 Scarcity of Houses.
 All of the real estate men of Ensley are being besieged with requests for houses In fact. every real estate man in the city has had to turn down several inquiries for houses to rent.
 While a number of houses are being built to meet the growing demand there are many other property owners who are contemplating erecting additional houses this summer to relieve tho crowd ed condition of the town.
 1t was largely the lack of rentable houses which caused the congested con- dition of certain quarters of the town ond which forced the mayor and board of aldermen to pass an ordinance limit ing the number of persons to the house.

A traveller In the upper Tangtse prov
irces of China found In the town Of
Hlnganfu many Chinese Mohamme-
dams who keep UP communication with
their fellow religionists of Arabia A
missionary who has lived among them
for years declares that they are very
quarrelsome, much given to Boosting
Of their Turkestan origin, and, In spite
Of the prophets injunctions, drink a
great deal of wine. This Is usually the
case with Chinese Mohammedans. In
Hinganfu, and more especially In Kan
sub. a few of their spiritual teachers
keep up their knowledge of Arabic and
are occasionally visited by Arab or
central Asian mollahs, who follow the
old Arab trade route by way of Hami,
by which the Arabs originally traded
and propagated their faith These mol
labs visit every country In the east
where the followers of the prophet are
to be found and keep o. the ties of the
faithful with Islam. AS they often
stir up dissatisfaction and foment dis
turbances against the Chinese authori-
ties, the latter regard them with sus-
picion.

OF course we know that swallows
drink as they skim over the surface of
water. We have seen how here and
there the water ripples on pond
when swallows are gracefully skim
ming to and fro. One day l sat down
beside small pond where every even
ing many barn swallows came to battle
and drink on the surface of the CLASSY
water. With sketch book and pencil In
hand I closely watched the birds, and
you may imagine my delight to see just
how they managed to touch and dip up
the water as they came within a few
steps of me. You see, the swallow
takes up water In its lower bill just as
you would dip up little water in a
spoon or in the hollow of your hand
while you glided over the surface in
boat Only the under half of the open
bill touches the water. If the upper
half were also to touch, the water
would be forced out on either side In
stead of being scooped up into the bill.

Auniaue Cont Of Arms.

There was one Philadelphia who not
only invented arms for himself, but
new and republican arms, after dis
carding the ancestral arms Of his fam
lily. This was Peter Brown, at one
time an eminent citizen of Philadel-
phia. In 1874 William Priest, an Eng
lish musician became attached to the
theater in Philadelphia In his pro
fessional capacity. In 1902 Mr.. Priest
printed In London a book entitled
PRIESTS Travels In the United
States" which is now exceedingly
rare. The frontispiece to this book Is
strange and curious design, entitled
"Peter Browns Arms" In explana-
ton Of this frontispiece Mr.. Priest
says: peter Brown, blacksmith Of
this city, having made his fortune,
set up his coach, but so far from be-
ing ashamed Of the means by which
he acquired his riches he caused a
large anvil to be painted on each side
Of his carriage, with two pairs of max
ed arms in the act of striking. The
motto, BY this got ye.'"

There is lake that stores the suns
heat at Medeve, in northeastern
Pennsylvania. Thick beds of rock salt
underlie the district, and similar for
nation appears upon the surface In
mounds, some of them over 100 feet in
height Among these the lake rests
at fully 1900 feet above sea level.
Upon the surface its water Is almost
sweet, four inches below there Is a
twentieth of salt, at two feet there Is
one fifth, and at five feet the water is
practically saturated with salt In
September, after summers sunshine,
the thermometer showed the lakes
waters to be $50 degrees four feet
down. Even by April, after whole
season OF wintry weather, 1t had only
been reduced to 80 degrees. Expert
ments have proved that this is due
to absorption and retention of the suns
heat by the salt saturated solution.

Owing to it's derivation the word
green" was originally applied to the
color Of vegetation, but not to the color
OF the sea. No application of green
to the color of the sea Is quoted before
Chaucer, but as early as the year TOO
II was used for vegetation. The word
In akin to grass" and grow" which
verb originally belonged to the vegeta-
BILE world alone. Vegetables grew" "
bot animals ''waxed." Green comes
from an Aryan root, "ghahr," meaning
to be green or yellow, and yellow"
gold" and "yolk" come from that
same root.
