Sprague Lumber Company, Winnipeg—View of Horizontal Band Saw. Sprague Lumber Company, Winnipeg—View of Interior of Portion of Drying Shed. light plant, which was supplied by the Cin-.dian Gen- eral Electric Company, and the whole of their fac- tories, together with storage sheds and yards, will be well lighted, to enable the company to run a double staff of men, thus ensuring continuous working by day and .night, a condition which the company has had to face quite frequently. BRICK BOILER SETTING. Wherever it is desired to get along with the least possible consumption of coal in a steam plant, care should be taken to know that there are no cracks in the boiler setting whereby cold air can rush in where it is not wanted. It is a very good idea to provide plenty of fresh air in many places, including the furnaces of our steam boilers, but when large quantities of it are allowed to go into the side walls and thence find its way to the hot gases as they travel under a boiler, it i3 sure to prove detrimental to the service, the average boiler setting, but it is possible to close them with cement, mortar, or loose asbestos mixed with water to the consistency of stiff mortar. THE SCIENCE OF SHINGLE MAKING. Thirty-two years making shingle machinery. Truly time and results best tell the story of achievement, and a glance through the new XXXX Catalogue, just issued by Perkins & Company, the pioneer shingle machinery concern of Grand Eapids, Mich., shows a line of shingle producing machinery of every descrip- tion that is well calculated to bear out the claims of this firm for turning out the best machinery in their class, and one that fully .proves that they have re- duced the making of shingles down to a science. This new catalogue, containing what is claimed to be the most complete and comprehensive line of hand feed, single, double and ten-bloekers and other shin- gle mill machinery ever issued, plainly shows the result of their thirty-two years of concentration and man, foreman and manufacturer cf shingles, head- ing or box boards. Address the manufacturers, Perk- ins & Company, Grand Eapids, Mich. It is surprising to note the prejudice a large class of woodworkers have against the use of the emery wheel for sharpening saws, when it is a positive and established fact tha.t the cost of sharpening with emery is not one-twentieth that of the file for the same purpose, and the work can be done very much quicker. The idea that the automatic grinder is all that can be used is not well established, for in fact a man used to grinding by hand can do it quicker and quite as well. If the table is set properly, he always grinds square across, and can keep his teeth 'to even length and give them all a uniform pitch, three very essential points in the care of saws. The table, to do this, should stand parallel to the shaft, just even with the centre of it, and squarely to it. A little care with the right kind of a wheel prevents burning.
