'LOST ART
npIIE colonial type cottage
makes a strong appeal with
the home-builder ot average
means, where economy of funds
mast combine with comfort and
good taste. The accompanying
design unites these elements in
a pleasing design that has
proved popular with many
builders during the 1924 sea
son. - c
Treatment ot the entryway
is excellent and the two coat
closets are a convenience which
will be appreciated b y the'
housekeeper. The railing alongf
the top of the porch adds an
ornamental tuoch to the front
facade" and the two dormer
windows fit pleasingly Into the
design. Wall plantings will add
materially to the exterior ap
pearance. 1
The ground floor- Is nicely
portioned and the position of
the fireplace will compensate
In extra heat for the space oc
cupied. The living room is of
ample Blze and is well lighted.
Arrangement of the dining
room and kitchen Is ideal.
The downstairs chamber Is
large enongh for ordinary use
and its windows afford cross
ventilation. The central hall
, 'ties In all the rooms on the
ground floor and a stairway
leads to the upper story. The
upstairs bedrooms are of excel
lent dimensions and well sup
plied with light, ventilation and
closet space. '.
The sleeping porch shown In
the plan Is located directly
above the bath room and if the
owner desires this space may
be easily altered for use as an
upstairs bathroom.
Cost of this house should be
well within the means of the
average family.

Scientists Have Puzzled for
Centuries Over Works
; of Early People
Of all the much discussed "lost
arts" of antiquity, cement making
is the only one wnicn nas oeen
ediacovered In modern times.
For centuries scientistaj real
and pseudo have puzzled; over
malleable glass, which was a fjrm
of glass said to have existed in
the days of Rome's gaandeur and
which; could be bent or worked
like metals without breaking.
t-any Historians had quite- a
little to say about this substance,
lleging that it was introduced to
the court I of Nero by a Roman
who had ibeen held prisoner in
Africa. Accordkie to the account.
the ex-prjsone brought back a
glass goblet which could be tossed
abouti freely, and could be
straightened easily wherever
dented or crushed. Modern glass
makers are skeptical of the ex
istence oj such a glass at any
time, and Sail efforts to rediscover
the art of jmaking it, if there ever
was such in art, have failed com
pletely. I !
That copper was tempered to
the hadness of steel centuries ago
Is now pretty well established.
Copper chisels have been found in
Peru of ail hardness far greater
than any which it is nosslble to
impart in this day, although mod
ern metallurgists have trid (dili
gently to find a method, and in
one or two instances it has been
possible to harden the! metal
slightly. Every once in a while
someone announces the rediscov
ery of the lost art, but the jfact
that such claims are not followed
by the appearance of manufac
tured tempered copper : jon j the
market is the best disproof of the
assertions. Could copper be tem
pered to! the ; hardness of iteel
there Is no doubt that manufac
turers would utilize it for some
purposes ,in which iron and uteel
labor i' under disadvantages.' ;
The dyemasters of ancient t'yre
are asserted by historians to have
evolved a shade of purple so beau
tiful that it was eagerly sought
all over Europe and northern
Africa by nations ; which had
themselves progressed well! in the
art of dyeing. Except thatLthe
extraordisaiy shade was obtained
from clams or other mussels.
nothing is known of its manufac
ture, una an eiions 10 reproduce
it failed. With the fall of .'-Tyre
the secret was lost and has never
been brought to light. j
Cement was discovered by the
Romans, who used It extensively
for the foundations of theirl tri
umphal arches and temples. Ex
cavations': in the Forum clearly
show s on the concrete, marks of
the ancient wooden forms, much
as present day concrete shows the
an Englishman, S Joseph Aepdin,
succeeded in making a stronger
cement from materials which na
ture had not already prepared for
him.' This he called Portland ce
ment, because it resembled a dur
able building stone from the Isle
of Portland, used in building
Westminster Abbey. ;
A highly developed form - of
this early Portland cement i$ the
cement of modern commerce, so
that the secret of the ancient Ro
mans in this instance has not! only
been rediscovered but also has
been improved upon. j

purple, the art of cement making
was lost ;when Rome fell before
the Vandals, and during all the
Dark Ages and the Renaissance
the secret remained buried.
But enough information re
mained so that some time prior to
the American revolution investi
gators lnvarious parts of Europe
began to snake cement of varying
qualities in a small way. The
first nota!ble use of cement In
modern times was in the Edy-
stonej lighthouse : off the English
coast; Th?3 was in 1756. It j was
also employed in the Erie canal
