carried out with greater ease and rapid
itv when the inferior kind is used.
Not to seem unfair to them. il should
be said that unless plenty of lime is
used plastering with sharp grit sand
is most laborious. and a man must
work very hard, indeed, to show good
results. 1t must also be remembered
that where clear grit sand is not easily
procurable. that same can only be OBJ
tanned at considerable cost 1T must
either be imported or local sand must
be washed. This can only be done
where good price is paid for the
work
Ashes as Substitute.
To obtain the best results At the
cheapest price in districts whe"e sand
is costly use good clean ashes III the
proportion of two or three to one Of
lime, with clean long hairs added. after
removing mortar from mill and worked
in with a rake. Cases are know.
where the hair has been thrown into
the mill a few minutes before the
grinding is completed. but it is obvious
that it must be considerably broken by
the grinding process and this being
so, the object for which it is used is
thereby to some extent defea ted. 1t is
however, a simple matter to learn the
best way of mixing it: a few handfuls
thrown into a. pan Will be a sufficient
test for the purpose.
Domestic ashes and Hue dust are more
Objectionable than cheap sand and
should. therefore, never be used Those
supplied by railway companies or other
large works give excellent results.
With this material. as with all lime
and hair mortar. it is essential that a
good key should be allowed in all
lathinS. A case is mentioned above
where the laths were Tapped at
joints and though this is very COM

In every instance the ceilings cracked
the way of the joists, the way Of the
laths and diagonally.
The most interesting cas- of all
which transpired in the ordinary course
or business happened a few Years ago
in district where sand is not avail
able. All building and plasterinG NOR
tar consists of ashes and linfe ground
in mortar mill. The ceiling mortar is
IN the proportion of about three OF
ashes to one of lime. that for walls
about four or five to one Plasterers in
many districts would be surprised to
learn that hair is practically an un-
known quantity in these places
Experience has proved to me that
while it is not absolutely necessary, it
is somewhat desirable. The writer, Of
course, argued in favor of using it, but
finally gave way before the arguments
of the builders and plasterers belong
ing to the locality.
The result was as follows: Twelve
houses were plastered as above, no hair
being used The 1ath were the cheapest
quality sawn, Tapped at joints and un-
broken for the whole length of the
room. Joists were seven inches by two
inches.
Let by Piecework.
The plastering was let piecework The
ceilings. walls and studded partitions
were given one coat about five-eighths
inch thick. rubbed up with float and
SKINNED when firm, but not completely
white dry. No plaster of paris was
used, the plasterers being allowed a free
hand.
These ceilings We're examined about six
months after occupation and We're found
practically free from cracks The key
was found firm and unbroken. Mr.. Dorian
is inclined to believe that the omission of
hair will be felt at a later date. The
houses We're left with the impression that
the key could not possibly stand the
same strain as those where good, long
hair is used, and one would not care to
expose them to any severe test Other
wise they appeared eminently satisfac-
tory.
By this process of reasoning the con
clusion was reached that cracked cell
ings are chiefly due to the free use OF
loaming sand. Only in rare and isolated
cases it is perfectly clean and all grit
Plasterers dislike sharp sand. preferring
the kind as much like soil as possible.

SEEKS TO FIND CAUSE
OF CRACKED CEILINGS
Expert Conducts Tests in Attempt
to Solve Perplexing
Problem.

Among the defects of minor Importance
associated with the completion of a new
building it would be difficult to name any
which cause more dissatisfaction and un-
pleasantness than unsishtly cracks in
plaster ceilings. These usually make
their appearance when the building is
ready for occupation, and continue to ap-
pear for a considerable time in the most
provoking manner. The writer is not
considering the numerous patent plasters
on the market, which have been designed
to supersede the old ia shioned lime and
hair mortar, as one will readily admit
that the use of these reduces the above
defects to a minimum. but in every case
which has come under my notice the cost
is more. says V. Dorian in London
building journal.
Bearing in mind, therefore, this fact,
the writer confines his remarks to the
ordinary lime and hair mortar. this being
the material in general use throughout
that country. During a connection with
the plastering trade extending over
period of sixteen years Mr.. Dorian has
neen associated with many interesting
experiments to find the cause and, per-
haps the remedy for cracked ceilings. In
many cases considerable expense has
been incurred by the contractors in or
der to assist the architect and clerk of
works to solve the problem.
