Odd Recurrence of Digits.

"The most remarkable arrangement
of numbers that | know Of" said q
local business college man who takes
a delight in solving curious problems
and digging up mathematical oddities,
lis the combination of the six figures
of 1887 Multiply this number by
2 and the answer is S5,714, by and
the answer is 428,571, by and the an,
swer is 571 ,428, by 5 and the answer
is 714,2S5 by and the answer Ia
857,142. Each answer contains ex.
actly the same digits as the original
sum, and, to cap the climax, multi
ply the number by Z and UP comes the
answer 999. 999."

at all necessary to do all of the things
he may do. The excavation of a els
tern should be carefully made, with
the sides shaved down regularly. 1t
should be deep and of ample size. A
circular cistern six feet in diameter
and twelve feet deep will hold little
over one hundred barrels and this
ditional foot in depth increases the
capacity about eight and one-half bar
rels. A cistern ten feet in diameter
and twenty feet deep will hold about
four hundred and seventy-ive barrels.
In some localities the soil is of such
character that the cement plaster is
applied directly to the soil. While
many cisterns thus constructed are
satisfactory. more are faulty.
The safe plan is first to lay in &C.
ment mortar a brick bottom disk
shaped, so as to give extra strength.
On top of this a brick wall should be
laid up in cement mortar with enough
lime in it to make it work smoothly,
and the space between the bricks and
dirt should be filled solid with this
mortar. The arch should be laid up
in cement mortar and the neck of the
cistern should be long enough to per
nit of considerable filing in with soil
both for drainage and insulation from
heat The inlet and overflow pipes
provided with screens to keep out
insects should be cemented in at the
proper height in the neck of the els
tern. These pipes should be of glazed
tile of the same size as the downspout
from the roof. The entire interior OF
the cistern should be plastered with q
heavy coat Of cement mortar well
worked down and after setting this
should be brushed with cement and
water so as to fill the pores and give a
smooth surface. Only fresh Portland
cement should be used.
The illustration shows how the over
flow pipe can be extended to the bot
tom and thus serve to carry off the
sediment that accumulates.-Mo

PHENOMENA OF DREAMlAND.
Scientists Explanation Of the Visions

of Sleep.
A scientist explains some Of the
strange phenomena of dreams by say
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory" He takes the
falling through space" dream and
points out that after suffering the
mental agony of falling the sleeper
escapes the shock of the actual stop
ping. The explanation is that the fall
ing sensations have been transmitted
from remote ancestors who were for
tunate enough to save themselves,
after falling from great heights in
tree tops, by clutching the branches,
The molecular changes in the cere-
bral cells due to the shock Of stop
ping could not be transmitted, be-
cause victims falling to the bottom
would be killed. In a similar manner,
by reverting to the habits of animals
which existed centuries ago, the
same investigator finds an explanation
for the mental state experienced by
individuals in various dreams-the
pursuing monster" dream. the rep
tile and vermin" dream, color dreams,
suffocation dreams, flying dreams and

HOW TO CONSTRUCT A cIsTERN.
Simpss Points Which Are Well Worth
Remen1berjno

A cistern, properly constructed and
cared for, furnishes means of proyid-
ing pure water for human use, just as
we'll constructed and properly protect
ed ponds furnish a good source of wa
ter for stock purposes. In the nature
of the case a cistern will be located
near the kitchen and often will not
be considered until after the house
is built 1t is of much advantage to
have the cistern where it will be
in the shade either of trees or build
ines, but it is important that 1t may
be easily cleaned and for this reason
it is not desirable that it should be
under the house. 1t is convenient to
have the pump on the porch and where
so located the cover of the cistern
should be tight, but removable and
may form a part of the porch floor.
