In fact, he is about twice as busy as
he has ever been before. The occa-

names without identity. Yet the cities
of Smyrna and Ephesus, the island OF
Mitylene, the dozens of historic vii

which were the center of history hun
dreds of years before the Christian

Many of the best stories among the

times as crafty as those of the ancient
Solomon.

He died soon after, and after divid-

widow, not satisfied with this amount,
complained to the rabbi (who always
appears in the role of the widows
protector). The rabbi ordered the
brother to appear before him.

Healthy Baby Smiles.

An interesting mental process with
physical manifestation which is found
in every healthy baby is smiling. 1t
is n remarkably carly one, too, and 4
child of month old will often show
a distinctly pleased smile when its
little face is patted or it is tickled.
At first the smile spreads very slowly
over the tiny features, then, as time
passes, flashes up on the face end dies
away again with equal CELEBRITY, and by
the time the first three months are
past is accompanied often enough by
little chuckles of giee.
But laughter comes later, often
much later, and many children never
really laugh until they are year old,
or even more. It is, indeed, very rare
to hear laughter before, the first six
months are accomplished, and when it
Is heard it should be regarded as a
symptom of unusual intelligence, may
be gratifying to mothers pride, but
most certainly not to be excited or
provoked.

Second Floor Plan.

as to cover all the cracks and joints
The same style of finish is carried
through the parlor and den.
The particular pattern is usually Sc.
lected by the owner of the building
Fashion dictates that inside woodwork
shall be plain, no beading whatever,
and very few curves. Many expensive
rooms are finished with plain, straight
bands of wood instead of holdings
The Dashboard, window and door cas-.
ings and the crown molding at the
ceiling may be light or heavy, but in
either case they are all plain, usually
with square corners.
The idea is to make the inside of

cleaning, both to save labor and to
prevent accumulations of dust, be.

manner in which floors and other

one. A great deal of the time this
door will be left open, which is a
benefit in the circulation Of air for
ventilation. Houses of this type are
so closely built that some means of
dsposing of the excess of air brought
in through the furnace is a problem.
In this plan the stairway door may
be left open, which will lead the air
t. the upper rooms. An open window
upstairs will complete the ventilating
system from the cold air box that sup.
plies the furnace through the differ
ent warm air pipes and registers, so
that the air will be kept in constant
| motion.
This is one of the valuable features
of warm-air furnace and one that is
seldom mentioned. In fact some
warm-air furnaces are set in such a
way as to take the air from the front
hall or some other room in the house,
so as to use the same air over and
over again. If house owners under
stood the advantage of taking fresh
air from outdoors they would refuse
to deal with furnace man who advo
Gated the self-contained inside circu-
lation of foul air Misguided furnace
men get the idea that a house may be
heated cheaper if the heating is done
with a smaller-sized furnace, by
cheating the inmates of the oxygen
that their lungs require.
Another feature about taking air
from the inside Of house is the dry
ness of the air that has been passed
several times through the furnace. Be-
sides the extra load of carbonic acid
gas which it contains 1t is robbed of
the moisture that helps to make out
door air so enjoyable.
There is a great difference in the
water that a warm-air furnace will
evaporate, according to the different
ways Of setting the furnace. Air taken
from outdoors contains considerable
moisture, so that with proper ventila-
tion it goes through the house with
out loading up with much moisture
from the evaporating pan. All fur
naces are provided with receptacles
for the evaporating of water into the
air that passes through the furnace.
The comfort Of house depends very
much on the amount of moisture con-
tanned in the house air.

floor or baseboards. There is less OBJ
lection to floor registers than former
ly, when the floors we're covered with
carpets. Still it is sometimes difficult
to select a place for floor register
which won't interfere with some arti-
Gle Of furniture. Usually wall regis
ters are placed near door, because it
is necessary to keep the furniture
away from the doors, anyhow
In this plan the furnace pipes would
work into the different partitions
without making trouble anywhere.
The plan of building eight rooms
into house as small as this is a
notable economy. The two upper
rooms are extra, as the space is taken
entirely from the roof This arrange
ment gives four bedrooms, besides the
den, which may be used for sleeping
purposes if necessary.
The regular living rooms, parlor,
dining room and kitchen, are laid out
in the most approved order The
kitchen is built in such way as to
save steps in the everyday work Of

wall, which makes the cellar about
seven and one-half feet from the eel

1t is usually a good plan to heat q
house of this kind with a warm-alr
furnace. 1t is the most economical
and satisfactory way of heating a
small, compact house. The furnace
pipes may be carried to the two up
per rooms with very little expense, so
that every room in the house may be
warmed by registers, either in the

| VI BdSOliue, ana IL Is IN tllS COnneC
tion that Doctor Rittmans discovery
will be of such great benefit. Not only
will it be available to the Standard Oi
company but it will be at the dis
posal of any reputable company in the
United States.
The patents, when they are issued
will be given absolutely to the people
of the United States, and measures
will be taken to insure that the new
process will never be allowed to any.
one to use as a monopoly.
The discovery as to gasoline is per.
haps exceeded in importance, how.
ever, by the discovery of the fact that
such products as toluol and benzol,
heretofore obtained from coal tar
alone, can now be made from petro-
leum.
In normal times there is produced
an enormous quantity of benzol and
toluol in Germany, where, as in all
Europe, the coke is made in by-product
ovens, and the tar and its associated
products saved In the United States
only about 25 per cent of the coke is
made in such a way as to save the by
products.
Benzol and toluol are raw materials
in the manufacture of many medicines,
dyestuffs and explosives. The fact
that the United States is apparently to
have a plentiful source of raw mate
rial for the making of these will prob
ably be stimulus to the building up
here of new industries. Up to the time
of the present war Americans pro-
duced only small fraction of the dye
stuffs actually used in American in
dustries. The fact that since the out
break of the war the United States has
been unable to obtain an adequate
supply of dyes has had already an
effect in causing effort to be made for
launching an industry for the produc-
tion of dyestuffs.
The Rittman discoveries are also of
the utmost importance as to eXplo-
sives. In case of a war in which the
United States would be shut off from
an outside supply of benzol and toluol,
it would be able to produce for the
use of the army and navy from its
large supplies of petroleum practically
any amount of these materials desired
Many of our modern drugs and medi-
cines are made directly or indirectly
from benzol. The production of this
latter material at cheap price would
be a great stimulus to the building up
of a large synthetic drug industry in
this country. At the present time Ger
many has a monopoly in this business.
The man who has made these no
table discoveries was born in San
dusky, Ohio, December 2, 1888.
