WHAT 1T COSTS.
Working People Have to Take Care Of
Paupers and Criminals.

The estimate of the cost OF taking
care of the helpless poor and the de-
cidedly vicious classes presents some
startling figures. The figures run
much higher when We count the cost
of buildings. the salaries of officials
and the loss of the productive energy
which ought to be adding to the re-
sources Of the community.
The pauper and the criminal. if en-
gagged in honest industry. would be
adding to the common wealth As il
Is. there is that much which they fail
to contribute, and then the other
workers have to support them at a
cost which sometimes is felt to be
heavy. Indeed. if men who now rail
at those who seem TO have greater
wealth than they We're to study tho
matter more closely they would see
that the indolent pauper and the Grim
inal are burdens to the poor man.
Directly or indirectly the industri-
Gus working people are required to
help support those who will not work
and others whom it is not safe to have
at large.
The pauper and the criminal are the
real foes of the man who has to work
hard for his living, for out OF his earn
ings there must go something to sup
port in idleness some who are as able
TO work as he is.
II would be tonishing If it we're
not so common 10 note the willingness
of 50 many to settle down into idle.
ness and dependence upon others.
They seem TO have no scruple what
ever in eating the bread they have
not earned, and so the expenses OF the
industrious are made needlessly large
to support the oilers The incompetent
and the reckless.
In these days. when the wealth of
the rich eXCites so much envy and
when the extravaganza of many calls
out rebubes from the working people,
we must not forget that the burdens
OF the workers do not come from that
source. or not alone from that source
hut from people who have nothing and
who earn nothing

DEW PONDS OF THE ANCIENTS
Description of Prehistoric Method Of
Obtaining Water Supply,

One of the prehistoric methods
used IN securing water supply in
sections where it was impossible
to secure 1t from natural sources,
or where it became necessary to
live on elevated territory for de-
tense was by construction of dew
ponds. These dew ponds were
made by following out the earth
for space far in access of the ap-
parent requirements of such a
pond, then thickly covering the
whole of the hollow with a coating
of straw. The straw in its turn
was covered by a layer of we'll
chosen, finely puddled clay, and
the upper surface of the clay close
ly strewn with stones.
Such pond will gradually be-
come filled with water, the more
rapidly the larger it is, even
though no rain may fall. During
the warmth of summer day the
earth will store a considerable
amount of heat, while the pond,
protected from the heat by the
nonconductivlty of the straw, it at
the same time chilled by the pro-
cess of evaporation from the pud-
died clay. THE consequence is
that during the night the moisture
OF the comparatively warm air is
condensed on the surface of the
cold clay. As the condensation
during the nights is in excess of
the evaporation during the day,
the pond becomes night by night,
gradually flled.-Popular Me-
chanlcs.
