THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO, PA. nr ...Wi I (1 III Queer Errors That Have Hap uvil in House BuiLling. OWNER HAYS THE PRICE A.i Ainateur't Protest Shown In Hit Ovn Qtnlyti Stalri Too Steep to Climb Down and a Fireplace With a Wooden Beam In th Line of the flames. 0;i one of the hillu of Westchester, thTo U slowing rising a structure of LuyUi'rious and uuusual ugltuettti. It lo lour stories high aud la surmount cd on one end by a square superstruc ture which look like an enormous red Lrlck packing box. Vlowcd from the lruiu ihlu building has all tho grace ful liii's aud picturesque boauty of a ciu.f l boat. Its latorlal view looks Kl.e a Boctton of a cigar factory on Avenue A, says the New York Sun. l..t puiposo ts not in the loast sug t fted by its upiicuranco. It is a vuniiiicr roisldcncu. The owner of this house designed It hlnixelf. There could bo no doubt or thi'.i after one view. A child nilKht l avf designed It on a slate at school, bluce its proportions are exactly of tho kind that youthful scholars uraw with a slate pencil and write under it "A liouse." It would clear up matter ir tl-.o owner should paint on one of n red brick walls "A House." "I've got an architect." no Bald the ether day. "Of courso I have. I i,;..'t recall the number now for 1 Lever go near hira. , "And let aio tell you, young mau," r.e added emphatically, that ia the only way to have an architect. For g"t his number and don't go near him nt any rate until your house is built." Such Is the advice of the man who Is prejudiced, ugainut the profession and haa put up the loft building oa t!,,. hilltop as his everlasting protest ai;;iiU8t the architect. A reporter triad i (hid out what tho architect uiliit Lave done to lose favor. "I'll tell you what an architect Old t me," Bald a woman who inuat weigh 30 in spite of her shortness, "and you can understand why I should oe pr-'J'idlced againHt them. I wauteu t:y house built with a broad room oa t'je second floor. They said I could L.ive that although It might make it Lcct'ssary to have the stairs a little B'oep, as there was only a certain rparo on which to build. I did not ob ject to that and the men went to work on that understanding. "I was too stout to go prowling r.rnund climbing up and down the ladder.--, but my daughter watched the progress of tho house. She is slight and spry, and could of course go about any where without difficulty. The h'ji'h-e was finished in fact before 1 v. i'-.t Into it, having come wick from Kurope just the day after It was finally furnished. "Why in the world are those, stairs so uteep?" I asked of my daughter. "Oh, that's on account of the large f!: awing room," she Bald. 'They're all ri.ilit.' ' Well, I gut up them with difficulty. It was like, walking up tue side of a house. That was nothing, however, to the surprise I experienced when 1 started to come down. I stopped ray-s-lf with horror aud looked over the preeipico iney had built. With my sue it would have been impossible to have got to the bottom. The steps looked lik little shelves about two inches wide. I ran to the telephone and the architect bad somebody there within an boar. " 'You see how Impossible It Is,' 1 bald. 'Nothing could induce me to lake my life la my bauds by trying to go down thou steps. You will have to change them or realize that you have made me a prisoner for lire ou the second story. I would not try those steps for anything." "He said it had been expressly un derstood that the stairs were to bo narrow and steep for the sake of morn room on the second floor. It never could have been understood about any BUirs, however, that they were to bo too steep for tho woman who owned tliera to go up and down. The car !"?itprs arrived the next day and be to change the angle. They work id for three weeks putting In the new Bti'.lrs. Then I had to pay an extra J'joO for the changes that mnde It pos sible for me to use my stairway." "That was not daugerous," said a :nuii who heard tho recital of this mistake, "but think of the peril that a man put ute into. Aiy house was finished and looked all right. We moved In late in tho spring and ev erything went swimmingly until the autumn came. Then it was time to build a 9re. There was a large open chimney place in tho drawing room and we decided to try 1t. The first attempt brought a cloud of smoke which we could not account for, al though It filled tho room to suffoca tion. "We found that the architects who l't-lU the house had left across the I'luwney at ti distance of about six feet above the fireplace a thick wood en beam. Naturally as the heat of the hie ascended the ean began to Ignite t'ud emoke. The large flreS mat I In tended to uso in winter would prob acy have nut lire to it within a short time after tne big fire was lit. Well, you can Imagine that I expressed my, opluloa freoly to that architect.

Unless something is done la this matter we shall soon sue the ad of our lumber resources, with the very worst results uot only to the nuui Industries which dwpend upon wood as the chief Biawrlul but upou cllnaatx and productive ness as welL Never before has there been such wanton waste of timber as we of America are guilty of today. We are outtlng down three times as much as wo are growing, using six times us much wood per capita as is used In Europe. After the East ern and Western States had wasted their valuable forest wealth It was thought that the South, which hud the bulk of the remaining merchan table lumber, would be more careful and sparing; but exporience soouia to go for nothing In this matter, and tho South is to-day cutting down its pine, oak and cypress as rapidly as Michigan did. In the tweuty-tdx years up to 1007 the fourteen Soutfc ernStates produced 235.147,000,000 foot of lumber, or nearly one-third of tho total. To-day the South has reached its maximum of production, and if It continues at its present fig ure it will soon be as troeleus as por tions of the Kaut. At present about ono-Jlf,th of the total forest area it Btlll embraced in notional forests; tho other four-fifths have already passed into private bauds. Tho question is now aa to tho preservation of theso lands and tho extension of Fodoral and State ownership and control so aa to save such of our forests as remain, public sentiment is unquestionably with the Prokldent in this matter.
