LIVING IN A MAGIC HOUSE.

A citizen of Troyes has constructed
a house for himself which Is the won

Is accomplished by means of cleo rici-

part Of the house and garden and such

that it looks as II he had almost solved
the domestic servant problem.
A telephone connects every part Of
the premises with the garden gate. AS

given his name the master welcomes
him through the telephone and the gate
opens, and again closes when the visit

fore he Is aware of it, magic brushes

sometimes be carried to excess. There

But several pieces of furniture, some

Upper HaIf only 1. READ


Did you ever think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only the
upper halves Of the letters. The lower
halves are in many cases only the
stems, the remainders Of ornamental
fourishes which have been gradually
reduced in size and length and are now
meaningless.
"Take, for instance, the heading of
a paper. Cover up with blank sheet
the lower half of the letters and even
If you did not know what they were
you would have no difficulty in reading
the words. Now reverse the process
and cover the upper half and If you
did not know the words 1t would be
impossible to make out the letters.

the case of the Roman letters used for

PAPER RUINED By GERMS.
Microbes Spot the Surface and Al
Last Wreck the Fabric.

Microbes Spot the Surface and at
Last Wreck the Fabric.
Germany has been looking into the
question why paper does not last for
ever and has come to the conclusion
that Its decay is largely due to bac-
teria. They not only injure the tex
ture but destroy the color.
The brownish spots which appear in
old books and which are known to Eng
lish bibliophiles as foxing are really
due to the bacterium prodigorum. This
tiny destroyer Is especially fond Of
starchy media and its propagation ia
promoted by damp. 1t has long been
known that damp produced foxing, but
the share of the microbe in the opera
tion has not been suspected.
Then there Is the tiny fungus, or
mold, pendulum glamour. 1t Is re-
sponsible for gray and black marks
upon old papers and in spotting the
surface 1t helps to break down the
fabric and hasten its destruction.
There are many other microscopic
enemies Of paper and they abound
chiefly in those which are glazed with
gelatin. Given little moisture and a
little heat and these will multiply In
the surface Of picture or, diploma
on highly finished paper just as they
would In the culture tube Of a biolo-
gist.
Several methods of fighting these
bacteria are proposed. One Is to SUBJ
stitute for animal glue In finishing
fine paper glazes made from rosin.
These, 1t Is said, give equally good
results and totally defy the invasion
of microbes. 1t Is also proposed to
introduce chemical agents in the man.

be fatal to microbes. This, however,

TWO PICTURES.

An old farmhouse, with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about
And wishes his one thought all day:
"Oh, II I could but fly away
From this dull spot, the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy l should bel"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day long:
"Oh, could l only tread once more
The feld-path to the farmhouse door,
The old, green meadow could / see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy l should bel"
