The 8t. James Orphartnare at Benson Is
being wired for rlectrlo light. For a long
time the Institution was unable to get con
nection with the city electric supply, but

An Omaha contractor who keeps a
weather eye on statistics And prophesies as
to the future declares that the home of ths
future will be built of cement, brick, stone
or some other substance, but not of wood.
"This country Is extravagant In Ita uae of
lumber as It Is extravagant In the use of
everything else," says this man. "Statis
tics show that every yfar each Inhabitant
of the Vnlted Btatea uses about six times
as much lumber" aa he ought to use. The
forests of this country produce only about
ten cubic feet of lumber per sore per an
num. To keep up with the demand they
ought to be producing at least thirty cubic
feet. .
Beveral of the timber areas of the coun
try have reached and passed their period
greatest production. Now the northwest
itea ar.d the southern states are at the
.ed of lumber production, but they are
also being drained aa fast Se aaws and axes
rand armies of wen can cut the trees.
"Crops of good timber are not of rapid
growth and the man who looks at the lum
ber Question must remem,ber the genera
tions that are to come. He must not be like
that ielflsh Individual who pompously de
manded. "What has posterity done for us?'
The average age of trees felled for lumber
Is 150 - years. Therefore a ' man planting
trees now for lumber could not hope .for a
trop until his children' children were middle-aged
men.
"In other countries the timber supply Is
guarded and the growing trees are nurtured
for the generations that are to come. Some
such arrangement must be made for the
coming generations In America If we are to
have even wood for the most necessary pur
poses. "As In 'Europe, the trend here will soon
be to build with the more permanent and.
Jn view of the present prohibitive price of
lumber, the less expensive materials,
namely, cement and brick and stone."

Building Record For May
Building forMay makes a pretty good
showing. During the month permits were
taken out In forty-one leading cities, ac
cording to official reports to Construction
News, for 15.M5 buildings, Involving a total
cost of U,903.0CS, against 14,100 buildings,
aggregating In cost $60,601,106 for the corre
sponding month a year ago, an Increase of
fl buildings and tt.-M6.904, or I per cent
This Increase Is In spite of the fact that In

PAINTING THE NEW HOUSE
as ' 8aaeaable "aasreatlnns for
Palatlaa Ifew Hoases Beat
Time Method.
At this season of the year a good many
new houses are being started, or are under
way and one of the first questions naturally
that come up I th kind of paint that Is
to be used. Right here It I well to at at
that If there Is any necessity for economy,
it should not b exercised en the first coat.
It la Just as bad to us cheap or Inferior
material for the priming or foundation
coat a It would be to attempt to build a
substantial houea or a foundstlon wall of
poor stone of crumbling brick, laid up In
mortar that lacks adhesive properties. In
the first place, the priming, or foundation
coat, must be made of an elastic material
that will expand and contract with th
wood surface to which the paint 1 ap
plied and that will not hare a tendency to
crack or scale away frgm th surface. It
must be mad from a pigment that ha
been ground so fine that th particle
will enter Into th por of th wood and
get a grip there, In th same manner that
plaster la held to the laths apon which It
is spread, by entering between them end
clinching behind them. Mixed paint, be-'
tng composed largely of line white, which
ha a tendency to dry to a bard and some
what brittle paint film, should not be used
as a priming, because ft Is not sufficiently
elastic, and will perish by cracking away
from the surface, leaving the bare wood
exposed. Neither is ochre a safe paint to
use for priming. It 1 true that large
quantities of cheap ochre are sold under
th nam of "priming ochre," but they
almost Invariably fall to give satisfaction.
