An Oflice Building for Madison Avenue.

The steel frame for a 12-story office
building that is to be occupied exclusively
for the offices of a single manufacturing
firm, the H. W. Johns-Manvitle Co., is be¬
ing erected at the southwest corner of
i\ladison avenue and 41st street. The
works of the company are at South Brook¬
lyn, and this great building, containing
34,500 square feet of surface will be the
main office. Carrying out the desire of
the owners for a distinctive building, an
early Italian Gothic architecture has been
selected, a style which is rarely, if ever,
employed for edifices of this character.
■ The three lower stories are to have lime¬
stone walls and the upper stories will have
exterior walls of gray-brown Roman
brick and terra cotta, with various light-
colored marbles worked in panels. : Un¬
der the cornices are various colored mar-
tale panels in terra cotta frames. The
cornice wliich is to run entirely around
the top of the building will he of copper,
and will be accentuated by treating with
silver, gold and colors. The large win¬
dows on the lower stories will be of
bronze, and the vestibule and entrance
hall of Italian  marble.

The entire ground floor, devoted to the
retail department, will be finished entire¬
ly in marble and Caen stone, and the sof¬
fits of the beamed -ceiling will be brought
out in color from various Italian exam¬
ples. There will be a mezzanine gallery
with bronze rails and a marble stairway,
with bronze railings, leading up from the
first to the second floor. The executive
offlces will occupj' the eleventh floor, while
tlie twelfth floor will be used as a sample
and exhitaition  room.





oversight   to   the   construction  which  lie
thinks indispensable.

In most cases he treats the matter too
seriously, and is more suspicious of his
fellowman than he has any reason to be.
as "altogether too many "warnings" are
printed for the edification of homeseeliers
in the fireside weeklies. Reasonable judg¬
ment and a careful avoidance of over¬
much enthusiasm will carry one through
a btiilding or buying campaign as safely
as through any other business deal. If
you decide to buy, send an architect or
builder to examine the house before you
sign a contract, to see what quality Df
material went into its construction, if
there are places left where the wind will
whistle through next winter, if the
kitchen is too small, the veranda and
pergola unstable or the foundations too
meagre to be perfectly secure. In the ma¬
jority of cases the construction will be
found all right, but it is a satisfaction to
be sure of it. and whether you buy or
build an architect's help tis worth far
more than  his fee.





Seeing the Archilect.

No doubt it is perplexing for a young
city man unacquainted with the suburbs
in his search for a home to know just
Where to go and whether to build or buy.
The ready-built house offered on an easy
payment plan has a strong attraction for
a fellow who can't quite see his way clear
to buying a couple of acres and having
a house built for him when he is so situ¬
ated as to be unable to givs the personal





Comparative Shipments of Hardwood.

In the last leaflet published by the
Hardwood ^lanuf act urers' Association.
Secretary Doster states that his office has
been asked from many different sources
how hardwood lumber was moving during
the summer months of this year as com¬
pared with 1010. To answer this query he
has selected, off hand, twenty firms on
whose shipments he has a record for the
months of May, June and July of both
1910 and 1911. He gives a showing of
results as follows:

1010.               1911.

May    ...................¥19.683.694       §10.794.756

June   .................. 20.634,039        S0,616,525

July   .................. 12.082.995        15.011,614

.'i;53.301.22S      §55,422.895

Tills is about the same general' trade
situation tliat is reported by the majority
of lumber manufacturers and jobbers who
really have been out after business dur¬
ing the year. There should be no general
complaint about the volume of trans¬
actions in hardwood thus far during 1911.
Secretary Doster says. Prices are not
satisfactory on the coarse stock.

London's Water Supply.

The annual reports of the London
"Water Hoard and of Dr. Houston, the
Water Examiner, are interesting reading
at a time when Xew Tork City is trou¬
bled about its own water supply. With¬
out going to a far country for supplies or
undertaking any specially heroic measures
for the same purpose, London has an
abundant quantity of pure and whole¬
some water, derived from a polluted and
long-sufl:ering river. The population of
more than seven millions was supplied
last year with 31.5T gallons per head
daily, representing the aggregate volume
of 82,170 million gallons for the period
ending March Sl. Dr. Houston's report
conflrms the conclusions previouslv stated
as to the purifying effects of storage on
a iarge scale. So effective is this process
that it is practically impossible to detect
the germs of water-borne disease in raw
water which has been stored for a com¬
paratively short time. As Dr. Houston
says: "Storage is Nature's method of
sterilization without the addition of anv
sterilizing agent to the water." Beyond
this safeguard, now generally applied,
thanks to the magnificent reservoirs of
the Water Board, London has the further
puriflcatioii effected by sand filters, where
9S or 99 per cent, of the remaining organ¬
isms     are     removed.





New Jersey's Zinc Production.

The well known Mine Hill zinc mines
a.t Franklin Furnace, in Sussex County,
N. J., continued their important produc¬
tion of zinc-throughout lOiO, according
to H. D. McCaskey, of the .United States
Geological Survey, sending 308,353 tons to
the concentrating mills (producing 263,-
(JOG tons of concentrates), and 67,324
tons of crude ore to the smelters.. Fig¬
ured as m.etallic zinc, the total recov¬
erable output was 137.355,219 pounds of
spelter, valued at $7,417,182, The mines
are opened by a vertical shaft 96o feet
deep, a slope to the 600-ft. level, and a
shaft 1.500 feet deep on an inline of 47^,^
degrees.. The crushing plant has a ca¬
pacity of 2,240. net tons per 24 hours and
the separator a ■eaiiacity>,6iE 1,344 liet tons'.
