Clearing the Atmosphere.

In bis capacity Of dramatic critic Mr.
]. C0myns Carr, the author. wrote a
notice of the play OF Charles L." In
which Irving played under the man
agement. OF Mr.. Bateman. His crit
clsm deeply incensed the manager. In
order perhaps to find the opportunity
of informing the critic OF his disap
proval, the manager invited him to a
supper at the Westminster club on the
second or third night Of the produc'
ton. When be thought the fitting mo
ment had arrived Mr.. Batenan led the
conversation 10 the point al issue and,
eIsphatically banging the table with
his fist, declared 10 the loudest OF
tones that be did not produce mis- plays
at the Lyceum theater to plense Mr.
Comyns Carr. There was moments
awkward silence, which Mr.. Carr con-
fesses he did not feel quite able 10

wit Of the company with the happy re-
tort, well, dear boy. then you cant
be surprised IL they don't please him."

ALcOR, THE DOUBLE STAR.
Much Brighter Now Than II Was In
the Tenth Century.

Much Brighter Now Than II Was In
the Tenth Century.
The two stars. Mizar and Alcor, form
double star system which can easily
be perceived by the naked eye. This
was not the case formerly, as the
Arab used the resolution Of the system
into Its two components as test for
good eyes.
1t would seem. therefore, that this
star has increased in brightness since
the tenth century. a supposition which
is supported by the fact that IL Is not
mentioned by the ancients.
The history Of this star was familiar
to astronomers when 1t was found, In
1907, that Alcor is itself double star.
1t is now discovered by Harlow Shap-
ley that Alcor varies In brightness, the
variations having feeble amplitude
and short period. The spectrum type
of Alcor, which Is star A5-that Is to
say, white star with hydrogen pre-
dominating and the doubling of the
lines-annOunces variation Of the Al
gol type. by eclipse rather than con-
tinuous variation.
1t is supposed that there exists a
couple of elliptic stars very close to-
gether and inclined on their orbit In
such way that the mutual eclipse is
feeble or almost nothing, the variations
of brightness resulting from their
marked ellipticity. - Cleveland Plain

SUGAR MAKES YOU GROW.
That. II Seems. is Why Our Girls Are
Becoming Taller.

English and American girls just
reaching womanhood. and the next
generation in its early teens. are uu-
usually tall. standing a head or more
above their mothers. This has been
remarked on over and over again. and
has been the subject Of learned dis
quisitions. Yet no generally accepted
cause for the fact has been given up
to this time
Now comes a London physician Of
note and says that 1t is simply case
Of heightened sweetness. BY sweet
ness" In this particular case the ma
ture of the young ladies Is not referred
to. but their diet. In fact, statistics
of recent years show that Americans
and Britons Of both sexes are increas-
ing In height and weight. Why? The
physician referred to says 1t Is sugar.
Great Britain and America are the
sugar eating nations Of the world and
have quadrupled their saccharine con-
sumption In the last score Of years.
This Is now the best explanation OF
an accepted fact. and it will have to
stand until a better one comes along

When Coal Fires Were Barred.

Fires were at one time great Ink
ury in England, and even the right to
use the ire had been bequeatbed.
Thus the will of one Richard Byrchetr
(15l6) read:
II will vt sayd Nell my wyfe shal
have ye chamber she lyes In and lyb'
erte at ye flyer In the house; all yese
thyngs shal she have so long as she Us
wido."
Coal was first imported into London
at the end of the thirteenth century,
but the smoke produced by burning
1t In improperly constructed CRATES
caused such prejudice against 1t that
In 1906 a law was passed making 1t a
capital offense to burn coal In the city.

THE MODERN KITCHEN.

