Building Comlitious in Canada are such as to make the use of shingles for rooting houses, stables, etc., al- most universal. Their general use, in an un}_11‘a'.)tected. condition, adds considerably to the ordinary fire risk, as well as to the conllaaration haz- ard, and, consequently, increases the insurance rate 011 the buildings con- cerned. To overcome 'this disadvan- tage, numerous ii‘ivestigations and ex- periments have been and are still be- ing made with the object of discover- ing a material the application of. which will render the shingle root fireproof, or, failing this, to secure a process of treatment of shingles whereby they may be included in the category of slow-burning structural material. Thus, it has been demon- strated that the use of a good qual- ity of linseed oil carrying a suitable pigment will materially reduce the hazard. By the application of paint, the shingles are protected from the weather. thus preventing wax ping and the formation of pockets in which hot Cinders may lodge; irregularities gin the surface are also filed up by g the paint. The Use of Paint Grcafly Reduces Experiments have demonstrated that, under a one-minute exposure to flame, painted shingles are badly at- tacked. Under a three-minute test, the unpainted shingles were severely burned while the effect upon'the painted ones was such that the actual burning was limited to the portion directly “exposed to the flame, the paint retarding the spread of the fire and the charring of. the wood. In the absence of any positive fireproof- ing material, the results obtained from the use of paint upon eXposed shingles may be considered one of the best means of reducing the fire risk on shingle-roofed buildings. A young lady in Chicago wrote too a friend in a Canadian public library recently for a list of ten of the best works of fiction she had read during the last year. The recipient of the letter, a young lady well known for her ready wit, sent the following list: “The Truth About Germany: Facts About the War,” by Dr. von Beth- mann-Hollweg, and other Teutonic romancists; “The Secrets of the Ger- man War Oflfice,” a fine piece of im- aginative writing by Dr. Karl Graves; “England as Germany’s Vassal,” a fairy tale by Von'Bernhardi; “The Fatherland," running serially in New York; “The Vital Issue," also pub- lished serially in New York; “On to Paris via.

The Canadian Pacific Railroad has added to its staff a “scout,” whose duty it will be to travel over the sys- tem and discover those employes who are especially worthy of advancement.
