The walls of the house are given the
character OF three materials. The
foundation walls above grade are OF
face brick. Above this and carried up
TO the head trim of the windows, the
walls are finished with narrow bevcled
siding. Under the gable ends Ae
walls are finished up to the roof with
timbercd stucco. The perspective view
gives some slight idea of the rustic
appearance of the low pitch gable roof.
The roof itself Is unadOrnpd-cha
tpriZed by clean. Sharp-Cut outlines and
careful balance. The appearance is
dependent upon the correct selection
Of pitch and the general outline of the
roof rather than upon elaborate Orna-
meHtation. There are two brackets
under each gable end, these being ap-

in the shoe store when creature hav-

REcLAIMING THE zUIDER ZEE

While nearly every other nation in
Europe is wasting its substance in
war, through which it hopes to gain
territory or commercial advantage,
Holland is quietly moving to add one
half million acres of fertile land to its
area; not by force of arms, not by
conquest of a weaker nation, but by
wrestling it from the sea. A bill has
been introduced in the Dutch Parlia-
ment to authorize a plan for draining
the Zuider Zee, and to appropriate so
million dollars with which to do the
first part of the work. The entire
project will cost one hundred million
dollars and take thirty-three years
of work. The Zuider Zee TO be cut
off by a dixie will embrace one-half
million acres. Other dikes will be
built to cut off shallow portions of it
separately, and each in turn will be
pumped dry by the most powerful
centrifugal pumps. The soil thus
barred will be very fertile, composed
of the salt of rivers that empty into
it. The Hollanders have been re-
claiming land from the sea in this way
for a thousand years. They have a
saying, "God made the sea, but we
made the land" In 1852 they drained
Harlem Lake and reclaimed one mil
lion acres from sea, lake and river
since the Sixteenth century; and all
of Holland is one vast garden The
land to be reclaimed by pumping dry
the Zuider Zee will form another pro-
vince of Holland, and support dense
population, and add vastly to the
wealth of the country. The Ameri-
can cartoonist and funny paragraph
ers have given the majority of us
twisted estimate of the Dutchman.
We think of him as stolid, unpro-
gressive. That is wrong. He is
grave and steady going, but not at
all stupid or dull, as anyone may
learn who cares to read how they
fought the hungry sea for centuries
and took from it the best part of their
land. This endless struggle with
Nature has not been their only one.
They won the battle of political free
dom hundred years before the Dec
laration of American independence.
Holland has a population of five mil
lion, only about one and a half mil
lion more than Missouri, but think of
Missouri planning to spend one hun
bred million dollars in one reclamation
project. When Missouri is as dense
ly populated as Holland it will have
reclaimed all the swamp and river
bottom land that is now waste places.

ELECTRIC HARVESTING.

Nine farmers near Abilene, Kansas,
maugurated the first threshing of
wheat by electric power in the United
States.
Forming company, they purchased
a small motor and a separator. They
rented transformer from the central
light company and also 1000 feet of
cable. The separator was placed in
the field, connected with the motor
and the cable reached to the nearest
light along the highway The turning
of the switch set the machinery in
motion and the threshing was done al
cost of half the ordinary expense.
The old fashioned engine requires a
water boy, engineer and perhaps a
coal hauler and is expensive to Cd.
crate. The motor is clean, quiet, free
from fire danger and needs only occa.
sional oiling. Over 1000 bushels of
wheat day were threshed easily.

WHY GOLD PIECES
ARE "DOCTORED"

Why don't jewelers. melt up $40 and
500 gold pieces in order to use the
metal in the manufacture of gold jew
elry? Indeed, gold pieces were used
some forty years ago by enterprising
jewellers and with success, too-un-
til the practice was stopped in very
novel but effective way. In those days
jewellers bought enough $40 and $40
gold pieces for the work in hand. The
gold was melted, the necessary al
Toys were added, and all manner of
fine Etruscan work was turned out.
1t was not long, however, before the
government began to wonder what
was becoming Of its gold pieces. The
officials knew the people were not
boarding gold, so quiet investigation
took place. 1t was then discovered
that the makers of gold jewelry were
to blame. Having found the cause,
it was not difficult for the officials
to find cure. They did it by "pep-
pering" the coins with iridium. Re-
sembling black emery in the crude
state, iridium requires heat of g.
542 degrees Fahrenheit to melt it,
Gold, on the other hand, can be melt
ed at 1913 Fahrenheit. 1t is easy to
see, then, how the unsuspecting jew
elers, melting up his gold pieces at
the temperature required got a large
number of unmelted speks of iridium
in his metal when it cooled.-PopulaT
