Paper Gas Pipes. Paper gas pipes are among the novelties ieported from Europe. Ma nilla paper Is cut up into strips whose width Is equal to the length of the pipe Boction to be used. The paper bands are then passed into a vassel filled with melted asphalt After com ing out of the bath the prepared strip is rolled uniformly and very tightly around an iron rod or pipe which Bervos as the core and has the same diameter which the gas pipe is to have. The rolling of the paper is stopped when the right thickness has been secured. After the pipe sec tion which is thuB formed has been put through a high pressure It Is cov ered on the outside by a layer of sand which la pressed Into the asphalt while still hot. The outer surface of tho pipe Js treated with a waterproof compound. It is Bald that tho pipe Is very tight and Is cheaper than metal piping. New Electric Bell. Tho electric bells at present In ubo aro of practically tho same as those Ilrat Introduced, especially In tho shapo of the bell. A New Jersey Inventor hn patented an electric boll which Is of tho sumo shapo as tho old hand-ringing boll, tho electrical apparatus bolng attached In a novel manner. Tho bell Is of the suspended typo, tho apparatus placed in tho hol low Interior of tho bell. It Is oper ated by a clapper, which Is connect ed with a vibrating armaturo pivot ally suspended from tho crown of tho boll. A magnot is also Biispondod The Suspended Magnet, within tho boll, and tho usual oloc trlc apparatus counoctod with tho clappors. On pushing tho pushbut ton tho circuit la closed, tho magnot forcing tho clappor to vibrato and ring tho boll. Tho boll and boll-rlng-lug apparatus Is susnondod unon a wlro hook, tho wires from tho bat tory connecting with this hook and not with tho boll dlroct, tho circuit bolng continued through tho wlro hook. In this way tho boll can bo sua ponded instantly just ua nssombled at tho factory, without requiring tho connection of uuy wires, and can bo euslly romoved by simply lifting It from tho hook. Moreovor, tho boll will always hang froo and truo, which Is essential to Its satisfactory oporn tlon, and tho apponrunco of tho boll Is ulso much enhunced by tho con cealment of tho circuit wires. Paper Corks. A remarkable Invention hus just boon porfected and pateutod. It la a machine which makes corks out of wasto paper and paper pulp. All kinds of wasto paper can bo mudo Into corks, which aro superior to tho regular sort, as they aro not affected by acids or ollsj they have been test ed by loading chemists and the larg est users of corks, and. It Is claimed for them that thoy are far suporlor to tho old style In every way. " ' I Ml ,- MAKES COMFORT FOR POULTRY. New Features of Value In Plan of Hen House. The plan for a poultry house given herewith is intended to be a'bout 30 feet long and 13 feet wide, ttough these dimensions may be reduced con siderably. A feature worth noting is the arrangement of the nests which are entirely covered and access to them is through a covered passage way that opens at one end through which the hens go to get to their nestB. This renders them very much secluded , The board that covers the nests Is held In place with hinges. By raising this board all the nests are opened to view, making it very convenient for taking out the eggs. This device renders the nesting place dark and the entrance that leads to theso nestB being at one end of The passageway prevents the hens from getting Into the nests except when they wish to lay. On the north side of this room aro three roosting poles that aro made of 2x2s with the cor ners rounded. They rest on small wooden horses about 3 feet high that stand on a lloor. Tho object of this floor Is to catch the droppings from which they can bo conveniently tak en. Tho wooden horses, roosting poles and platforms are all movable and can, on short notice, be taken outsldo to bo cleaned or gotten out of the way for renovating the house. Montreal Herald. Cement for Wall. 1. How many barrels of Portland cement would bo required to build 128 feet of wall seven feet high and ono foot thick, using a quantity oL' stono fillers? 2. Would thero bo any danger of commit spoiling if left ovor winter In a dry place? 3. Aro cement blocks wnrm and dry enough without any lathing and plaster? For a wall 128 feet long by 7 feet high and ono foot thick, It would tako twenty-two barrels of Portland ce mont, twenty-six yards of gravel, and seven yards of stono fillers, concrete ' mixed eight parts gravel to ono part cement. 2. Commit stored in a thoroughly dry plnco will keep ovor winter, but fresh cement Is always tho best for any kind of work. 3. For dwolllng houses it is best to strap, lath and plaster, ns tho hol low In tho blocks is not continuous, so tho walls will sweat more or loss, and bo damp. Cheap Roofing Paint. Tho choapost rooting paint Is red Iron oxldo, with boiled linseed oil for tho first coat, Hnlshod with a. second coat of raw oil. This Is a dark brown color and tho most durable of nil kinds of pulnt, as tho oil and tho Iron oxldo mako a chomlcnl comblnntlon which Is nbsorbod by tho wood or unltos with n motul roof.
