Eskimos do today.
The hearth Of the ancient Romans
was in the porch, but the fires lighted
there were not designed to make
houses habitable, seemingly, but were
merely an indication of hospitality to
friends.
The houses, when occasion called
for heat, were furnished with firing
pan and bellows carried from room to
room by slaves. This was in more or
less constant operation day and night
in very cold weather. In the early
centuries Of the Middle Aages there
seems to have been an attempt made
to perfect the very elementary fash.

Leading Christian Endeavorers were among

Esperanto For years the Christian Endeavor
World published a regular Esperanto depart

Of Christian Endeavor, comprising the En-
deavorers Of the United States and Canada.
An extensive Esperanto exposition was pro-
vided for the Nebraska Silver Jubilee conven-
ton, held at Lincoln last October This con-
vention, attended by more than 1,200 dele
gates. was one of the greatest state conven-
tions held in the history Of the Christian En-
deavor There were exhibited here a number
of letters from prominent people, one OF the
most interesting being a statement from Helen
Keller, the only deaf-blind person with col
lege education, saying that she is interested
in Esperanto and has some books about 1t.

periodicals in Europe published an announce

Convenience In Common Use Today
Evidently Was Unknown Some
Centuries Ago.

In the excavations at Pompeii and
Herculaneum no discovery appears to
have been made Of anything approach
ing the nature Of the modern chimney.
The earliest mention Of the chimney
seems to be in an ancient Venetian
inscription over doorway, where 1t Is
written that in 1S47 certain chimneys
in that location were demolished by
earthquakes. 1t is by conjecture only
that we are able to say that the chin
ney was known in ancient Italy. Sene'
ca, who lived during the first CEN
tury Of our era, invented a species Of
tube which he affixed to the length
Of the wall, and 1t seems to have run
through floors.
Through this the heat passed from
gubterranean ovens called ''hypo-
causts," of which remains were found
in buried cellars Of houses built on
the Bay of Naples.
But in this there is no evidence of
any chimney In the modern sense or
even Of any kind Of stove. Before the
invention of the chimney fires were

Rats With Peculiar Stripe the Result
of Their Being Uttered In
a Penltentary.

Parental influence has been the
study of scientists for ages, and many
wonderful results have been record
ed, but the most remarkable case
known has come to light in this city.
White rats striped with brown have
been bred at the penitentiary here by
Newton Trusty, a convict, and the
association Of the rats with convicts
wearing striped colors, the body Of
the clothes being white and the stripes
brown, is believed to account for
these freak rats.
Trusty was sent to the penitentiary
years ago for murder, and was to have
served a life sentence. Hope Of Sc
curing a parole or pardon caused him
to study out some method of making
money while in the prison, and he de.
cided to breed white rats and sell
them. He had been conducting the rat
breeding farm within the prison walls
for years before the first white rat
striped with brown made its appear.

sisted of traces of the bed Of an an

pieces of oak had been driven into the
bed, and some large bones Of deer,
the skull and antlers Of red deer,
the jawbone and teeth Of a large
herbivorous animal, and large num-
ber Of worked flints were found. The
site, which was discovered during ex-
cavations for the grammar school
swimming baths, is thought to be Of
much greater antiquity than the ia

bury. 1t was situated under an alluvi-

Of such societies has a magazine Of Its own.
Possibly 1t is not SO well known that Brazil,
some years ago, issued a very slzeable bulle-
tin in Esperanto; that one of the largest rail-
roads in the United States has published a
pamphlet in the same language for dstribu-
tion among Europeans; that the United States

respondence by means Of the Language Of
Hope" or that young man is travelling in