Aa a rut these are majle from an Inferior
grade of native ochre, and to still further
cheapen them, are largely adulterated with
barytes. This latter materlsl possesses
little or no pigment value, but Is used be
cause of Its cheapness. Its weight and Its
nonabsorbent properties,' which make It
possible to mix a large quantity of paint
containing a good percentage of barytes
with a' very small proportion of
oil. With oil at H cents a pound
and barytes costing 1H cents, the economy
to the manufacturer In using a large pro
portion of barytes In any paint sold by
weight Is soon apparent. Even were the
ochre pure. Its value as a primary paint Is
very small because, 11k all clay, It la an
absorbent of moisture, and after th oil
begin to perish by oxidation,' th ochre
take up moisture, wMeh softens and des
troys the paint film. On houses originally
primed with ochre, after a second or third
painting, there Is often exhibited marked
tendency In the upper coatings to peel off
down to the old ochre priming; and the
only way this can b corrected 1 by
burning off all the old paint and starting
afresh. Mineral brown, which 1 an oxide
or Iron paint capable of being ground very
fine, would make an excellent priming coat
but for th fact that Its color
la objectionable for use under light
tints, since It takes so many coats to
cover It well enough to hide the strong
dark reddish brown of this pigment Its
wearing qualities are seen upon freight
cars, barns and other structures where this
pigment Is extensively employed.
The Ideal priming paint I pure white lead
ground In linseed oil, and thinned with lin
seed oil, with enough turpentine to cause
a greater penetration Into the pore ft the
wood and sufficient Japan drier to dry or
oxidise within a reasonable length of time
k to avoid the danger from sudden
shower. 1 Where the lumber I soft and
spongy a little or no turpentine Is needed.
but where th lumber I hard or close
grained, about four or Ave gallons of raw
linseed oil, one gallon of turpentine, and
from one-half pint to on pint of th best
quality of Japan drier (according to th
weather conditions) will be about th proper
proportions for mixing 100 pound of white
lead priming. The lead should be emptied
Into a large tub and broken UP thor
oughly as possible by means of a wooden
paddle, with a portion of the Unseed oil.
The kog from which the lead was taken
should be scraped out as much as posstbl
and thoroughly rinsed out with th turpen
tine before the latter 1 added to the paint
This avoids any wasted lead. The balance
of the oil and the drier ar then addsr.
and th whols mass la thoroughly stirred
to Incorporate the Ingredients. It I ad
visable to add about one-eighth to one-
quarter of a pound of pur lamp black In
ofl to the partially broken up lead, before
putting In the balance of the oil, In ordor
to bring the mass to a lead color. This
will cover up discoloration In the wood
and make it possible to produce a better
Job with two or three costs of paint than
if pure white were used for priming. If
warm colors are to be used, about a quar
ter of a pound of umber may be used In
stead of the lamp black.
Many carpenter insist that th Dainter
shall prime the woodwork aa soon a It
is erected. They seem to think that this
Is necessary In order to prevent the wood
from splitting. As a matter of fact, much
better result are obtained by allowing the
work to stand for some time before It I
primed. No barm whatever can com to
th house If a brush la not touched to It
until after the. plastering has been fin
ished, and It will be a benefit, rather than
otherwise, for the mojsture from the damp
piasier win nave a tendency to cause
blistering of the paint But far more Im
portant Is the fact that very little lumber
on the market today la thoroughly sea
soned. In the old day of rafted lumber
the sap acids wsre soaked out of th wood
and painting might b don at ono. Now
th lumber. If seasoned at all, la merely
Mln dried and thes acids are left In th
wood, to be liberated by the moisture
from the plsster. The acids affect the
paint destructively and the paint perlahea
prematurely. Far better to wait until ths
rain has had a chance to beat upon th
lumber and soak the ssp acids out of It
Th boards may become discolored, but
ths paint will bide the darkened wood and
will cling to It much longer.
No painting should be done while the
surfsce is damp from rain or dsw, but the
boards should be perfectly dry. Negle.'t
of this will cause peeling or blistering.
Sufficient time should be allowed between
coats of paint to permit the under coat
to bocom thoroughly dry nd hard before
applying the subsequent coata At least
a week should be allowed. If possible.
