Cheap Lodging Houses for Poor.

Practical steps have been taken to pro-
vide cheap lodging houses for the poor in
Italy. United States Consul Brush at
Milan. who has made an official report on
the subject. says that the. Popular Hoo
tel opened in Milan in 1901, has proved
great boon to that class of people whose
means impel them to take advantage Of
the very low prices charged for meals and
washing and sleeping accommodation. The
cooperative society "a benevolent institu-
tion) which was responsible for that hotel
has now erected In Milan a dormitory
which provides lodging for the night at the
low charge of four cents, which may be
reduced later to three cents. This has ac-
commodations for $50 persons. The building
Is steam heated and Is provided with cleo
trio light and ample washing ARRANGEMENTS
both for personal abiutions and for laun-
dry work. The cost of erection, exclusive
OF land and furnishing was $500
The consul says that another benevolent
society, with purely charitable program
Is studying and working for the erection
OF night refugees. in which. without any
charge whatever. people without a home
can find shelter and warmth for the night.
The first of such refugees was opened last
year. and the benefits conferred on the
miserable poor are apparent, the con-
sui says. that 1t is hoped that other refugees
VIII soon be opened.

WATER PURIFYING APPARATUS.
Electric Current Utilized for Remov-
ing Deleterious Matter.

Electricians have tried in recent years TO
simplify the means of electric ozone devel-
opment for purifying water. with view to
having apparatus that could be put
In any dwelling place and by utilizing the
current of the common electric light wires
purify every glass of drinking water. United
States Consul General Guenther at Frank
fort, reports that Mr.. Otto. French
gineer has made an apparatus that sue
cessfully performs that service.
This apparatus says the consul gener-
al, "is OF very simple construction and
takes up little space. 1t consists princi-
pally of a small. closed box the metal
cover of which is made conductory with
the bottom. In the box is an ozone de-
veloper. an interrupter and a tin tube.
Through the latter the ozone which first
has to pass through a cotton stopper to
free it from dust and germs contained in
the air. is conducted into the water and
mixed Herewith. If much ozone has been
absorbed the water becomes phosphores-
cent in the dark The most important part
Of the apparatus Is the mixer" action of
which can be interrupted at will. The ap-
paratus is capable of purifying about sixty
gallons of water an hour. and the cost
per hour Is about the same as that of an
ordinary electric incandescent light

Faithful Mother Bird.
From the Youngstown (ohio) vindicator.


Three weeks ago a freight car came into
the yards at Chillicothes Ohio, and the rail-
road men discovered On the footrest
through which the brake protrudes at the
end, toward the top of the car, a robin
had built its nest. In the nest was one
egg The car had made a continuous trip
from Michigan and stood here day or SO
and was sent TO Ripley. Ohio. Upon its re-
turn here two eggs were in the nest 1t
was again sent to that place and returned
with three eggs. In this time the mother
bird had Matched the eggs out. ever fol-
lowing the car in its meanderings. The
railroad men had kept a strict watch upon
the nest and saw that nobody molested 1t.
Orders came to send the car to Michigan
and the men held a consultation and 1t was
decided to remove the nest to a nearby
tree 1t was carefully tied fast to the tree
with strings. the mother bird watching
the proceedings from a nearby limb. AS
soon as finished she resumed the faithful
watch of her flock. Investigation has
proved that the mother bird travelled hun
dreds of miles in following the nest from
Michigan to this part OF the country.

japanese Irises
} Garden Maya zine.

from the Gafuen MaBazne.
Little wonder that the iris, SO boldly
decorative in outline and bearing flower
OF exquisite coloring 40 marveously formed
should make Its strongest appeal to the ar
tistic Japanese. From these foremost
gardeners Of the world has come a strain Of
irises that neither orchids nor lilies can
rival in beauty of form. texture, colorins,
markings and general effectiveness. In the
Mikado's garden. under ideal cultural con-
ditions-that is to say. In rich, warm, sunny
alluvial land-the blossoms will measure
from nine to twelve inches across their
fiat petals. Around the shores Of those
miniature lakes and streams in which the
Japanese gardener. however humble, de-
lights, the irises are no less lovely because
a small garden demands that they be of
lesser size. Every one appreciates the iris
in Japan Therefore. on the most costly
cloisenne and ceramic. as well as on many
vase and jar on many a screen and fam"
whose decorator may receive only an eighth
of cent or his sketchy painting, this
flower, imperial and democratic, is the
most familiar. For the artist at least its
value Is double that of the national chrys-
anthemum.

Joseph R. Burton, Senior Senator
from Kansas was convicted for the
second time In the United States
court In st. Louis on Monday morn
ing for appearing before a govern
ment department for pay. The Stat
ute prohibiting that act was passed
in 1864 and Burton Is the first Sen.
ator ever convicted under It,, Since
then Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,
was convicted under the same Stat
ute. Burton was found guilty on
five counts and court could sentence
him to Two years in the penitentiary
and fine him $4,000 on each count.
The case will probably be taken to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Burton was accused OF ac-
cepting a fee OF $4,000 from the
Rialto-GraiD and Security company
to use his influence with the Post
office department. The Senate seat
is vacated without action OF the Sen
ate.
