HOUSE FOB EACH SEASON.

James w. Davidson. United States Consul to
Formosa has written an account of a unique tribe
living on a small island adjacent to Formosa who
have a house for each season of the year-cold wet
and dry Each family possesses a splendid walled
and stone paved compound, wherein are three dis
tinct houses, attesting the cleverness Of the ma
tives and their desire to obtain the maximum of
comfort. One house. built half way under ground
is their winter residence. For the warmer weather
they have a comfortable building elevated some
feet above ground, and for protection against the
heat of summer they have a towerke edifce
sufficiently elevated TO catch tho cool breezes
These hUts serve not only habtations, but also
workshops and stCFehouses. In construction a
considerable amount of wood is used supports
and cross beams and for the inner floor, ceiling
and walls of the two large huts. The elevated
structure is of wood bamboo and straw. A shelf
projects level with the entrance. and the inhabi-
tants obliged to mount this and then crawl in
