Moon elundsrs.

The moon. it seems. il responsible
for more authors 'howlers'' even than
nightingales. Baroness Orczy In pet
ticoat Government draws a beautiful
picture of crescent moon rising over
the treetops In the far eastern sky at
II o'clock on June evening. The pic
ture is SO nice that 1t is a pity to de-
stroy 1t, but the invention is prepos-
ferrous. Lucas Malet errs in a similar
fashion in one Of her novels. Miss
Stevens In 1.-THE Veil' speaks Of the
new moon being seen at sunset pray
er. "a thin slip in the east" A little
study would show that when the moon
rises at sunset 1t must necessarily be
full moon or nearly SO. In the same
book the full moon rises and sets again
within period of two hours. whereas
the full moon is. Of necessity. an all
night moon.-Book News Monthly.

August - To- 30. has program that Is full
OF interesting features. The evolution OF
the wisdom of the ages Is responsible for
many Of the topics; but there is at least
one that Is due 10 mere chance, which l.

cuse, New York:
sumner School, in Syracuse is a modern
SiXtccn-room building, with "a registration Of
over six hundred. II is equipped with fan
which forces hot air into the rooms. There
are also stcam-hcatcd pipes along the out
side walls under the windows. During
school hours the windows and doors are
closed + keep the vcntlllting system in
working order. The rooms are stutfy and
close, and the well known schoolroom odor
is present Many Of the pupils suffer from
headaches, and sometimes one will faint.

81 had plan to relieve this condition, and
had been waiting for such an occasion to
get permission TO try II out. One of the
teachers was willing to adopt it. and per-
mission was given by the principal and jani-
tor; although they both expressed the opiu-
ion that it would not work.
81 had been using a sleeping porch for two
years. In the winter the only protection is
afforded by screens, covered with the cheap
est unblcachcd cotton cloth. This proved
to be a comfortable sleeping place through
the severe winter weather, the inside tenn
perature being from fifteen to thirty-siX
degrees warmer than the outside. de-
pending principally upon the direction and
velocity of the wind. The light cloth al
lowed the fresh air to come slowly in: but
did not radiate or conduct heat outside
From these observations it seemed that
cloth screens might be useful in securing
better school ventilation.
"Ihe 50 grades had FIVE windows facing
the east. The lower sash opening was forty
by thirty-eight inches. Wooden screens
were made and covered with the lightest
grade of unbleached cotton cloth. After
they were put into place the windows were
kept open during school hours. The stuff
