lot should be large enough to provide
an ample lawn for flowers and shrub

flowers and shrubs, they should be so
placed that they will be in harmony

This cottage is 20 feet wide and SO

features of the design is the porch con-

The bungalow, like war, ia one Of
the ideas savage races gave to civili-
cation, but, unlike war, is one of the
good things to be fostered and de-
veloped. 1t evolved itself naturally in
different tropical countries that had no
communication with one another. The
black man of Africa's 1ungles, the
brown man of India or the Cannibal
islands, both built bungalows very
much alike. White men appropriated
the idea, and have made various i'm
provements in plans and materials, so
that IN regions of widely varying
climate, from the moss-covered tundras
Of the far North to the sage brush
plains Of the desert, or the lily-decked
regions of the tropics, the bungalow is
today a prominent style of residence.
1t is the house of all houses for those
who like airy nghtness without and
cozy comfort within. For those of
moderate means, especially, it appears
ideal--not too large nor too small
the maximum of space for the mini
mum of cost. 1t has taken deep and
lasting hold on American taste, which
is reflected in many different ways.
Architects these days are applying
themselves assiduously to the prob.

The German cruiser Dresden, the

Buenos Aires.
The naval division commanded by
Admiral Sturdee is understood to in
clude nine warships, notably the Brit

gable.
The destruction Of a majority OF
the ships of the German squadron had
an immediate effect on insurance
rate and the government rate
for insurance of cargies against
war risk was reduced from two
guineas to one and one-half guineas
per cent. One member of Lloyds who
recently has not been accepting any
business resumed operations.
The impression prevails among
naval men that Admiral Won Spec,
realizing that he could no longer keep
out Of touch with the British and
Japanese fleets patrolling the Pacific,
decided to enter the Atlantic and make
run for home, In the hope that at
least some Of his ships would get
past the British. This move, it is
said, was anticipated by the Admiralty
and Vice-Admiral Sturdee was sent
south to head of the Germans before
thew could get well in to the Atlantic
ana scatter, which would have made
their capture more difficult.

Committee advocating his two-battle-

EDISON PLANT BURNED.
Loss Put At 100000 With 100000
Insurance.


West Orange, N. Fire destroyed
virtually the entire main plant of the
Edison Company here. causing dam
age estimated at nearly $7,0O0,000,
with insurance that is expected to re-
duce the loss approximately $1,000
900.
An entire square block of modern
reinforced concrete buildings which
were supposed to be fireproof was
burned out by the flames. The only
edifice saved in the block was the
laboratory. containing valuable scien-
tific machinery under the immediate
superintendent of the inventor,
Thomas A. Edison. Especial efforts
were made to save this structure.
1t is estimated that about 5000 men
and women will be temporarily thrown
out of work because OF the fire. In all
about 1000 persons were employed at
the plant, but as the storage battery
building, across the street from the
main plant, was saved, with other
buildings nearby, it will be possible to
keep something more than half the
force employed.
