Declared No Trees Are
Immune From Lightning

. Lightning is no respecterS Of places,
according to the findings Of q scientific
inquiry made by officials Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. It is Just as
likely to hit one place as another, and
there is no particular species Of tree
that enjoys immunity.
This broad statement, founded on
scientific inquiry, knocks into a cooked
hat" the old superstition and belief that
aspen, beech, and laurel enjoyed a cer-
tain immunity. For centuries past
timid and faint-hearted farmers have
planted trees Of this species in groves
near the house or barn. and felt secure
under the charmed branches.
The report shows that lightning
strikes more often in the Colorado
plateau than in any other section of
the United States.

BRIDGES OF THE INDIANS
Structures Found In North British Co
lumbia Are, Built on the cantl-
lever Principle.

Some interesting examples Of In
dian ingenuity are afforded on the
River Skeena and it's tributaries in
North British Columbia, according to
writer In Scientific American. These
waterways in their upper reaches flow
swiftly and for the most part through
deep ravines. AS 1t is impossible for
the Indians to cross them by means
Of canoes they have resorted to bridg-
ing.
Their bridges are interesting struc-
lures from the engineering point Of
view, inasmuch as the cantilever prin-
ciple is adopted. A bridge of this de-
sign spans the Bulkeley river where
It Is about 120 feet wide, and the
height from the bridge to the water
level is about 80 feet.
1t is built of wooden logs, the logs
OF the structure being formed of single
stout logs varying from go to 80 feet in
length. The task of lowering them
into position must have demanded con-
siderable ingenuity on the part of the
builders.
They are buried some 10 feet ut
their lower ends and anchored by the
superimposltion Of masses Of large
rock rolled and carried to the site. The
longitudinal members of the shore
spans are similarly buried in the
ground and dashed to the ends of the
diagonal logs.
These main members-correspon
4 ing to deck Orders, are about 100 feet
in length, and to either end the A
members Of the superstructure are
dashed. Elaborate cross bracing is
resorted to in order to secure greater
strength.
When the bridge was first erected
the different members were simply
secured together by willow thongs
but when the British Columbian gov.
eminent erected a more substantial
suspension bridge lower down the
river the Indians assembled and fol
lowed the white mans operations with
great interest. They observed how
the thick wire cables were slung and
anchored, and accordingly decided to
introduce wire into their own struc
ture.
They procured the material for this
purpose from wherever they could and
introduced 1t in a most fantastic man
ner. Also when the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway engineers commenced
working on their track near by the
Indians procured odds and ends, such
as bolts and spikes, from them fol-
Introduction in their bridge, so that
now it is a strange looking piece Of
work, though the fundamental can't
lever lines are still distinct.

The bungalow or single-story type
of dwelling house has some special
advantages and is coming into increas-
ing favor. A cottage home of this
type, 25 feet wide by As feet inches
long, is illustrated herewith 1t is
built without an attic, which saves
expense in roof construction; and tho
low roof design fits the general style
Of the house better than a high roof
could. 1t is a small affair when meas
ured up against the ordinary house;
but 1t contains more room and more
conveniences than the orthodox FIVE
room fiat in city, and is immensely
superior when it comes to comfort.
A person never appreciates the
value of a good cellar until he leaves
a house that has one, and goes to live
in city fiat where there is no cellar
except an ice-box, and no room to
store pint of cider or a peck of pota-
toes. The house here shown is much
better arranged than a fiat, because
you have light on all sides, and the
bedrooms, as well as all other rooms,
are light and airy-a great advantage
in both comfort and health BE 1t
ever so humble, there's no place like
home" Is sentiment that applies in
a general way to all small houses, but
not especially to this one, because 1t
is so attractive in appearance, so
thoroughly well arranged, and so com
Portable that the humble features are
lost sight of entirely.
A good deal in house depends on
the layout or shape of the cellar. Many
cellars are almost useless except to
keep the house up away from the
ground, to keep it dry, and to assist
to some extent in keeping the lower
floors warm. Some cellars are too
dark and musty to be desirable, and a
great many cellars are too contempt
IDLY dirty for any purpose whatever.
Much depends on the shape of the eel
lar to commence with, but more de-
ponds on the manner in which 1t is
built and the care it afterwards re.

cumulate to get away easily. If the
ground is very damp have another
course of tile about two feet above or
halfway towards the surface.
The use of cement mortar is a great
preventive against dampness in the
cellar, and the way the cellar floor is
made has a great deal to do with 1t.
You can make a cement bottom that
is porous, or you can make 1t water
tight, just by the difference in the way
the materials are mixed. 1t some
times is desirable to have the back
end of the cellar dry, and the front
part somewhat moist for fruit and

Great changes have come in build
ing small houses within few years.
Until recently the idea of hot and cold
water and bathroom in house OF
this size was almost unheard of. In
order to enjoy what are ordinarily
called modern conveniences," 1t was
necessary to occupy a large house;
but bathrooms, hot water in the hteh-
en- and gas and electric lighting are
growing more common all the time,
and they are being installed in small
er houses every year. Because 1t is

necessary or because a person prefers
a small house, 1t is no longer neces-
sary that they should do without the
comforts of civilization. With the In
crease of small houses fitted with
such Injuries, the health of the peo-
pie has improved.
1t is generally understood that
cleanliness is a good thing for more
reasons than one. Cleanliness. aa
long ago as Bible times, was recog
nized as one of the leading virtues;
but the full benefits were not appre-
clated until the bacteriologists got to
work with their microscopes and fer
reted out a whole lot of mischieVous
germs that were making human life
miserable. Cleanliness cannot be
maintained without hot water and a
reasonably warm atmosphere. This Ia
one reason why furnace and running

ceives. All cellars should be dry;
that is, there should be no perceptible
dampness. When eatables are stored
in a cellar, there should be no accu-
mutation of mould. At the same time,
a cellar should not be dusty dry.
Generally, If cellar is five feet I'M
derground, and the wall extends two
or two and a half feet above grade
the cellar will be cool in summer. will
not freeze in winter, and will be Meth
er too dry nor too damp.
There are, however, local conditions
which affect all cellars. Sometimes
the ground is very damp, and in some
places it is very dry. The site may be
exposed to the north winds or south
ern sunshine, either of which will at

little house like this, the cellar be-
comes of more importance than where
the house is larger, because you want

for a great many purposes, where a
cellar in a large house would be neg
lected.
