MAY DRAW HEAT FROM EARTH
Scientists Have Seriously Proposed
Deep Borines by Means Of Which
Il Can Be Obtained.

AS we go downward into the earth
we find a steady increase of tempera-
-ture. So marked is this increase that
1t has been seriously proposed to make
very deep borings in order to obtain
supplies of warm water for heating
our towns.
Arago and Walferdin suggested this
method for supplying warmth to the
Jardin des Plantes in Paris; and now
that such important improvements
have been made in carrying borings
to enormous depths the time may not
be far distant when we shall draw ex-
tensively upon these supplies of Sub
marine" heat.
The city of Budapest is extensively
supplied with hot water from an I'M
derground source. 1t may be we'll to
remember that in the event of our coal
supply failing we have these mex
haustible supplies of heat everywhere
beneath our feet.

minutes and scratching TO relieve an
itch.
The latter, say nerve specialists. is
among those most difficult to conquer.
If we can restrain the desire to scratch
every time we feel an itching sensa-

will find that in a short time the itch

Invitation to Enter.

"The latch string hangs out" signi'
fies hospitality and is standing invi-
tation for a person to visit. In early
times Indiana pioneers lived in log
cabins built of round logs. notched
near the ends, to make them lie close
ly together Openings for doors and
windows were made by saving out
holes after the logs were laid. The
doors were Of puncheons or rough
slabs fastened together with wooden
pins. Nails were expensive and little
used. The door latch was a wooden
catch or kind of trigger which, when
the door was closed, fell into a little
groove and could be opened from the
outside by pulling a string, one end OF
which was fastened TO the latch and
the other, passing through a hole in
the door above the latch, hung outside,
so the latch could be raised by pulling
the string. To lock the door the string
was pulled inside. Hence the express
sion, "the latch string hangs outside
meant an invitation to come in.
