mitted that Lark would be an acquisi-
ton to the editorial force, indeed, one
sorely needed.
During those days, Carol followed
Lark about with hungry devotion
that would have been observed by her
sister on a less momentous occasion.
But now she was so full of the darling
career that she overlooked the once
most-darling Carol. On Monday morn
ing, Carol did not remain upstairs with
Lark as she donned her most business
like dress for her initiation into the
world of literature. Instead she sulked
grouchily in the dining ROOM and when
Lark, radiant, star-eyed, danced into
the room for the family's approval, she
almost glowered upon her.

One Of them was telling about a SCI

quoted a famous inventor who said
that 1t would only be a short while
until all telephone wires would be abol-
ished as unessentIal.
THE fact is," he said, "that tele-
phone wires 40 not IN reality carry

WARSHlPS MUST HAVE AIR
Ventilation Is Secured Through Water
tight Trunks, Which Are Con-
tinued Up to Weather Deck.

One of the most difficult problems
in building modern battleship is to
secure satisfactory ventilation, says
the Minneapolis Journal. A ship is
such a complicated thing, made up Of
many steel boxes, large and small, for
the accommodation of officers, men,
coal, ammunition and stores; dotted
here and there with so many steel lad
ders, automatic lifts, steel bulkheads,
and Watertight doors, varied here and
there by miles of electric wires be-
longing to lights, telephones, bells and
motors, to say nothing of the endless
mileage of pipes for flooding, drain
ing, pumping. fresh water, fresh air
or compressed air. and speaking tubes.
First in Importance comes the ven
tilating of the boiler and engine rooms.
When you begin to think of the gangs
OF coal black demons working away in
the bowels of the ship at a temporal
ture of 12O degrees; when, too, you
commence to realize that unless the
furnaces receive their required
draught the speed of the battleship
drops to below that of her sisters in
the squadron, you appreciate the inn
POrtance of Steam-driven fans to the
furnaces and boiler rooms. The sup
ply of air comes down through large
watertight trunks which are continued
right up to the weather deck, armored
gratings being provided at the protect
i've deck.
For ventilating engine rooms. large
electric fans are employed So, too,
the coal bunkers have to be ventilated,
owing to the gas which the coal gives
off. This gas, when mixed with air,
forms an explosive; so, in order to
prevent possibility of injury to men
ship, q supply and an exhaust pipe
are fitted in such a manner as to
cause a current of air

the provision of a bOuntiful and varied

dents of the ZOO and keep them in good
health the year round, was a most
difficult matter. particularly in winter /;
but the products of the farm have
solved this problem perfectly Not
only do these include corn, carrots
beets, cabbages, turnips, potatoes, and
other good things that delight the APP
