 Charles Scribner's Sons, Publishers,
 New York City.
 T would rather have this book published than anything that has ever been written about me- Colonel Roosevelt told the editor when they were tanning this volume.
 Colonel Roosevelt appears in new and altogether delightful light in this collection of his letters written to his children at intervals over a period of dozen years. In the earlier letters he Is the favorite companion and playmate, bubbling over with fun. Later letters show the father wise in suggestion and sympathetic with his sons in their sports and intellectual pursuits. Wherever parents and chill dren are, there this informal record of great father and companion will be read aloud and treasured.

New Building Material.

An all-mineral substitute for wood,
composed of Portland cement, sand
and asbestos fiber, has been found
to serve excellently as base for walls,
floors. etc. as. being cellular in struc-
ture. 1t takes nails easily and holds
them firmly. The new material. says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. has the
advantages over wood of being fire
and warpproof. This latter quality
makes it especially suitable for use as
a subfiooring when composition floors
are used. as cracking of the latter is
said to he eliminated. As it has the
property of holding nails well, interior
wood trimming and shingles may be
nailed directly TO the new base mate
rial. IT is also said to possess good
insulating qualities.
