A study of the second-f floor plan will
show that every square foot of floor

four bedrooms and four clothes closets

shutting the light from any window
and without any useless corners. Such
a splendid arrangement of rooms is
considered quite a triumph of skill on

Probably the most economical house
design for the nothern sections Of the
country is square-built twO-story
house with q good basement. 1t is .
COOL sensible way to build and It
solves the heating problem in winter
with greater satisfaction than any
other style Of house known to the
American builder.
The principle of the circulation Of
warm air applies splendidly in q COM
pact two-story house. The tendency
of hot air is to rise, because hot air
is lighter than cold air. In applying
this principle the cold air is taken in
from outside through the cold air boxes
and is sent through the furnace to the
rooms on the first floor during the
whole "a hours. The upstairs regis
ters usually are closed during the
daytime in cold weather because the
surplus heat from the first floor finds
its way to the upper rooms through
the stairway. The upper rooms are
also warmed to a certain degree
through the floors. This is written with
q warm air furnace in mind. The same
principle applies to certain extent
when the hot water system of heating
Is employed.
The house shown in this design is

The latest warning OF this peril to

1T is fortunate for man that the in

The fecundity of many insects is
enormous. Huxley estimated that,

the equilibrium which nature has pro-

Up until comparatively recent times
great quantities of insects were used
for medicine. for dyes and so on. but
this use has steadily lessened. and
with the lessening naturally the in
sects have increased.
The practice of the control Of insect
pests by their natural enemies is one
of modern times, for the earliest rec

commercial scale. dates back by rs
that all nature Is In a state Of eQuili-
brium-that is to say. that all life, In
its native home, is kept in check by
other forms of life which prey upon
it. More than thirty distinct parasites
and seven kinds Of predatory beetles
have been introduced into the United
States to wage war on the gypsy and
brown-tail moths. says Professor
Ealand.
1t will be recognized. says Profes-
sor Ealand. that unless . parasite

its power of controlling the latter
must be very greatly diminished. In
this connection nature has come to
the rescue in a marvellous manner by

disease of insects. These fungoids are
scattered over large plantations with

Railways Say Consumers Should Pay
Nickel More for Coal.

Chicago, March 23.-Hauling coal
is one of the most profitable bust
nesses the railroads do. Eugene Nc

Louis and San Francisco railroad, SO
testified today at the interstate COM
merce commission hearing of the Al
western roads application for an in
crease of freight rates on certain
commodities. The railroads are ask
ing for an increase in the rates on soft
coal, averaging 1876 cents ton from
mines in certain states west of and in
Guiding Indiana. From this increase
Mr.. McAuliffe testified the railroads
would be able to add $1.226,122 to
their annual income. Based on the
population of the states affected the
witness said each consumer would
have to pay about five cents a year
more for coal. c. c. Wright, counsel
railway originally has asked for
an increase on hard coal rates also,
but owing to the inability of the roads
to prepare their case on this commod-
ity, the application as pertains to hard
coal would be withdrawn.
Mr.. McAuliffe presented a state
rnent representing one years business
based on check of waybiIls in seasons
of rush and slack traffic on roads
which originate: 86.5 per cent of the
coal originating in the territory.
THE average weighted haul said
Mr.. McAuliffe, lis 3O3 miles, while the
average gross revenue is $1.48 per ton
under the present rate. This yields
4.89 mills per net ton or 3.42 mills per
gross mile, while if 80 per cent of the
empty return haul is included the rev.
enue is only 2.S4 mills per gross ton
mile.
1.-The averge increase asked in the
western territory is 1885 cents per ton,
which would add about LAO of one
cent per net ton mile to the cost of
hauling The exact addition would be
1862 mills per net ton mile, .1S3 mills
per gross ton mile, and .145 mills per
gross ton mile if 80 per cent of the
return haul is included"
