OF the courteous manners Of all Span

that the stranger is apt to consider the
Spaniards very inquisitve people. An
experience in Madrid tramcar was
enlightening in this direction. A wom-

and her husband began an animated
discussion upon the incident, and of
the dozen others in the car every one

= There Is no hour Of the day or
night which Spaniard deems inappros
pirate to the practice Of smoking" the
same writer observes. whenever he
finds time hanging heavily, which is
frequently, he lights cigarette. Time
hangs heavily on Spaniard's mind in
the brief interval between the courses
at lunch and dinner, whenever he
wakes at night, when travelling be,
tween station and hotel in an omnibus
and always when in a railway train,
regardless Of ladies. The practice Of
smoking is so universal In Spain that
railway compartments for nonsmok-
ers exist In theory only, and the habit,
combined with that Of loud talking at
all hours Of the night and morning,
makes the average Spaniard undesir-
able as travelling companion, especial
ly at night"
OF the sturdy beggars who overrun
Madrid: "The beggars usually have
some pretense for asking aims in the
shape Of a decrepit guitar or fiddle un-
der the cloak, where it remains. An
other plea Is the sale of lottery tickets,
the lottery being great institution in
Spain. Each ticket costs 8 pesetas
about 81, and beggars in absolute
rags, as often as not children, rush
about with strings of these for sale."-

SUBMERGED GUNS,
The Experiment of Firing a Cannon
Buried Under Water.

The Experiment of Firing a Cannon
Buried Under Water.
The most curious experiment ever
made with piece Of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark. On this an Armstrong gun of
the ITO pound pattern was mounted,
The gun was then loaded and carefully
aimed at target-all this, Of course,
during the time Of low tide. A few
hours later, when the gun and the tar
get were both covered with water to a
depth Of six feet, the gun was fired by
means of electricity We said "aimed
at target" but the facts are that
there were two t1rgets. but only one
was erected for this special experiment

PORTABLE VILLAGES.
Turcomans Move Their Houses From
Place to Place. -

Turcomans Move Their Houses From
Place TO Place. Il -
Ri The Turcomans, who live on the east
,ern shore of the Caspian sea, carry
their villages about with them when
they travel. Asa tribe sets out on
journey every man packs his wooden
house upon camel, which the animal
can easily carry, and when spot is
reached where he and his friends in
tend to remain for any great length of
time the camels are unloaded and
village started which it takes about an
hour or so to build.
z 1t is to be remembered that the
houses are real houses and not tents
and that the settlement is not camp,
but village. The travelling house Of
the Turcoman is marvel of skill and
ingenuity and is really much lighter,
more portable and can be packed into
a much smaller compass than any Of
the so called portable houses that are
manufactured and sold in some parts
Of our country.
The frame is made of strong, light
wood laths about an inch broad by
three-quarters of an inch thick, cross
ing each other when set up In position
at right angles about a foot apart and
fastened at each crossing by the thongs
Of rawhide so as to be movable, and
the whole framework may be opened
or shut in the same manner as those
toys for children that consist of a
squad Of wooden soldiers and will ex-
pand or close at will so as to form
open or close columns.
One part or more made in this way
and all inclosing circle fifteen or
twenty feet across form the skeleton
Of the walls and are firmly secured in
place by bands Of ropes made Of hair
or wool fastened round the end of each
rod From the upper ends of these
rods similar rods bent near the wall
and into something less than right
angle are so disposed that the longer
portions slope to the center and, being
tied with rope. form the roof.
Over this is thrown a covering OF
black felt, having in the center large
hole which answers both for window
and a chimney. Large pieces Of the
same coarse black felt are wrapped
round the walls, and outside these, tt
keep all tight, is bound another frame
Of split reeds or canes or of some very
light, tough wood bound closely togeth
er with strong cords.

weighing Common Air.

IL J 7.
The weight Of air has often been test
ed by compressing it in receptacles by
the air pump. That it really has weight
when SO compressed is shown by the
fact that the weight Of the vessels is
increased slightly by filling them with
compressed air and that such vessels
become specifically tighter as soon
as the air contained In them is ex-
hausted. Many elaborate experiments
on the weight Of air have proved that
one cubic foot weighs $50 grains, or
something less than one and d quarter
ounces. The above experiment on the
weight Of air Is supposed to be made

WHY STONE WALLS ARE DAM
Sudden Changes Of Weather Respons
hle-EaaY to Remedy.


The walls of a stone house, an
sometimes OF brick house, are COW
cred with dampness. This is due to
the very same causes by which dew Is
deposited on grasses or moisture on
the side of glass or pitcher that is
filled with ice water and brought into
warm room. The walls become cold.
and as stone is nonconductor of
heat, they remain cold for long time.
When the weather changes suddenly
from cold to warm the air becomes
filled with moisture, for the warmer
the air the more moisture it will alb
sorb. When this warm air strikes
the cold walls the moisture is depos-
tied on 1t from the air, which is sud
denly cooled by contact with them,
and as the WARM air is continually
coming in contact with the cold walls,
the dampness accumulates until 1t APP
pears like dew upon them, and pours
down in streams at times. 1t is easily
prevented. No plaster should be put
directly upon brick or stone, but fur
ring strips should be nailed to the
balls and laths put on these. Cellars
are frequently made very damp in the
same way by too much ventilation In
warm weather.
