nickel plated trimmings.
Special Fcoturcs-The perforated
plate between tho coal and electric
sections permits the circulation of air
all around the coal section. 50 that they

insulation was tested by building an
anthracite fire and noting its effect on
the oven tempera ture with no electric
heat applied. After the fire had been
on for threa hours the oven tempera.

grees above room temperature (7o

The coal heated water front is very
efficient; thirty gallons Of water was
raised from SO to LAT degrees f. in
three hours. One quart Of water was
heated on top of the range from e6 to
200 degrees F. in 10 minutes 81 sec

The oven has a removable shelf
which can be adjusted to different
heights and the walls are insulated to
permit cooking operations with stored
heat and to prevent loss of neat by
radiation. The heat retention of the
oven Is very good. With all heat off

an accurate thermostatic oven tempera-

temperature at its setting, Independent
Of tho operator, SO long as the pilot on
oven is lighted.
The range is constructed of sheet steel
with nickel trimmings, and white por-
celain enameled panels on oven doors
and on side wall and rack above cook
ing top. The heat insulation Of the
oven is exceptionally good, without any
sacrifice Of ventilation. The oven and
it's control apparatus are constructed
throughout for convenience and effi-
cheney.
Special Feat,4res--The main features
are the single burner, which heats broll-
er oven and warming oven; the Fire
fly Lighter, which, at a cost OF about
10 cents month for gas consumption,
does away with the necessity Of matches
for surface work; the porcelain enam-
eled broiler drip pan and refuse tray
below; the cooking top burner, which
comprises three medium size star
burners, one similar giant burner and
one simmerer. Porcelain handled half
turn valves control all burners. A pot
and pan shelf is provided under the
cooking tops refuse tray.
The overall height of the stove is 62

above the floor. A shelf is placed above
the cooking top. An exceptional amount
of shelf room and warming space is pro-
vided.
The broiler Is directly under the main
oven and the two are always heated
together. Above the main oven Is
warming oven, which heats above 200

Easy to Walk Upside Down.

Because he walks upside down as
well as right side up the black and
white warbler is also frequently called
the black and white creeper, says the
American Forestry association Of
Washington, which is conducting the
national bird house building contest.
This bird has been called a symphony
In black and white because of the
beautiful manner in which these two
colors are used over his body. His
head is barred black and white, with
n white stripe over each eye; he has
white bars on each wing and the
inner webs Of his outer tail feathers
are white patched. This bird gets most
of his food by gathering insects and
grubs from the crevlces in the bark of
trees, thus destroying pests which
might work injury to fine trees.

Noble DAUGHTER Of Italy.

Like the wing of a dove across a
red battlefield of horrid curses, the
form of Vittorla Colonna, noble Ro-
man lady, glides across the terrible
horizon of Lucretia Borgia. The two,
Lucretia and Vittoria, had the same
environment Of civic and social life in
Rome. The one drank lust and cor
ruption; the other pure drops OF
heaven. Itwas the era of Michael An
gelo The rising young genius In Rome
was painting the portrait of Vlttorla
Colonna. The portrait is like a nun
at vespers. vittoria Colonna was of
the distinguished Roman family Of
great antiquity, the "Colonna." She
was woman Of brilliant parts, a poet
and scholar. Married at nineteen to
the duke Of Aratos, after his death on
the battlefield in the Franco-Italian
wars she remained widow the rest
of her life. Her poems, "Rime Spir-
itual," have great charm. 1t was DUR
ing her stay in Rome that she formed
the passionate attachment to Michael
Angelo that inspired many of the
great sculptor's sonnets and verses.
She died at the convent of San Sill
