The Best Kind of Fire Protection Fireproof construction is better fire protection to a building than any amount of fire in­ surance.. By covering buildings with J-M ASBESTOS ROOFING the best possible protection from Bra is obtained at no extra cost. It has the highest fire-resisting properties, because of a fireproof, indestructible mineral—Asbestos. No other roofing on the market offers such protection as J=1VI ASBESTOS ROOFING as other ready roofings are made of wool felt, rag stock, paper, shoddy, coal tar and other highly inflammable materials which are an actual menace to a building instead of a pro­ tection. J-M ASBESTOS ROOFING is the "cheapest-per-year" Roofing, because it requires no coating or painting to preserve it. The first cost is the only expense It resists fire, rot, rust and wear, and is the only permanently durable prepared roofing-. Adapted to all climates and weather conditions.

EXPONENTS OF PROGRESS

MINING ENGINEERS A special train of Pullman cars will leave Chicago September 16 containing delegates to the Spokane meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. The party will be en route about a month, covering some 6,000 miles with five days at Spokane, where the business of the Institute will be transacted and the usual professional papers presented. This will undoubtedly prove to be the finest trip ever taken by this body of pro­ fessional men, for it will include six days in Yellowstone Park, two days each at Butte, Anaconda, Tacoma, Portland and Pueblo; and special sessions at the Alas­ ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition and side trips covering several days at Salt Lake City. The train carrying the members and their guests will be sidetracked at all places visited and the sleepers and din­ ing cars will be at the service of the party during the entire trip.

A New Burglar Alarm A Dresden engineer has invented a simple appliance for giving warning of attempted burglary or forcible entry into premises. It has been thoroughly tested by the police authorities of Dresden and Berlin and the most experienced criminal experts have been unable to find flaws in the apparatus, or to enter into the protected premises without starting the alarm. The appliance itself is very simple, con­ sisting of a curtain or portiere, wired with fine conductors. At certain places on the curtain are fixed small metal knobs, which are connected with the wire con­ ductors. The curtain is then drawn across the window or door, or around the safe, and the slightest disturbance of its po­ sition immediately breaks the circuit, as the metal knobs are thrown out of con­ tact with each other. Should the burglar notice the wires and cut one or several thereof, the break­ ing of the circuit would also start the alarm. Any other attempt to destroy the protecting curtain would also be no­ ticed. Any curtain, unless made of fire­ American Pile Driving Co. proof material, would also act as a fire alarm. The alarm itself may consist of Tile Driving a series of bells, lights, or other electrical "Bridge and Concrete Worfc appliances.
