BUILD ON ROCK
Take Warning From the Man OF Oid--se,
That Novr Foundation ~ Right.

We are all Of us familiar with the parable
Of the man who builded upon the sand.
No one nowadays would think of putting
up house OF factory on anything but a
solid foundation. Some Of the Sky.
scrapers' of New York City are set on
foundations from thirty to fifty feet below
the street.
II is as important to build your health
upon solid foundation as anything else.
Health Il happiness and is the highest pift
to mankind. Nature intended that we
should all enjoy the full fruits of health
but our surroundings are sometimes such
as 70 mar this ecstatic condition.
Those who are under baneful influences
have to help nature along. Don't make the
mistake of taking medicines that are fun
OF alcohol ana narcotics. II you do. Won
are building upon sand.
II your constitution IL weakened. il vour
lungs are not strong, II your blood Is thin,
y you are subject 20 colds, take Magee' s
Malt Emulsion. IL will build you On and
rake you strong. II contains no alcohol
Nolhing but pure cod liver oil malt
and hypophosphites entsr into ih syrupy

liver oil and malt (non-alcoholicl are the
greatest builders known to medical science.
and II you take Magee's Malt Emulsion,
you are surely building on rock. Il con

Tin Horns, Mechanical Fog Horns au'

Tin Horns, Mechanical Fog Horns a"'
7 Various Other Modern ContrivRuces.
New York sun
Tin horns, such as vendors brin.
out by the wagon load Ina the city
streets on election night, are stool
articles of sale the year around In th.
stores Of dealers i'm marine supplies.
On every boat bigger than a rowboat
a noise maker of some sort Is as neces-
sary an item of equi pment as the anchor
to give warning of the hyessel's pres
ence or approach.
Thousands of tin horns of various
sizes are annually sold TO fishermen,
| oystermen and men using boats, in
many waters, in various pursuits, and
such horns are sold, as we'll, for boats
used for pleasure. A big horn of this
kind might be heard a mile.
For larger vessels, such as schooners
sailing In open waters and not equip
ped with power with which 90 blow
| whistles, there are provided mechanical
! fog horns that can be operated by hand,
and that can be heard three or four
miles away.
With the multiplication everywhere
| within recent years of pleasure craft
there have been introduced still other
|
"a bellows horn, with the horn attached
| to the top board of "a trinity finished
bellows of oblong shape, to the top
/ board of which also is attached a
| handle. This bellows horn can be
/ put down anywhere and operated
/ simply 10y pressure. Though not as
| big as the mechanical fog horn it can
/ be heard for a considerable distance
A still smaller bellows noise maker
has in place of horn an air whistle.
Another whistle contrivance has "a
small upright metal cylinder in which
air is compressed by means of "a handle
worked like plunger. The whistle,
which may be one of single tone,
or "A chime, is attached to the outside
of the cylinder.
Still another modern noise maker
is an air blown whistle with a light
contrivance attached. When the
whistle cord is pulled the light shows
as the whistle blows. Obviously tine
light attachment is for use 40 night TO
locate the boat from which the whistle
is blowing.
4 While these later sound producers,
/ designed more especially Tor yachts
and launches and tenders and other
| pleasure craft, are rather more elabo-
rate they are used for precisely the same
purposes as the old tin horn, namely,
to give warning in case of fog, for sig
mailing in crowded waterways, for
blowing for landings or tor bridges

SUBlRRIGAflNG OF TREES.
Method Has Proved Valuable IN Several
German Cities,

1erman titleas
Baltimore American
The development Of marked senti-
ment in favor of the cultivation OF
trees along streets and in parks has
resulted from the efforts Of the civic
art movement and the Arbor Day
observations.
As streets are now commonly paved
with asphalt and other impervious
coverings, and the sidewalks of mono
lithic concrete, the proper supplying
of water to trees along city streets has
become a serious problem
The latest attempt to overcome the
difficulty is to resort to subirrigation,
a method that has been practiced with
great success in several German cities.
Iron pipes are laid 10 to 16 inches
beneath the level of the street and
to feet from the trees. Water
from street mains is turned into these
and escapes through openings left on
the upper side at proper intervals, care
being taken during the laying Of the
pipes to imbed them in a filling Of
gravel and to protect the openings
with brick or tile to prevent the Soil
from filling the openings and thus
stopping the supply.
1t is necessary, however, in estab.
fishing the grades Of such pipes to
have IN mind the fact thar, owing to
their proximity to the surface, they
have to be drained thoroughly before
freezing weather sets in in order to
avoid bursting.
1t is declared that the result of irri-
eating trees in this manner is very
OnsprVahlp H. making it-alf seo,, :.
the greater luxuriance and denser leaf
growth of the watered trees compared
with trees left to chance watering.
