SAVAGES WORE BODY ARMOR
Gilbert Islanders Used That Form of Protection, but It Was Limited
 to Leaders.

Only one tribe in the South Pacific islands ever rose to the height of in venting armor to be used in their war fare. But even this tribe, the Gilbert islanders, turned out only few suits, owing to the work entniled in the manufacture. Francis Dickle says, in the Scientific American, that the suits were limited In number and that every village was the proud posSessor of one. At the outbreak of a conflict between villages, not all the lnhabi- tantS went to war, but the most doughty warrior was dressed in the village armor and sent against the champion of the rival place.
 The brown-colored fabric covering the body and legs, which formed the GilhprtS' armor, was made out of cOir string taken from the huSk of the coconut. so closely woven as to make protection stronger than board, and having greater lighness to recommend 1t. A further breastplate, invulnerabe to any native weapon, was made from the dried skin of the Stingarec, or ray fish. which dried as hard as metal.
 In the last few years peace has set tied over the Gilbrrts and the armor has ceased to be manufactured. The few suits in existence have all been seized by collectors of rare articles.

COUNTRIES NEED OF HOMES
Apartment House Can Never Really Take the Place of the ln-
 diVidual Abode.

Tn helping solve the housing prob- lem of the cities the apartment house meets q very real demand. There is need for such houses with sufficient rooms to care for families. There is a place for others with smaller quar- ters where bachelor apartments may he maintained. It is well for cities to have apartment houses in such num- bers as to help meet the demand for quarters from those who prefer 10 live in rooms without the advantage of yard and garden.
 But it is far better for city to have a hundred new separate homes erected than to have a hundred-family apart ment houses constructed. The proper and natural way of living is for one family to have a house, with the little grass plot in the yard, bit of garden in the back part of the lot, with the freedom and conyenienceS and priv acy that separate homes provide. Co- mmbuS has q housing demand now that calls for some more apartment houses, those with proper convenient ces and rental not too grcar. But it has a greater need for more separate homes. There are hundreds Of vacant lots. the cost of fine building being suited tO the neghhorhOOd. There Is a great need for the homes that will care for small families. homes within

"FIower of the Devil"

"FlOwer of the Devil" is a strange growth upon trees found on the sides of FucgO volcano in Guatemala, one of the few places in the world where 1t Is known to occur. It has beautiful foliaton, veiuing and stem, and appears full blown when just unfolding from the bud. This effect Is formed by a parasite which enters the wood and dies after eating portions of 1t away, process which in time produces the results described Tradition, however, ascriheS a different origin. Years ago, when the Spaniard ruled the country, q fair Indian maiden was supposed to have betrayed certain tribal Se- crcts to her white lover. Her people threw her into the fiery water of Fuego in cxpiation of her sin, and once every year. on Midsummer'S day, she ap- pears to throw armfuIs of the devils flowers over the mountains slopes solemn warning to all of the sane tIty of tribal secrets.

An English scientist has, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine worked out method of taking exact measurement of color. Black, white and gray are automatically com pared with standard white, and their composition expressed in percentage of black or white. A color, such az red, Is compared with white surface in q pure red light. If the red ap- peafs darker, |; is matched with gray surface under a red light, the percentage of black then being the same in both. Assigning the number 9 to red, such q composition aS cin' nabar would be Sicuitied hy the fig urrS 25 .Ol IS. meaning red with 1 per cent of white and IS per cent of black.

Woodpecker a Home Bird"

Among the natural guardians of the trees are the woOdpeckers, which gather their food as they creep round the trunks and branches. AS the food of the woodpecker is nearly as abund- ant in winter as In summer, they are seldom migratory. They never forage in flocks. like some of the granivorOus birds whose food is more plentiful, but scatter out over wide areas, and thus better their fare. They bear the same relation to other birds that take their food from trees as snipes and woodCoCks bear to thruShes and quails-that is, they bore into the wood as the snlpe bores into the earth, while thrushes and qualls seek their sustenance on the surface of the ground.
