disposing of the excess of air brought in through the furnace is a problem.
 In this plan the stairway door may be left open, which will lead the air to the upper rooms An open window upstairs will complete the ventilatine system from the cold air box that sup plies the furnace through the differ ent warm air pipes and registers, SC the air will be kept in constant motion.
 This is one of the valuable features of a warm-air furnace and one that is seldom mentioned. Tn fact, some warm-air furnaces are set in such way as to take the air from the front hall or some other room in the house SO as to use the same air over and over again. If house owners under stood the advantage of taking fresb air from outdoors they would refuse to deal with a furnace man who advo cated the self-contained inside circu lation of foul air Misguided furnace men get the idea that house may be heated cheaper if the heating is done with smaller-sized furnace, by cheating the inmates of the oxyger that their lungs require.
 Another feature about taking air from the inside of house is the dry ness of the air that has been passed several times through the furnace. Be sides the extra load of carbonic acic gas which it contains it is robbed oi the moisture that helps to make out door air so enjoyable.
 There is a great difference in the water that a warm-air furnace vii evaporate. according to the different ways of setting the furnace Air taker from outdoors contains considerable moisture. so that with proper ventila ton it goes through the house with out loading up with much moisture from the evaporating pan. All fur naces are provided with receptacles for the evaporating of water into the air that passes through the furnace The comfort of a house depends very much on the amount of moisture con , tained in the house air.

 An eight-room cottage house 21 feet 6 inches by 40 feet in size. exclusive of the front porch, is shown in this perspective and floor plan.
 The heavy front porch gives this cottage house a rather massive ap- pearance as you see it from the street. The porch is by 24 feet and is GOV cred by a gable end roof with consid- erable projection of cave, that pro tects the porch in all kinds of weather.
 The plan of building two solid piers about six feet up from the ground with short wooden pillars to support heavy arch that reaches from one pier to the other across the front entrance helps to establish a solid design that looks much more ex- pensive than it really is.
 The porch foundations are entirely separate from the cellar wall. The pier foundations reach below frost, but the work above ground is made of wood covered with metal lath and plastered with stucco. The work is solid and strong. but is much cheaper than concrete or stone.
 The same character of finish is used on all outside parts of the front porch as well as the side walls and dining window extension.
 When a good quality of metal lath is used and the first coat of stucco contains plenty of hair this kind of finish may be permanent and satis- factory.
 The main part of the house is plain, square in build and covered with a gabled roof. The manner of building is to construct stone wall up above grade line. The framework is plank frame construction above the wall. To get the necessary headroom in the basement the floor joists are started

of gasoline. and it is in this connec- will be of such great benefit. Not only will it be available to the Standard Oil company, but it will be at the dis posal of any reputable company in the United States.
 The patents. when they are issued. will be given absolutely to the people of the United States. and measures will be taken to insure that the new process will never be allowed to any one to use as monopoly.
 The discovery as to gasoline is per haps exceeded in importance, how ever, by the discovery of the fact that such products as toluol and benZol. heretofore obtained from coal tar alone, can now be made from petro- leum.
 In normal times there is produced an enormous quantity of benzol and toluol in Germany. where. as in all Europe, the coke is made in by-product ovens, and the tar and its associated products saved. In the United States only about 25 per cent of the coke is made in such way as to save the by products.
 Benzol and toluol are raw materials in the manufacture of many medicines, dyestuffs and explosives. The fact that the United States is apparently to have a plentiful source of raw mate rial for the making of these will prob ably be a stimulus to the building up here of new industries. Up to the time of the present war Americans pro- duced only small fraction of the dye stuffs actually used in American in- dustries.. The fact that since the out break of the war the United States has been unable to obtain an adequate supply of dyes has had already an effect in causing effort to be made for launching an industry for the produc- tion of dyestuffs.
 The Rittman discoveries are also of the utmost importance as to explo- sives. In case of a war in which the United States would be shut of from an outside supply of benZol and toluol, 1t would be able to produce for the use of the army and navy from its large supplies of petroleum practically any amount of these materials desired. Many of our modern drugs and medi. i cines are made directly or indirectly from benzol. The production of this latter material at a cheap price would be great stimulus to the building up of a large synthetic drug industry in this country. At the present time Ger. many has monopoly in this business. The man who has made these no. table discoveries was born in San- dusky. Ohio. December 2, 1883.

IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There will Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch
Ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for q number of years,
says:-
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels of wheat. the pro-
duction OF the countries at war, tied
up. This Is about onehalf the worlds
total production Of wheat. which il
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce q one-half crop In
the coming year. deficit Of one bill.
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filling
OF this deficit of one billion bushels
Will rest are the United States. Can.
ada. and Argentina. The combined
output Of these three countries Is only
1.249.000,000 their exportable surplus
would OF course be much less, so IL
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and 1t
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can. for
when the war Is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo process OF rehabilitation.
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration Of peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-producing coun.
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices.
and 1t may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she Is under the protec.
ton Of the British flag. and she will
not be molested upon tho water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words. she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
II the summing-up as made by this ex.
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
OF the Dominion Of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands OF the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities. but
cattle. pigs. sheep and horses also do
we'll. The climate Is admirably suited.
