STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
THE SPYGLASS AGAIN
BY Farmer Smith

Now Il happened that when Jocco left
Billy Bumpus so suddenly he left the spy
glass also and there was nothing for Billy
TO do but take II and trot back TO the
kitchen Of the generals house where he had
been making his home since he Joined the
artillery.
The reason Billy hurried 80 was he had in
mind what Jocco had told him about there
being some tin cans waiting for him In the
generals kitchen.
After a few minutes Billy arrived at the
kitchen door. which was open. He entered
and, sure enough, right in front OF him, he
saw several tin cans on the floor. Just as
he started for one. he heard terrible cam
nonading. II guess they are shooting at
me :" he said laughing to think how he had
butted hole in the bass drum.
The kitchen Is hot. ! guess I'll take a
can or two out under the shade of tree
and have a little breakfast" said Billy as
he trotted back out the door. He took the
spyglass with him.
Soon Billy was seated in the middle Of a
circle of cans, with his spygass in front Of
him 81 have a grand idea" he said out
loud '1ll look at the cans with the big
end Of the spyglass and then they will look
bigger. I'll look at the holes with the small
end of the glass and that will make the cans
last longer"
Look at your appetite with the big emo
of the glass and you will not be so hungry
said tiny voice right behind Billy.
IT'S you, is II, Mrs. Ant? l thought you
would be blown to smthereens by this
| time"
| mo, indeed" replied Mrs Ant. But
| how do you like the artillery? believe you
| were in the infantry And how do you like
being in the band-I mean. in the bass
| drum"
"Ah. my dear! Let bygones be bygones.
| SuErose we forget that ever tried TO eat
| the bass drum" Billy looked down at Mrs
| Ant. Pray, let me look at you with the
To and n glagg lou u ura

| Yes, I'm sure Ants are very interesting
| They are the only army in the world thai

me, l will take a nibble out Of one of the

Location of Stacks and ReRisters.-To
insure the best results, the location OF fur
mace, stacks and registers should be plan
ned out before the work Of construction be-
gins, for while the building need not be
planned to suit the heating apparatus, II
almost always happens that the setting Of
the partitions, swinging of doors, and plac.
Ing OF studs and joists can be arranged so
as to favor the placing Of stacks and regis
ters without seriously affecting any desired
arrangement OF the plan. This can be done
much better on the plans than after the
house Is started. 1t is generally conceded
that the hot-air stacks should be placed in
the partitions and as near to the furnace as
practicable. and that all horizontal branches
should be as short as possible, The regis
ters should be placed as near the stack as
possible they should not be placed near the
windows, nor where the doors will swing
over or against them, nor in the floor near
an open fireplace.
Whether the register shall be placed in
the floor or in a partition is a matter that
should be decided by the owner. The circu-
latton from wall register is not as good
lation from a wall register Is not as
good as from one placed in the floor.
Floor registers catch much dirt. and many
owners object to having their carpets cut
The author believes that II is better to have
the registers placed in the wall. The in
clined Dashboard registers snould be used
instead of floor registers wherever possible.
Convex registers are TO be preferred for
walls, as they deliver more air than do the
ordinary fiat registers. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the stacks must be put in an out
side wall. When this Is the case. the stack
should be doubled and wrapped with as
bestos paper. Stacks should not be placed
in outside walls, however. when It is possi-
BILE to place them elsewhere.
Questions and Answers
Should not sheathing be put on roof before
the shingles are applied? My builder tells me
z. T. Y.
Your builder Is right. Shingles laid on
sheathing are liable to rot II laid over
strips which have space between them they
have q chance to dry out.
S. r. N.--The information you wish rela-
tive to building and loan associations we
will be very glad TO give.

HOW OLD ARE your

My Dears-1t will help you lot in this
world II you will only ask yourself this
question when you are Walking TO people
or trying TO deal with those younger or
older than yourself How old is the one I
am talking to?
DO you expect boy Of six 10 be ms wise
and TO know as much as you who are
fourteen7
DO you expect the teacher or one OF your
elders to be six years old when he or she
tells you TO do something? Do you know
that your father and mother may know a
few things which they are too busy to tell
you when they ask you to do something
which you do not want to dor
This talk is based upon n small wrangle
between a girl OF fourteen and her brother
of FIVE The fight was occasioned because
the youngster was destroying something
which belonged TO HIM.
People are Of TWO kinds; those who are
NOT old enough to know better and those
who ARE old enough to know better.

