A Children's Museum.

A department recently added to the
Brooklyn Institute of Art and Science is
the children's museum. A special decent
has been appointed to take charge of it.
Children will no longer be permitted to
wander aimlessly through the rooms, de-
irving little benefit or pleasure from their
visit to the institute. A special effort
will be made to show them things of in
terest and make them regular visitors
One of the new features is the an
chronological room, where models are
shown of the people in the five different
zones, thus illustrating their geography
in a manner thas will not be easily for
gotten The groups are designed to show
of the human race.
Another room has been fitted up as a
bird calendar. In it are models changed
from month to month, indicating the birds
which are due in the Brooklyn parks,
so that the children may be able to
recognize each feathered friend as IL
appears. They are encouraged to study
the birds, and information contributed
by children is being written out and
placed in the room.

The Azores,

These islands. lying 1000 miles east

Atlantic Politically they are a part or
Portugal but in customs and appear
ance they are as remote from modern
civilization as their situation is from
the rest of the world.
All of the islands lift steeply from the
sea in broken hills to peaks. some of
which are over 1000 feet high. There
is no level land. except in coves and
beaches along the foot of the cliffs that
make the coast line. Little rock-~ahsd

that there is strong money and

gold coin and the weak money is the

Our Private Power Plant.

John H Van Deventer. in the Engineering Mag
aZine.
The most complicated manufacturing
plant that ever existed Is the human
body as controlled under the scientific
management of the brain and nervous
system. No factory ever boasted
more efficient producer plant for con-
verting fuel into energy. No plant ever
had so well designed pumping sys-
tenn. nor one SO perfect for the dis
posal of waste and sewage. Talk Of
heating and ventilating up-to-date. or
interdepartment telephone. The best
that our modern science can put into
our shops is crude indeed as compared
with that furnished by the Great De-
signer. Suppose that you went to a
pump manufacturer with the following
specification:
Wanted, pump with capacity of one
quarter gallon a minute. to handle
warm salty fluid, to work for seventy
years night and day without shut
per minute Must be guaranteed to
operate for the full period of time
without repairs or adjustments, to re-
quire no attention: must have auto
matte control and contain its own mo-
tive power, and must have a duty per
million foot-pounds superior to the
best triple-expansion high-duty unit
ever made.
Do you think the manufacturer
would bid for the job? If he were a
timid man he would probably agree
with you and tell you to come around
next week, meanwhile edging You
toward the door before your insanity
took a violent form. Or il he were
not afraid of lunatics he would say.
You poor bug, such a pump as you
speak of never existed nor ever will
except in, the brain of a perpetual-m
ton freak such as l see before me-"
Which shows how much he knows
about it. for both you and he carry
just such a pump around with you.

Pot-grown strawberry plants set out
during July and August will be in full
bearing next spring. Such plants may
be started by any one who has a
strawberry bed of desirable varieties,
the process being simple and easy in
the extreme. FIJI two-inch flower pots
with good soil and sink the pots close
to the plants in the bed until the rims
are within half an inch of the surface
of the earth. The pots should be filled
to the tops with soil, and the soil must
be kept properly moist. Lay the run
ners from the plants across the tops Of
the pots and weight them down with
small clod of dirt, SO that the run
ner is pressed into the soil in the pot.
The runner will shortly form rootlets
at the point of contact with the moist
soil, when it should be clipped off on
the side nearest the parent plant. The
newly started plant must be properly
watered, and when it is growing
thriftily it must be removed to larger
pot-say, a four-inch one-f1l1ed with
good earth. Keep these new plants
growing until August, and then set
them out in the new bed. If the new
plants are kept over winter. in hot
houses, or even in well protected cold
frames not subject to freezing, and set
out next summer they will make even
thriftier plants.

Tenting No Longer Popular.

Jim and Ned and Buster" Robinson
have lost their fondness for life in the
wilds as thoroughly as 1 have lost my
affection for hogs. They no longer
are sleeping in their tent. down in the
edge of the woods. They had an expe-
rience last Monday night that some
how or another has imbued them with
a pronounced liking for their beds at
home. The boys will not admit that
they are afraid to sleep in their tent.
They insist that they merely no longer
care to do SO.
The story of Monday nights adven-
ture never has been thoroughly clari-
fed. About all Jane and 1 know is that
some time after midnight all three of
the boys came bursting into the house,
painting and wildeyed. For the most
part they were attired in their pa jamas,
and they carried in their arms what
ever of their clothing they had not
dropped by the wayside.
Jim said it was bear. Ned thought
more likely it was lion. "Buste-" was
undecided whether it was a dragon
or the Old Harry himself But the boys

came no1ses, means, groans, snorts and
growls. The boys didn't wait to in
vestfgate. They grabbed whatever of
their clothing was closest at hand and
beat it for the house.
Postponed the Investigation.
Jane wanted me to go down to the
woods and investigate, but L couldn't
see any sense in that From the win
dow we could see that the lantern at
the entrance to the tent was still burn
ing. AS the boys were safe and the
camping outfit seemed intact, there
didn't appear much chance of dire dis
aster.

in our immediate neighborhood. Lions,
of course. were out of the question, un-
less they had escaped from some cir
Gus. | don't believe in dragons, and
as to the Old Harry-well, that is a
matter every man has to settle for
himself.
With this creed of faith before me, 1
was quite willing to wait until day
light came before beginning an inves-
tigation.
With the coming Of dawn, bears and
lions and dragons vanished into the
realm of dreams. The cause of all the

TAKING 4 FAMILY
BACK TO THB SOIL
Being the Experiences Of a Gov
ernment Clerk Who Sets Out
to Lower the High Cost Of
Living.

