1t is the Frenchman's boast that samples of the
worlds best scenery and the range of all it's de-
sirable climates are found within the boundaries
of his native country. In these respects French
Catalonia-which with portion of old Langue

department Pyrenees Orientales- be de-
scribed as France in miniature. Mont Canigou,
admittedly of the most majestic. most i'm.
pressive of the Pyrenean peaks, is $500 feet
high; PUG Nal, a less conspicuous neighbor
stands a trife higher; and, clustered close are
other splendid heights. The scenery among these
giants is of the kind usually term Alpine,
but from the snow-slopes of the Canigou you may
look down upon the sun-burnt shores OF Spain
and the blue, cleaning floor of the far-stretched
Mediterranean. Or deserving the heights and
starting say, from Mont Louis, loftiest of the
fortified towns of France, and new center for
winter sports, you descend the winding valley of

SHIPS WHICH WILL NOT SINK

of giving the vessel greater buoyancy as it sinks
in the water There is really nothing new in
this ideea and it has been applied successfully In
building lifeboats and other small vessels. It
adds to the width of the vessel above the water
line and the inventor is wrong in claiming that it
would not interfere with its cargo-carrying capa-
city.
Modern steamships are safe enough when at
sea- so far as the storms and flashing OF the waves
are concerned The dangers that threaten them
are collisions with other vessels with dereicts or
with icebergs and of course, running ashore or
on a rock in dense fog Take two vessels OF
equal size crossing each others paths, let one
strike the other amidships and the vessel struck
would be cut in two if the other going at full
speed The tremendous force Of the blow is al
most beyond calculation. In the case of yes
sci the size of the new Imperator, it would prob.
ably be equal to striking force of 100000 foot
tons No cellular belt or any other conceivable
construction would save ship under such condi-
tons The thing to do is to avoid all such risks
as far as possible. The Titanic was lost because
its captain had too much confidence in its unsink-
able construction.

favor with the English winter spa. The Ola
village of Vernet which faces the luxurious
grounds of the modern Establishment, is a typical
Catalan village, and, owing to its situation, is
strangely picturesque. The red roofs OF the
crumbling houses cover both man and beast, and
the narrow twisting streets follow the outline
of the hiock in the manner usual with southern
mountain hamlets. but they are crowned by
medieval church and chateau. and framed by
distant blue and purple heights Near at hand
Mont Canigou erects his snowy head. For the
Galatians Mont Canigou is the "delectable noun

Another spa made fashionable by the Romans,
is Amelieles Bains, trim, Spanish-looklng town
close on the frontier whose warm climate at
tracts the French consumptive. Not far from
Amelie is the pass across which Hannibal led his
legions on the historic march to Italy. The
Romans had previously sent ambassadors to beg
the Galatians not to allow the Carthaginian meT-
cenaries to traverse their territory, but to turn
them back Hannibal, however, contr1ved to
flatter the owners of the soil; Galatians and Garth
aginians made friends and the soldiers were al
lowed free passage The Col de Perthuis-Han-
nibals route-and another Catalonian col are the
only two passes across the Pyrenees which are
convenient means of egress or retreat to Moor
ish and Spanish invaders. Had there been no
good passage through the great chain the his
tory of the Galatians must have been less cheq-
uered and the Catalonian seaboard might not
have formed fairway for the restless warrior
peoples of medieval Europe.

roof. because in New York and other
eastern states square-bu1lt one-story
houses we're very common. Some OF
these cottage houses we're SO large
that the roof needed all the support
possible. and the pointed peak style
In the design here illustrated was
found especially suitable.
1t looked well then, and it looks well
now; but we make these roofs much
sleeper and add few windows, which
enables us to get the benefit of good
garnet that in the old-style roof was
too dark. Sometimes we tuck several
bedrooms away in the corners of these
pyramid roofs; but when we do that,
we generally run the wall up a foot
or two higher and extend the windows
down considerably lower than these.
AS this house is built the attic is
all right for storage purposes and for
hanging the family washing on rainy
or snowy days; and it is worth a
great deal of comfort, during the sum-
mer, just to keep the house cool when
the sun shines hot and the wind comes
right out of furnace somewhere
down in the southwest.
To appreciate a good attic at its full
value, you must have the window sash
hung with strong hinges. Butts are
all right generally; but sometimes
strap hinges are better; they are sure
ly better if you have the sash made
with wide enough stiles to hold the
screws properly. You must have some
good way of fastening the windows
open, or part way open, SO that they
will stay put in all kinds OF weather.

taken in the middle of the night, lead
to more things than the attic; they
have been known to lead to profanity,
and that is wrong.
Being practically 80 feet wide, this
house needs a 40foot lot if it is on
a corner; and the lot should be wider
than this if there is house on each
side of it. Sometimes there are build
ing restrictions which require all
houses on certain streets to be placed
SO many feet back from the curb or
