everything else connected with the house
may find its way. The basement laundry
Is altogether cooler, pleasanter and gener-
ally more satisfactory than one on the first
floor. 1t is pleasant place to can fruit in
the summer or to dc other work of SINH
lar character. Such laundry is arranged
with n small stove for heating water, a
sink, as mentioned before, and the pumps
for well or cisteru water, or with city water
connection. In rainy weather the clothes
can be dried in the basement.
The second floor has four rooms over the
four rooms below and bathroom and rear
bedroom over the kitchen and porch.
Each of these bedrooms is provided with
sufficient wall space for bedroom furni-
ture. In each there is closet, and an ad-
ditional one is placed in the hall for bed
linen. There is a stairway to the attic in
which there is large, square room, plas-

altogether very pleasant place. Build

ranged house contributes to the enjoyment
and satisfaction of all who live in it. With

If cut between the 9Th and 10th Of May;
roots to depth Of four feet even in un-
favorable soils, and for silage hay or to
plow down for green manure compares
well under favorable conditions with
any leguminous crop.
In comparison with ordinary red clover
its most marked peculiarities are (D its
ability to flourish on relatively poor
soils; (2) its development during the fall,
winter and spring. Growing at time
of the year when most of our foul weeds
are in seed, it escapes one danger and,
provided with an unusually well devel-
oped root system, it finds sufficient food
when the red clover would be on half
rations. AS it grows when wheat and
even rye seem dormant, it cannot be
seeded with winter grain. One or the
other crop would be destroyed. AS it is
in blossom on or about May it can be
used for many other purposes than those
usually served by red clover, particular
ly for soiling and for plowing down in
place Of rye.
European writers mention five varie-
ties of this clover differing essentially
from each other in their relative powers
to withstand winter weather. 1t is said
the Delaware type Of scarlet clover has
stood low temperatures when seeded
upon any proper soil in that state.

week in June it can be expected to ma

spring it renews its growth, in part at
least, and natures at the usual time. A
May sowing attempted once at the sta

the following fall, but no blossoms ap-
peared, and the plants were destroyed
during the winter by a fungus harbored
under the excessive forage. 1t is rank

invention which combines electricity and

By speaking into a photophone transmit

diaphragm rejecting a ray of light, the
ray of light itself is set into rapid vibra-
tions and photograph is made of the

most wonderful part of the whole story.
If the image Of the Photographic tracing

emitted from the tube of the receiver and
may be heard as plainly as if uttered by a
