If you v";ere without preparation or plan, rudely placed in a wilderness, your first tIhough;t would be of food supply and your next of shelter, for these are the two most vital necessi ties of mankind. It is therefore natural that the best thought, and study are put upon these two essen tials. More forward steps have been taken in the building industry. in the past fifteen years, as regards comfort, service and architectural beauty than In the fifty years previous. Only in recent years has the hand ling of cement in building work been understood properly, and progress is still constantly being made with it. Modern hotels and office buildings are being equipped with sheet metal mouldings and steel veenored doors. Nearly ' every important change in building construction is away from the fire hazard of wood. One of the most significant develop ments of recent years is the crushed slate surfaced asphalt shingle which Is, on now construction and old, rapid ly suipplant.Ing tho' wooden article.
