A Life Time Without Repairs 
Asbestos “ Century ” Shingles will Outlive the Building 
without either Paint or Repairs 
Exposed to the action of the atmosphere and elements for a short period, the 
hydration and subsequent erystallization which takes place, converts Asbestos 
Century ” Shingles into absolutely impermeable roof coverings, which, as 
such, defy all changes of climates, and thus become greatly superior to other 
forms of roofing.

and each member must be a specialist 
in some department of research allied 
to the general purposes of the society. 
The library contains nearly 50,000 vol¬ 
umes in various languages and relating 
chiefly to Spanish history and literature; 
while the museum is stocked with 
curiosities illustrating the arts and crafts 
of the Spaniards. Here are to be seen 
gold coins of the Moorish kings and 
specimens of Hispano-Mauresque lustre- 
ware in finer and more abundant display 
than can be found elsewhere, except in a 
few European museums. The “Revue 
Hispanique,” a quarterly valuable to 
students of Spanish subjects, is pub¬ 
lished in Paris by the Hispanic Society. 
The work of this organization not only 
promotes the cause of culture, but tends 
to knit closer the ties connecting us with 
the republics toward the South .—The

“Art and Service in Wrought Iron ” 
is the title of an attractive illustrated 
catalogue issued by the Anchor Post 
Iron Works, New York. It contains 
illustrations and descriptions of gates, 
railings, fences, enclosures for game, 
poultry, dog kennels and paddocks 
which the company have erected. 
Next to the house itself the gateway 
is usually the most prominent feature of 
a country place. It gives the first im¬ 
pression to a visitor or guest, and should 
be in good taste and well made for this 
reason if for no other. 
Any one contemplating the erecting 
of gateways or fences will do well to 
secure a copy of this catalogue. 
THE GREAT ROADS OF PERU 
T)ERHAPS the earliest road on 
record is that mentioned by 
Herodotus as having been constructed 
by Cheops, the Egyptian King, in order 
that stones might be dragged along it for 
his pyramid. In the opinion of the 
Greek traveller the work of making the 
road was as great as that of building the 
pyramid, for it took ten years to con¬ 
struct, and it was composed of polished 
stones with figures carved on them. 
But this does not compare in magnitude 
with the highways constructed by the 
Peruvians, while mediaeval Europe was 
still In a state of semi-barbarous dis¬ 
organization. The two principal roads 
in Peru ran from Quito in the north, to
