MIME BUILDER The Proper Construction of Chimneys Arthur O. Clenseo, Architect NO tlPTINO iff Acorn Gas Steves BOLT the first thing; that causes A. I trouble and annoyance when "T I one moves Inte their new home iv me cnimney. vtnue it wouio seem aa though the average mason through much previous ixpericnce ought to be able to build a chimney that would draw well, auch does not appear to be the case. The chimney la one of the moat Im portant details of thy home; still It Is sel dom given the sllgtteat thought by the home builder, who Wnually trusts to the knowledge ef his mason foe satisfactory results. There are a few right ways and many, many ways in which to build chim neys; also, a chimney built to meet the requirement In one Instance would some times not meet them In another instance, owing" to the Surrounding conditions being different. The first point to be considered, and one which every bomebutlder can eaally ob serve, la the location of the top ef the chimney. This should never be lest than two feet above the highest ridge on the house. It sometimes occurs that a ridge, dormer or ether prominent protrusion on the house next door la nearer or a near to the chimney as the highest point of the house on which It is built. When auch is the case It ahould be at least two feet above the highest point .On either house. When -the chimney extends more than six feet above the roof It ahould be an chored from the direction in which the Wind is fnost apt to strike It by an Iron rod securely fastened Into the rafters at one end and extending through at least the outside surface of brick on the chim ney, with a wide washer to keep it frdrn pulling out. Where It is anchored into the roof It ahould be securely flashed , with tin at the point of contact to keep the rein from following the rod In under the shingles. Anchor rods on a Chimney bever look well except when there Is a hurri cane blowing and then, like an awkward looking fire escape on a building during a fire, they look most appropriate and wel come. There la no excuae for building a chim ney In the old-faahloned way of common brick with a cement mortar lining except the false idea of economy. Mortar lining Is almost sure to become loosened In places and sometimes falls crosswise of the flue, choking the draught.' It is invariably these kind of flues which cause so many fires that have their start in the old-fashioned chimney. Vitrified tile flue linings are not expensive. There are a number ot good makes on the market, but the kinds which present a hard, glased appearance and ring like Iron when struck are the best. Theoretically, all flue lining should be round, on the principle that smoke curls, and they are Invariably made cylindrical for power plants, but there is a great dif ference between - a power plant under forced draught and the ordinary cooking rWt'fs,ryii isswjsg1 ' A , . m , mm.

Boris builders claim that a flue built too large Is worse than one built too smalt. This might be true If carried to an undue extreme, but It 'is safe to say that there art very few examples In existence of a flue being too large to demonstrate the truth of such a theory. The great troublt Is in getting them too small. A flue for an ordinary cooking atove should not be less than eight Inches 111 diameter. One flue accommodating two stores Should be at least eight Inches by twelve Inches In diameter. Heating plant flues should ant be less than twelve inches by twelve Inches. The sectional area ot the fireplace flue should be one-tenth of the area of the fireplace opening; for example, If the fire place opening IS four feet wide and two and one-half feet high, the sectional area of the opening Would be ten square feet. One-tenth of this makes the flue twelve inches square. Chimney flues should never be built upon posts, but extend to the ground .with a' good foundation tinder them either of con crete or stone, and hare at the lowest point In a flue a oast iron door and frame eight Inches by twelve inches In else from which to remove the soot when the ohlm ney Is being cleaned. Chimney flues should be Ss atralgM as possible from the point where smoke enters it to the top. When necessary to Curve the flue, which is sometimes required In carry ing a flue from the basement patt the side of a fireplace, the bend should be a long and easy one, and In no case should an abrupt turn with a -sharp angle be made In any flue.

The publlo drinking cup will be outlawed In Chicago on August , as it will be in New York on October l, the aldermen of the Windy City having passed an ordi nance giving It only ninety days of graee or disgrace. The Chicago Tribune thinks that the new regulation, which it calls the "death cup," ordinance, will be far-reaching in Ita effeets, and adds that "legal decisions on what constitutes a publlo drinking cup or glass are likely to be sought when enforcement begins. Dr. P. O. Tonney, bacteriologist of the health department. In testifying before the coun cil health committee, said a glass should be rinsed In hot water before a second usage. Although this is not in the ordi nance. It may Constitute a guiding post for prosecutions in many instanoes. A Break la Harmony. "Mother," said little Willie, who had been whipped for story-telling, "were you al ways good when you were a little girl?" "Yes, always," answered his mother. "And didn't you ever tell stories?" "No, never." "Did father ever tell them, then?" he asked, sfter a pause. "Certainly not," She replied. "Nor grandma?" "No." "Nor grandad T' ''No, of course net."