For economy's sako many persona
specify two coat of paint Thl is really
not sufficient for new work. Three coat
of paint put on fairly stout and ' well
brushed out to form a thin coating, will
far outlast the same quantity of paint
applied to the surface In two heavy -coata
and will afford a greater measure of pro
tection. But as the labor cost will be 10
per cent greater for the three coats than
for two and as labor form the larger
part of the cost of painting, many persona
Insist upon two-coat work. Tb us of a
la&d colored priming coat, made from
white lead tinted with lamp blac. aa men-
Uoned above, will enable very fair work to
be don with two coata, better by far than
If tooth coat ar of th asm eolor.
The question of what shall be used for
the final coat will depend very much upon
th ability of th palaur to mix color.
The old-fashioned painter, who served
four years' apprenticeship and learned tb
trad from A to B, not only wss tsught
how to spread paint and bow to adapt hi
paint to th nature of th surface to b
coated and to the weather conditions, but
he ws taught how to produce different
shade and tint by th combination of
th various colors that are usually em
ployed In house painting. Although color
manufacturers offer a large number of
different color, the houss painter, as a
rule, employ only a few of them to ob
tain the results that he desires. In addition
to the white base which Is usually white
lead, although some bouse painters add
from 10 to 26 per cent of sine white on the
finishing coat The tinting colors mostly
Used are lamp black, burnt and raw umber,
burnt and raw sienna, Indian rod, Vene
tian red, ochre chrome yellow and chrome
green. Tuscan red and bronse green are
used In the pure color, thinned with lin
seed oil and Japan drier for painting sash
and blinds. From these colors the experi
enced painter can produce almost any
shad he desire.
In many place It Is difficult to obtain
painters who hav served an old-fashioned
apprenticeship and learned the art of color
mixing, and In these localities the use of
mixed paints necessarily prevails. A mix
ture of pure white lesd and linseed on,
when kept for any length of time In a
can, will grow "fatty" and unfit for uss. (j
Hence, all mixed paint ar made with
a slno whit base. Some of them contain
white lead (lead carbonate) or sublimed
lead (oxy-sulphat of lead), while other
make contain no white lead at all. Paint
manufacturer hav given very careful
study to th problem of producing a paint
which will remain for a long time In good
condition In a sealed package; which will
cover well and wear well and which will
possess the merit of being ready for use
when opened and stirred to thoroughly In
corporate the pigment that may have
settled at the bottom of the can with the
liquid or vehicle. Many of the high class
mixed paints on the market will undoubt
edly give good satisfaction when used over
a priming coat of white lead but to ob
tain the best results they should not be
used as a first coat on the bare wood.
Their only disadvantage is their tendency
to perish by cracking of- peeling, making
them more difficult and expensive to re
paint than a paint which perishes by
chalking or powdering. Some of the
mixed paints, however, very nearly ap
proach the Ideal and are very satisfactory
lnv every way. But lt must be understood
that, these paints command a good price.
Cheap paints are dear at any price, be
cause, they are almost Invariably over
loaded with cheap extenders of doubtful
pigment value, while the linseed oil and
tuipentlne, which they should contain, are
frequently replaced by water and benzine.
But given a good grade of mixed paint
and a careful painter, who will use plenty
of "elbow grease" and 'brush the paint out
well, there la no reason at all why satis
factory results cannot be obtained.
Ono thing must not be forgotten. There
are certain shades which for some little
understood reason are deficient In covering
power and which should not be chosen for
two-coat work. Among those are the
tints of lemon yellow and ivory white of a
certain tone. While a light buff made
with ochre will cover perfectly, a tint' of
lemon chrome yellow of about the same
depth will be very unsatisfactory. These
are things which experience must. In a
measure, determine. ,
In applying the paint, the round or oval
"alv-naurht" or "Dound" brush Is much
to ba preferred to the flat or wall brush.
It I true that the latter ha largely dis
placed the former, because the work can
be done with more speed, but the bristles
