Pure DRINKING Water.

The geologic resource OF greateSt
value to the health of communities Is a
supply of pure drinking water. 1t is
generally recognized that number OF
diseases, prominent among which are
typhoid fever and amoebic dysentery-
a disease more common in tropical eli
mates. but found also in the United
States-are contracted through contain
mated water or contaminated food.
Therefore supply of pure water will
eliminate one of the sources Of such
infection.
1t is highly desirable to obtain sup
plies of domestic water from sources
other than the shallow wells, some OF
them open, that are found near many
houses The water obtained from deep
wells has percolated through sands and
other material for so great distance
that its impurities have been removed
by filtration, and 1t possesses SAM
tary value that cannot we'll be oyeres
timated, for such water is free from
the bacteria causing typhoid fever and
the protozoa causing amoebic dysen-
terry, and its use obviates the necessity
for shallow wells that may serve as .
breeding place for Anopheles, the mos
quito to which malarial infections Is

FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Worlds Markets Supplied With Dates
Which Are Grown on Spot Be-
Iieved to Be the Site.

The London markets and stalls are
covered with dates which come from
the Garden of Eden
A palm tree yields approximately
400 pounds of fruit annually, which
represents an income of about G8. It
takes nearly eight years to attain this
state of perfection, but when once
reached, it continues for almost q
century.
Dates can be prepared in many
ways, and are packed according to the
country to which they are being sent.
For instance, dates destined for
America are hand-picked, as the Amer.
leans will have no others; the Indians
like them sun-dried; while we like
them wet" Our dates are prepared
in a special manner-they are piled
on mating and trampled into a mass.
The date is not the only product of
the palm. The stem furnishes a kind
of timber, and the fibers, twisted, be-
come rope. Then, again, the buds are
quite fit to eat and are considered by
some to be delicacy; and peasants,
too poor to afford a house, weave the
fronds into mating, and so make
quite serviceable habitation. Crushed
date-stones form food for the CATTLE

WATER WHEELS OF SYRIA
Move on Simple Principle But Do the
Work Required Of Them Most
EffectualIy.

Hama, in northern Syria, referred
to in the Old Testament as Klamath
the Great, is justly famous for it's
huge water wheels. The city lies some
Ito miles northeast of Damascus on
the River Orontes, and upon its banks
are four large water wheels used for
drawing water for irrigating purposes
and also for supplying the town.
These wheels are driven by the flow
of the river on what Is known as the
undershot principle; that is to say,
the wheel is moved by water passing
beneath it.
The largest has a diameter of Is
feet. Upon it's outer rim is series
Of buckets which raise the water and
deposit it in the aqueduct at the top.
Like its companions the wheel is built
of mahogany, with an axle of iron.
The creaking of the wheels is inces-
SAINT day and night, year in and year
out, for they never stop.
1t is interesting to note that wheels
built on this same principle are in
actual use In this country, in one of
the fertile valleys Of California.-Pop-

John Adams a Hard Loser.

John Adams, second president OF
the United States, was not a good
loser. He wanted another term, and
worked hard for it. None of the can
didates received majority Of the
electoral votes, and the election was
thrown into the house of representa-
tives. But Adams had no choice
there, for he was third in the race,
and only the two having the highest
number of electoral votes could be
voted for Thus the choice lay be-
tween Jefferson and Burr, and Jeffer-
son won. Adams was very much dis
gruntled, and did everything in his
power to make things unpleasant for
his successor He filled every vacant
Office he could lay his hands on, so
as to leave as little patronage as pos
sible for Jefferson. Not only so. but
in the closing hours of his administra-
ton he and his party associates ere
ated twenty-three new judgeships, for
which there was no necessity, and
worked till the stroke of midnight on
March Sd filling out and signing COM
missions for these midnight judges"

FAIRIES IN CHILD's ROOM
Grownups Make Mistake When They
Laugh at the Little Ones
Imagination.

