Chinese Locks.

The earliest locks known to man
were of Chinese make. Although it
Is impossible to tell the exact date Of
those still extant, they are wonderful
~ well made and as strong as any
manufactured in Europe to the middle
of the eighteenth century. The Chi
nese locksmith of today uses exactly
the same kind Of tools that his fore
fathers had, for they are very simple
and primitive. He carries all his i'm
pedimenta in two cabinets, sitting on
n and working at the other. When
he has finished all the work available
in one neighborhood he fastens the two
cabinets to a bamboo rod and slings
it over his shoulder. He tramps
through the towns burdened in this
way and stops when he is called, much
as a scissors grinder or umbrella
member does in our Countrywide
World Magazine.

In q Quandry.

In a foothili California district there
is a nan who uns a small ferry across

cents for one transportation of a single
team and forty cents for a double one.
One afternoon in the early days of
automobiling a city man drove up to
the ferry in a touring car and at
tempted to go ON to the boat, but was
held up by the captain, who told him
to wait. Finally. after the boat had
crossed the river two or three times.
the motorist began to get impatient
"Can't take We over yet" answered the
captain in response to the motorists
demands. Yer the fust n O them

"Nope: I've sized ye up fore and aft,

Ordinary Ventilation.

Authorities compute that each adult
person in a Dol requires ut least
thirty cubic feet of fresh air per min
ute to maintain a fair standard of
purity: hence the air changes required
per hour primarily depend upon the
number Of workmen in the shop. TO-
gether with its cubical contents. If
the rooms are large and the workmen
few the necessary air changes per
hour are lessened, SO that this figure
depends for it's determination upon
local conditions. ]. Byers Holbrook
allows Zone change of air per hour

increasing this allowance for corridors

nate variously from a fraction of one
change to as high as three changes per
