more or less on every other class OF
operative whose handiwork enters
Into the completed structure.
Notwithstanding all this progress,
there has as yet been developed no
type Of building which can be recog-
nized In Its architectural style as
truly and distinctively an American
national type. To my mind. one Of
the most hopeful signs bearing prom
ise of future results In this direction
Is found In the presented drift OF pop
ulation from our cities to suburban
life. This Is bound to prove factor
of immense influence in the education
of public and private architectural
taste, and as progressive citizens we
ought to do all we can to foster it.
What we designate as the city
life," as distinguished from the "coun-
try life" of the colonial period with
Its farms and plantations, is an evolu-
ton since the Civil war, and an ac-
compartment of the great industrial
development that has marked our ma
tional progress since the close of that
historic struggle. People made their

Not only is more building done to-
day than ever before, but the general
problem Of building construction ia
itself more complex and more difficult
now than 1t ever was. The reasons
for this are not far to seek. The rapid
advance Of the American people in
general prosperity. the growth Of In.
dividual fortunes, the evolution of new
structural materials and of new me-
chanical and chemical processes OF
treatment, the invention of new and
easy methods Of construction, the rise
of the factory system, the drift OF
population to the cities, the grouping
OF families in apartment buildings
and tenements In crowded Industrial
centers, the increasing insistence on
absolutely sanitary and fireproof con-
struction-all these have not only
brought about prodigious amount of
new building, but have enormously
complicated the building problem The
specializing Of occupations, too, has
had it's effect. In former days the
mason built the foundation and chin

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest.
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or, failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention Of Captain Grobl,
German diving instructor, who has
constructed rifle which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that 1t

propelled with such farce that it has
an extraordinary power of penetration.

An amusing incident Is related OF

linquished her husband for two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on good photograph. applied
herself assiduously to the upbringing
Of her two-year-old baby with q view
TO the childs familiarity with her dis

call the baby girl to her and, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photo

the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old,
was summoned. Come. DEAR" said
the mother in glee, papa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed
the officer in perplexity and finally
shook her head.
What Is the matter, dear?" asked
her mother. "Well," replied the child,
