AT THE BlJoU THEATER.

Those who heard Miss Lois Lee,
the charming contralto, at the Bijou
theater last night were treated to a
purely musical treat. She will be
here the balance of the week, and is
an exceptional star in vaudeville cir
cles. For tonight there will be a
complete change of moving pictures
and songs, in fact the whole program
changes, as Miss Lee will have new
songs to sing, and ffayter & Janet
will reproduce their popular singing
act. T. -:

The unleashed lollar will pursue
Tho frightened Teddy Bear,
The crowd will trample on the clerks
And pull each others hair;
The young and old will pull and push,
And mill around and butt, g
And Santa Claus in terror will
Take to the tall uncut.
And then the fateful Christmas
eve will come with wintry weather,
and Morgan will hang up his shirt
with both tails pinned together; and
anything by way of luck that mana

welcome to, o joy and double bliss.
The happy kids will rise at morn,
With rapture at the bat,
And get down twenty-seven steps
With turn in nothing flat.
The tickled heart of youth will

And sing its wondrous luck,
The cautions boy will climb the flue
To see If any stuck. .5
The house will oscillate with joy,
The breakfast will be late,
And old John D. will get the earth

THE SHOW AT THE GEM.

The Bennett sisters, Juvenile sing

the Gem theater last night, and pat

it a point to see their act some time

night there will be complete change

ENPLANATION.-Th diagram shows
the wheel in the flume immersed to depth
of six feet. Wheel Is 2S feet diameter;
l6 paddles: space between each paddle
at the outer rim, five feet five inches.
The paddles are set at an angle to the
spokes and are thus seven feet long.
The inner rim, to which the inner end
of the paddles are attached, is Is feet
i'm diameter or slightly more than 80 feet
In circumference. The spece between the
inner ends of the paddles Is three feet

four feet. At five revolutions per minute

are 16 feet deep and "a feet wide at
the bottom. The building up of the
dixie and the digging of the ditch was
done by a dredge which, starting at
the river, dug its own channel around
the tract, the earth taken out in the
operation beng dumped on the outside
to form the dixie. Running straight
across the tract are five smaller
bitches, joining both ends with the
main ditch. At the corner of the tract
where the north and east sections eff.
feet junction, at the lowest point,
the power house was erected and the
water wheel and the machinery to op-
crate it installed. Under the power
house and cutting straight through
the dixie there is a sluiceway four feet
wide and 80 feet long by 16 feet deep,
constructed of concrete. In this flume
the water wheel is set, its shaft ad.
justed so that its wood paddles are
within a quarter of an inch of the
smooth fiat walls and bottom of the
tiume. On the outlet end, where the
wall Is rounded to conform to the cir
cumlerence of the wheel for a dis.
tance of six feet from the bottom
the end of the paddles slip along the
surface and discharge the water into
the outer slulceway.
The wheel is 2S feet in diameter and
four feet wide and constructed, en-.
tirely of steel. The wood paddles are
bolted on at decided angle to the
wheel spokes, in order to permit the
water TO flow OF more freely as the
wi eel revolves and the paddles pass
the mouth of the sluiceway This Is
necessary because the water is not
raised as high as the wheel axis, at
which point the spokes would be
parallel to the surface of the stream.
There are 16 of the paddles and when
the wheel is in operation they are the
important factor in lifting the water
from the ditch to the river beyond.
The great wheel is arousing much
interest because of its novelty and
large capacity. and as yet is the only

BeIaium's New Coal Field.

The Belgian government has under
consideration the exploitation of the
new coal basin discovered in the
northern part of Belgium. The first
discovery of a. deposit of coal in this
region was made in 1901 by means Of
borings extending to a depth of 100
feet. Since then borings. some of
which are about 5000 feet deep, have
demonstrated the existence of a rich
zone of coal under the provinces of
Limbourg and Antwerp, having a
length of about So miles, and a maxi
mum breadth of ten miles. The
great average depth of the deposit
naturally presents the chief difficulty
in the way of its exploitation.

these crate fues are ventilators OF
the very best possible type. They are
at work night and day carrying out
the foul air that is so Objectionable
in many houses. Ventilation will re-
ceive more attention as the scientific
treatment of tuberculosis and pneu.
monia becomes better understood.
These diseases are caused by lack OF
fresh air, and they are cured, IL cured
at all, by causing the patients to
breathe abundantly of air that rNTnes
directly from outdoors. Sometimes
severe cases have been cured by leav-
ing the window in the sleeping room
open day and night. When people get
to understand the value of fresh air
we will have better ventilated houses.

doors by a vestibule with double
doors so it may be kept warm. Each
bedroom has two clothes closets,
something that is unusual in any
house, but an improvement that will
be appreciated.
Another splendid feature is the size
of the bath room. One important
consideration in arranging a bath
room is to have it over or near the
kitchen, so the same pipes that supply
water to the tub and wash stand will
supply the kitchen sink, and the same
rule works right in regard to the
waste pipes. II not only effects
saving in first cost, but it is better for
several reasons. The shorter the
pipes are the better they will work,
and the more condensed the space the
easier they are kept from freezing In
the winter time.
The kitchen is large enough, and II
is both light and airy because OF the
windows on the side and the door In
the end, and this door opens onto
very comfortable back porch that may
be easily screened from flies and
mosquitoes.

one so used in this country. The
small expense of operation is its chief
recommendation, and when one con.
siders that it has drained seven miles
of 3i-foot ditch, six to seven feet
deep, in less than ten hours. he has
some idea of what 1t could do in drain
ing swamps and marshes now covered
with water at all seasons of the year.
To operate the wheel there is pro-
vided heavy continuous gearing with
tve-inch face, which is bo,ted securely
to the rim and which engages a pair
OF 12-inch spur-gears, mounted on a
counter-shaft, which in turn Is con.
nected by betting to the engine shaft.
The engine is 125 horsepower of the
ordinary slide valve type, supplied
with steam from a fire-tube boiler.
When operated at its full capacity the
wheel revolves five times a minute and

You would hunt long time before
finding another such dining-room in
a low-cost house. The room is 12 by
l3l5 feet, but is larger than the size
indicates because of the large china
closet and the extra large pantry,
where great many things that are
commonly kept in the dining-room
will find more convenient places. In
fact, 1t is not absolutely necessary to
have sideboard in this dining.room
OF course a sideboard looks well In

the living room Is furnished. Living
