A Coin In tho Sea,

\ coin dropped into the sea will sink
to the bottom. however deep it is. ow-
ing to the fact that the metal is heavier
than the volume Of water it displaceS.
It Is n common but mistaken notion
that the density Of the sea increases
with its depth and consequent pres
sure. as docs the density Of the atmos-
phere. which we all know Is greatest
at the carth's surface. The air. how
ever. like all gases. is elastic and when
under pressure (as with its own
weight) shrfnks in volume and gains IN
density. Water. on the other hand. is alb
solutely incompressible. and. although
the pressure in the sea increases at the
rate Of one pound for every two feet
we descend. the density Of the water re-
mains the same: consequently the pen
ny continues to outweigh the water it
displnres. and the coin sinks until 1t
finds a solid resting place. The pres.
sure of the water has no influence ut
all on the coin. acting as it does on all
sides equally.

CALIFORNIA ARCHITECTURE

The photograph and plans shown
above of a house designed by Ye Plan
ry. Through typographical error
wrong cut of the building was shown
in our issue April g.
The first consideration in designing
home Is the environment. The stately
colonial would be out of place on
plain-the low mission style would be
equally so in a setting of large trees
and formal lawns, while in the noun
tains perhaps no design Is as appropri-
ate as the Swiss, with its straight, ver-
teal lines and fiat roof, while the use
of materials native to the locality adds
to the tout ensemble.
With all these ideas in view, the
house shown herewith was designed for
a background of mountains with
magnificent view of the sea twenty
miles away to the front. The owner
desired only a few rooms, but that
those few should be large and sunny,
and with plenty of porch. The den In
sures privacy, while the stair-hall gives
convenient access to the kitchen, coat
closet, living room, up stairs, basement
and rear entrance, without using other
rooms as a passage way.
1t is a house designed to live In, al.
though the spacious front and side
porches, balcony, screen sleeping room
-one of which is always in the shade
would seem to tempt one to an exist
enee altogether out of doors.

REAUTIFYINe COUNTRY HOMES

In planning to beautify a farm house
the first point is to get rid of the i'm
preston that 1t costs great deal of
money to make a country home beau
tiful. Oftentimes a country home can
be made very attractive by little per-
sonal trouble with no large expendi-
ture or care. One of the first things
to do is to clean up the place. Too often
about country homes there is so much
room, fresh air and so much large out
of-doors that the wood pile, the ma
chinery and other things are left scat
tered about the place. A little order
in arranging the front yard, and back
yard as well, can get rid of this con-
fusion. Once the grounds are cleaned
up 1t remains only for a little system
to be inaugurated in keeping things In
place to have the grounds remain
clean. So far as landscape planting
is concerned, most country homes are
so situated as to have views of natural
landscapes that are in themselves
beautiful. Sometimes 1t is necessary
only to clear out few trees, opening
up vistas, to give views from the Win
dows and porches to distant hillsides
or water-courses, in order to secure
beautiful landscape effects. In plant
ing shade trees Immediately about the
house it is we'll to group them in such
a way that one may see out between
the groups over the surrounding land
scape. Shade trees should be placed
so as to afford needed shade. If
porch Is heated by the afternoon sun
a shade tree may be SO placed as To
protect it from the excessive sunlight.
Usually 1t may be so placed, or else
pruned in such a manner. however. as
not to cut out distant views.