Pm not nearly SO fond Of hogs as
thought I was. In fact. have no af-
lection for hogs at all. They're pesky
and stupid and contrary creatures, and
when they are made into hams and ba-
con and sausage they have fulfilled an
appropriate destiny. How 1 ever could
have looked upon them as likable pets
and desirable companions surpasses all
understanding.
1t is only since last Wednesday MORN
ing that 1 have had a just appreciation
of hogs and the evil that turks within
them. l now accept with but single
qualification the story of the devils that
were cast out of certain ancient peoples
and made to enter into the swine. The
only part Of the story I reject is that
which has the swine plunging into the
sea, whereby the said devils were al
legged to have been drowned. l know
they are doing business today, at the
same old stand.
When Jim came bursting into the
house Wednesday morning while l was
at breakfast and announced that the
hogs were out of their pen and in the
corn field l was annoyed, but not
greatly alarmed. AS they had been
safely In their pen when I fed them
half an hour earlier l knew they could
not have done serious damage either to
their own stomachs or to the corn
merely sent Ned out to help Jim drive
them out, and proceeded with my break

Boys Failed at Job.

When it came time, though, for me to
start for the station and l found the
horse had not been hitched up and that
the boys still were out there fooing
with the hogs, i was peeved-not so much
at the hogs as at the boys. 1 assumed
that they were pulling off some "crcus
stunt perhaps, and l went out to put
an end to the performance.
The boys Informed me, with earnestness
and no little heat, that they had done
their best, but that the hogs refused
absolutely to be driven. That vexed me
still more. l was dressed for the office
and didn't like to get out on the culti-
waited land in my office shoes, but
couldn't go and leave the hogs in the
corn field. ] never had heard Of hog
laundering himself. but after having lost
a calf and nearly losing the COW through
their overindulgence in green foods

long the hogs would have done more
damage than their worth.
I looked at my watch and saw that

back in their pen. And in town / could

Imagine man milking a COW about
the size of a cat. and you have the pie
ture. An ant is many times as large as
an aphid, but he seems able to get a
satisfactory meal when he captures his
COW and milks her. The only differ
ence between an ant milking and a
man milking is that the ant uses his
mouth instead of his hands. 1t may be
that when ant civilization has devel-
eped to the point of tin pals the ant

Putting on her garden hat and TAX

table, she started toward the pigpen.
1t was sheer curiosity that prompted
me TO follow her.
Piggy. Piggy Jane called, taking
her stand inside the pen. Piggy. Pig

At the sound of her voice the pork
ers lost their interest in green corn
and pricked up their ears.
Piggy! Piggy. Piggy" she repeated.
Helter, skelter they came. showing
a burst of speed that would have made
their razor-back cousins of the south
look like ice wagons. They crowded
through the gate. which Jim promptly
closed. and the job was done.
What would there be, in such a situa-
ton. left for man to say? I put what
graciousness I could in the congratu-

Boys Get Object Lesson.

The boys had their object lesson in
determination. all right, but it was
the hogs, not me, that gave it to them.
They liked that corn and had made up
their minds not to leave the field until
they had eaten to the limit of their
almost limitless capacities The in
genuity they displayed first brought to
my mind the biblical story of the
devils. Instead Of keeping together, so
that they might be herded and driven
toward the pen, they strung out as far
apart as was possible in a four-acre
field. In trying to round them up the
boys and l had to hive some regard
for the corn and in order to avoid
tramping 1t down had to keep between
the rows as much as possible. The
hogs had no such regard. They cut
across and doubled back on US, and
resorted to as many tricks as fox
pursued by hounds. After quarter of
an hour of vain endeavor l gave up the
herding idea and told the boys we would
take them one at time.
The three against one plan worked
better. and we finally got one of the
pigs in the pen. where he ran about
squealing his Indignation while we
went to bring in his brothers. At Jim's
suggestion we armed ourselves with
long sticks, and soon had the second
hog at the gate, which Ned opened that
hog. noting that the line had been
weakened by Ned's absence, made a
break, shot between Jim and me, and
was back in the corn field. Ned, with a
whoop of dismay, came rushing to our
assistance, forgetting to shut the gate
of the pen. The first hog was quick to
take advantage Of the opportunity, and
when l looked around he was cavort-
ing gleefu1ly toward the far corner of
the field.
