And
what
a
convenient
implement
this
for
a
froth-house
builder
who
is
compelled
to
work
behind
her
back--mortar-feeder,
trowel,
darby,
compass,
and
level
all
in
one!
Beginning
with
the
first
touch
of
the
cement,
the
flowing
point
describes
a
very
small
half-circle
to
the
right,
again
meeting
the
bark.
It
is
now
carried
inward
and
upward,
describing
a
very
close
circle
with
scarcely
any
space
intervening,
a
similar
circle
being
repeated
on
the
left
side.
A
new
tier
is
then
begun
in
the
same
manner,
only
this
time
a
little
larger
in
the
sweep,
and
leaving
a
perceptible
opening
at
the
right
as
the
central
wall
is
carried
upward
with
slightly
decreased
material.
Returning
down
the
central
wall
again,
the
white
coil
is
carried
to
the
left
along
the
bark,
and
up
again
on
the
other
outer
edge,
until
it
once
more
meets
its
fellow
at
the
ridge-pole,
where
the
two
coils
appear
to
interlock
as
in
a
braid.
And
thus
the
little
builder
continues,
enlarging
the
cavity
with
each
circuit,
until
the
full
height
is
reached,
and
then
decreasing
proportionately
until
the
glistening
braided
dome
is
tapered
off
again
against
the
bark.
