The Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings Are
Really Complete Towns.
Many visitors to the prehistoric cliff
dwellings Of the Mesa Verde National
park, in southwestern Colorado. says a
government publication, are astonished
to find that what IS commonly de-
scribed as a dwelling is not properly
a dwelling at all, but village or city.
The celebrated Cli6 Palace is not a
palace. Neither is Spruce Tree House
a house, nor Balcony House a house.
Each Of these is complete town

earliest Indian tradition. was an Or
gained community. often Of consider
able size.
The arrangement Of houses in cliff
dwelling of the size Of Cliff Palace. for
example, is characteristic and init
mately associated with the distribution
of the social divisions Of the inhab-
,itants. The population was composed
Of a number Of units, possibly clans,
each of which had its own social or
SANITATION more or less distinct from
others, condition that appears in the
arrangement Of rooms. The rooms &C.
cupied by a clan were not necessarily
connected, although generally neigh
boring rooms were distinguished from
one another by their uses saaS

Cast and Wrought Iron.

In a paper recently read before the
Society Of Chemical Industry the state
ment was made that the strength of
cast iron was affected by the addition
Of wrought iron in the following pro-
portions: With 100 parts of cast iron
ten parts of wrought iron increase the
strength 2 per cent; twenty parts OF
wrought iron increase the strength
80 per cent; thirty parts Of wrought
iron increase the strength 60 per cent;
forty parts Of wrought iron increase
the strength only 80 per cent. The
maximum result is therefore produced
with 80 per cent wrought scrap.-1n-

LEGEND or THE ROBIN.
Indian Story Of How the Brave Bird
Got Ito Red Breast,

indian story Of How the Brave Bird
Got its Red Breast.
When white men first came far
across the sea to this country they
found many birds such as they had
never seen before. But they found one
which they liked best of all. 1t had
pretty red breast, and they called 1t
Goblin, for its red breast made them
think OF bird back in the old home
which they loved most of all.
The Indians had story about how
the robin got its red breast. They said
It happened long time ago, when
there was only one fire in all the cold
far north.
A hunter and his son kept the fire
burning day and night until the father
fell Ill, and the son had to watch the
fire all alone. The great white bear
was waiting for chance to put the
fire out 80 he could have all the north
to himself. He saw the boy fall asleep;
then he jumped on the fire with his
wet feet and put it out.
But gray robin saw him, and when
he was gone she pecked about in the
ashes till she found tiny live coal.
She famed 1t with her wings until it
blazed out and turned her breast red.
Then she few away to every hut In
the cold north. Wherever she touched
the ground fire sprang up. and soon
there were plenty of fires to keep the
people warm. After that the robins
breast was always red instead Of gray.

SENSES OF TREES.

Something Almost Human In Some OF
the Plants Actions.
Mr.. James Roadway, who is the cura-
tor Of the British Guiana museum and
an eminent botanist, declares that
plants have at least three Of our FIVE
feeling, taste and shetland
that certain tropical trees smell water
from distance and will move straight
toward 1t.
But trees not In the tropics can do as
well. A resident Of an old Scotch
mansion, says a writer in the Scots
man, found the waste pipe from the
house repeatedly choked. Lifting the
slabs in the basement paving, he dis
covered that the pipe was completely
encircled by poplar roots. They be-
longed to a tree that grew some thirty
yards away on the opposite side Of the
house.
~. Thus the roots had moved steadily
toward the house and had penetrated
below the foundation and across the
basement until they reached their goal,
the waste pipe, $50 feet away. Then
they had pierced q cement Joining and
had worked their way in long, taper
dng lengths inside the pipe for a con.
siderable distance beyond the house.
There seems something almost hu-
man in such unerring instinct and per-
severance in surrounding obstacles.

How The Roman Empire Grew.

,@ low the Roman Empire CREW.
Rome was founded 76O B. c., the
kings were expelled 500 B. G., and it
was not until 290 B. c., 400 years after
the founding of the city, that the Ro-
mans conquered their immediate neigh
bors, the Samnites, Latins, etc. 1t was
not until 268 B. c., following the defeat
of Pyrrhus, that Rome was supreme
in Italy, from the southern boundary
Of Cisalpine Gaul to the Sicilian strait.
For $50 years, from the foundation Of
the city, the Romans could stand on
the hills Of their city and almost look
across their entire territory, as 1t
stretched away only some twenty miles
on either hand. After the consolidation
Of their power In Italy, however, 1t

The Harm Of Damp Houses.

It Is dangerous to health and even
to life in a damp, moldy house or one
built over moldy cellar. Many years
ago the London Lancet in an article
on diphtheria traced the disease in GER
tain cases to the presence of certain
molds and fungoid growths which
seemed to be breathed into the throat.
Remember, one Of the best disinfec-
tants is lime. Moldy cloths, such as
shoes and other articles that are unfit
for use, should be destroyed at once.
