Human Heaters.

In considering the problem of heat
ing the large department. stores which
are now to be found in nearly every
big city it is very well worth taking
into account the animal heat distributed
by the many customers who come into
such esta blishments. That this is con
siderable is evidenced by the experience
Of at least one engineer. who, in one
such case found that after 9 80 a. m
on day in midwinter. with the ther-
mometer at the freezing point, no other
heat was needed to keep the place
warm. This fact. however, emphasizes
as well the great need of a good system
of ventilation in such buildings. as
without it the air would soon become
vitiated much beyond any reasonably
permissible degree. - Casters Maga-

colony Of go or 70 English people at Te-
heran organize concerts for one ano
er's amusement There is dance NJ W
and then at the legation. and when the
weather is cold of course there is skat-
ing. Skating is the greatest marvel Of
all to the Persians. Some years ago the
late shah. Nasr-i-Din. saw 20 skaters
twirling and curling and spinning
gracefully on the ice. He was amused.
He thought it wonderful. The next day
he sent to the legation and borrowed a
dozen pairs of the skates. These he
made his ministers put on and attempt
to skate on the lake in the palace
grounds. The poor ministers were ter
ribly discomtited, but it was twice as
much as their heads were worth to re-
fuse. His majesty was more amused
than ever, and he nearly had an apo
plect:c fit from laughing.

Writing in The Contemporary Re-
view, Professor Sully discusses the curl
GUS aspects in which children regard
dolls. He says: Professor Hall has
brought to light some curious prefer
ences of children. He tells us, for ex-
ample, that, whereas out of 845 children
191 preferred wax dolls, as many as 144
pronounced in favor Of rag ones Odd
preferences are sometimes shown with
regard to size. A lady writes me that
she preferred inch halfpenny dolls
because there was SO much more to be
done with these in the way of putting
on wigs made from doormats, linking
in eyebrows, etc. On the other hand,
another English lady tells me that her
childish ambition was the possession Of
big doll-''one that would fill my
arms and take some of the cuddling
that I wanted to bestow and which no.
body seemed to want This girl image
is, SO far as the uninitiated adult can
divine, the true child's doll.

Icehouse Fires,

Curiously, an icehouse is the most
likely place in the world for a fire. In
surance rates are SO high on ice sheds as
to be almost prohibitive of any policies
being taken out. Spontaneous combus-
tion is responsible for the fires in ice
sheds, according to some authorities.
When layer Of ice is melted around
the top and sides in summer. an i'm
mense amount Of heat is set free. When
conditions are exactly favorable spon-
taneous combustion takes place. Others
believe that a zone of warmth and
moisture is created by the melting ice
and that this attracts lightning. In any
case an icehouse is beautiful place for
fire.

Dangers Of Filters.

Filters for purifying water are Of
many kinds in their mechanical struc-
ture, but, according to the report of the
Maryland state board Of health, it
would appear that such filters may
steadily lose efficiency until they be-
come first class culture beo, ior bacteria.
II evidence Of this position an s,zamr'e
cited is that Of man IN Baltimore who
sends the whole water, s-T..iv Of his
house through large litter and suhss-
quently puts his dli,lhing water through
one of the small domestic filters COM
mon in the market
A test of this arrangement showed
that on day when the city taps were
running $40 bacteria to the cubic cen
timeter the large filter was delivering
some 5000 bacteria in the same water.
When the large filter was repacked,
only 8 bacteria per centimeter got
through it, though this same water
when passed through the small filter
came out with II bacteria per cent?
meter.
This aspect of the matt.r is still fur
ther streng thened by another example.
a case where filter supposed to be the
best in the market was in use. The
effectiveness of this filter was so short
lived that the precaution was observed
of boiling the water after it was filtered.
