A 100O-foot ship is to be added to the
fleet of the White Star company; and
900-foot sky-scraper is projected to take
the place of the burned Equitable build
ing. This would seem to be carrying
things to extreme lengths on both land
and sea.
Spraying large building surfaces with
paint applied by hose instead of with
a paint brush has proved successful as
a labor-saving device, and this idea has
now been initiated in the cement gum"
which sprays cement instead of paint,
and gives a rock like surface to anything
against which 1t is directed. 1t has been
used on the Panama Canal to strengthen
crumbling rock, and may be used to
cover frame houses so as to give the
appearance Of stone.
