with a particular covotousnoss his

Mr. William A. ltadford will answer
questions nnd give advlco FUEK OP
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building for the readers of
this paper. On account of his wldo expe
rience as ISdltnr, Author and Manufnc
liiiri, ho Is, without doubt, th highest
authority on all theso subjects. Address
all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No.
1M Fifth Ave., Chicago, 111., and only cm
lose two-cent stamp for roplJ'..
One of the principal objections to
tho uso of concreto In building con
struction Is tho fact thnt tho finished
surface is rough and no attempt Is
mado to givo a finish to tho surface,
either in the molds or after their re
moval. This Is probably duo to an
Idoa that interfering with tho surface
would destroy tho skin of the concrete
and deteriorate its usefulness. i
Two methods nro now being suc
cessfully employed, giving a finish to
concreto either In molded blocks, or
monolithic construction In place. The
flr3t of these methods Is to apply fresh
granlto to tho face of tho mold, which
gives It all tho finish and durability
of granite ashlar. This finishing ma
terlal Is ground and sifted Into sev
eral sizes, several of which aro em
ployed in making tho facing mixture,
on tho samo principal as mixing ag
gregates so as to fill tho voids. Tho
best proportion Is ono of coment to
throo of aggregate of different sizes.
A small quantity of hydratcd Hmo Is
added, which on account of Its fine
ness nets as a waterproofing, llkowlso
proventlng tho block from sticking to
tho mold. Tho lDgrodlents are thor
oughly mlxpd dry. The faco of the
mold Is wiped clean and dry. A thin
layer of almost dry spar mixed with a
little cement mixed with a little
hydrated lime Is spread on the plate.
On top of this a half-inch of ordinary
mixture Is spread, thon a layer of rich
backing and finally, the ordinary block
mixture, which should be tamped hard.'
The above method is tho ono used
when a facedown concreto block ma
chine isuscd, while tho reverso proc
ess is used with a face-up machine
In this caso the grit or feldspar is
sifted dry on tho wet cement. The
spar may bo pressed into the ourfaco
by running a roller over It. After It
has set tho surface Is washed with a
solution of ono part of murlntlc acid
to eight of water to remove any stains.
Thon it Is washed with clean wntor to
romove traces of tho acid. In mono
lithic construction tho Bides of the
forms aro plastered with about a half
inch of the facing material beforo tho
filling Is plnced.
Tho second method of finishing con
crete surfaces is to give them an ash-lar-llko
appearnnco by polishing tho
surfneo with carborundum bricks and
water. This method is appllcablo to
monolithic concreto, as tho molds in
which It Is formed arc built up of
boards, which havo a tendency to
warp and aro moro or loss rough. In
this case, the lnldo of tho mold which

forms the faco of the wall Is plas
tered with n rich material. Tho con
crete which Is to form the back of tho
wall Is filled in nnd allowed to Bet
twenty-four hours. Tho molds nro re
moved and tho concroto Is rubbed
down with carborundum bricks. This
gives n boautlful polish.

houso that could bo finished In this
manner nt no very great expense Tho
concroto walls could bo carried to tho

In some places tho rodents were so
thick that you could hardly walk In

The carcasses of dead rabbits poisoned
tho air, and caused a plague of flies,
which passed from them to the sheep,
causing among them a serious dis

Panic measures were at first tried

strychnino or phosphorous, was tho
first expedient. It destroyed much of
tho native bird life, devastated tho
natural faunn, and left tho rabbit still

A great reward was then offered
by the Australian government for a
remedy. No result came, and the
rabbit still ato his way into tho heart
of tho country. But time brought
Bomo knowledge of how to deal with
him. It was reasoned out that within
a limited area the rabbit could bo
coped with.
At onco thero camo a demand for
rabbit-proof fencing, and over mllea

stretch tho net of fences. Tho best

How Sea Birds Drink.
Under the headline, Whoro Do They
Get Water? a writer In tho Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: "When
I was a cabin boy I often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands of
miles out to sea, what they did tor
frosh water When thoy wcro thirsty.
One day a squall answered that ques
tion for me. It was a hot and glitter
ing day In tho tropics, and In the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud ap
peared all of a sudden. Then out of
empty space ovor a hundred sea birds
camo darting from every direction.
Thoy got under tho rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall thoy drank their
fill. In tho tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out a
storm a long way off; thoy travel a
hundred mllos maybo to get under It,
and they swallow onough raindrops to
keep them going. Now York Trib

ITCHED SO COULD NOT SLEEP
"I suffered from tho early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severo skin eruptions
on my faco and scalp. At first I
treated It as a trivial matter. But
after having usod castlle soap, medi
cated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, etc., I found no relief what
ever. After that I diagnosed my 'case
as eczema, becauso of its dry, scaly
appearance Tho Itching and burning
of my scalp became so intense that I
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at Intervals, waking up now and then
because of tho burning and itching of
my Bkln. Having read different tes
timonials of cures by tho Cuticura
Remedies, I decided to purchnso a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days I rocognlzed a marked
change in my condition. I bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after a few days I was cntiroly
freo from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
duo to using Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment dally. Hereafter I will never
bo without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washsttnd. I highly recommend
tho Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf
fering from similar Bkln eruptions and
hopo you will publish my letter so
that othors may learn of Cuticura
Remedies nnd bo cured." (Signed)
