MAY COOL HOMES IN SUMMER
Hungarian Engineer Has Des'ored
Evaporation Scheme to Regulate
Temperature. Fn <" H., ...

Americans may soon be living In
'Hce houses"
The houses will not be the kind in
which ice is stored, but a new type
Of dwelling designed by Leopold Pol
lax. an engineer and constructor, Of
Budapest, Hungary. He Is contem'
plating building a house manufactur-
ing plant In Philadelphia so that the
public will have d place to escape the
sweltering heat without trekking
shoreward or northward. ri
Mr.. Pollak said that the houses will
be made OF itfusoriai earth and COW
cred with porous bricks. In appear
ance they will be similar to those
used by the natives Of South America,
who use monkey jugs" or water bot
ties made Of pottery. to cool their
homes. E- .-
The South American natives place
In each corner of room water jug,
and in a few moments the room Is
cooled by evaporation. Mr.. Pollak
does not go into detail about his new
plan, but states that he can regulate
the cooling of house in summer In
similar manner as that of heating
the same building in winter. He said
he can make home as cool as an ice
cellar on the hottest day in the year
at a cost of approximately 10 cents
q day.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Genius and Success.

Genius is only the power of making
continuous efforts. The line between
failure and success is so fine that we
scarcely know when we pass it; 50
fine TINT we are often on the line and
do not know IT. How many n man
has thrown up his hands at n time
when little more serort, a little more
patience, would have achieved SUGGEST
AS the tide goes clear out, so it comes
clear in. In business sometimes pros
poets may seem darkest when really
thew are on the turn. A little more
persistence, a little more effort, aud
what seemed hopeless failure may
turn to glorious success. There is no
failure except in no longer trying.
There is no defeat except from with
in; no really insurmountable barrier
save our own inherent weakness OK
purpose.-~Elbert Hubbard.

Salt and Dampness.

Salt Is what is called "hygrosco-
pic" that is, it eagerly absorbs mois-
ture. In fact, both air and salt are
absorbents Of moisture and it is a
contest between them as to which
gets it. Results depend On atmos-
pheric conditions. Ordinary atmOs-
phere always contains a proportion
Of moisture, and warm. air Is apt to
be more humid than cold, as it alb
serbs and holdsiawater vapor more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture that under such
conditions r. draws it from the air.
When the air becomes dry, the mois-
ture is given up by the salt, which in
turn becomes dry as it returns the
moisture to the air.

"CrepuscuIaW Sun. Rays.

The beams Of light sometimes seen
radiating from the sun when not far
from the horizon are called "crepuscu-
lar rays" They IRE due to rays Of
, light passing; through breaks in the
clouds and made visible by dust or fine
drops Of water in the air. Their ap-
parent divergence is an effect Of per-
spective., The phenomenon Is popularity
described as "the sun drawing water;
sailors speak Of the SUMS backstays,"

STILLMAN CRYS
"ENOuCH"- -D|VORCE
DETAILS CONTINUE

Poughkeepsie. n. Y, July 1S-After
half dozen witnesses had testified
today to intimate relations between
James A. Stillman, wealthy New York
banker and divorce plaintiff. and
Florence Leeds, former Broadway
show girl, the bankers counsel de-
clared they would not dispute or con-
tradict the evidence and asked Ref
cree Gleason to rule that mo further
evidence be required as to the adul-
terry of the plaintiff" The referee
denied the request after it had evoked
protests from the lawyers represent
ing. Mrs. Anne L. Stillman, the de-
PENDANT.
Colonel William Rand of Mr.. Still
mans corps of attorneys, was quoted
as saying that there being sufficient
evidence to prove one adultery-and
we frankly state that we will not at
tempt to contradict it-no occasion
exists for adducing further proof ex-
cept to satisfy a prurient public"
Attorneys for Mrs Stillman in
sisted that they should be allowed to
try the case 'in their own way" in
order that the evidence might satisfy
possible questioning before higher
courts.
Mr. Mack declared he desired to
present the intimacy between Mr.
Stillman and Mrs. Leeds in the ut
most detail, charging that for almost
five years their relations had been
"practcally those of man and wife"
Referee Gleason ruled that the de-
Tense proceed with presentation OF
evidence at least for the present.
Eugene Dutton, cashier of the Uni
ted States Mortgage and Trust COM
nany in New York, testified today
that Mr. Stillman opened an account
there for Miss Florence H. Leeds in
1916. that he took care of shortages
which resulted from her checks and
that in August 1917. the banker had
the account changed to the name of
Mrs Florence H. Leeds. He identi-
fed three applications for automobile
licenses which Mr.. Stillman made and
WhlCn the witness dlteSled DIS Hol-
airy public.
Viola F. Hill, who nursed Mrs.
Leeds after the birth of jay Ward
Leeds in September 1918 identified
Mr. Stillman's photograph as Mr..
Leeds" and told of seeing him and
Mrs Leeds in intimate postures.
Patrick McQuale, elevator man at
the apartment where Mrs. Leeds
lived also identified the photograph
and said he frequently had seen the
banker, Mrs. Leeds and Jay together.
Dr. James Ogilvie of New York,
testified to being present at the birth
of jay Ward Leeds but it was said
he declared he could not identify Mr..
Stilman's photograph as "Mr.
Leeds"