1t is certain, Of course, that II any
one Of US, however dull, came into the
child's playroom and found standing
there beside him tall and simmer
ing figure of fairylike, miraculous
beauty, decked in shining iris and
frosty, glistening gold-it is quite GER
tain we would step softly, with aston
ishment; would gaze mutely with
amazement and watch with wonder,
Laura Spencer Porter writes in the
Mothers Magazine. Not one Of US,
am very sure, would dismiss the whole
happening as piece of nonsense, or
something merely amusing. Yet, how
often, when we go into the child s
playroom a presence even more won
derful is there beside him, far more
fairylike, far more amazing, far more
marvellous colored, far more richly en-
dowed than any fairy Whatsoever
the imagination, presence which has
been with man, granting his desires,
since the world began, and whose pow
er has never yet been, nor, l fancy,
ever will be, computed.
As beautiful and exquisite, yes, and
in its beauty very nearly as solemn
a thing as the world and the life OF
man afford; and behold, we pay 1t no
reverence, give it little consideration,
or, we laugh at it, perhaps, as some.
thing trifling, and call it "child's play.

BEES HAVE HEATING METHOD
Work of Intelligent Insects keeps
Temperature of Hives Comfort
able in Winter Weather.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold, the bee must turn
to his colony for warmth. Commu-
nism, which in bees is so highly devel-
oped in the storing of food and caring
for the young, is also the basis for the
heating system. 1t was found by ex-
pertinent that only the shell is COM
pact. This is formed by one to sew
eral layers Of bees all solidly arranged
with their heads inward, their hairs
interlacing. This arrangement is per-
feet for conservation Of the heat with
in. Except for an occasional shifting
OF position the bees forming the she'll
are quiet. But within the shell strange
things are going on.
1t Is here that the heat Is gener-
ated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold. The bees
are packed loosely within the shell so
that there is plenty of space for many
bees to be exercising at a time. Rap
i'd tanning of the wings, shaking the
body from side to side, rapid breath
ing, and other movements are all part
of the scheme for raising the tempera-
ture. In one particular instance, when
bee had been rapidly tanning with
his wings for seven and half min
utes, the thermometer nearest him
rose half degree Fahrenheit.

INDEPENDENT OF SUMS RAYS
High-Power Lights Enable Film Pm
ducers to Work, No Matter What
the Weather.

The whims Of the weather have reg.
ulated to q great extent the output OF
the film studios of the country, and
although the most favorable locations
have been sought, the actors and ap-
paratus have been in compulsory idle
ness a great deal of the time, owing
to the unsuitable weather conditions.
Many experiments have been made,
with the idea of placing them in po-
sition of independence of the sun,
and in way the mercury tube lamps
have suficed, but the main difficulty
in their use has been their awkward
shape, which makes 1t impossible to
place them just where they were de-
sired to secure the best illumination.
The mercury lamps, combined with
the high-powered nitrogen lamps,
seem to solve the problem, and they
are now being successfully made use OF
at one of the studios on the Pacific
coast, where the work of making NOV
ing pictures now goes along all day
long, and at night, too, for that mat
ter, without regard to the presence or
absence of the sun. The management
of this particular studio is said to
have effected an annual saving OF
$4,000, represented in the wages Of
the actors and operators, and the in
terest on the capital invested in cam
eras and other apparatus.

Horrors at Home.

"The football tournament between
the teams of Harvard and Yale, re-
Gently held in America, had terrible
results. 1t turned into an awful butch
cry. OF twenty-five participants, seven
were SO severely injured that they had
to be carried from the field in a dying
condition. One player had his back
broken, another lost an eye, and a
third lest a leg. Both teams appeared
upon the field with crowd of ambu-
lances, surgeons, and nurses. Many
ladies tainted at the awful cries of the
injured players. The indignation of
the spectators was powerful, but they
were so terrorized that they were
afraid to leave the field"

However much Americans in gen

They were sewing, and he made .
test Of their frugality by the way they
tore of their threads. The girl who
tore of her thread closest to the
stitch appealed to him most. Later he
watched them at piemaking. With an
other test in mind, he asked each of
them for the waste dough scraps. One
of the girls, wanting to make hit,
gave him generously. The girl who
had won the first test scrimped few
crumbs for him-and won his heart
and hand Soon after, his foot was
seen on the rocker Of her chair as
they talked-which is Pennsylvania
