Why Tin House Is Probable.

The sound-proof telephone booth is rarity, but it has been discovered that any booth can be made absolutely sound proof if 1t is lined with tin. The new idea is applicable in other places where 1t Is desirable to exclude needless sounds, says the Golden Age. One or two layers of tin or aluminium in partitions or between floors are equally effective in shutting out the noise of the neighbours daughters piano or the music of the ragtime phonograph in the flat above. Family quarrels can be conducted without risk of the neighbors' listening, the dog can bark to his hearts content and the head of the house can indulge in a mans prerOgatfve of relieving himself with unseemly vocal sounds. The tin-lined house would be fire proof or fire resisting. If the tin manufacturers can be walked up to the new field for sale of their prod ucts and the architects reused to the desirability of getting inexpensive sound-proof effects, the era of the tin house may become reality.

How to Clean Vanished Paper.

Many kitchens and bathrooms are papered in vanished paper. When soiled this paper can be cleaned and made to look like new if this method is followed: To half bucketful of water add two tablespoonfuls an. mOnia. Wash the walls down with this. Then take half bucketful of clear water and add half a table, spoonful of turpentine. Wash the walls second time with this, and afterward wipe them as dry as pos sible. You will find that the paper has brilliant polish and looks like new.

The concrete is mixed in the right proportions and laid on the rounding surface to the proper thickness, and with suitable re- enforcing. Trenches should be dug at either side to make good footing to hold the culvert rigid and to take the weight of loads passing over 1t.

This should extend to the bottom of the side walls and should not be over five or six inches above the low wa. ter level. This checks any tendency toward undermining and prevents debris from wedging in the bridge.
