DRAINAGE OF ZUYDER ZEE

A great project is again before the
people of Holland-the drainage OF
the Zuyder Zee. The sea. which, as
every one knows, is in the north OF
Holland, and covers an area of $4,000
hectares, hectare being practically
two acres and half. Just half CEN
tury ago a scheme to drain the south
ern portion of the sea was first moot
ed, and although it received consider
able support, the opposition was great
err, but now an association has been
formed and a bill introduced into
the chamber. The promoters see that
with an increased population means
must be taken to enlarge the country.
and this reclamation of the sea is sug-
gested as capable Of accomplishment
If the sea is conquered there are sew
eral lakes which can be dealt with
later.

washinqton society,s New Fad.

Washington society has awakened
to a new idea-plays written and act
ed by children and produced for audi
ences of children.
The early part of January witness
cd the first performance of a one-act
comedy by 16-year-old boy 1t was
acted by five children between the
ages of and Is, the SONS and daugh-
tiers of the social leaders of the cap
ital and presented at the Playhouse,
the newest society club in Washing
ton, which is given over to the anna
tetur dramatic productions Of its
members, before a matinee audience
of the sons and daughters of the smart
set
1t is believed that other cities will
follow the example Of this Juvenile
club and that a great deal of interest
will be aroused among the youngsters
all over the country. At any rate
Washington society will delight in it
-as it does in every new fad.

WORK OF THE BEAVERS

The beavers not only cut down
trees for the purpose of making dams,
but also use the smaller upper
branches as storage supply OF food
for winter use. These branches, from
two to four diches in diameter, are
cut into lengths of two or three feet
and then by wonderful engineering
ability, are carried beneath the wa
ter and into the beavers houses, or
the burrows, with which the bank OF
every beavers dam is honeycombed-
There they are carefully stored. The
green bark Is the staple article OF
food throughout the winter. The dams
are of varying height and length. &C
cording to the particular location. A
dam was found In Mesa county, Col
orado, which was just six feet from
bottom to top and impounded body
of water six feet or more in depth and
covering an area Of several acres.
This dam was perfect in construction.
1t was composed entirely of willow
bushes, as no larger timber grows in
the vicinity.

WHY DO THEY Do IT?

There are many strange facts about
animals which no one has ever seem
ed able to understand or explain. Here
are few of them:
A fly will crawl to the top Of a win
dom pane, fly back to the bottom, and
crawl up again Hardly ever does 1t
fy up and crawl down. 1t has been
known, however, to repeat the former
process 80 times without stopping.
Hens scratch for food always with
the sun behind them, so that it's rays
will reflect on the tiny particles. Yet
a blind hen, for whom this reason
does not hold, always manages to get
the sun behind her when she scratches
and she will not miss a single kerr
mel, either.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet
to the fire. In most cases they lie
instead with their left side turned to-
ward it, But dogs invariably lie with
their forepaws to the fire.
A mouse overlooks perfectly safe
food supply, sufficient for meal or
two, to enjoy the perilous pleasures OF
an unlimited store. 1t will hide near
the food and come out to nibble when
1t is hungry. for it is not true that a

FEAT OF A WATER CARRIER

Dominick j. Pace, age thirteen. an
Italian boy from Genoa, employed as
water boy for a gang of Italian Sec
ton men at Lawrenceburg, Ind, won
a suit of clothes. a pair of shoes,

Burke made the offer to fit him out
for Christmas if he would carry the
bucket of water on his head two miles

or removing the burden from his
head. Dominick stepped off at a i've
ly rate and won the offer in 50 min

REMOVING FAT BY SURGERY

A surgical operation for the remov-
al of fat was performed in London re-
Gently by DIR. w. Wayne Babcock. AS
is well known, large quantities of fat
are frequently deposited between the
skin and muscles of the abdomen. II
was this layer of fat that the surgeon
removed. The operation itself seemed
to be simple, and DIR. Babcock declar-
ed that in the hands Of skilled sur
geon it was not dangerous. 1t consist
ed in making long incision in the abb
domen, turning back the skin. and re-
moving the superfuous fat. When
enough fat had been removed the skin
was turned back to its natural position.
and the incision sewed up. After the
operation the woman was lighter by
twelve pounds.

