BOSTON'S FREMONT HOUSE.
Pamphlet Printed In 1880 Describes
What Was Then q Wonder.

A curious relic has been found recently
| In the shape of a pamphlet describing the
fremont House, probably the only copy In
| existence, which was published In 1880 by
Gray & Bowen of Boston.
1t contains "a pages and is finely Illus
trated, "A pages being devoted to cuts and
plates. Excavation was begun in June
1928, by n company incorporated by the
legislature in 1S24-5, and on the July
4th following the cornerstone was laid by
the Massachusetts, Charitable association.
The building was completed in August,
1899, and opened In October.
The dining room was heated from two
open freplaces and was regarded as very
fine apartment in those days. The read
ing room was free to guests, but small
annual subscription was required from
others. .... ssy
Rainwater was used In the kitchen
from reservoir In tho yard, and well
was also drawn upon in the belief that 1t
was inexhaustible. A cistern was placed
In fremont place. another in the cellar
and two in the attic. Lead pipes were
used and at that time were considered
wonderful, rs was also the use of mortar
in the flooring. ...
1t was considered to be extremely we'll
guarded against fire, and the staircases
were thought SO wide that inmates could
easily escape by them, no matter how
rapid the conflagration might be.
The doric portico and stained glass sky
light were tho two features in which tho
greatest pride was taken, and the descrip-
ton closes by saying that up to tho time
of writing the patronage received by the
house warranted the belief that 1t would
be beneficial as well as ornamental to the
city.

THE SKATERS PARADISE.
Holland the Country Where All the World
Skates When There Is Ice.

/ 6kBtce -" nCn Ahoho - Acos
Holland Is the paradise of skaters. In
that odd country, where up trains run
| on the down line and the COWS are tied to
tho ceiling by their tails" great many
| things go by contraries, and skating is ono
| Of them. The weary waiting for black
| frost to soiidify the waters Of deep lakes
| and trcacherous ponds, which In England
| tantalizes the possessor Of "Acmes," pro-
vents his sleeping O. nights and drives
skatemakers to suicide, Is to the Dutch
man an unknown modification.
Skating is indeed almost the only vio-
lent exercise for which the Dutchman has
any liking, and In tho winter he holds
high carnival on the ice. The number Of
skating clubs between northern Brabant
and Groningen is infinite, but it Is tho
provinces north Of the Iuyder Zee-Frics-
land and Groningen-that the best skat-
ers arc to be found. These are the clas-
steal training grounds Of tho Dutch leo art
lists.
When there is likelihood of o frost, the
only thing necessary to secure good
surface" is to open tho sluices used for
irrigation and inundate the great fiat
meadows. The operation is superintcnded
by representatives of the skating clubs In
the neighborhood. 4 place Of some 5000
or 5000 feet in cif1un.fcrencc Is staked
out around a given poiLe the water is al
lowed to flow In until it is of a convenient
deyth, and the sluices are then closed. d.
rectIy the ice Is sufficiently thick num-
Der of workmen are told off to keep Ii
clear of snow, should any fall, and to

Then begin succession Of skating COM
petitions. These competitions aro got up
by tho local skating club. Sometimes
they arc International, but clubs and in
dividuals are constantly competing among
themselves. The prizes offered on these
occasions are often of a considerable
money value, and the funds for providing
them are supplied by tho small sum
charged for admission to the skating
ground and the entrance fees paid by tho
competitors.
The competitions are usually Of three
classes-swiftness, elegance and the clear
ing of obstacles The latter is amazingly
difficult, even to experts. Yet there are In
Holland a large number of skaters who
can with ease and grace clear, in full ca
reer, the straw covered spaces intended to

According to observation by scientists,
there arc many creatures which live with
out sleep. This is the case with some
members of tho insect tribe, such as the
maylly, which only lives for limited
number of hours and spends its short
term of single days existence in flying
over the surface of some stream, never
pnusing to rest or sleep, with some fishes
and with the animalcula. These last,
which increase in division and subdivision
SO rapidly as to make their numbers al
most past belief. are in ceaseless motion.
never resting, and sleep in their case
would seem to be entirely out of the cues
ton. Fishes arc not generally supposed to
enjoy sleep, although many species do
periodically rest for about a couple of
hours at time. Experiments have shown
that the salmon. pike, goldfish and angler
fish do not sleep at all. Fishes have no
eyelids, like the higher mammalia, and
their brain is very small in proportion to
their size. Animals which have no real
brain cannot be said to enjoy true sleep.

OF automatic activity of the brain. On the
