Ita iucroa-:od u.se has created demands npon the manu- faotiirera for forms adaptat)le not only to wooden framing and stud¬ ding, hut to iron studding as well. On this point Moaars. Schrat- wieser & Moss, proprietors of the York Metal Lath Worka, which are at Nos. 110 to 114 Navy atreet, Brooklyn, reeeutly said: "In addi¬ tion to applying our lath on wood, we nrc now eonatrncting parti¬ tions entirely ot iron ; that ia to say. the fnrrowing and studding consist of angle, channel and tee iron, with York Metal Lath laced to same. This class of work we phiater on both aidea of partition, making a solid slab of iron and plaster. Itis manifest that it would be almost imposaible to injure auch ajpartition by fire. We have recoLtly set up at onr works .several ditt'ereut kinds of parti¬ tions, some on wood and some nn iron, aa object leaaons ou what can he aceompli^ilu-d with York Metal Lath, and to which we invite tbe attention ol architects, builders and othera interested in sound conatruction.

They can be built 1 '-j, 2 or 3 inches thick. In plastering this class of work we always rocommeiid a good plaatcr or gauged mrular aa it makes the sfrountst wall.
