A fourroom cement bungalow Is an
Interesting proposition. The bungalow
style Of house has been very popular
In California for a good many years
and 1t has steadily worked its way
east During the past five years these
Interesting little dwellings have grown
In popularity until 1t seems that the
more bungalows we have the more
we want.
The Introduction of modern con-
veniences into bungalows has altered
the whole house building problem.
The flrst bungalows in the east were
not called by that name. They were
known as summer cottages and they
were built usually on the bank Of a
river or near the shore of the ocean
or some pretty lake. They we're mere

to protect the family against cold

very artistic bungalow designs but
many of them are very convenient

SHREWD IDEA OF DIPLOMAT
Where Russian Officer Of Embassy
Proved More Than a Match
for Abdul Hamld.

D.plomatists abroad tell how a dis.
tinguished member of the Russian
corps diplomatique cleverly outwitted
Abdul Hamid, the late Sultan of Tur.
key. The Russian displayed a curious
ingenuity in introducing the business
of his country in the guise of personal
pleasure.
1t appears that the Sultan had abso-
lutely refused to grant an audience TO
any member of the diplomatic body at
Constantinople and that during the
period in question Abdul Hamid spent
the greater part of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement whereof he
was passionately fond.
The Russian heard that his imperial
majesty stood in need of fresh birds
to supply the place of those killed in
fight, whereupon the willy Muscovite
procured fine-looking white fowl Of
the barnyard species, caused 1t to be
trimmed and spurred to resemble a
gamecock, and sent it in a richly deco
rated cage to the Sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the
Sultan, at first delighted with the gift,
soon sent for the diplomatist to ex-
plain, if he could, why his bird had
shown no inclination to fight The
Russian went, examined the bird in
the presence of Abdul Hamid, and
with great astonishment and regretg
acknowledged that it was quite unable
to cope with the royal gamecocks,
which were undoubtedly of a superior
breed
A conference followed on the subject
Of gamecocks in general; and when
this was finished the Muscovite sue.

mood for conversation of a different
character, and in time adroitly intro

long awaited an opportunity to discuss.
After long interview he returned to
his embassy triumphant over his col.
leagues.-Harper's Weekly.

part of the nineteenth century and is

STUDY OF AIR CURRENTS.
Tides in the Atmosphere Similar to
Those on the Sea.

Until men began to navigate the
air and study its currents and move
Tents little attention was paid to the
conditions of the upper atmosphere,
and such matters as atmospheric tides
and top currents completely encircling
the earth were at seemingly little in.
terest.
Since men have flown, and especial
ly since men have flown and fallen,
We have heard great deal in vague
way of air currents. Recently Law
renee Hodges in paper before an
English scientific body gave some
unique facts about air tides which
are not generally known.
The moon, we know, causes the
rarine tides by its attraction. 1t
draws the water on the surface OF
Ne earth toward 1t in a hump on the
e that it exposed to the lunar in.
.Gence. and draws the earth itself
way from the water on the opposite
side, leaving corresponding hump OF
water.
The air it seems, is affected in the
same way. The layer of atmosphere
about the earth rises, falls and flows
more freely than water, because 1t is
lighter SO the tide comes more quick
y in the air at given spot than the
marine tide.
The air, it seems, is affected in the
same way. The layer of atmosphere
about the earth rises, falls and flows
more freely than water, because It is
lighter, so the tide comes more quick
ly in the air at given spot than the
marine tide.
This rise and fall, however, means
just as much to the navigator of the
air as the tide in the sea does to the
sailor. and has to be accounted for.
The most remarkable current, how
ever, is one constant stream in the at
mosphere running from west to east
completely around the earth in the
upper atmosphere.
This was first brought to public at
ention when the volcano Krakatao
blew cubic mile of matter into the
upper atmosphere in the sos. The
lighter particles were seen to make
a complete circuit of the earth seven
times in this circumglobular current
before they finally disappeared. ed.-Chi.

Lattice Screens for Inns.

Many quaint old inns are to be seen
in Kings Lynn and the sign of the
Lattice Inn is one of the Oldest in
existence. In the olIen times the
windows of inns were kept open. and
n order to hide the jewellers within
lattice screen, painted red, was
Iced in the window. There is an
old saying: "As well known by my
Wit as an alehouse by red lattice"
rhe lattices continued up to the be-
;inning of the eighteenth century
nd when they disappeared from the
windows they were adopted as signs.
rhe latter are very scarce and it is
questionable whether half dozen

Chinese CompIexlons.

A French writer has given in La
Presse Medicale the results of his OBJ.
servations on massage in China. He
remarks that the exquisite complexion
of the young Chinese women is due
not to enameling, as has been sus-
pected, but to careful manipulation of
the face done by expert masseuses.
They begin by gentle pinching of
the cheeks between the tips of their
fingers, which lasts fully ten minutes;
then apply lotions on absorbent cot
ton, then an unguent, and finish by
kneading the cheeks with an extreme
delicacy of touch, always proceeding
from the nose and commissures of
the lips toward the ears.
This is a harmless and physiologic-
ally correct process which can be
recommended in cases, rarer than
they should be, where the physician
