Architects Held to Account,

1t is unusual for house. however
small. to be erected in France without
the service Of an architect, who not
only draws the plans. but actually gu.
perintends the work. Usually it Is he
who orders the building material and
assures himself that its quality Is up
to specifications and requirements.
The contractor and his workmen per.
form their duties In conformity with
the architects orders. and the latter,
who is usually man Of capital, ad.
vances the funds required In order
that the contractor need not wait for
payment until the building Is com.
pletod. Moreover, the French law i'm.
poses o. the architect q serious re-.
sponsibiIity, slnce he. as we'll as the
contractor, Is responsible for all de.
fects OF construction during q period
Of ten years.

REGiMENTAl COLORS IN PAWN
Odd Experiences Of British EmbIems
Once Greatly Priced by Those
Who Carried Them.

The discovery OF the long lost colors
OF the old 50th regiment in the garden
OF Huntington house. near, Chichester.
is a reminder of the strange fates that
have befallen so many Of these glor.
ious military emblems, London Tit
Bits remarks. The colors Of the S1st
foot-since disbanded-were captured
by American pirates during the war
Of independence and hidden away In
Ireland; the colors Of the goth regi.
ment were deliberately burnt prior TO
the surrender at Sari .oga to prevent
their capture by the enemy.
At Bergen-op.Zoom the Royal Scots,
to save their precious colors from fall
ing into French hands, sank them
deep IN the river, though the enemy
later flshed them out; and when the
second battalion Of the Sth foot was
disbanded at Portsmouth in 1916 the
colors were cut into small pieces and
distributed among the officers.
One Of the colors of the 1st North
amptonshire regiment, which had been
carried right through the peninsular
campaign was discovered some years
ago In a pawn brokers' shop, though
how it got there is a mystery to this
day. A similar uncertainty attaches
to a pair of old colors OF the I'd Bor-
der regiment, which were recovered
from a London pawn broker, who was
Offering them for sale, by Lord Archi-
bald Campbell in 1888.
Four years later four colors which
had accompanied the Gloucester regi-
ment in Egypt and in the peninsula
were recovered from a York pawn
broker. II appeared that, having been
bequeathed by an old colonel Of the
regiment to his son, they were ulti-
mately secured by servant. who, fall
ing on evil times. pawned them for
few shillings.

LIFEBOAT MADE OF PAPER
Invention Of Japanese That Should Be
Of Great Value In the Event
Of Shipwreck.

A paper lifeboat that can be packed
away In the space Of about one cubic
foot, but that, when inflated, is sea.
worthy and durable, Is the invention
of a retired admiral of the Japanese
navy, says Tit-Bits.
The boat is constructed from the
Japanese paper called hasikirazu,
which is treated chemically to make 1t
waterproof. The paper comes from
the mulberry tree. 1t is unusually
durable and possesses great strength
when the stresses are in the direction
Of the fiber.
A thin sheet of paper that is strong
when stressed In any direction Is
made by FASTING together two sheets
with the fibers crossing at right an.
giles. The first boat that the admiral
madu was merely a kind Of large Pill.
low with a depression in the center,
the whole being inflated with air. Be-
cause of the ease with which paper
can be punctured, 1t was necessary to
change the method Of construction, 80
several pipe-like bags were made and
placed side by side In the form OF a
raft, and that raft finally modified to
a craft something like a boat in shape
The result is a life-saving craft al.
most immune to wreck, for even II
one or two Of the pipes r punctured
or broken. the boat is still buoyant
enough to be seaworthy.
Owing to its strength and lightness
and Its waterproof qualities, the hashi
kirazu paper is evidently adapted tc
a wide range Of uses, among which are
the making Of coverings for aeroplans
wings and for dirigible balloons

THE HAM SLICER
BY A FILsoN.

II anybody had told Jimmy Byrne
five weeks before that on a certain
day Ia summer he would be lying In
a French trench among the men Of
the Foreign legion and aiming his riffs
at the ~periscope of a German sergeant,
he would have laughed. Yet such had
happened. Caught in France on the
outbreak Of the war, while on his way
home after a years tour on his
wealthy fathers money, he had sim
ply gone to see the fun. He thought
1t would be a matter Of a month or
two. So did many then.
The mail from home had been first
angry and pleading, then resigned.
His father, whose big house on Fifth
venue seemed strangely empty, tried
to get Jimmy out through the Ameri-
can ambassador. But Jimmy was OBJ
durate; he liked his taste Of war.
III you could only be here" his sis.
ter Mary had written. "Katz, the deli.
~catessen man, who hurried off to Ger.

herited ten thousand dollars, and his
wife Is frantic about him. The flowers
are prettier than ever this year. Our

What's that" asked Jimmy, as his
neighbor, interrupting his reading,
whispered something. He was a 81
Eantic Turk named Crusoe, a sample
of the miscellaneous population OF
that daredevil brigade. the Foreign

Bches?"
The Turk nodded. "In half an

bayonets fixed and a hundred rounds
extra In our belts. See! There's oul

1t was Jimmy's first chance Of see
ing anything but trench service. In
stantly the letter was thrust into his
pocket and forgotten. He molstenet
his lips; he felt a strange exultatiOn

something that made his flesh insensl

To be sure. the camp was In plain

Wasps and Ventilation,

An English gentleman lately took a
small wasps' nest, about the size Of
an apple, and, after stupefying its In.
mates, placed it in a large cage inside
Of his house, leaving an opening for
egress through the wall, according to
an exchange. Here the nest was en-
arged to a foot in diameter, holding
thousands of wasps. He was able o
to watch their movements, and he not

In hot weather from four to six
wasps were continually stationed at

space for entrance or exit, they Great

exceedingly rapid motion Of their
wings. After q long course Of this Wig.

weather only two wasps at q time were
