"A home should reflect the personality
of the owner," said a locnl architect.
"There Is too much of a tendency to fall
In with the various styles of architecture,
regardless of whether they are suited to
the persons who live In them. When I say
the house ought to refloet the personality
of the owner I. of course, mean It should
reflect the personality of the pwtpl living
In It. A dainty llttfr house with plenty
of 'gingerbread' l.n't suitable for a bin
husky couple or for the cottage of a
farmer. It Is more suited to a poet, musi
cian or Some such person. On the other
hand a house built of rock and with all
Its lines firm, solid and bulkv. Is not fitting
for a musician or artist, but rather for a
successful man of business, an engineer
or some such person. A big house on the
Moorish lines, with broad porches and
overhanging homelike eaves is most fitting
for a family in which there are many
children."

"People today seem to have a rage for
old-fashioned furniture," raid a local
dealer. "But they have not the knowledge
' to distinguish between the genuine and the
many clever imitations which are being
made to meet the demand. For example,
take coriir cabinets. We had some genuine
cabinets of this kind, but they had solid
doors. Nearly everybody wants a cabinet
with glass doors, and the manufacturers
of old-style furniture which la sent out to
masquerade as the genuine have put such
doors on the cabinets. As a matter of fact,
the old cabinets were manufactured with
solid duors. Thos cabinets are the genuine
and yet thi people won't buy them."

The creation of four handaome houses
out. of no other materials than aand and
vttiiienl has been accomplished at the cor
ner of Nineteenth and Clark streets. The
process of building them has been rather
slower than that of erecting the ordinary
house, but the results accomplished have
proven Entirely satisfactory to the build
ers. The cost, too, has been remarkably
low. A shanty was erected on the site and
the artitlclal stone was made right there,
set out to dry, and as soon as It was hard
enough was placed on the walls. By plac
ing the sti ne m the right place it was
necessary to move It only once In the
proceja of conversion from raw material
to a place in the wall. The making of
the stone was begun while tlie excavating
was being dune. Wien this was com
pleted and walled up with solid cement,
th first stone was "ripe" and ready to be
put In place. The manufacture continued
then from day to day about as rapidly as
the store could be placed, thus keeping the
supply Just right.
An Omaha contractor expresses the be
lief that there will be a large Increase in
the amount of brick used for building pur
poses In homes n?xt year. His reanons
for this belief are the fait that brick Is
plentiful now and the price is low. It is
true that the supply of cement is also good,
but this has been put to so great use, and
there Is so great a nVrr.aml -fur it from all
directions, that he lielieves there will be
a reversion to brick. l'.rl k can be placed

Origin and Use of Portland Cement I
Portland cement, as ordinarily classified,
Is cf three kinds, vii. : 1, true Portland
cement; 2, slag cement; 3, natural cemnt.
The Association of Grman Portland
Manufacturers has given a definition of
Portland cement In a practical manner, as
follows: ' Portland cement Is only such an
article as Is, made by calcining a thorough
mixture, consisting essentially of cal
careous and clayey substances, and then
grinding same to the fineness of flour."
This means that true Portland cements
are obtained by burning to the point of
Incipient vitrification either hydraulic lime
stones or mixtures of argillaceous lime
stones and afterward grinding the product
to a fine powder.
For example. Atlas cement Is made of
cement rock and llmstone at North Hamp
ton, Ta. Buckeye cement Is made of Mary
land clay at Bellefontalne, O. Iehlgh ce
ment is made of marl and limestone at
Mitchell. Ind., and In Lehigh Valley, Pa.
These materials are mixed In a definite
absolute proportion, and all the cement
mills have chemists In charge of labora
tories, who determine the proportions of
the materials that are being used from
day to day, and thereby mafntaln a stand
ard of cement as nearly as possible of the
perfect mixture.
Tie following Is given as being a typical
analysis of a good commercial Portland
cement:
Slllcan, 21 per cent to 24 per cent.
Alumina, A per cent to S per cent.
