Prusslans Really Huns.

The appellation of Huns, which Will
liam II coveted for and himself ap-
piled to Prussians, even to the extent
OF naming one offhis sons for the In
famous Attila, the Hunnish "Scourge
OF God,"' seems really to belong to that
people In an chronological sense. Mr..
Levisee, in his Studies In Prussian
History" tells us that the Prussians
are "a people belonging to the Lithu-
anian race mixed with Finnish ele-
ments; which would make then kin-
dred with the Huns, Turks and Bull.

HAS RIlHT IDEA OF ECONOMY
How European City UtiIizes Water
Power Which Otherwise Would Be
of No Value.

An electric-heating system which
utilizes power that would otherwise go
to waste has been Installed in a school
In a southern European city. The ex.
listing hot-water pipes and radiators
are connected with a well-insulated
water tank of 1,300-gallons' capacity.
In this reservoir electric resistances
are built, and at night are supplied
with current which raises the water
to well above the boiling point. The
cost Of the current is low because the
water power used to produce it nor
mally would go to waste. During the
day the hot water is allowed to circu.
late through the radiators, its vol.
ume being sufficient to warm the
rooms without using more current.
The desired temperature is maintained
by a Observation-Disclosures Mechanics
Magazine.
