Lava Slow to Cool.

Even the ancient poets recorded the
tenacity with which lava retains the
heat, and Borello, describing the great
eruption Of 1869, says the lava took
eight years to cool. 1t is related that
steam was still rising in 1880 from
lava elected in 1877. And this is not
astonishing when we remember that
the stream of molten lava which
reached the sea at Catania on that
occasion was at least 600 yards in
breadth. As feet deep and contained
$685., 100000 cubic feet. 1t banked up
against the walls of Catania, which
were 60 feet high, until 1t flowed over
the top and destroyed large part of
the city. The huge prOmOntOry that
acts like a breakwater to the harbor
is the remains Of that stream of lava
that flowed into the sea.

The parsy and the Mule.
j. H. DILLMAN,
Road Engineer.

Many believe that there Is a hidden
analogy between darby and a mule.
Southern darkies are proverbial for
their skill in handling mules. There
is a comradeship between them that
has led some scientists to suspect a
natural affinity. This is a genuine case
of heredlty, not on the part OF the
mule but the driver. For a hundred
years, perhaps. the males OF that col
ored famllY have been mule drivers.
They have learned the fixed rules, the
unwritten laws Of the animals, laws
even more immutable than those Of the
Modes and the Persians.

ment building is a product Of thickly
settled communities.
The fiat building precedes the apart
ment with respect to the growth of the
municipality for the reason that 1t is
cheaper to maintain. In the fiat build
Ing the renter provides his own heat,
while in the apartment, janitor service
Is provided by the owner. This, of
course, increases the rent which must
be asked for the apartments. Some
people, living in small cities or towns,
do not care for the conventional fiat
building in which each floor is ocCu-
pied by a separate family. For this
reason, there is nearly always a de-
mand for two-family houses in which
both families occupy ground floor
space, or in which the two-story build
ing Is divided after the manner Of the
duplex apartment, each family having
space on two floors.
1t would seem logical to suppose that
u building of this kind would be popu-
lar in almost any small city or town,
even in rather small towns, in case
there is any demand for houses to
rent. This type of double house may
be made very artistic, as the example
which we will presently describe will
show. There is an independence in
the two parts Of such a building which
compares very favorably with private
houses built on the average lots of
growing communities. A few of these
houses in a well-kept town are impress
sive and give the appearance OF pro-
gressiveness which is always noticed
by strangers, especially those who
have in mind the investment OF their
capital in industrial or other business
projects.
Perhaps the greatest value of this
type of double house in the small town

Legends Of Polar North.

The polar North is filled with weird
imaginative legends, but perhaps the
most imaginative is the theory Of the
north Greenlanders recently studied by
European ethnolOgists, concerning the
controlling power of the universe.
This, they believe, is woman, known
as the Old Woman Of the Sea. Accord
ing to Hartley Burr Alexander, "once
she was a mortal woman; a petrol
wooed her with enhancing song and
carried her to his home beyond the
sea. When her relatives tried to res
cue her the bird raised such a storm
that they cast her into the sea to save
themselves. She attempted to cling to
the boat, but they cut off her hand and
she sank to the bottom, her several fin
gers being transformed into whales and
seals of the several kinds. In her
house in the depths of the sea Ner-
rivik dwells, trimming her lamp, guard
ed by terrible dog, and ruling over
the animal life Of the deep"

organization that works from nine to
five is slowly changing as man after
man drops out to take up military
service. The inrOadS which have al
ready been made in staffs of the big
banking institutions are not serious,
but the prospect of losing many more
employees in the next few weeks or
months is being discussed by employ
erS, and it is the general view that
most of the vacancies must be filled
by women, says a New York news let
ter. One of the largest national banks
has lost 80 men to plattSburg and
Madison, has - more who are In mill

leave, and has 400 who are liable to
CONSUMPTION. A prominent trust COM
pany has lost upward of 100 men, in
Guiding the senior vice president, and
expects the total to be more than 300

ment. This combination is designed
for those who recognize the wisdom in
open air sleeping but who do not care
to undergo the discomfort of dressing
in a cold room during the cold wealth
er. The sleeping porch is entirely
open On one side and has a window
in the opposite wall, so that ventila-
ton is certain. The bedroom may be
used, then, simply as a dressing room
and may be kept warm for that pur-
pose. French doors are placed be-
tween the bedroom and porch and
small windows are placed on each side
of the doors, in the full length of the
doors. Although this bedroom has no
windows in an outside wall, there is no
possibility of it's being dark and il the
doors are opened between it and the
screened porch, the room will be thor
oughly ventilated. When the cOmbina-
ton is used in the first method sug-
gested, however, this is q most excel
lent feature.
Everyone will easily recognize the
good qualities of a house of this type
and, as has been already said, if there
were more of these houses carefully
built and well taken care of in almost
any of the towns in the country, 1t
would result in a very much improved
appearance of the communities af-
fected.
