TEMPORARY HOUSES.
Them to the Costly Structures He
Used for Many Years.

I started Is years ago with a we'll
bmlt poultry house, which, while com
Portable in winter, was too hot in sum-
mer. 1t finally became infested with
vermin, which l could not keep rid of.
| finally built sheds of poles and old
hay, and have used them with the best
results. These sheds are made 25X10o
feet and ten feet high, with poles set
in the ground six to eight feet apart.
Use poles for the top pieces, put cross
wise. Fence wire is stapled on top of
the cross pieces lengthwise, about IA
inches apart.
About two feet of old hay is put on
and tar paper laid evenly over the hay,
with the ends projecting on the north
about five feet. SiX-foot small-mesh
poultry netting is put on the sides all
around the shed, and before stapling
to place the wire is set in the ground
about eight inches to keep out rats.
Poles are then set about three feet
from the sides all around the shed,
with the exception of the south side,
and a few strands of wire tackled to
them to keep the sides in place. When
the hay is put in it is tramped well un-
til it is built up to the paper and the
projecting laps laid over.
When cold weather sets in the south
side of the shed is covered with heavy

In which it is placed. 1T consists of
metallic case containing a charge
of pyrotechnic compound similar to
Bengal light, and surmounted by a
small igniting fuse. The whole is
made water-tight, and is arranged to
be put in position on cornice or
other prominent part of the build
ing. The fuse is connected through
thermostats with battery, so that a
high temperature in the vicinity of
one of the thermostats closes the cir
cult, explodes the igniting charge and
lights the slow-burning compound,
which gives a brilliant light, and this
attracts the attention of people in

which is sufficient to irrigate 500 acres
of trees or 200 acres of alfalfa. BY the
use of the sun motor the item of fuel
is entirely done away with. Steam is
raised on sunshiny days by turning
the mirror frame until the proper
focus is obtained on the boiler. The
supply of water in the boiler and the
working of the machinery are ar
ranged automatically, so that little
human labor is needed in connection
with its use. The most immediate and
important use of the new motor is ex-
Pected to be the furnishing of sup
ply of water for irrigating the sandy
deserts of the southwest, where the
sun shines brightly for more than 70
per cent. of the days and fuel is almost
impossible to obtain.

on one of these spots in particular it
disappears at once, while the neigh

lydue to the fact that the phenomenon
is produced only in regions of the

vary the size of the squares and of

the phenomenon would disappear.

MONSTER SOLAR MOTOR.
Heat of the Sun Utilized to Run the
Engine of an Irrigation Plant
in California.

The first sun motor to be put to a
practical everyday use is believed to
be that recently installed at Pasadena,
Cal. Its principle is as old as man. Its
application is new. BY means of
huge construction of mirrors, resem-
bling an inverted umbrella on large
scale, the heat of the suns rays is con-
centrated on long cylindrical boiler,
which without the application of any
other heat furnishes sufficient steam
for the running of ten horsepower
engine. The engine is at work pump

The greatest drawback to the bust

duck and Stats nailed over the duck.
For entrance a flap is left and board
tackled to the duck endwise. Loops of
leather or wire are stapled to the board
to draw taut. This will give the build
ing plenty of light and will answer
better than window glass. During the
warm months the duck is removed and
put away for future use. The sides on
the north are also removed for ventila-
tion. In the fall new sheds and runs
are erected upon a new location, the
poles removed, the old pile of hay
burned and the ground plowed for a
garden for the next season.
During the winter when the wealth
er requires it these sheds are heated
with steam from two old steam cook
ers in a greenhouse, which is located
about the center of this row of sheds.
Two-inch pipe is laid through the
sheds upon blocks of wood in trench
20 inches deep. 1t is covered with
boards and then dirt. The pipes
through the shed are not covered. with
the exception of Stats over the trench.
The steam does not return to the
greenhouse, but is let out at the end
of the last building. I breed fancy

The black, yellow and white locusts
are merely varieties or forms of the
same species, Robinia pseudacacia
The black and yellow forms are con-
sidered most resistant and are usual
ly found in the driest places. If
seeds or suckers can be had from
these dark and dense-wooded types
they would naturally be preferred
for planting. All varieties of the
common locust are attacked by bor-

FUNERAL TROLLEY CAR.
Baltimore street Railway Compnnies
Have Had One Built at Consid-
cradle Expense.

Baltimore has a number of fine
suburban cemeteries, all of which are
reached by some division of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in few crossovers they
could take car from any part of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
1t was, therefore, decided to offer cars
for transportation of funeral parties,
says the Street Railway Review. The
company built a special car well adapt
ed for the purpose. The car is di-
vided into two compartments, the
smaller of which has running it's full
length another compartment or Vault
in which the casliet is carried. 4
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When a casket is
to be placed in the car, the shelf is
drawn out, the casket lifted upon it.,
and the shelf is then pushed back in
place. The larger compartment has
IL cross seats in the center aisle. piv-
ing seating capacity of "a; the small
er compartment has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the inn
mediate family of the deceased. Floral
contributions are piled upon the top
of the vault, and can be seen from
the street. The car is finished inside
and out with black enamel with nickel
plated fixtures. The car has been
named Dolores" meaning sorrow,
and it is rented at from 500 to S25 for

WASHDAY WISDOM.

A very hot iron should never be used
for fiannelS or wOOlenS.
CalicOes, ginghams and chintzes
should be irOned Oh the wrong side.
Clotheslines are made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and irOned with very hot
and very heavy IRON.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come redhot, as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
EmbrOideries should be froned on a
thin. smooth surface over thick flannel
and. only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use Of a little refined borax in
the water instead Of using a washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined to
fade should be soaked and rinsed in
very salt water, to set the color, before
washing in the sudS.
Silken fabrics, especially white silk
handkerchiefs, should not be damp
ened, but ironed with a moderately
warm iron when taken from the line.

He was very frank in his talk, and one
thing which he said is shreWd enough
to be worth quoting.

there is promise in a painters work,
