0nappinq Down the Rugs,

The press button system with which
we are familiar in gloves and garments
has been applied by European inven-
tor for fixing carpets, tapestry hang
ings and the like, says the Scientific
American. For instance. small spring
socket Is inserted flush with the floor,
and the carpet carries corresponding
projection, 80 that all that Ia needed
to lay carpet or rug is to push the
buttons into the sockets.
Again, the projections aare mounted
along stout tape band and the sock
cts on another, quite like the usual
pressure button. One tape Is sewed
to the rug, and another can be tackled
down upon an already laid carpet, %
that the rug can be laid or removed
instantly.
Hangings can be put on the walls in
the same way. Curtains or p0rtieres
can also be mounted, and all such
material can be ut once removed for
cleaning. In case OF fire valuable
hangings can be saved.

Children are Gods own creation. And
it would be wise to follow his own d.
rection about the growth OF our chill
dren's mind toward freedom and light.
The highest education is that which
does not merely give us information,
but makes our life In harmony with an
existence
Children are ia love with life, and Il
Is their first love. They are not born
ascetics, at to enter at once into the
monastic discipline Of acquiring knowl-
edge. At flrst they. must gather knowl-
edge through. their love OF life, and
then they will renounce their lives to
gain knowledge. and then again they
will come back to their fuller lives with
ripened wisdom. .-Rabindranath Tagore

Sandstoncs Are Porous.


The more porous beds OF sand and
gravel along stream valleys, lake
shores and the coast absorb very large
amounts of water. Next to these m.
consolidated deposits the rocks capa-
Bile Of direct absorption are sandstones
and certain porous limestones. The abb
sorption by GRANTEES, states and other
massive rocks is relatively slight, ac-
cording to the United States geological
survey, department Of the interior. A
cubic foot Of sand will absorb on an
average about ten quarts Of water. and
certain porous sdndstones will absorb
two to six quarts. While there is no
definite lower limit to the penetration
Of water, 1t Is probable. that little sur
face water penetrates more than three
miles below the surface. and most Of
the pores and crevices In rocks are
closed below the depth OF few hun

There were no people dancin' round,
And no one out to sing,
But, even so, that hurdy gurdy
Was a sign of spring.
