HOUSES SHOT FROM GUNS.

The cement gun is an invention de-
signed to do away with the whitewash
and kalsomine brush, the cement and
plaster trowel and a few other things
Of a similar nature. 1t is the very
latest method of applying coatings of
cement, lime and gypsum and other
plastic materials to structures in need
Of repair. and of putting up the origi-
nal walls of such structures entire, if
need be. In other words. the cement
coated or concrete house of the future
seems destined to be literally shot
from a gun The idea of shooting a
house. not To pieces but together, may
sound absurd. but it Is well to remem-
Der that this is an age of scientific
mirecles. which come almost as fast
and as thick as the flowers that spring
up after an April shower. and we really
should not be surprised at anything
that happens.
There would seem TO be an almost
unlimited field for the practical use of
the cement gun. foundation work and
waterproofing below grade should be
well adapted to this process. As a
means of coating steel to prevent rust
and cOrrosion it should prove superior
to the ordinary method of painting. for
a cement coat wi wear much better
than one of paint. The pipe line of the
New York equeduct from the Catskill
mountains is now being lined with a
two-inch coating of cement and sand
in this manner. The inside diameter of
the pipe is eight feet, eleven inches, so
that a man can easily walk through il
and perform the spraying process.
Smaller pipes can be similarly treated
in sections.
Suppose you have old and crumbling
walls, fences. sidewalks or leaky roofs
that need repairing, or a wooden build
ing that you want made fireprOOf in
anticipation of a visit from the fire
insurance examiner. There will be no
need Of having ones premises Uttered
up for a week or more with a lot of
mortar. boards and mixtures. scaffold
ings and similar eyesores. as in times
past. You simply send out a hurry-up
call for the cement-gun man, who
comes around with his little revolver.
and-presto, everything is made spick
and span while you wait" 1t is some
thing like sending ones clothing to the
cleaner. only in this case the cleaner
comes to you
Tree surgery is another thing that
seems destined to undergo a revolution
If all that is claimed for the sement
gun proves practical. There are hun
dreds of torn, cracked and decaying
trees in the private yards. on the streets
and in the public parks of every city
that could have their years of useful
ness and ornament doubled if they were
given proper attention. The trouble is
that it doesn't pay to go around and
patch them up with handmade cement
or plaster. as it might be termed. Be
sides. this is an instance wherein il is
that the plastic product
should be applied with the least posi-
BILE delay after mixing on account of
its subsequent constant exposure to the
elements. With the cement gun this
work can be done so quickly and cheap
ly that it's use in this connection should
become very general-Technical World

CunbOat Is Detained
By Com. Davis, Who Places
American Sailors on Board.
Details Lacking--Action Supposed
To Be TO Prevent an Attack.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Hornet,
Gen, Bonillas revolutionary gunboat,
which has been promoting his cause
along the coast of Honduras, has been
boarded by a force from the Ameri-
can gunboat Tacoma. This Informal
ton came in wireless dispatch to
the navy department today from Com
mander Cooper of the United States
ship Marietta. The dispatch merely
stated that ii had been found ncces-
sary to place force Oh board in or
der to detain the Hornet and added
that details would be reported later.
The state department is anXiously
awaiting these details in order to de-
tcrmine its future course of action.
The attorney general is investigat
ing the question whether or not the
Hornet has violated the neutrality of
the United States and pending the re-
suit of that inquiry the state DEPART
nent announced that the vessel would
not be permitted to commit any actual
hostile act against the government of
Honduras.
The action of Commander Davis Of
the Tacoma. in boarding the Hornet. it
is assumed here. has based upon an in
tention of the revolutionists to strike
a telling blow against the coast of the
little republic The naval officers in
