harvest reports from Argentina where
estimates of the surplus had to be again
reduced. Cold weather northwest Of Chi

ARCHITECT OF TODAY
HAS. COMPLEX DUTIES
Must Be Jack of All Trades, Says
Publication-What His Chief
Hope Consists In.

In discussing the complex duties Of
the practice of architecture at the pres
ent day, u writer in a recent issue OF
the Engineering Record offers the fol-
lowing comments:
Before passing hasty judgment upon
the architect of our times, think a mo-
ment of the evil days upon which he
has fallen. In the medieval times he
must perforce know only the technique
of masonry-the rest was his art. II
he were building a church the fine
stimulus of the Gothic was his inSpira-
tion, and his medium was craftsman
ship with stone. Today he must know
masonry and concrete, structural steel
and sanitary plumbing, lighting and
heating, electric wiring and acoustics.
His predecessor did not have to plan
his steel from another and his wood
work from a third; he was not bounded
by agents of patented devices, nor pes
tered by circulars of supplies offering
the usual architects commission of -
per cent
All these things the architect of today
has to endure, besides being called a
slavish copyist if he turns to the best
in antiquity, and a commonplace inno-
vator if he does not. His chief hope is
in suiting himself as best he may to
new conditions, calling the technical ad-
wires on the details which he cannot in
ter, even if he has the ability, standing
the more firmly by the interests of his
client as he confronts a regiment of
subcontractors and remembering that
he must be artist before being engineer
or contractor.

CONSISTENCY OF CONCRETE.
Lack of Water as Detrimental as
Lack of Cement.

For the foundations and walls of
buildings. enough water should be used
in the concrete so that it will flow to
all parts of the mold with small
amount of pudding and spading. says
the cement world. For columns, beams.
f1oor-slabs and roof-slabs, the mass
should have quaky consistency such
as will tend to flatten out of it's own
weight when piled. The mortar surface
of floors should be mixed with sufficient
water to make it work easily, but an
excess of water should be avoided. Con-
crete blocks. sills and lintels should be
mixed just as wet as possible with the
block machine employed. Blocks and
sills made of mixture wet enough to
be quaky when placed in the mold will
be dense and waterttight Blocks made
with dry materials are porous, lack
strength and present a dead appear
ance. 1t must always be remembered
that the bonding quality of cement in
concrete depends upon a hydraulic ac-
tion between the cement and the water,
in which each plays an equally import
ant part. The lack of sufficient water
to complete this action is therefore as
detrimental as the lack of cement

Great Gum Works of Europe

After the Krupp-Ess gun works the
best known is the Schneider Cruesot
works of France. Sometimes the French
gun is spoken and written of as the
Cruesot gun, and quite often as the
Schneider gun, which often leads read
ers to the conclusion that the Schneider
gun is also a German gun. The guns
of the Cruesot plant are as highly
esteemed by ordnance experts freed of
national prejudice as are the Krupp
guns. and there is perhaps more Crue-
sot field artillery in use among the
armies OF the world than there is Krupp
artillery.
The first mention of Cruesot, so far
as records show, was in the year 1858.
when it was a farm under the name of
Vile de Cruesot. In the sixteenth CEN
tury coal was discovered at Cruesot,
though it was not until 200 years later
that company was formed to mine it.
Gradually iron works were erected
there and the manufacture of guns
started.
In 1888 the iron plant was bought by
two brothers named Schneider, and the
firm of Schneider controls and operates
the great making plant today.
In Austria is the great gun-making
plant known the world over as the
Skoda works, not far distant from
Cracow, and the news has gone around
the world that many of the heavy
pieces of German ordnance used against
lLlcSe, NdHluT, IhduDeFSe ana antwerp
and credited as Krupps were really
products of the Skoda works
In England, in addition to the big
Armstrong or Armstrong -Whitworth
arms works. are the Maxim Wick
ers. the Cammell. Laird and other
big manufacturing plants where
military weapons of the most ap-
proved model are produced In this
connection 1t is worth commenting on
that the name most widely associated
with machine guns is that of an Amer
ican-Sir Hiram Maxim. a native of
the state of Maine.
While one used to hear of the CAT
ling. and to. a certain extent hears
bood deal about, the Hotchkiss, yet the
machine gun which seems to hold the
limelight and the front page is the
Maxim. A man who knows Sir Hiram
Maxim and his works has recently
written that not only has this engi-
neer invented and produced all kinds
of self-acting or automatic guns, but
he has done much to improve all kinds
of military firearms, and since 1883
has invented, patented and exploited
more military inventions that have
gone into general use than all the other
engineers and inventors in the world"
In addition to machine guns the re-
coil system of field guns and the de-
layed-2ction fuse In heavy ordnance
are ascribed to the inventive genius of
this man.

Ventilator and Acoustics.

When a sound passes into air of a
different density part of 1t is reflected
back toward its source and the rest
turned in a different direction from
that toward which it was originally
headed, says the Pittsburgh Post The
result is that If sound encounters
many such changes of density in it's
course it may be as seriously weaken
ed as if a wall of glass intervened.
Recent experiments show that these
facts explain why SO many halls are
hard to hear in.
In many theaters the air. particularly
when the principal source of ventila-
tion is near the footlights, forms a
sort of curtain between the stage and
the auditorium, and makes it very diff
cult to hear what the actors are saying.
A slight motion of the air often has a
good effect on a halls hearing qualities
and a nearly ideal condition is ap-
preached when there is a current flow
ing from the stage to the auditorium,
carrying the voices of the actors with
it.
The acoustics of hall are poorest
when 1t contains several layers of air
of different temperatures and densities.
for at each layer sounds are reflected
and refracted in q way that weakens
their power or causes confusing echoes.
