Transplanting Towering and vege-
table plants is now greatly facilitated
by the use Of paper flower pots which
are nothing more or less than the fa-
mlllar paper drinking cups. For use
In the farm and garden these cups
are perforated and the seedlings are
grown in them In the nursery. When
1t comes time to put the delicate plants
out In the open they are transferred
bodily. pots and oil. and placed in the
ground. The transfer is attended by
no shock whatever, which is rarely
the case when the roots are disturbed
during the operation as when removing
them from the little pots of clay which
are generally used for this purpose.
The perforations enable the rootlets
to find their way beyond the limits Of
the pot, and so the paper does not in
terfere with their growth.

HOT REALLY NEW
t.iodern Comforts Well Known to
the AncientS.
Running Water In Houses, for In
stance, Was a Luxury Enjoyed by
Both the Roman and Early
Egyptian Civilizations

Many Of the sO-called modern i'm
prNriucmts" of civilization, which so
lari;, y contribute TO the comfort Of
living. are by no means so recent In
origin as we are disposed to imagine.
An eminent archeologst has recent
ly declared, for example, that Nero's
palace In Rome had three elevators.
II Is true that those elevators must
have been hosting machines of very
primitive pattern-operated presum-
ably by man power, with the help Of
rOpe and counter weight-and It Is
more than doubtful that they were
ever used to carry human freight. Few
palaces or other buildings IN ancient
iUlnc we're more than two stories In
height, and passenger lifts" were for
that reason not needed.
We are accustomed to think of run
ming water in houses as a modern lux
ury. New York city did not have It
until l7I6. when a reservoir was con-
structed east of Broadway, into which
water was raised by pumping 1t from
wells dug for the purpose. But that
was very primitive arrangement
co;nphred with the system of ancient
Rome, by which water was brought
fr1Ei great distances In aqueducts that
were marvels of engineering and that
eihplied through lead pipes into thou
sGnds of tanks of hewn stone.
Erected at intervals along the streets
OF pOmpeii were pillars of masonry,
UP which ran lead pipes and on top
OF each pillar was tank, from which
water was distributed by pipes to the
houses. ALI dwellings, except those of
the very poor. were thus supplied, and
some had nearly a score of faucets,
controlled by stopcocks that were
much like those that are In use today.
AT many street corners there were
fountains with stone basins, the edges
Of which even now show depressions
worn by the hands Of the people who
leaned over to drink. Those fountains
were fed by the city water, which was
brought by an aQueduct from a distant
place 80 elevated that the head" was
very powerful. That kind Of engineer
ing was highly developed In those
times. When Julius Caesar first Wis
tied Alexandria In Egypt he found
there so complete an underground
water supply system that the city
seemed hollow underneath"
In the year 70 B. c., julius Caesar
organized the fire department Of Rome.
1t had force of 800 men. At that
time primitive fire engine had al
ready come into use; It was a pair of
pumps worked by beam, and the two
streams united In common discharge
pipe and passed out through a nozzle
that could be turned In any direction.
"Siphons"-emergency fire extlnguish-
ers-were commonly kept in houses.
Frequent mention is made of them in
ancient literature, but we do not know
what they were llke.-Youth's Com.

AS we reached certain smooth
road, along which travel daily many
ammunition wagons, we met mule
skinner walking. He was going in the
direction Of certain military grave

French and Germans, Senegalese and
Moroccans and Tunlslans-C Christians
and MOhammedans. Over the mule
skinner's right arm hung French

leading sullen looking mule. As we
were about to pass him our engine
died. W got out to crank up and
the mule skinner stopped to watch and

"and the lieutenant sent me back"
He didn't meet my eyes; poor little

and fond of an easy bedi I put my
hand on his arm.
"0h, MCKEE" said, last time you
were chosen for party-the first time
you were put on a real job-you had
cramps. A boy with an Irish name
shouldn't act this way. Don't you know
that the boys already suspect you. and
that the lieutenant Is only giving you

anything like this happens to you he'll
be certain, and then he'll put you In all
the dangerous places. If you run away
then he'll have you shot for cowardice
If you would Just face 1t once you'd feel
different. Nothing is ever so bad when
we are going through 1t as we thought
1t would be before we got to 1t. Please,
Mickie, take my gas mask and go

All honor to the poor shaky lad that
he did not try to excuse himself on the
score that should need the gas mask
myself. He let me fasten 1t on him.
Then l lent him my lucky four-leaf
clover to wear as n mascot, and with
out speaking at all he started back
down the white road.

It's sort of wearing to see man you

his back to you and walk down a

is that after all the danger is very
much less than 1t seems. We have to