CARVED HIMSELF IN WOOD

One of the most remarkable work
men in the world is Hananuma Masa-
kichi of Toxic, Japan, who has carved
a figure in wood so like himself that
when the two are placed side by side
it is said to be almost impossible to
tell which lives and breathes and
which does not.
BY several connoisseurs in art this
wooden figure has been pronounced
the most perfect human image OF
man ever made. Masakichi has faith
fully reproduced every scar, vein and
wrinkle to be seen on his own body.
The figure is composed of 10000
pieces of wood, dovetailed and joint
ed with such wonderful skill that no
seams can be detected. Tiny holes
were drilled for the reception of hairs
and eyelashes in which no dissimilar-
ity to Massakichi's own can be, de-
tected

BOARDING HOUSE ERA GONE
Many Senators and Representatives
Own Homes-Others Have to
Pay Big Rent.

1t was in Arthur's administration
that western senator was defeated
for reelection because some of his
opponents had photograph taken of
the house in which he lived, mod
est residence in a block; but the pho
tograph was SO manipulated as to
make 1t appear that the corner of the
block was the senator's palace, which
was sufficient to convince tho dear
"peepul' that he was an aristocrat
and had waxed fat on his ill-gotten
gains and no longer felt the heart
beat of common humanity So the
people would have no more of him
and sent him back to the farm to find
such consolation as he could in re-
f1ecting on the ingratitude of repub-
lies and the shrewdness of unscrupu-
lous political opponents. 1t taught
its lesson, however To live in a
boarding house where slouchy serv-
ants served sloppy food in numerous
small dishes that could be used either
and conversation, like the Sunday
evening supper" was rechauffe OF
the midday meal, was as much a part
of the congressman milieu as the
SLOUGH hat, Prince Albert and white
tie which proclaimed the southern and
tiers, being in class by themselves,
were grouchingly permitted to rent
houses, but it laid them open to sus-
picion. 1t was more democratic to
live in hotel whose prices made the
constituents of rural congressman
gasp.
The boarding house era has gone
with the muddy boots and the unin-
7ited guest at White House recep-
ton, although there are still writer's
of Washington fiction who describe
the high life OF the boarding houses.
Senators and representatives can own
their own houses, unless they are CIV
ing ambitious and INSCRIPTIONS oppo-
nents a weapon for their undoing, and
they live in large or small houses ac-
cordingly as their means justify 1t
is an economy for a member of con-
gress, senator especially, to buy a
house rather than to rent, for he will
have to spend a greater portion of the
next six years in Washington, and
he must either rent a furnished house
and pay several times the value of
the furniture during his term or buy
or bring his own furniture, while the
house he buys will usually return
modest interest on the Investment.

Law on His Side.

The lew York pedestrian took his
time in crossing Broadway.
He knew his rights and meant to as
sert them.
Just the day before a learned Judge
had declared from the bench that pc.
destrians were not required by law to
avoid vehicles In the streets.
The pedestrian had read this de.
cision and knew the statutes were on
his side.
He advanced smartly.
The next moment he was scraped
by motorcycle, 1ostled by taxicab
hit by runabout, bumped by tour
ing car and run over by an auto-truck
He wrote to the learned judge from
the hospital, detailing the facts.
And the learned judge wrote back:
you acted strictly in accordance
with the law"

or something of the sort, and keep
him in a box in the house, visiting
him and feeding him daily. In about
three months he will crawl to you for
food when he sees you coming.
Some queer ways of doing things
are explainable, however. Do you
know, for instance, why a dog always
turns around two or three times be-
fore he lies down? 1t is because his

they could find convenient place to
