MEANEST KIND OF A JOKE
Mans Idea Of fiumor Meant Few
Distracted Moments for
Mothers.

A mean, low-lived man living in an
apartment house on East Elghty-seV-
euth street played a cruel, o a very
cruel, Pudd'nhead Wilson joke the
other day On two young women, each
the proud possessOr of ilrst-born
babe about month old.
The two first-born prOdigies were
out on the porch Of the apartment
house the other afternoon. The two
porches connect, the way they do on
many apartment houses, being separ-
ated only by small railing. The Jo-
ker came along and shifted the two
kids. Then the mothers took their
offspring out for an airing. Eacn
youngster was all done up in mes
quito netting and stuff and neither
mother noticed the change until one
Of them stopped at the home OF her
mother on another street. She ran
to the phone to notify the police, but
in her excitement called the fire de-
partment. It was just awful! AS
both babies were comparatively new,
she didn't even recognize the one she
had toted along as belonging to her
neighbor, and she couldn't think tor
the life Of her where she could have
rlislaid her own child. o, it was ter
rible while the excitement was at its
height but the two little dears have
been traded back now and all is we'll
once more-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

In boring for oil, when the drill
reaches the depth where it allows E IS

Natural Ventilation.

In cold weather the escape of air
from closed warm rooms through the
i,orosity of walls ana the leakage
around doors and windows is much
greater than is usually supposed. In
some experiments by Arthur D. Lit
lie OF Boston, room of G15 cubic feet
vas in the second story Of an ordinary
clapboarded frame dwelling and the
interior walls and ceilings were plas-
tered and papered. the single window
made as tight as possibly by putty.
md the inner door was fitted with
weather strips. Even in this room,
natural causes made almost two CON-
Dlete changes of air an hour, as shown
by tests OF the carbolic acid. It would
he interesting to know how the Tate
changes with the differences between
outside ard inside temperature, and
what difference gives an ordinary
tight family living room safe ven
tiiation.
