Is Able To Supply Water To Suburbs
In Maryland.

From the Washington Star.
Without jeopardizing the interests Of
those it serves. the District of Columbia
government can deliver maximum of
100000 gallons of water daily to resi-
dents of nearby Maryland communities.
This statement is contained in report
sent to Congress by the District Commits
si0ners along with bill recommended by
them for the creation of metropolitan
water system, embracing not only the Dis
trict Of Columbia. but adjacent portions
of Maryland.
The measure is substitute for the bill
referred to the Commissioners for a report.
1t was drawn up after the District heads
had several conferences with the Wash
ineton suburban sanitary commission. Il
is more specific as to methods of delivery
of water, of payment and amount of con-
sumption than is the original bill.
Before Maryland can avail itself Of the
privilege contemplated by the proposed
legislation action on the part Of the Mary
land legislature approving the plan will
be necessary.
In establishing maximum daily deliv-
cry Of 100000 gallons. the substitute
bill directs that the water shall be meas
ured through meters established within
the District at points where il is proposed
to deliver the water to Maryland. II further
is provided that the rates at which the
water shall be furnished shall be based on
the actual cost of delivering 1t to the points
of delivery. And the revenue thus de-
rived il is stipulated. shall be paid into
the United States Treasury as a part of
the water revenues of the District.
The Commissioners say they regard the
proposed legislation as being in the inter
est of health. In support Of the statement
that the District can spare 3.000.000 gal
Ions of water daily. they say that the
aqueduct which brings the water from
Great Falls to the District furnishes a
daily safe mean flow of about 85. 100000
gallons. During the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1915. the average mean daily
total consumption Of water was So. 5l2 900
gallons. and during the fiscal year ended
June 80. 1915. this had been reduced to
49.692.000 gallons. The decrease in con-
sumption, the report says, was due to the
installation of meters and detection Of
wastes.

the surface eight inches or more well sup
piled with lime. 1t is here that the alfalfa
bacteria are most abundant and active,
and it is here that they need lime to make
conditions favorable.
The amount of lime required depends
upon the degree of soil acidity. The Truoe
Soil Acidity Tester determines this accu-
rately for all practical purposes. The lit
mus test does so to certain extent. II
the paper turns distinct pink rapidly, the
soil is generally very sour and will require
from two to four tons of the best grade OF
ground limestone. mari or air-slaked lime.
or one or two tons of fresh lump lime. II
course ground limestone is used, three to
six tons may be necessary, In all events
It is always better to apply too much than
too little.

House With Double Roof.

BY adopting some tropical ideas Of
house building, Florida landowner
has constructed on the banks of the
Miami river a dwelling that promises
the maximum of comfort in summer.
The house is described in Popular Me-
chanics. II is of simple twO-story
frame design, with low-pitched roof.
but the roof is double, with n consid-
cradle air space between, which serves
TO protect the upper story from the
direct heat of the sun. There are also
wide two-story screened porches
around the house on three Sides so
as TO get all the benefit of the north
east trade wind which prevails during
the summer. The porches are all I'M
der the double roof, which has over
hanging caves. This style of construc-
ton is common in Java and Ceylon,
and Is also found In the Panama Canal
zone, but the house on the Miami Is
believed to be the first Of its kind In
the United States, as well as the first
in Florida.

NOT CROWDED Yet
Plenty Of Room In Heaven, Say
the StatistiCianS.
Mathematician Compile Interesting
Figures Based on the Dimensions
as Stated In Bible.

The dimensions of heaven are plain
ly stated In the Bible, but they are so
great that no one yet has been able to
reduce them to figures that can be
grasped by most people. However,
they do indicate that heaven is not a
crowded place.
The basis of calculations Of the size
of heaven is found in Revelations
21 :15: "And he measured the city
with the reed, 10000 furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height
of 1t are equal"
Twelve thousand furlongs are 1920
600 feet, or 1900 miles. The cube of
this must be taken in order to obtain
the cubic contents of heaven, which
are 469, 1893, 0SS, 100000 100000 cubic
feet.
With these figures before him one
statistician has figured out just how
much room there is In heaven for each
individual soul. A single calculation is
given to prove just how easy the proc
ess really is.
This statistician thinks that the
meeting place of the angels probably
is the most spacious and requires at
least half the total space. He deducts
another fourth for streets and open
places, which leaves 124,19S,272, 000.-
600, 100000 cubic feet for the actual
dwelling place of the angels.
A room 20 feet square contains 5000
cubic feet. Assuming that the dwell
ings of heaven are divided into rooms
20 feet square, there would be exact
ly 1902, 534, 600, 100000 rooms. The
present number Of inhabitants in the
world Is estimated at approximately
100000. Assuming for the mo-
ment that this number has always ex-
listed In the world each day and that
there are three generations In CEN
fury, the number of inhabitants for
each century would be 100000, 900.
Assuming also that the world has
existed for 1000 centuries scientists
have not been able to agree as to the
age of the earth), then the total num-
Der of inhabitants III the world amounts
to 100000, 100000.
Many scientists are of the opinion
that other worlds besides the earth.
especially Mars, are inhabited Not
to leave out of account the possible In
habitants of other worlds, 1t is esti-
mated that 80 of them could be added,
giving total of 100 worlds like the
earth with 300,0OO,OO0,OOO,0OO inhab-
itants.
Dividing the total number of rooms.
13,024,534000, 100000, by 3OO,OOO,0OO,-
100000 the total number of inhabi-
tants, there would be nearly five rooms
20 feet square and with 10-foot cell
ing for each angel

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committcc VIII
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Washington Creation Of central
purchasing committee In Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hurdman Lever,
financial expert of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
J. Z. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
" bankrupt In the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boosted efficiency, have never had the
courage TO face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
It,"
The Teutonic governments having
pyramlded one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lleved they would either have TO repu-
date n large part OF their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quanti-
ties OF material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rnis-
ing loans" As n result, he predicted
that the end Of the war would find the
allies In good shape financially despite
their enormous permanent debts

Mine Coal In River Beds.

1t has been known for some time
that large quantities of anthracite coal
existed in the beds of certain rivers
running through the anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania, the coal having been
washed down years ago. In the Sus-
quehanna river. the Schuylklll and the
Lehigh, these deposits are exceedingly
heavy, being found In greatest guam
titles In pockets along the river beds.
During the last few years companies
independent of owners and operators
of coal mines, have been at work dig
ging out this coal by means of dredges
selling it afterward direct to the con-
sumner. The coal Is said to be Of ex-
cellent quality, in fact. much Of It Is
superior to that obtained direct from
the mines. The cost of dredging aver
ages about II cents ton and the
prices to consumers have been as low
as $1.35.

insomnia Only a Habit

One of the reasons why insomnia is
so much dreaded is that 1t Is wrongly
conceived by many of the lalty to be
disease. There is no such disease
and In its simple form, where there is
no positive disease in the background,
1t is merely bad cell habit, kept alive
by some fault in the manner of living,
some breach Of brain discipline, or
some disturbance In the functions of
the body that results In inslstent mes
sages being sent to the brain centers
during sleep OF while we are trying TO
sleep. Trying to sleep is pathetic
and futile task, and much better re-
suits usually can be obtained by not
trying to sleep.-World's Work.