Oxide of Iron, 2 per cent to 4 per cent.
Lime. 57 per cent to 6u per cent.
Magnesia, 1 per cent to 4 per cent.
Pulphiirie acid. 1 per rent b J per cent.
Water and carbolic acid, 1 per cent to S
per cent.
The second kind of cement mentioned
above, namely, slag cement. Is sometimes
called Puxzolan cement, and It has been
defined as a product obtained by Intimately
and mechanically mixing without subse
quent calcination powdered hydrates of
lime with natural or artificial materials,
which generally do not harden under water
when alone, but do so when mixed with
hydrates of lime; the materials mentioned
which are mixed with the hydrates of lime
being, in the case we have under consider
ation, furnace sing.
Tills cement resembles Portland In its
properties, but It Is more like natural
cement. It Is not as perfect or true a
cement and is not suitable for use In air
nor In sea water, but when mixed properly
works well In fresh water. It Is not as
reliable as true Portland cement and Is not
used to any extent In building operations.
Natural cement, as its name Implies, is
made of the materials as they occur In
nature without any dally laboratory ascer
taining and fixing of proportion.
As may be expected, as materials are
taken directly from the ground, burned
and ground Into a cement, the cement Itself
will vary as the rock varies In nature, so
that the natural cement Is not as reliable,
although some very good results can be
obtained with It.
In 1790 Joseph Parker Introduced a
cement as nearly like modern Portland
cement as any used In those days, which
ha made by burning lumps of chalky clay
stones, finely pulverized the clinker, and
called It "Roman cement" because Its Color
was very similar to ttiat oT" the "lavas In
the vicinity of Rome. After a few years'
Investigation and repeated experiments
under Parker's process, qualities of pulver
ised limestone were mixed with clay In
certain combining proportions calcined In
kilns and ground very line. This made a
cement which was called "Portland" by
Joseph Apsdln, a brick mason of Leeds,
England, who manufactured and named It
because of Its close resemblance In color
to the Portland sandstone, from quarries
In the English channel, out of which St.
Paul's cathedral, the Kddystone lighthouse
of Smeaton and other prominent struc
tures of England were built. In the fall of
1821, Apsdln, the Inventor, obtained a pat
ent royal for his hydraulic mixture. Many
experiments were made about this time by
English and French engineers in producing
a cementing material that was expected to
command the attention of the builders; but
no permanent results' were obtained by
tht-m.
It was reserved for a German chemist, In
1S2S. to formulate the first theory of the
action of Ingredients and their proper
combining properties to make a true Port
land cement, since which time valuable
material could be depended upon.
Other pioneer Investigators entered the
field for a quarter of a century afterward,
and each trial resulted In an Improvement
on the production, till an excellent quality
was established, and a commendable stand
ard attained between 1ST.5 and lfli. It was
not until 1a that anv considerable quan
tity of Portland cement was made for the
general market In England and on the
perfectly private, nothing being visible ta
passersby on the street.
The reception hall Is floored with tile,
which is quite fitting to a hall located as
this one, though it would not be suitable
for an .ordinary reception hall. The space
behind the reception Jiiall Is for the laundry
and the furnace room. At the rear there
is an an away for lighting and ventilation.
This is w&lled up and surmounted by an
Iron railing on the level of the ground. The
cellar Is, therefore, thoroughly well lighted.

continent, and but very little for exporta
tion. From this date up to UTS Increasing
amounts of foreign "Portland" were
brought to the I'nlted States and con
stituted the greater portions of such ce
ment used In this country by the archi
tects and engineers. About this decade,
to lv0, a domestic product began to
come Into competition with the Imported
article, and has now almost displaced the
foreign manufacture.
Pavid O. Saylor mas the first manufac
turer of Portland cement In the I'nlted
States, at Copley, ra . about the year 172.
