In the Footsteps Of xenophan.

across the lake to Tadwan, a little Ar

simplicity may be seen as 1t was 1000
years ago. Farther south, days

Greeks marched on their way to the
sea, they passed Bitlis. and even then
the Kurds hurled stones down upon
them from the castle rock. !
At the present time the Turkish gov,
ernment is building coed, permanent
road through the Armenian mountains,
and it is picturesque country through
which it passes. There are high noun

rocks, quaint villages perched in pre-

This is two fiat building Of six
rooms each, and it represents style
that is popular at the present time in
some of the larger cities.
Such buildings are generally built
and owned by men who live in the
lower fat and rent the upper. In
case the building is fitted with a
steam heating plant the owner man
ages the boiler and the hot water heat
er, thus supplying steam and hot wa
ter for the whole building.
It costs very little more to heat two
dats than one when steam is employ.
ed; so as 1t is matter of economy to
have one heating apparatus, and as
for hot water the same rule applies.
The hot water heaters in fiat build.
ings are little round stoves, either
with water Jackets or lined with coils
of pipe through which the water cir.
culates. Sometimes in winter the wa.
ter is heated from coil of water pipe
inside the furnace of the boiler, but
for the better buildings the hot water
heater is entirely separate from the
steam heating plant

Advocate Was Still Ahead of Lieuten-
ant, Therefore the Duel Was
Out of the Question.

The late Alfred Love of Philadelphia
was Americas pioneer peace advo-
cate. Mr. Love brilliantly advocated
universal peace in days when such
views caused men to be dubbed fools
and cranks.
He had many stories wherewith, at
Philadelphia dinner parties, he drove
home his peace propaganda. Thus, at
the Art club, he once said:
II wish we'd all take as sensible
and prudent a view of war as the
Nice advocate took Of duelling.
"An advocate and lieutenant quar-
relied one evening at the Cafe de la
Regence in Nice, and the lieutenant
sent his seconds to the advocate the
next morning. But the advocate
shook his head and said:
GA duel? No, no! 1t wouldn't be
fair. The risks would be unequal.
For, look you, the lieutenant Is sim

building of this character an air of
thrift and tone of superiority which
commands respect enough to secure
good rents.
One fiat in such buildings often
rents for enough to pay the interest
and taxes on the whole investment so
that the owner can figure his own
rent only costs him the janitor serv-
ice, repairs, etc. A two fiat brick
building the size of this one, which is
twenty-seven feet in width and forty
nine feet in length, is generally val
ued in the resident sections of Chi
cago at from $4,000 to $4,000, accord
ing to the size of the lot, location,
style of finish and general condition.
In designing flats, architects try to
avoid long Railways. There is gen.
orally not much objection to passing
through a dining room, as it is not
used much except at meal time so the
dining rooEl may be counted as part
of the hall and save that much space.
It is considered great advantage
to have windows on both sides of a
building Too many resident fat
buildings are placed right up against
each other SO the windows at the
sides get no light except from the so
called light areas. When the buildings
are long and narrow, as most of them
are, the middle rooms are quite dark
even when the sun is shining. On
gloomy days good many high priced
flats are so dark that artificial light
is necessary all day long. Flat life

underground New York.

New York's underground population
is sufficient to make city of consid-
cradle proportions for according to
the best obtainablel statistics about
10000 persons in New York City spend
their entire working hours beneath
the surface of the earth. These fig
ures include employees on systems of
subways now in operation, and the
large crew driving that wonderful
aoueduct throughout the Island of
Manhattan and over into Long Island
to sarry the waters that are being
brought down by siphon from the Cats

employed at other work.

TickIish Position.

They are in very ticklish posi-
tion," said Simeon Ford, the New
York humorist, apropos of the situa.
ton in the Balkans. Their position
reminds me of Browns:
"A friend dropped in on Brown the
other night, to find him engaged in q
poker game with four bachelor friends
Bottles and glasses were everywhere
and cigar stubs Uttered the pale and
costly Persian rug. Mrs. Brown, oil
course, was at the seashore.
Brown said the visitor severely

Political Prophecy.

All men are intuitive prophets. This
is part of their proud claim to the
possession of reason looking before
and after. On all sides one meets
happy warriors protesting to see in
current events only what they fore
saw and predicted. Especially in pub
lie affairs are the most unlikely Sauls
found among the prophets. Who of
us has not been drawn aside by man
bearing none of the outward insignia
of a prophet, who begs his hearer to
mark his words as he proceeds to
unroll the book of fate? His favor
ite field is political campaigns. He
will tell you who is going to be elect
ed and why. Near and far his eye
rolls in fine frenzy, and his fore
casts are as universal and sweeping
and-we regret to say-usually as in
accurate as those of the old-style al
manac. Despite frequent ludicrous
confoundings by the event, this kind
or prophet comes up smiling after
every failure. He is stayed by no
consideration of probability or the
doctrine of chances, and openly fouts
the maxim not to prophesy "onless ye
know"

Although bagpipes are usually as

ancient Greek and Roman instrument.

Nero is said to have played upon a
bagpipe. Chaucer represents the mil.
les as skilled in playing bagpipes.

Harmful TYNE.

Mayor Gaynor was a good hater--

and cant.
He hated also the overoptimistic.
overcharitable man, who has a good

one day:

Flat buildings have undergone con-

The new ones are a noticeable i'm