The large unhandy kitchen and the
old-fashioned unsanitary pantry are
fast disappearing from the modern
home and in their places we have a
compact, well-lighted and sanitary
workshop for the housewife who does
her own cooking.
Plenty of light and air are absolute
ly necessary in the kitchen and for
this reason it should be located in the
corner of the house whenever possible.
The northeast corner is best protect
ed from the hot sun and is the ideal
location for the kitchen
On the farm, or in any house where
many people enter by the back way,
it is a good idea to have the kitchen
open into rear hall rather than di-
rect to the back porch. This hall
should be convenient to the bathroom
and living-rooms, providing access to
these rooms without passing through
the kitchen.
In this hall the basement stair may
be located thus, making the basement
accessible from the interior OF the
house. This hall might also have a
shelf for the groceryman's packages.
making it unnecessary for him to en-
| ter the kitchen with them.
The kitchen should not open into the
bathroom, the living-room or bed
rooms except in the case of a servants S
bedroom. 1t is hard enough to keep
people out OF the kitchen without these
inducements and most women do not
want the other members OF the family
+, to use their kitchens for living room
When planning new kitchen or re-
modelling an old one, it is well to pro
vide hood over the range to draw the
greasy smoke and gases from the stove
into the chimney or out through the
roof. Any timer can make and install
a hood Of this kind that doesn't cost
much and it's cost will be saved many
times over in the labor of keeping the
room clean and the walls and ceilings
looking well.
Ashes flying about when the asl
pan is removed from the stove is an
other thing that dirties up the kitchen
An ash chute is easily arranged where
there is a basement under the room
and the ashes can pass directly from
the stove to a can or other receptacle

HINTS FOR THE MODERN HOME

large enough to hold several weeks
accumulation. A chute of this kind
must be made alright so the draft
through the fire can be controlled and
care should be taken to have it made
fireproof
Besides the ordinary built-in fixtures.
an ironing board cabinet is a handy
thing for the woman who does her
ironing in the kitchen. These can
easily be provided for in an old house
as well as new one. The ironing
board is built into a shallow cabinet
between two studs and it is necessary
only to open the door, pull down the
board, which is hinged at the bottom,
insert the cord in the socket near the
/ top of the cabinet and commence iron
ing. When not in use. the iron and
cord can be left right in the cabinet
ready for the next time.
I In addition to refrigerator. some
women have a cooler cabinet built
next to an outside wall in which they
! keep their butter, milk, etc. This kind
of cooler has screened vents at the top
and bottom and the shelves are made
of Stats, allowing the outside air to cir
culate through the entire cabinet.
A closet near the left hand or feed
ing end of the range is handy for hold
ing brOoms, mOps, coal pals shovels
and poker Sometimes the range boil
er can also be arranged in this closet
thus keeping the room cooler in sum
mer and preventing loss of heat from
the boiler.
1t should be remembered that light
is one Of the best as we'll as one Of the
cheapest of germ destroyers and it is
well to have the kitchen finished il
ligh tcOlors dark kitchen couldn't
possibly be sanitary, and the darl
walls give the room crowded, cell
like appearance.
Good cOlors for the kitchen arr
white. light blue, ivory, very pale
gray. etc. These, with nickel-platet
hardware for the lighting fixtures
atches and hinges, make very pleas
ing arrangement.
The writer will gladly answer an!
questions concerning puzzling point
. connected with building, decorating o
furnishing the home. Please enclos'
stamped addressed envelope with you
, questions.

Twenty-six million shots are being

OF the worlds foremost authorities
On copper" whose discussion of the
Importance of this metal is published
in the Times, with his name withheld
His estimate of 26,00O,OOO German
shots every "a hours is based on the
belief that the German firing line ex-
tends in all about $50 miles and the
conservatives" guess that 100000
Germans are taking part in the en-
gagements daily, to the extent at least
Of firing 20 shots each. This would be
a low average, he believes, as during
real engagements hundreds of shots
are fired by each man.
Since a rifle cartride, unloaded,

Of brass in this form would amount
to 6S7.57S pounds, or roundly 3O5 tons

allowance for the machine guns, which
spit out bullets every second.
Owing to the mud and water in
which so many of the battles have
been fought, the writer believed it was
doubtful that five per cent of the cart

melting.
