RECORD AND GTJIDE. IRON AND METAL WORK. XV PR0QRES5IVE ARCHITECTS recognize the necessity of combining attractive- ness ot appearauce and minimum cost in tlie fit¬ ting up of tiie modera bathroom. For that reason they specify the 5TEEL=CLAD BATH Its general favor is proven by tlie fact of over 45,000 being now used throughout the country. STEEL-CLAD BATH CO. ot N. Y„ 447 to 453 Wast 26th Street. extended to 150,000 horse-power by con¬ structing an addition on a part of the plot left unoccupied. The power house is divided by a longi¬ tudinal wall into two parts, forming a boiler house 104 ft. wide and a generator house 96 ft. G ins. wide. The length of the building is 395 ft. on 74th st. and 41iJ ft. on 75th st. The boiler house contains a basement, two boiler floors and coal pockets located immediately under the roof. The height from the basement to the top of the monitor Is 128 ft. The basement is divided into three compart¬ ments by 'two longitudinal walls, in the central one of which are located the pumps, the ashes being handled from tht compartments on either side. The coal pocket has a capacity of 15.000 tons. There are four chimneys, each 17 ft. Inside diameter and 270 ft. high above the basement floor. Three chimneys, which are the largest of the kind in this coun¬ try, are built of "Custodis" brick, per- forated with rectangular holes about 1 in. square in the direction of the height of ■the stack, thus making the cell walls about 1 in. thick. These holes serve to bond the bricks in the nature of tenon joints by flushing the mortar Into them. The four chimneys contain no less than 30,000 cubic feet of concrete and 204,000 cubic feet of brickwork. A bridge 20 ft. wide and 12 ft. high extends from the front of the boiler house at an elevationof GO ft. above the street, to a coal and ash tower, built at the water's edge, in which Is located a coal crane. The tower contains a line of ash storage pockets extending along its length for G5 ft., from which the ashes will be dumped into barges by gravity, being guided by aprons folding up against the face of the tower when not in use. C-oncrete in Mines.—At the collieries of the John Cockerel] Co., Seraing, Belgium, concrete has been extensively used instead of brickwork for lining circular shafts, lining drifts, air passages, etc. The con¬ crete used li'a's been made entirely from bl'ast furnace slags, those from forge iron broken to SO to 50 (mm. being used as bal¬ last, wMle the mortar is made of granu¬ lated slags, hydraulic lime in the propor¬ tion oi 5 to 1 by volume and slag cement. Thes'e are incorporated in a mortar mill, but no addition of water is necessary, as tbe granulated slag contains enough. Slag cement is made of about 75 per cent, of granulated gray iron slags and 25 per cent, of slacked lime. Brooklyn IVIetal Ceiling Co.» 2S3-2S5 UKEENE AVE,, BROOKLYN, Telephone, Bedford 1426. FRED.
