on Britain from Scotland. The house
was that of the Roman military COM
mander.
Hot air was generated by a circular
furnace, which heated water and gave
out streams OF hot air into the hypo-
caust, which was a chamber under the
ground floor of the house, containing
arrangements OF hollow tile pillars
called "suspensurae."
From the hypocaust the hot air was
distributed throughout the building by
a series OF wall and floor fiues, giving
an even temperature throughout the
house.
This system was invented shortly
before the time Of the Emperor Aug
ustus, who reigned from 81 B. C. to
IA A. D., and was soon adopted not

Death of c. E. Parker.

All Athol and vicinity were sorry
TO hear Of very sad accident which
happened Monday morning about
nine o'clock.
G. E. Parker was helping at the
town well and was working down In
the we'll at the time. 1t seems he
gave the signal for the men above to
pull him up, but when the bucket
came up it was empty. Roy White
was sent down and found Mr.. Parker
lying on plank groaning. He
FASTENED up to inform Supt. Prucha
who went down, tied him in the
bucket. and was hosted up. There
was large scalp wound and blood
was streaming over his face. He was
taken to the home of his son, Ray,
Dr.. brennan was 'phoned for, and on
examination found Mr.. Parker was
severely hurt internally. He lived
until four o'clock that afternoon,
suffering great pain up to the last.
Mr.. Parker was man of whom one
cannot say enough. He was Jolly,
full of fun, had Joke, and a pleasant
smile for every man, woman and
child whenever he met them. Every
one for miles around knew, and liked
him.
Charles E. Parker was born in
Stockton, Chautauqua county, New
York, January 81, 1852, died March
l8, 1912, being 60 years, month, 81
days old. He was married to Katie
