $4,000, shipped 10y
the Washington Alaska Bank OF Fair
banks to the Dexter Horton National
Bank of Seattle, were opened by the
custom officers at Dawson ana the
gold examined. This was untrue. for
the Canadian official merely looked
at the express seals 20 see that they
were intact.
The theory among the shipping men
and Alaskans Is that the robbery was
committed on the Yukon steamer
for It seems TO have been AN exaet
counterpart of the Miller robbery In
1908.

To School Agnln.

A merry tramp of little feet
Just hear the sweet vibration;
The children over all tho land
Have had Il long vacation
And back agnin they haste TO take
In school the dear old places
To measure out the days ny ruIe,
with fair unshadowed faces,
They troop along the city streets,
Grave eyes grow young that see
them,
And wistrul hearts from every blight
OF sin and pain would free them.
Athwart the dusty ways Of change,
with watts Of flowers and grasses,
As If to music sweet ana strange,
The brilliant army passes
Along the quiet country roads,
BY purple gsters bordored.
At nine O'Clock and half-past three,
The gay reviews are ordered;
And childish voices clear and shrill
Amaze the neeping thrushes,
And other little feathcred folk.
Housekeeping in the bushes,
We older folk ike 10 watch
our little lads and lasses,
AS steadily they set to work,
In sober ranks and classes:
Such happy brows are overbent.
So con the pictured pages,
Such earnest Wills are wrestling with
The story OF the ages
And sometimes signing as we gaze
So fast are brains growing
We think of darker skies to come
For these so glad and glowing.
Fain would we keep the children still
Brown-cheeked and blithe and rud-
dy,
with nothing harder in their lives
Than days of task and study.
But God our Fathers wiser love,
Prepares them for the evil;
This army yet shall wage the war
with world and flesh and devil.
God bless them In the coming years
And guard the waiting pdaces
Which. by and by Hen bid them Ill.,
His smile upon their faces.
