with twisted steel rods. On top of
this concrete and terra-cotta floor, a
one-inch coat OF cinder concrete is
laid on these strips. being nailed down
securely. For the ceiling finish, the
wall plaster is applied directly to the
underside of the concrete beams and
the tiles. This makes floor that is
thoroughly fireproof. very warm, and
not excessively heavy.
The roof of this house may be con-
structed in a number of ways; yet 1t
should be made fireproof, since the
roof is really the most vulnerable part
of the house. Green slate would be
very appropriate, and would make a
beautiful contrast with the cement
walls. The roof in this design Is
rather prominent, and, all things con-
sidered. slate would probably be the
most satisfactory.
One OF the newer forms Of roof con-
struction that might be used, consists
of corrugated steel sheets resting on
light steel framework. The CORFU
cations are deep enough to prevent
any bending of the sheets between
supports. Waterproofed cement plas-
ter is spread over the sheets in a
coat about one inch thick. completely

Mr.. william A. Radford win answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building. for the readers of this
paper. On account OF his wide experience
as Editor Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. us West

enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
The accom- paying Illustrations
show house design especially adapt
ed to the needs of suburban or coxn-
try building. The requirements for
a dwelling house for such a location
are different in good many respects
from those In city. More attention
should be paid to the matter of max
ing the house as nearly fireproof as
possible; for in the country, as well
as In our smaller towns and suburbs,
there is little or no fire protection.
Accordingly, IL building once takes
IRE, nothing, as usual thing, can
be done except to watch it burn. OF
course, the fire risk from adjoining
buildings is much greater in thickly
settled communities; but the fire
hghting apparatus which is quickly
available more than makes up for this
extra hazard.
The only wise and logical thing for
a man to do when he plans to invest
large amount of money in a subur-
ban or country home, is to build 1t
fireproof. With the modern building
materials now available, it is very
easy to do this; and the cost, although
considerably more than for frame, is
certainly not excessive when the fire
protection, the enduring character OF
the house, ETC., are taken into consid-
Grafton.
For the accompanying design, a
thoroughly fireproof construction is
employed. The beauty and home-like
atmosphere Of this house make any
expenditure, however large, seem
worth while that will make 1t abso-
lutely safe and enduring. no matter
where 1t is built.
The walls of this house are formed
of two by six-inch studding, well
braced; but they are covered both
inside and out with expanded metal
lath. The outside Is plastered with
cement plaster applied in three coats;
thus there is fully one inch of natures

Indian summer is a name used to
describe a short season of pleasant
weather in the Central and Atlantic
coast states. 1t usually comes either
in October or November. There is no
definite time for Indian summer, but

frost or series of frosts and storms.
1t is the season that is welcome be-
cause it comes after everyone has set.

Indian summer always holds winter OF

Prof. s. G. Russell of springfield,
Mass. who explored the interior of
Iceland last summer, recently deliv-
cred very interesting account of his
travels, designating his lecture as
Viking Trails in Iceland" Soma OF
the places he saw have not been Wis
TIED except by occasional explorers
since the days when the Vikings had
a trail through the region. Mr.. Rus.
sells course, says press report OF
the lecture, took him across the island
In line, his first objective being the
volcano Askja. He entered the crater
of this volcano with his companion
and a guide, the three held together
by a rope about 1876 feet long. For
many miles the party travelled through
the desert formed by the vast lava
beds made by former eruptions OF the
volcano. The country is absolutely
desolate and presents the strange con-
trast of ice cliffs in the immediate
neighborhood of steaming hot springs.
The pictures give vivid idea Of this
country which is formed of sharp
ridges and masses of lava, through
which 1t is very difficult to travel. At
times the party had to travel for many
hours without stopping for food, in or
der to find water and grass for the
Iceland ponies Mr.. Russell has high
praise for these Iceland ponies, which
with no care and little food can en-
dure hardships which no ordinary
horse could survive. No..
After leaving the volcano the party
travelled through the desert In the
center of the island, passing between
two glaciers and finally reaching the
coast opposite to that from which they
started. Here the departure of Mr..
Russell's companion for England, who
had had enough of the hardships Incl
dent to travel In Iceland, brought the
trip to>a close.
It Is reported from Copenhagen that
Danish trading company in Green

gion around Godthaab, is exceedingly
well adapted for the rearing of the
