SPONTANEOUS 0TOWNN o. 6afNs
A farmer in Oklahoma had a novel
experience. A few years ago be built
small barn and in it's construction
used green willow posts at the cor
ners and along the sides For some
time nothing unusual was noticed.
but after a year he saw that where
he had laid the floor near the ground
Il was three feet above the soil He
discovered that the willow posts. in.
stead OF being dead we're alive. had
taken root and were growing. In
their upward movement they had car
ried the barn along. Last spring the
barn was on stilts nine feet high. and
he put In a new floor and surrounded
the posts with siding thereby making
two-story affair. There Is now =
space Of seven inches between the
new floor and the ground and the own
er expects to have a three-story barn
IN the course Of time.

the bill of fare. What nextP
THAT'S a concession to the vege-
tarians," explained the manager. DO
YOU know, there is an increasing de-
mand for vegetarian dishes, and we
are at our wits end to know what TO.
serve. This vegetable hash is a mix
ture of potatoes, carrots, turnips, celeryI
and beets.
"Of course there is the inevitable
restaurant dish - beans, Boston anu
New York style-and there is spaghet-
ii but to keep the custom of those VINO
taboo meats we have to contrive varl-
ety for them. One new offering Is po-
tato cakes and T ed eggs. Then
your vegetarian may eat celery salad,
tomato salad, fried sweet potatoes

who will invent new vegetarian dishes

Mr.. Coyne then saw that the woman
wanted to pay the difference between

Along the valley Of the Rio Granoe

and cumbersome affair that to cas-
nal observer might readily be taken

Ioom often two weavers working side
by side. With the Navajoes the women
do all the weaving, but the higher civil
lization of the PuebIos Is shown by the
fact that the men not only weave the
rugs. but prepare, clean and spin the
wool. The natives use only hign

This is done by hand, with the aid OF

Following the washing and drying

Tho Era of the WaterfalIs.

One of the most notable things In the
rapid march of mechanical science IS
the increasing use of waterfalls for the
production OF eI, trio power. This IS
going on in all parts of the world ana
has resulted in an enormous increase
in the money value of the falls. some
one has estimated that Niagara talls'
az a producer of power, is worth 81
100000. Waterfalls are now driving
tramcars, lighting cities, running rae
tories. irrigating farms and performing
innumerable other services, often at a
distance of many miles from the source
Of power. Italy, abounding with wa
terfalls on the slopes of the Alps and
the Apennines, is among the leaders IN
this advance. In India it is proposed
to derive $4,000 horsepower from the
Doogh Sagar river, at point where lts
waters descend about $500 feet.
