MAKING Il Swim.

There is a story told that some
years ago the keeper of the lighthouse
on Tory island Tan Englishmanl got
married to London girl. and his wife
had. among other effects, piano sent
after her to her new home. BY and
by the news reached the island that
the instrument was on the mainland.
and two islanders were dispatched in
a lugger to fetch it across. The light
house keeper and his wife wer4 wait
ing the arrival of the piano which was
to brighten the long winter evenings:
but to their disappointment they saw
the boat returning without the instru-
ment.
Where is the piano?" shouted the
lighthouse keeper when the lugger had
got within hailing distance.
Its all right replied one of the
boatmen; sure we're town it be

TIME OCCUPIED BY BOOKS
Proof That Other Things Than Sport

Mind of Boy.

Out-of-door sports have come to fill
a great place in the lives of boys, as
they should. but it is mistake to sup
pose that boys no longer read
Franklin K. Matthews. chief scout Ii
brarian of the Boy Scouts. who has
been investigating the matter, reports
that in the schools of a large city,
where the question was asked the
children as to what they did between
Friday afternoon and Monday. it was
discovered that the largest percentage
of them spent their time in read
ing
In another city one boy sent in the
titles of SO books which he had read
during his summer vacation; and those
who watch the habits of boys in camI
or at hotels cannot fail to be struck by
the fact that as soon as the exercise
hour is over the reading begins.
In spite of increased activities. read
ing is still the principal recreation o
host of boys.
And many of these boys are still
reading the nickel novel, which ha
taken the place of the dime novel o
a generation ago.

~ UAYAQUIL, like New York, is
one of the cities which had
Y to be. Chicago might have
been somewhere else and
likewise Paris, London, Vienna, or
Berlin, but not Guayaquil. No intel
l1gent scheme of world building. no
readjustment of countries or of boun-
daries, no racial conquest could mini
mize the importance of the spots
whereon Guayaquil and New York
stand. These spots are international
commercial nodes, such because the
conformation of the oceans and the
continents being what it is, at these
points the lines of travel meet and
cross. But more than this it is here
that the lands and the seas join on
terms of the greatest mutual advan-
tage in all that goes to pay tribute
to mans commercial activities, says
the Bulletin of the Pan-American
Union.
Guayaquil has all the natural ad-
vantages. It is at the meeting of the
sea routes. Only San Francisco and
Panama along the whole Pacific coast
Of North and South America can rival
1t in this respect. But the three oc-
cupy separate spheres and so are not
rivals in any sense. Guayaquil is on
the only navigable river from middle
California to Cape Horn, and this riv-
er. or rather fluvial system, furnishes
highways to all parts of a large and
compact area of the most fertile and
productive agricultural lands in west
ern South America, an area of ap-
proximately $4,000 square miles. Down
and into this zone lead the best trails
from the high lands of Ecuador. Peru.
and Colombia.
Gulf Of GuayaquiI.
The Gulf of Guayaquil is the largest
opening along the whole west coast of
South America. 1t is shaped nearly
like an equilateral triangle with one
tip bent. The straight side. running
nearly north and south. extends about
140 miles from Cape Blanco in Peru

This is the time of year to build an
icehouse. A happy. goodhearted
neighbor admitted In his comical way
that he had always wanted an ice
house-in summer-but there was no
Ice at that time to fill IT, In winter
It was cold enough without 1t.
Every farm should have an ice
house. and every farm should have q
dairy house There is economy in
combining the two. The illustrations
show the perspective and floor plan OF
combination farm icehouse and
dairy, large enough to handle the milk
from a good-sized herd of mixers.
The icehouse is large enough to hold a
cube Of Ice 16 feet in diameter To
keep well there should be considerable
bulk OF ice together in one block.
In this design the dairy wing is
built to the south. which helps to
protect the south side of the icehouse
from the hot summer sun. Also. q
dairy room needs considerable sun
shine. so It works right both ways.

two capes the land and water lines of
the two remaining sides converge
northeast and southeast, respectively.
to a point about .wo-thirds the alti-
tude of the triangle. Here the south
ern line running northeast bends
sharply to nearly due north and the
northern line running southeast bends
northeast This change of direction
produces the turned-over tips pointing
north. At the base of the smaller tri-
angle forming the tip lies the island
of Puma. Behind Puma is the inner
bay or greater harbor of Guayaquil.
The extreme tip of the small triangle
loses itself in the Guayas river. The
Guayas river itself. however, is delta
and one of the two such that flow
into the turned-up tip of the Gulf of
Guayaquil.
The city of Guayaquil and the les
ser port is situated about 33 miles up
the Guayas river at a point where
this river divides into two main
branches, both coming down from
the north, the Daule and the Bodegas.
Above Guayaquil these two rivers
each divide and subdivide into innu-
merable branches running out fanlike.
So that the Guayas river system is
shaped somewhat like an hourglass
but with the one end many times
larger than the other. Guayaquil is at
the neck of the hourglass, where the
main stems of the Daule and the
Bodegas join to form the Guayas. But
almost Immediately as it flows south
the Guayas begins to divide and re-
divide into a delta flowing into the
closed-in end of the gulf. What we

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

the cause is often given as heart dis
