with ample provision for filing in con-
venient and accessible fashion all the
current newspapers of Importance.
In the center of the building proper
will be the main library room or
stack room, which will be fitted up
with shelves for the accommodation
of $4,000 volumes. These will be ar
ranged and indexed by the latest sys-
tenn of library arrangement known.
On the other side of this and to the
left as one enters the building will be
a resting and waiting room for ladies
and children. This will be cOmmOdious

long by about Is feet in width. Di-
rectly back of this and opening off the
main stack room will be reading
room for the use of those who do not
care to take books away. This will be
II feet from floor to ceiling and will
be finished in tasteful and elegant
style.
In the basement there will be sew
eral large rooms whose use has not
yet been determined, but will be pro-
vided for future use. A club room lex

16x13. The boiler room which will
hold the large hot water heater will be
16x9 feet in size
The main part of the basement will
be taken up by a large room 2Sx29 feet
in size for which use will be decided
upon later. Ample provision has been
made in the basement for the growth of
the library so that it will not become
crowded as the city grows and the
number of books and newspapers in
creases.

They attempt to hide beneath the
leaves or in the stems, but the light
penetrates all, dislodging or destroy

are so destructive to insect life that
a course of electric therapeutics is now
used instead of poisonous sprays in
laboratories to clean the plants.
Atmospheric electricity changes the
color of plants and flowers. Likewise
artificially applied electricity produces
greater depths of cOlors, intensifying
them so that their brilliancy is some
times phenomenal No flowers ever
yielded such deep crimson as those
which have been regularly forced by
electric therapeutics. The blue of
flowers is not so easily intensified as
the red and crimson. yellow is made
richer and more attractive. and purple
is inclined to a darker hue. vroIet

The cOoring of flowers artiticially

The Worlds Oldest Coin,

That money, in the form Of coin,
should be a comparatively recent in.
yention, IL we may use the word,
seems too odd to be true. But we are
reminded Of the fact by the news sent
from Turkey in Asia that a German
archaeologist has just obtained The
oldest coin in existence, which only
dates from the ninth century before
the Christian era.
1t was from the mint, il the express.
sion may be used of such an early
date, Of an Aramean king of Schamoi.
This oldest known coin is, We believe,
about twelve centuries older than The
oldest existing book. But coins, being
made Of precious metal, are enormous.
~ durable. Some of the earliest and
best coins Of the Mediterranean basin
are those Of the old Greek colony OF
CzyZicus, on the Hellespont, and prob
ably the oldest existing piece Of metal
work Of which the date is known is
the tripod, made to celebrate the vic.
tory Of Plataea by the Greeks over
the Persians. The golden ball which
it supported is gone. But the tripod
itself, designed to initiate twisted ser.
penis, is still kept in the mosque Of
st. Sophia at COnstantinople.

Polite Children of East Bolivia.

who recently returned from a journey
into the rubber districts Of East b.

America, visited town In the very

it required horseback ride Of three
days to get to it, There he found two

man was drunk when the traveller ar.
