A subterranean age, when theaters
will be built underground and the busy
hum of factories will resound from far
beneath the sidewalk. was forecast by
Engineer John NJ Even in an address
before the Mems club of st. Peters
Episcopal church. Ewen's subject was
Erecting Chicago Skyscraper." While
he pointed out that the erection Of
buildings fifty stories high is perfectly
feasible, he said 1t is also probable that
in future more attention will be paid
to digging habitable holes beneath the
street level Even declared that the
San Francisco earthquake proved the
superiority of modern fireproof steel
construction over all other methods of
building He advocated the use of
wire glass with metal frame and sash
in place of plate glass and wooden
frame and sash as a measure of fire
protection. He outlined a new method
of construction. Stated briefly, it con-
templates leaving the earth uneXcavat-
ed until the superstructure is well
along, the exact reverse of the other
method. Even said the advantage of
the method lies in the fact that it in
sures against the sinking of streets and
adjoining buildings. = San Francisco

A LAYERS Scheme

London had recently a novelty in a
breach Of promise suit or at any rate
In the evidence introduced The young
people. having arranged to get mar
ried exactly ITO weeks from their en-
gagement, kept tally Of the time by
threading no squares of cardboard on
a piece of string and taking one off
and throwing it away every Sunday
evening. This is a decided improve
ment upon the schoolboy's plan of the
number of days to the holidays, with
one day crossed out every night. Incl
dentally it may help the assessment of
damages if breach results. In this
instance ninety-nine squares had been
removed when all was over, and S625
was claimed and awarded.

Dining Room In an Apple Tree.

An ingenious family of East Aurora,
n. Y, certainly deserves honora bic
mention in a keep COOL symposium.
Close by the house Is a wide branching
apple tree, and in this, with the aid of
simple carpentry, has been constructed
a novel dining room. A roomy plat
form, easily reached by a short fight
of steps, has been built among the ap-
pie boughs and surrounded by a low
railing When the round dining table
is placed on this platform there is am
pie space for the chairs and their occu-
pants and also for the passing to and
fro of the maid. A pulley line is run
from the pantry window to one of the
apple boughs, and by this means linen,
dishes and food are trolleyed back and
forth in huge basket, thus simplify
ing and Fastening the getting and
clearing away of meals. Under the
leafy canopy with the spicy fragrance
of ripening apples everywhere meal
time becomes a delight even on the
hottest day.-Good Housekeeping.

PICTURE ON A HILL.
The Long Man Of Wilmington, Eng
land, Measures $40 Feet.

land, Measures 240 Feet.
About midway between Berwick and
Polegate stations, at point where the
side of the hill is very PERCEPTIONS, those
who know exactly the spot where to
look viii be able to sse from the rail
way carriage windows a sort of rude
imitation of the human form outlined
in white. The figure. which is between
200 and 800 feet in height, holds q long
staff in each hand. This IS the Long
Man of Wilmington" once the center
of profound veneration and worship,
but now merely an object of interest to
the curious.
In order to obtain an adequate idea
of this great hillside figure, dominating
the surrounding country and appearing
to watch as guardian over the little
village below, it is desirable to ap-
preach it afoot. tramping along the
winding lanes, as the pilgrims of old
must have tramped when they came
hitler on the occasion of some great
religious festival. Seen from afar, the
figure does not appear to be of remark
ObAC clLSs D0t 81 1N0tAetly do Oi1C
proaches the hill 1t assumes an impos-
ing and definite shape.
The figure, about 240 feet in height,
was merely shaped in the turf SO as to
allow the chair to appear through. In
the course Of time these depressions in
the surface became almost impercepti-
bic, and TO such an extent was the fig
ure neglected that at last it was only
possible to make out the form at dis
lance when the slight hollows were
marked by drifted snow or when TIE
oblique rays of the rising or setting sun
threw them into deep shadow. In or
der to preserve the form of the Long
Man, and to render it at the same time
easily distinguishable at a distance the
outline was marked by a single line of
white bricks placed closely together.
The effect has been to produce 3 some
what startling figure, which is plainly
visible in fine weather from a great
distance.
There are in different parts of the
country other examples of extremely
rude and early hillside figures, and, al
though the very fact of their great an
tiquity renders it unlikely that histor-
zeal or documentary evidence viii be
forthcoming as to their design or pre-
else purpose, it is very satisfactory t.
find that an explanation has beer
, found which will ut once account fol
many Of their peeuliarities.
The theory IS that these are sacri
fetal figures. We learn from the writ

The pe.nana Eer Alaminiu.a.

There is a great scarcity of alumini-
um in the world today The reason
given is that the automobile manufac-
turers use this metal in the machinery
Of the cars. thus inerea sing the amount
used far more than any other single
industry. The supply Of aluminium
comes from only four sources in the
world. hence the amount IS limited to
a very great extent. The chief of these
sources is represented by the Pitts
burg Reduction company at Niagara
Falls. In Great Britain there is the
British Aluminium company. whose
plant is At the Falls Of Foyers. and on
the continent Of Europe there are the
Neuhausen works IN Switzerland and

WE CAN hardly blame Maxim
Gorky for spreading his sensational
ideas in America when professors
In some of our universities educated
to a point that is abnormal, dish out
to their students such rotteness as
has recently been exposed in the case
of Prof Charles Zenben of the Uni
versity of Chicago. The professor
lectured before his class advocating
probationary marriage" or mar
riage on trial
Trustees OF the university are be-
ing told on all sides that Prof. Zu-
ben's sensational lecture marks the
point where the application of a curb
is necessary
The probationary marriage is the
only solution of the marriage and di-
vorce problems. Let a man and a
woman before marriage be constantly
IN each others society for six
months or year to get thoroughly
acquainted and learn each others
faults and folbleS.
Then there will be no more un-
happy marriages.
This was the startling proposal OF
Prof. zuben in explaining a recent
lecture to the students in which he
attacked the present day standards
of morality
The lecture was startling as the
interview above Here are some oil
the startling opinions that the pro,
lessor uttered:
There can be and are holier al
1iances without the marriage bono
than within it.
Marriages in the United States
are nothing bat property arrange
ments. Women are merely dupes fol
men under the marriage relationship
Every normal man or woman has
room for more than one person in hei
heart
Our present attitude toward mar
riage makes friendship impossible.
No clean minded person can OBJ
jeet to the nude.
Most Chieagoans have neither the
opportunity nor the desire to remove
the dirt
If such mental weaklings as Prof
zuben could be given thorough
two years course in the Kansas har-
vest fields. He is a disgrace to the
profession to which he belongs.

CHINA'S AWAKENING.
Wonderful mDroveneuts In Picking

In the Past Two Years.
A competent authority on things chi
