Water Cooled Without Ice.

IN semt-arid regions natives supply
themselves with cool water through
the use of porous earthen urns which
are placed where they al be exposed
to the action of the breezes; at the
same time the urns are protected from
the suns rays, being placed in a local
fly where there Is shade. The mois-
ture In the urn penetrating through
the jar to the surface accumulates
on the outside and Is eyaporated rap
idly by the action Of the hot winds,
and the water within cooled. The
same principle may be utilized by hav-
ing concrete tanks or receptacles for
water where ice cannot conveniently
be procured. Ordinary concrete Is
porous and because of this serves in
$the same capacity as if it were earth
&enWare. Such a container Is well
suited for s in harvest fields and on
golf courses.

the Christian Herald. One Of our mis-.
sionary ladies was down with an at
tack Of fever some time ago. This

unlearned, yet sympathetic natives,

nanny missionary" was 50 i'll. After
q time she left the station with a
bright idea in her head, and started
for the jungle. A little later she re-
turned with a large tropical leaf from
one Of the trees. Upon it were sew
eral big crawling green worms, which
she had caught and brought to the
sick missionary. She thought they
would be nice and tender for her to
eat during her illness.