Two processes, known as the wet and
dry. are used In mixing of the materials
for Portland cement, the material first
being crushed In either case and then
thoroughly mixed, after which they are
then ground to extreme fineness, thereby
becoming thoroughly mixed. It Is then
ready to pass through the kiln, which Is
nearly always at the present time of a
rotary nature and consist!) of a steel
cylinder five feet to six feet In diameter
and about sixty feet In length.
The cylinder Is lined with fire bri k and
slightly Inclined and revolves slowly. The
raw material Is fed In at one end. sub
jected to great heat, and Is discharged
from the lower end of the kiln as a clinker,
and Is then ready to pass to the final
grinding, which rroduces cement as used
In a commercial way.
The manufacture of Portland cement, the
proper manipulation and mixing of mate
rials and the testing of the product, have
now reached a very advanced stage, and
has been reduced to as much of a science
as any other building material we have.
Cement should be ground very fine In order
to secure the best results.
When cement Is ready to be used and is
mixed with a sufficient amount of water
to bring It to a paste. It soon loses Its
plastic nature and finally reaches a point
where it can not any longer be handled
without producing a rupture.
This change cf condition Is known as
setting and may he considered as separate
from hardening of th mixture. Setting
usually takes place within a few hours.
whll hardening Is continued for months
and vents. The time of setting Is again
divided Into the time of Initial setting and
final sett'ng. The time of the setting of
cement depends upon the time of year
largely, setting more slowly In cold weather
than in warm. The Initial setting gen
erally takes place In thirty minutes to an
hour and final setting within four or five
Hours.
Developing test for tensile strength of
neat cement Is for: Twenty-four hours,
3V); seven days. (&9; twenty-eight days, 7W;
three months, 79;'; six months, 709; one
year, 6.
The growth of the Industry of cement
manufacturing Is simply marvelous as
statistics tell us that In 1SS2 the total out
put of Portland cement was 82.O0O barrels.
At this time reinforced concrete was un
known, and the value of Portland cement
conrrete as a structural material was not
dreamed of. Natural cement had the
field, and concrete, where It was used at
all, was confined almost wh d'y to feuritIon
and underground work. The output of
Portland cement In periods of five years are
as follows: 1SS5. 15O.0H0 barrels; 1VJ0, 333,000
barrels: 19B, 9SO.000 barrels; 1900, 8,4oO,Oi)0
barrels: 190fi. 38.000,000 barrels.
In 1S97 and 1S9S there came a great short
age In structural steel. Deliveries were so
uncertain and remote that . engineers the
country over, were at their wits' end to
find ways and means for fulfilling their
designs, and they turned at once to rein
forced concrete to help them out of their
dilemma. European systems of reinforced
concrete were Introduced and engineers
generally began to study the subject from
a scientific standpoint, with the result that
by the year 1V0 the steel concrete struc
ture was recognized generally as a struc
tural posslbllty. and its adoption was con
sidered for every conceivable kind of
problem.
At this period the production of Port
land cement In this country had reached
8,450.000 barrels per annum. In the suc
ceeding fie years, however, the popularity
of concrete and the confidence of the public
In Its properties were demonstrated In a
most astonishing manner, for the produc
tion of Portland cement sprang form 8.
450.000 barrels in 1'JyO to ;.um,oeo barrels in
J9ou.
The total production of all kinds of
hydraulic cement in 19"6. Including Port
land, natura' rock and Puzzolan cement,
was 50,027,321 barrels, valued at 154,015.713.
Of this total 45.610.822 barrels were Portland,
valued at Kl.2W.K2. Three million nine
hundred and thirty-five thousand two hun
dred and seventy-five barrels were natural
rock, valued at S2.362.140. And 4M.224 bar
rels were Puzzolan cement, valued at
S412.921.

TIMELY REAL ESTATE TALK
Prices on Omaha Lots Are Now Low
Enough,
NO BREAK IN VALUES EXPECTED
Dealers Give Reasons (or Thinking
that the Price of It Hal Estate
la Not Golnar Any
Lower.
