BOUT the first thing that causes
n trouble and annoyance when
IN one moves into their new home
- Il the chimney. While II would
seem as though the average
SS mason through much previous
experience ought to be able to build
chimney that would draw WELL such does
not appear to be the case.
The chimney is one Of the most i'm
portant details OF the home; still Il is sell
dom given the slightest thought by the
home builder. who Usually trusts to the
knowledge OF his mason for satisfactory
results. There are few right ways and
many. many ways in which 10 build Chin
neys; also, chimney built to meet the
requirements in one instance would some
times not meet them in another instance,
owing to the surrounding conditions being
different.
The first point to be considered, and one
which avery homebuilder can easily OBJ
serve, Is the location Of the top of the
chimney. This should never be less than
two feet above the highest ridge on the
house 1t sometimes occurs that ridge,
dorrner or other prominent protrusion on
the house next door is nearer or as near
to the chimney ae the highest point Of the
house on which IL Is built. When such is
the case 1t should be at least two feet
above the highest point on either house.
When the chimney extends more than
six feet above the roof It should be an
chored from the direction In which the
wind ie most apt to strike II by an iron
rod securely fastened into the rafters at
one end and extending through at least
the outside surface of brick on the Chin
ney, with a wide washer TO keep it from
pulling out. Where Il 10 anchored into the
roof II should be securely flashed with
tin at the point OF contact to keep the
rain from following the rod in under the
shingles. Anchor rods on a chimney never
look well except when there is a hurri-
cane blowing and then, like an awkward
looking fire escape on a building during
fire, they look most appropriate and well
come
There is no excuse for building a chim-
ney In the old-fashioned way OF common
brick with a cement mortar lining except
the false idea of economy. Mortar lining

fires that have their start in the old-fash-

Drinking Cups.

The public drinking cup will be outlawed
in Chicago on August 6, as IL will be in
New York on October 1. the aldermen OF
the Windy City having passed an ordi-
nance giving It only ninety days of grace

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT

Direction Of Expert to
Loosen Subsoil
opeciai to Dany Leader.

Houston. Texas, Nov. 25-Decem-
ber 27 will witness one Of the most
interesting experiments ever carried
on in the Rio Grande valley when,
under, the direction of an expert from
powder factory five acres Of land at
Roymandville will be blasted to loos-
en- the subsoi
According TO William b. Newhall
on whose farm the experiment is to
be tried, holes forty feet apart over
this tract will be bored to a depth OF
five feet, and a charge of dynamite
exploded in each.
1t is expected that in this way the
hard subsoil will be broken up to that
depth. BY this means the water stor-
ing capacity of the soil will be in
creased, and at the same time the
losening of the soil will allow of per-
feet subdrainage
Mr. Newhail says that while the
use of dynamite for this purpose is
not new, it has never been tried in
this soil.
