 During the last few years several new breeds of the dog have been imported into this cerntry, and are being pushed to the front rapidly. One of these is the Grif- ion, devil-may- care, wiry-haired, little fellow with plenty of vim and ambition. This is one of the subjects for this week S page on our friend the dog. Another breed is the Great Dane. a loyal animal to his master, and ready to protect to the death the home that feeds him. The mottled beauty reproduced herewith is typical specimen. They also come in the mouse color and brindle, all equally well bred and useful, and it's just a ques- ton of taste as to color in choosing a dog of this breed. We also reproduce two perfect types of the English Bull Terrier, a magnificent brace of winners over everything ,shown and a recent importa-

If terrier is kept secluded during the day-tied up or locked up-and turned loose at night on the inside of the house where he belongs, no danger attaches to this pet. But if left to run at large in the yard, where he can be leased by passers-by, his feel lngs are easily hurt, and there Is trouble

EXPENSE OF BUILDING
SHOWS LARGE ADVANCE
Cost of Structural Steel Goes Up
Nearly so Per Cent in Past Year.
Other Materials Also Higher.

During the last year the contract
price of steel shapes has advanced from
SIG to $50 a ton, and frequently in
recent months higher prices have been
paid for prompt delivery. Naturally
there has been some tendency to delay
or abandon the construction of build
inss not imperatively needed, particu-
lariy structures of more or less specu-
lative character. says the Iron Trade
Review Hence it is interesting to in
quire to what extent the increased cost
OF plain steel and of fabricating and
erecting is responsible for the in
creased cost OF new buildings
Few years ago the Office building
or ordinary form of construction was
being erected at from $50 to s65 a ton,
While today the cost is from $50 to $50.
rms LOOKS like rather large per-
cost Of building of this type the cost
of the steel is only IL to is per cent.
although the cost of the steel in some
store buildings Is as high as 20 per
t thn ca uak IN this high percentage-2o--
materials has increased about As per
cent. 1t would seem from these figures
that the Increased cost of steel does
not furnish much reason for postponing
erection of any building that is ex-
cost - 80
The use of concrete construction is
oeing resorted to in some cases, but
the tonnage of steel required for re-
inforclng in concrete buildings is fully
haif OF that required in a strictly steel
building. Hence the saving by the use
OF concrete Is not very large. Another
fact to be remembered is that the sal
wage Of a concrete building is nothing.
The history of buildings shows that
very many. especially in large cities,
are torn down In twenty-five years. In
the razing of building of steel con
struction the salvage is at least equal
to the cost of removing the building,
but IN the case of concrete buildings
nothing Is saved, and the razing
process is an extremely difficult one.
Concrete has its uses. but as a substi-
tute for steel it is not making very
rapid progress. In fact, 1t is a ques-
ton whether it has not actually in
creased the tonnage of steel used in
erecting buildings
