About two years ago the railroad man offered to take over the government lines, but the war department would not approve of the step, but he has announced that he will try again, and if the govern ment will not lease him the lines he will try to sell the war department his wireless plant which was built last year at cost of $40,000.

The rock garden, to be successful, must be along the lines approved by nature. 1t must not, in any point. resemble piece of masonry or other formal construction, says writer in the Minneapolis Journal. The most satisfactory location for it is at the foot of a gentle slope, where 1t can climb the deelivity and the rocks be given the appearance of jutting out from the hillside. But very excellent results may be achieved on flat sur faces If 1t Is remembered to let the rocks appear to crop out on the sur face rather than appear to be placed there for a purpose. The rock garden should have it's highest point or be- ginning at some natural or artificial boundary-a wall, or better still. elump of trees and shrubbery which will serve to mask it's origin. From this vantage point 1t may extend in a natural way to the limits marked out for it: here an isolated powder. here group of less pretentious stones and again a group of large stones may find room in their pockets for small tree The extent may be two or three rods in width at one end and gradually narrow until at the other it becomes an occasional rock on the lawn

 You have fo clean minds"

 The majority of them are.

Many Factors Affect Cost.

Certain preliminary estimates given in connection with this series of house plans are necessarily subject to change. For instance digging a cellar in rocky. hilly ground would cost more than the same job might cost else where Materials vary in cost as in- dividuai tastes differ Most of the houses shown in this series have been built about Boston. The esti- mates given. therefore. are of actual costs. Do not neglect, however. to allow for the inevitable extras" that crop up in the course of any building operation.
