.eason that It is capable of finer ad'

breeding is a proper supply OF FRESH

ton is controlled by opening % vari-
able extent the lateral slides fixed at
the top OF the apparatus. II should be
remembered that ventilation plays the
role OF maintaining the life Of the
GERM. While an ample supply OF fresh
air, therefore, is extremely valuable
for the development Of the germ. any
excess of ventilation will prove detri-
mental; in fact, the surplus air viii
exert a drying action on the con>ents
of the eggs. In this incubator the
matter of ventilation and heating IS

HAVE SURPLUS OF FURNITURE.
Writer Cri,ieises Modern Methods OF
House Adornment.

Most people have far too much fur
niture in their houses, and certainly
the majority indulge in toe much tex
tile fabric. Too many curtains, too
many antimacassars, too many mats
and cushions, says writer in Good
Health. All these things collect and
hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh
air and sunshine. Carpets. especially
in the rooms we sleep In. would
abolish.
The bedroom carpet Is a snare, ana
the sooner it makes its final exit the
better for the family health. That
great artist and critic, William Nor
ris, once said: Have nothing in your
house that you do not know to be use
full or believe to be beautiful. This
Is counsel many women might take to
heart, thereby making their homes
more beautiful, and undoubtedly far
easier to keep clean and orderly"

How Coal Grows.

1t takes prodigious amount of vege-
table matter to form a layer of coal, it
being estimated that the present
growth of the world would make a lay
err less than one-eighth of an inch in
thickness, and that 1t would take a
million years of vegetable growths to
form coal-bed ten feet in thickness. y
The United States has an area o.
more than 100000 square miles of
coal-felds, and more than 100,000,000
tons of coal were mined in this coun.
try last year-enough to run ring
around the earth at the center 51s feet
wide and So feet thick. Competent
scientists say chat there is enough
coal in the United States to supply the
world for the next 1000 years.
