New Roofnu Material,

Englsnd's efforts to conserve steel
and iron have resulted in the devel-
opment Of an asbestos and cement ma
+erial that Is being used instead Of
corrugated iron for roofing purposes.
It is made by mixing n part Of fine
ly ground asbestos to six parts Of
Portland cement. When made into
paste by the addition of water, 1t is
rolled into sheets which, after being
trimmed. are corrugated and then sea-
sonsd. The asbestos serves as rein
forcement.

way and Andrea measured their i'm
portance by the fact that they carried
Msungc's battery of rifles, respectful

fitting tribute from onlookers to men
who we're hunters in their own right.
Msungo nodded toward them and
spoke to Andrea over his shoulder.

Behind Andrea came Marguerite,
his attendant before and Bathrub af-
ter him then followed the gunbearers,
a single tracker and single water
boy. No hangers-on were allowed
even to see the cortege from the craal.
Over one shoulder Bathtub carried
sIung q cracker tin, container Of all
the food allotted tc the day.
In ten minutes march they came to
the river which, n spite OF its proX-
unity to the camp, Andrea now saw
for the first time. Often she had sus-
gested to NJ sungo that she wished to
visit It, but on every occasion his lips
had set in straight line and he he'd
invented manifold reasons for keep
ing her from It's shores. The most ef-
fcacious Of these arguments were
snakes and crocodlles. but while she
conceded the strength Of those two
deterrents she could not escape from
an tntuitive belief that there was
something else-sOIne other and rank
ing cause In the back Of M'sungo's
mind.
E.lc river was treacheroUs-Iooking
stream, deep, sluggish, bordered for
the most part by flat-topped banks.
Where its shores were broken into
shelving slopes these were covered
with towering growth Of reeds and
matted elephant grass. There was a
sand-splt here and there and on each

cast UP by flood.
As the expedition reached the crest
of the bank, thereby coming into full
view Of the river. the logs, one by one,
elevated themselves foot into the
air through all their length and moved
silently, swiftly. horribly into the wa

had seen crocodiles In captivity. but

on distorted legs, to sink silently into