Will Omaha real estate depreciate In
value after the financial flurry and cause a
loss to buyers or will those who Intend to
buy be able to secure property for less
money? This Is the question which score
are asking real estate dealers. But there
seems to be no possibility of Omaha real
estate going a cent lower than It Is at
present. On the other hand the tendency
is for a steady advance.
Asked concerning the maintenance of
prices, ten out of a dozen are confident
that no decline is likely In Omaha property,
as it is as low now in many Instances as
It was in ISMti aial 1WT, and In manv In
stances the prices quoted on unimproved
lots are less than twenty years ago. Few
lots were offered in Omaha than fori ess
than J70O and the JI.OIK) lot was the average.
Lots in additions not as desirable In pro
portion to the size of the city, sold readily
fir J1.000 to 12,000 and the lot under $700
was out In the woods. or far up the river,
Some of the prices quoted by real estate
dealers In The Ree In November, lKt, are
as follows: Lots In Sunnyside, J1.JC0; south
front lot in Capitol hill, tfi.ooi); fine lots In
llanscom place, $1,060 to $:.5o0; lot In Hill
side No. 1. on Davenport street, $2,8uO; lots
In Bartlett s addition. $1,300; lots, Shull's
addition. $1.8u0; McCandlish place, $2,000; on
Virginia avenue." $1,200, and Twenty-fourth
and Burt streets, half a lot, $1,000.
Then the bottom fell out of everything,
as it were, and prices on Otnaha real estate
fell below the actual value and remained
down for a number of years. The present
prices have been reached by steady growth.
I do not see any possibility of real estate
declining." said Harry (J. Jordan, secre
tary and treasurer of the Byron Reed com
pany. "The prices have advanced steadily
ami have not readied an abnormal level.
Almost any foot of real estate offered for
sale in Omaha is worth the price asked.
There Is no Inflation."
Compared with prices of real estate In
other cities, of even smaller size than
Omaha, the prices asked for lots here are
low. Real estate prices in Sioux City, only
about a third the size of Omaha, are higher
in proportion than prices in Omaha. Morn
tnnside is one of the popular suburbs of
Sioux City. It Ih three miles and a half
from the city and residents have never
been able to see anything better than a
twvnty-niinute car service. Lots In Morn

With the pro and con discussed by two
abje bankers, the real estate men will
adopt resolutions of some kind Wednes
day. The question of postal savings banks
Is vital to them, and the vote on the reso
lutions will be as though it settled the
question finally.
"The argument that poBtal savings banks
are a good thing for England does not
make them good for America," said A. P.
Tukey, discussing the probability of fa
vorable resolutions being passed Wednes
day. "There are different conditions In
England with regard to the needs of mort
gage money. While buyers of real estate
In the United States need to secure loans
and the buying and selling of property
constitutes a large and growing business,
there is no such a profession as "real e
taters' In England, and the need for mort
gage loans Is small. The land of England
belongs to estates. It Is leased for terms
of fifty years and loans on farms are
not needed as they are in the United
States. I believe the postal savings banks
would kill the real estate business of the
country when they secured 75 per cent of
the savings deposits of the country, as
they have In Canada' and the United King
dom." Among the sales of the week which have
attracted attention was that of J. C. Kins
ler, who sold to Fred Harris his seven and
one-half-acre tract in Benson. The deal was
made by the O'Keefe Real Estate company.
Mr. Harris will convert the tract into a
fruit farm and will erect a new home on
It next spring. The consideration men
tioned was $500 per acre.
A tract of seven and one-half acres a
half mile from the Benson car line was
sold by George & Co. to Edward Harrison
for $2,000. The property belonged to John
P. Beattle. George & Co. has also sold a
lot between Forty-first and Forty-second
street on Burt, which belonged to the
Misses Butterfleld, to Dr. H. W. Wallace,
who will build a fine residence on It as
soon as possible. The same firm has sold
to George B. Patterson of the Pacific Ex
press company a lot at Fifty-first and Un
derwood avenue, Dundee. Mr. Patterson
lias started a new heme on the lot.
