CATALOGUES.
The Asbestos Shingle, Slate & Sheathing- Company, whose sole selling agents are the Keasbey & Mattison Company, of Ambler, Pa., describe their products in a compact little pamphlet of thirty-two pages. The products are their Asbestos “Century” Shingles and Asbestos Building Lumber. Made of a combination of asbestos fiber and hydraulic cement, the resulting material is of extraordinary toughness and hardness. It is, of course, perfectly fireproof and quite unaffected by frost or moisture. Moreover, it is light — much lighter than slate, and therefore a roof of asbestos shingles may be laid with much lighter framing. Samples of the material show that it is made in a variety of pleasing colors. The standard sizes for the shingles are 8 by 8, 12 by 12 and 16 by 16 inches; for the sheathing, 42 by 48 and 42 by 96 inches. This latter is made in various thicknesses and is used not only for siding, but for ceilings, floors and partitions, where it proves an effective safeguard against the spread of fire.
The McCray Refrigerator Company, of Kendallville, Ind., finds it desirable to classify its output within the covers of a number of separate catalogues. For instance, refrigerators for hotels, clubs, restaurants, hospitals, etc., are found in Catalogue No. 46; meat markets, in No. 57; grocers, in No. 64; florists, in No. 71, and residences, in No. 81.
These refrigerators are lined with opal glass, tile or whitewood, and are so constructed as to insure an uninterrupted circulation of cold air; and it is claimed that this air is so dry that matches or salt maybe kept in the refrigerator for months without becoming damp, the air-motion being so rapid and constant that all condensation takes place in the ice-chamber. The company makes a specialty of building refrigera
tors to order and solicits from architects copies of plans of buildings in which refrigerators are to be installed, so as to be able to suggest details and submit estimates of cost.
NOTES AND CLIPPINGS.
The Stadium- at Athens. — The great stadium at Athens, now in process of building, on the site of the ancient structure, is nearly finished, and it will be ready for the Olympian games, which will be held during the last week in April. It is constructed entirely of dazzling white marble, is amphitheatrical in shape, and will have a seating capacity of 85, 000. The structure has cost upwards of half a million dollars to date, and when it is complete it will rank next to the Acropolis among the sights of the city. — Exchange.
Liquor for the Barn-raising. — In rural Maine, when one has an especially hard or disagreeable task to perform, one “calls in the neighbors. ” At such times the work performed is done without money and without price, except that the host must provide abundant refreshments, both nourishing and intoxicating. At such times the winter supply of firewood is cut, the timber felled and piled, the frames of buildings raised. Often the host has trouble to find the intoxicants, Maine being a drouthy State.
This was Clancy’s dilemma when he entered the city agency at Bangor. Straight in front of him a sign hung: “Liquor Sold for Use in Sickness or for Mechanical Purposes Only. ”
“I want two gallons of old rum, ” he announced.
The agent pointed wearily to the sign.
“I saw that, ” said Clancy. “I’ve been reading it. ”
“Are you sick? ” “No. ”
“Got a prescription? ” “No. ”
“What do you want it for? ’ queried the agent.
“Got to have it. ” replied Clancy, cheer