Location OF Furnace.-Upon the location
OF the furnace the successful heating Of the
house often depends. and Il is a matter that
requires careful consideration. As a gen.
eral rule, the furnace should be located in
the basement, near the middle Of the space
occupied by the registers, and little nearer
the side from which the prevailing winds
come In winter. The tendency in hot-air
heating when the wind is blowing strong
in severely cold weather, is for the rooms on
the further side OF the house from the wind
to be overheated, and for those against the
wind to be poorly heated. the registers on
the windward side delivering scarcely any
hot air
Therefore, to counteract this tendency,
the furnace should always be placed few
feet toward the windward side Of the build.
ing, provided this does not make the pipes
leading to the general. or family, living
rooms longer than the others. The height
Of the basement should be such that the
leaders, or horizontal hot-air pipes below
the basement ceiling, may have a pitch Of
one and one-half inch per running foot up
ward from the furnace. II there is no in
clination to these pipes, the hrst-story
rooms will be heated with difficulty. For
a residence of ten rooms the furnace room
should have a clear height Of at least seven
feet six inches.

must preach as well. To the discrim-
mating student such preaching does
little harm because he is able TO take
IL at Its value, but the rank and file
OF college students cannot be expected
TO have that much wisdom. There is
big chance that most of them will
suffer mental clouding under the
influence of such propagandist.
especially MS the preaching is handed
to them under the guise Of instruc-
ton.
The wise teacher is the one who is
able to distinguish between what he
himself knows, and what he believes:
between what he would like to teach
and what he knows is proper for him
TO impart to immature minds: while
the poor teacher Jumps these things
all together and hands them out to
the student as education. But, while
Doctor Butler has shown a clear con-
ception of what is wrong with many
teachers, there are other callings
where the same fault is In evidence.
iic uses inc WOTu preaCh' Tor the
enunciation of opinions as distin-
gulshed from the word teach" for
the impartng of information. That
is a misuse OF the word preach. The
preacher, fully as much as the
teacher, is in duty bound to impart
sure information to his hearers. II
ne has opinions to give they should
be plainly labeled as opinions and not
confused with gospel truth. II this
plan were followed there woihd be
breaking down of denominational
lines. The preacher takes even more
than the teacher an unfair advantage
OF his hearers when he dishes out to
them theories and creeds and regu-
lations and tries to persuade them
that these are part and parcel of the
gospel. The preachers utterances. in
even greater degree than the teach
er's, are taken by many people on
absolute faith, and he is therefore all
the more guilty OF deception II he
wanders from his text.

THE BANE OF COLLEGES.

has often been remarked that our
colleges were tending more to turning
out proselytes to various fads and
theories than they were TO making
educated and efficient men. There
may be some injustice In the charge,
but there is enough truth to make 1t
serious. As eminent a scholar as
Nicholas Murray Butler has recog-
nized the menace and warns against
Il. TOO many American teachers are
proselyters for some particular brand
OF philosophy and are so obsessed with
some pet theory that they conceive
their chief aim in life is the CONVEX
sion OF others to their view. Their
positions as educators give them n
big advantage in bending the youthful
intellect and giving II the proper twist
TO assimilate their theories and be
unable to see their fallacies. They
are not content to teach-which

PERIpATETIC WISDOM.

We stopped on the street corner
the other day TO listen to man ex-
horting the crowd after the manner
Of the peripatetic evangelist. Usually
we give such preachers a wide berth,
for their mouthings in nine cases out
of ten are not worth listening to
Just a mass of illogical noise without
logic or sense. But we had not lis
tened long TO this man until we heard
some things that struck us as pearls
Of wisdom that would do well TO be
repeated in the proudest pulpit in the
land. His utterances were accom-
plished to the accompaniment OF ex-
travagant physical demonstrations,
but that he told the truth and told 1t
forcibly was beyond dispute, that is
II he continued as we'll thruout as the
little bit that fell upon our ears.
In substance here are some of the
things he said: Il was not saved
