PIPING FRESH AIR TO CITIES.

The piping of fresh air to clties IS no longer dream of scientists. u has been practically tried, In an eX- perimental way, in the crowded WhitechapeI district of London, ull- der the supervision of Dr. T. U. Lyon. one of London's most emi- nent scientists. The air IS sucked into pipes by powerful suction pumps from some high elevation where the sanitary conditions are perfect and forced into large storage tanks similar to gas tanks. When stored in these tanks under pressure, the pure air is distributed in pipes leading into different houses.
 The air can be distributed through pipes upward of 90 to loo miles in length without losing any ot its purity. By opening a switch the customer gets his daily supply ot fresh air in his rooms, while the foul air IS allowed to escape through withdrawal ducts.
 When once installed in a city, the supply of pure mountain ozone can be supplied at little cost, and the scientists estimate that in the con- gested quarters of London 50 per cent. of the ordinary sickness could be moderated if not entirely elim- mated. Sunday Magazine.

Sweet Sixteen Entertains.

A delightful afternoon was spent
by eighteen Of the girl friends OF
Miss Lula Richardson at her home
on Saturday, March 10th. it being
the sixteenth anniversary of her
birth. Violets, the special flower
OF those born under March skies,
were used with white carnations
for decoration, the color scheme
being further carried out in violet
and with festoons. Many amuse-
ments were planned, one of much
interest to maids who take delight
in the mysteries of fate was the
drawing OF small envelopes from
dainty basket, each Of which held
the picture and prophecy OF the
fortune of the recipient containing
sly illusions to the special young
men in whom the fair maids were
supposed to be interested, and as
it may seem, there were not enough
boys to go around and one girl
drew the fateful slip which con-
demned her to life ofsingle bless
edness. Another interesting feature
was the Romance of the Civil
war" told by familiar Airs upon
the piano. Two Of the girls tied
for the prize, q lovely box OF bon.

around and the guests requested to
order from the bill Of fare the items
they would most enjoy. Nearly
every one ordered "What we ali

big strong onion. Some of the other
items were, What you need, Salt.

one needs, force. In the swim,

ting Of the birth day cake took
place, amid much solemnity, as it
was known to contain magical
coin which betokened wealth to
the one who cut the piece contain
ing it, ring which foretold early
marriage, and darning needle for

freshments Of ice cream and cake
were then served and sll departed
wishing the fair hostess "many
happy returns of the day"
