fall and other conditions make it pos
sible this will be found the best loca-
ton, it is out of the way and the
cover serves as a we'll platform. No
force pump Is needed to fill it.
If the we'll happens to be at the
foot of hill cistern can be built
upon the side of the hill and the water
forced into it. The pipe that is used
to fill it with may also be used to
empty 1t.
In constructing cistern the first
and most important 10 the digging Of
the hole. Great care must be taken
to make 1t perfectly round and smooth.
1t is best to dig the hole nearly the
size wanted and then finish it later
when there is less danger from soil
ing the edge. The bottom should be
left as nearly level as possible; a lit.
tie lower at the outlet.
After the hole has been dug frame
must be put in to hold the soft con-
crete in place until 1t has hardened.
To make this frame dig little ditch
around in the bottom of the cistern
about six inches from the outside and
set the bottoms of the frame board
in it. A frame to hold the top Of the
boards in place can be made Of short
boards trimmed so that when the ends
are nailed together they will make
circle. Put this frame in about two
thirds Of the way up from the bottom.
When this has been well braced 1t Is
ready for the concrete.
The best brands of cement should
be used. The sand should be clean
and sharp and free from all foreign
matter. The gravel should not be
coarse; the largest stones being not
over two and one-half inches in di-
.ameter.
In mixing concrete for general use,
the following proportions are perhaps
best. One part of cement to three

Measuring Sea Depths by Electricity.

Measuring Sea Depths by Electricity.
For ascertaining the depth of the
sea without the use of the sounding
lead or other devices, the Norwegian
engineer, Berggraf, has invented a
unique method. He sends sound
waves perpendicularly into the water
and measures the time they require
to return to the surface after having
been reflected from the bottom of the
sea. The speed of the sound in wa
ter being known, the length of the
space passed through is Immediately
determined one-half of it Is the
depth Of the water. The device con-
sists of transmitter, a receiver and
timepiece. The electromagnetic
transmitter sends to the bottom of
the sea series Of deep sounds,
which, upon their return, are taken
up by the microphone. A listening
device or receive r reproduces the
sounds. Naturally, the sound Is ex-
ceedingly weak upon it's return, so
that 1t is hardly preceptible, but it is
rendered distinctly audible by the
vibration of the receiver or ear-piece
reinforced by sounding tube.

GHOST HAUNTs FRENCH HOUSE.
Alleged to Have Abode In War De-

There is a haunted house at Vim
cennes. Every night, toward dawn,
are heard mysterious noises. Some
spirit hand knocks on the partition
wall dividing a bedroom from a liv-
ing room.
This particular house forms part OF
buildings belonging to the Department
of War, in which a quantity Of mill
tary material is stored. II is situated
on the edge of the Bois de Vincennes
(the Bois de Boulogne OF the east end
of Paris). The victims Of the ghost
are worthy couple named Galichet.
the good man being one of the keep
ers of the wood.
A week ago he and his wife were
awakened by loud rappings on the
partition wall. Galichet sprang out Of
bed and went into the adjoining room,
but no creature in mortal guise could
be discovered. The phenomenon has
been repeated each night since. 1t al
ways occurs at o'clock. Friends and
neighbors have watched with Cali
chet but the spirit rapper is still as
intangible as ever.
The whole neighborhood undertakes
ghost haunts of an evening now. Even
the military authorities are concerned
to pierce the mystery and have or
dered an inquiry. A ghost court

though 1t can be modified to fit arms
also. The operation will be obvious.
The device consists of an open rec
tangular framework, within which are
suspended series of light vanes
hinged along one edge of the open
framework in such a manner as to be
susceptible of setting themselves with
the current OF water going through
them as the legs are drawn forward or
bent for the stroke. During the back
stroke or thrust the vanes will close
apu .orm a plane normal to the move
ment Of the limb. A framework of
vanes of this kind Is supported from
each limb of the swimmer, to which 1t
is secured by bands or straps, certain
portions of the frame being made
buoyant to an extent sufficient to sus-
tain the weight of the device in the
water. This constitutes the primary
element of the attachment, the form
and manner of the attachment being
modified to the requirements Of arm
and leg. To supplement the leg

WATER FOR HOUSE AND STABLE
Plan Whereby Single Well May Do
for Both.

Tor Botn.
To supply both the house and stable
with water 1t is very often necessary
to have two separate wells. If the
distance is not too great and the house
stands on higher ground, a single well
may serve for all purposes. The plan
illustrated here provides for the build
ing of a concrete reservoir around the
house well and the laying of a pipe
which will carry the water to the
stable on the lower level. To find
how much fall there is, take an ordin-
airy spirit level and place it level on
the place for the cistern, then sight
over the level to the place where the
water is to be carried. The depth of
the cistern must be governed some
what by the fall.
In the accompanying diagram it will
be seen that the cistern Is placed

THE MIcROBE OF PREJUDICE
HOW IT BITES.

Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis of New
York has committed the objectionable
sin of enacting the role of practical
Christian, by taking into her home a
little Negro girl, Christian League
Woodyear, treating her like a real hui
man being, giving her an opportunity
TO develop and expand morally and
mentally and providing the means
whereby these objects can be attained.
Christian League Woodyear's parents
very foolishly allowed themselves to
be born black, and herein they made
the mistake of their lives.
Mrs. Grannis, lovely Christian
character, moved by the Hottest i'm.
pulses and a sincere desire to do the
will of the Master, who said: Suffer
little children to come unto Me and
forbid them not, for OF such is the
kingdom Of heaven" took this little
Negro waif when 1t was only nine
months old and adopted it into her own
family, surrounding il with all the com,
forts of Christian home and assuring
it of a future which few poor little
black girls are permitted. Here she
is taught by precept and example
everything that a little girl ought to
know in order to become good and
useful woman. She Is not being raised
as servant, nor encouraged to deSpise
and ignore her own race. She is sim
ply being given chance which so few
little colored girls have to grow and
develop the latent talents which God
has implanted in the breasts of all His
children, black and white alike. Free

mind of independence, destroys the in

League Woodyear, as | have said
knows that she is member Of the
black race, but the fact that she Is
does not initiate against her in the
home OF good Mrs. Grannis, whose old
fashioned notions as to the oneness Of
the human family do not harmonic
with the modern accepted ideas OF lat
ter-day Christians, who find 1t not
dificult matter to love Jesus and Hill
black and colored children in the alb
stract. OF course, these new concepts
