"BIG TINS" HEIRS
FEED THE POOR
NEW YORK CITY TAKES HAPPI-
NESS INTO EVERY
i HOME.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Well at
tended church services, and the dis
tribution of Christmas dinners to
nearly 100000 of the city's depend
ents were the features Of New York's
observance of the day Of nativity.
The day broke with the gentleness
associated with Indian summer"
clouded up threateningly about noon,
and ended in showers and drizzles.
One result of this was the celebration
planned in connection with the pee
pies out-of-door Christmas tree in
Madison Square had to be postponed
until tomorrow night.
The Salvation Army led in the dis,
tribution Of Christmas cheer. In ad-
dition to issuing 5000 Christmas din
ner baskets, each of which contained
food enough for six, the organization
entertained $500 children with a
Christmas tree party. One thousand
baskets were given by the volunteers
OF America and 5000 dinners were
served by the heirs of big Tim" Sui
Ivan.
Turkey dinners were served in all
OF the public and charitable institu-
tions and afternoon entertainments
were given. Inmates of New York's
prisons were not overlooked, though
in some cses the usual entertainments
were omitted. One of the notable
events of the ay was the celebration
organized by the "spugs" or society
Tor the prevention of useless giving.
More than 1900 adults and children,
rich and poor, attended its Christmas
tree party, at which presents, coffee,
cakes, sandwiches and candy were
distributed.

towns and cities. The cellar under
this house should be divided into two
main compartments by stone or con-
crete wall; a cross wall under the
partition which divides the library
from the dining room would do the
business. The furnace pipes or hot
water heating pipes can then be car
ried to the library without passing
through the fruit cellar. 1t is impos-
sible to have satisfactory fruit eel
lar unless you can keep it cold.
1t is usually much more satisfac-
tory to have the laundry also par
titioned off from the furnace room.

there will be considerable dust, and it
is just as well to keep it out of the
laundry if you can. These partitions

money now just as in the paimy days
of the Arabian Nights, when Haroun-
al-Raschid frequented the coffee,
houses of Bagdad, and the early Baby
lonian kings toured the towns of Mes
opotamia. The graphic tales told in
the Old Testament about the early set
tiers of this country are easily verified,
for nothing has changed. Here in the
bazaar, for instance, sits wrinkled
but active person mending fishnets.

floors. To get rooms above, it is only
necessary to raise the caves foot or
two higher and to make the roof a
little bit sleeper, neither of which
cost very much at the time of build
ing, and the room gained in this way
is considerable.
This story-and-a-half house is not
small affair, by any means. 1t is
36 feet wide by IS feet in length, and
contains six rooms downstairs with a
chance to finish up two or three rooms
in the attic and in that way make
ten-room house. The plan is good
one for summer cottage, because of
the accommodation it offers for
large house party. 1t is also good
plan for any location where ground is
plentiful, because there is a good deal
to it.

How Sun RepeIs Comets, Tails.

A new theory to explain the tails of
comets is advanced by the French
physicist, NJ Houllevigue, in the Revue
Scientifique. 1t is natural to suppose,
he says, that the incandescent nucleus
of comet is throwing out electrons
into the extremely rarefied atmosphere
that surrounds it. The observations
of George Ellery Hale, the American
astronomer, prove that the sun be-
HAYES like a negatively electrified
body. Therefore he repels electrons,
which are negatively electrified bodies.
These particles so repealed would be
driven to that side IF the comet which
Is farthest from the sun. and by con-
tact with the molecules of the gaseous
and rarefied atmosphere would pro-
duce just the luminous appearance
that we call a comets tail
Every comets tail always extends
away from the sun. Arrhenius, the
Swedish astronomer believed that the
particles of the tail were repealed by
the light of the sun.

the makers OF red shoes and beaded
camel trappings-are mostly Arabs or
native Christians.

Bagdad. Walk with me an hour and
enjoy the shifting panorama. Let
yourself be drawn along the current OF
men, mules and granting camels. To
shut out the Arab sun vaulted roof
of brick is built, arching overhead,
turning the narrow, crowded streets
into long tunnels; through these sub
terraneanlike passages moves the null
titude, and for miles along each side
stretches the row of tiny stalls, hardly
larger than telephone booths, all
legged before each booth, his wares
piled high about him, sits the Jew or
Arab merchant. To and fro surges the
shouting, sitting human stream, stop
ping to paw at goods and haggle over
the price. Arab women, their brown
faces screened behind the eternal yash-
max, pull aside their veil with one
hand and with the other upset the or
dered piles of goods-just as their sis
ters in America do-and then pass on
to the next booth to talk down the
price.
Everyone YeiIs "BarIak."
Here, as in "Pipe Street" Picking,

wares seem to seek the same streets,
