any ordinary social requirements.
There are large parlor and reception
hall which may be thrown together
and an ample dining-room back of the
hall. There is kitchen which is con-
veniently arranged to serve under or
dinary or social conditions of living.
The second floor is connected with the
first floor by two stairways-one from
the reception hall and one from
the kitchen. Not long ago everyone
thought he must have house with a
reception hall. The reception hall
idea was overworked until it became
simply large room with stairway in
it, hat rack, etc.-but certainly not a
place to receive anyone. A vestibule
is the one thing required to convert
such a hall into very desirable and
satisfactory reception room. This plan
shows how this may be done. The
vestibule is placed at the front, into
which one may enter and take off his

colonial days. 1t is natural, when one
makes plans for convenient houses, to
select those of moderate cost because
convenience in arrangement means
more to those who live in houses of
this class than to those who live in the
more expensive dwelling.
The first desirable features are a
hall, sitting-room, dining-room and
kitchen. In this class of house it is de-
sired that the kitchen have about the
same arrangement and conveniences
as in the more expensive structures.
The bathroom and pantry are also
considerable as important in the first as
in the latter. The cellar as we'll is es-
sential, even more, if comparison
must be made, than in those that cost
more.
The plan which is here given is
comfortable, economical house. 1t is
economical in matter of cost, expense
of furnishing and labor in caring for
1t. There is no waste or useless space.

To Determine n Ships Speed.

In order to determine the speed of u
ship when the displacement in tons,
length, beam and indicated horse
power are known, ship-builders and
naval architects use the following
rule; Multiply the indicated power by
a constant; call this product A. Square
the displacement in tons and find the
cube root of the result Divide pro-
duct A by this cube root; finally extract
the cube root of this last quoticnt.
This will give the speed in knots per
hour. The constant above mentioned
is 240 for ships about 400 feet long, and
ranges down to 200 for ships 200 feet
long

others in that region. Altogether he
has been in the Pacific many years.
"All through the Pacific islands," he
said, "are wonders innumerable. A
curious thing in Samoa is the brilliant
worm, about the size of vermicelli,
called the pololo. One morning early
I was asked by leading chief to go
with him and the rest of the people to
see the pololo. The strange worm is a
great delicacy, and appears on the wa
ters of the ocean but once a year. In
some phenomenal manner, by looking
at the shape of the leaves, they know
when this is.
"We set out in boats before day, and
soon the water was covered with
myriads of the red, blue, green and
vari-colored worms. The natives be-
gan scooping them up in their boats
till the bottom was deep wriggling
mass. Pretty soon the sun came up
and the instant it glinted the water
the pololo went down? The next day
they reappeared, and after that, in ac-
cordance with their curious habit, they
appeared no more for exactly year.
This is one of the wonders of the Pa
cific have never heard explained"

A novel motive, engine has been in

finely divided carbon, floating in TIE
air, readily explodes, and to adapt this
to the generation of motive power the
inventor proposes to grind coal to an
impalpable powder, and, after intro
ducing the dust floating in the air into
the cylinder of an engine, explode it,
the idea being to follow very much the
same lines which are being so thorough
ly developed in the use of gas in en-
gine practice. The first difficulty which
suggests itself is how the ash Is to be

FOR STUDENTS OF NATURE.

A SPIDERS eyes are not in his head,
but in the upper part of the thorax.
THE longest animal known to exist is
the rorqual, which averages 100 feet in
length.
IN proportion to its size, the horse
has smaller stomach than any other
quadruped.
BUsHMEN and negroes possess more
prominent and narrow chest than the
white races, whose chest is broader
and flatter.
The flea is covered with armored
plates, very hard, and overlapping
each other. Each is set with spikes and
bends in conformity with the move
ment of the body.
Dew is the greatest respecter of
colors. To prove this take pieces of
glass or boards and paint them red,
yellow, green and black. Expose them
at night, and you will find that the
yellow will be covered with moisture,
that the green will be damp, but that
the red and black will be left perfectly
dry.

FLUIDS WITH MEALS.
The Use of Water and other Liquids Is
Not Always Harmful.

The Use of Water and Other Liquids Is
Not Always Harmful.
The arguments presented by many
writer's seem to prove that the mod
crate taking of fluids with the food at
meals is not without benefit. But,
says the Youths Companion, the inn
portance of the thorough mastication
of food before it is presented to the
stomach must never be overlooked. If
this is interfered with in any way by
the use of liquids we must promptly
prohibit their indulgence.
Fluids may be taken ad libitum dur
ing meals by those whose digestive
powers will allow it, but such persons
should keep in mind that the strongest
stomach may be abused too far, while
those whose stomachs are already un-
equal to a severe strain should be es-
pecially careful as to the quantity of
huid imbibed with the food.
The saliva is the best lubricator for
the food while 1t is in the mouth, both
because of its starch-digesting powers
and because its alkalinity serves to
simulate copious flow of the acid Sc
cretion of the stomach.
Any habit, therefore, which permits
the entrance of food into the stomach
before it Is thoroughly Incorporated
with saliva must be pronounced per-
nicious in the extreme.
If we cannot afford the time neces-
sary for masticating our food properly
and Incorporating it thoroughly with
saliva it would be better to take moth.
ing but broths and similar foods. The
use of water and other liquids as lubri-
Gators is not to be tolerated.
On the other hand, If we bear in
mind the whole mechanism of diges-
tion it will readily be seen that in
cases of weakness or want of tone on
the part of the muscles of the stomach,
when every part of the food cannot be
properly presented to the action of the
digestive juices, the introduction into
the stomach of moderate amount of
water may be of no slight benefit. The
mass of food will become more pliable,
and SO more easily operated upon by
the weakened muscles.
