In the quiet side yard Of the First
Congregational church, Admiral bou-
levard and Highland avenue. Kansas
City, the church has placed a we'll
designed fountain for birds. The
fountain is a rendezvous for all spar.

What's the use7

The business on a suburban line had
increased very rapidly, but there were
not enough trains or cars to accom-
modate the passengers. The over
crowding caused many serious discom-
forts. The superintendent was called
before the board Of directors and was
asked:
why don't you Immediately put on
more trains and carsr"
"well." he replied, "what would be
the use? They are settling so fast
along the line that the people would
al them up and overcrowd them Just
~ before"

MAKES A Permanent CHANGE
Why Eqa, Once Boiled to Hardness,
Will Not Soften With q Drop
In Temperature.

An egg contains a large proportion
Of albumen, intended by nature for
the nourishment Of the growing chick.
This albumen belongs to a class Of
substances which have the peculiarly
Of "coagulating' or turning solid when
exposed to a certain degree Of heat.
The action Is a permanent chemical
change, and these substances will not
again soften with drop in tempera-
ture. For this reason, scientists en-.
plain, the boiled egg hardens.
1t Is. too, for this reason that II is
impossible to cook an egg on the top
Of a high mountain, for there, owing
to a lesser atmospheric pressure, the
water boils at a lower temperature,
and this temperature being under the
"coagulation point" makes It impos
sible to "cook" an egg.

Blue skv and Hot Sun.

Experiments made last summer In
Europe show that the amount of radia-
ton received from the sun or the sur
face of the earth In clear day IL
greater with a dark blue than with a
light blue sky. In the latter case there
Is a higher tension of the water vapor
In the air. II is suggested that some
instrument capable Of measuring ac-
curately the intensity Of the blue OF
the sky would be useful in observa'
lions on the variable transmission Of
the suns heat through the atmosphere

HOW
HEAT Is WASTED THROUGH

HEAT Is WASTED THROUGH
FAULTY FURNACE SYSTEM.
I'm heating houses we really
use ten times as much coal as
Is necessary" Charles z. Stein
metz, research expert for the
General Electric company, said
recently in a contribution to the
coal number issue of the Survey
Graphic.
1--WE could save nine-tenths OF
it, but we probably will not do
so until forced to Ii by fall
ing coal supply, for to save
would require Il radical change
in building construction.
Usually over 80 per cent Of
all the heat from our furnaces
is lost. Although we must re-
place the foul air with fresh air,
there Is no reason why we
should throw away with the foul
air all the good and valuable
heat which 1t contains and not
supply new heat to the fresh air.
II it were properly arranged we
would take the heat out Of the
foul air before we exhaust 1t,
turn 1t into the incoming fresh
air, and so heat the incoming air
by the heat Of the outgoing
warm air.
"This recovery Of the heat Is
called the regenerative system OF
heating. We could do this by
passing the outgoing warm air
around the outside Of the pipes
which bring In the fresh air and
so warm the latter by the former.
by proper building construc-
ttcn the loss could be made
slight, so that very small
amount Of heat would warm the
house; so small, indeed, that II
would be economical to heat
houses electrically; economical
to own a house without Chin
ney, even though the price Of
electric energy must always re-
main many times greater than
the price Of coal, considering
the same amount Of energy"

How Limo Increases Fertility.

How Limo Increases Fertility.
That lime or calcium salts increases
the fertility Of animals has been strfk-
ingly shown by the German physiolo-
gists Emmerich and Loew, In a recent
investigation reported in Umschau
(Berlin). They used three groups Of
mice in their experiments. The first
group was given ordinary food; the
second received the same with the ad-
dition Of measured quantities Of table
salt (sodium chloride), which has also
the reputation Of increasing fecun-
dity; the third group received CORE
spending amounts Of calcium chloride
instead of the sodium chloride Within
a given length Of time the three
groups bore offspring % times, SO
times and 43 times respectively. In
spite Of the great increase Of the num-
Der of litters In the third case, the
total number Of individuals was also
greater. At the end Of seven months
covered by the investigation, the three
groups had produced respectively 116,
ITO and 262 young.

Fire Prevention.

The general program of instruction
concerning fire prevention is arranged
largely for the benefit of school chill
dren. If these young persons can
be sufficiently impressed, much good
will be accomplished. Yet there Is
much for the grown-ups to learn re-
gerding the proper storage Of coal, the
removal Of rubbish and other things
which, experience teaches, cause fires.
This campaign Of instruction is highly
important and should be given heed
by all having the welfare of their COM
rlunity at heart.

How q Fish Flea

Some highly interesting observa-
lions on flying fishes have been made
by DR.. e. H. Hankin, in the Arabian
sea. In still weather the length Of q
glide was about a meter, with con-
siderable lateral instability; in a light
wind this was increased to from 200
to 400 meters. A resemblance be-
tween the wing action Of soaring vul-
lures and the fin action Of the fishes
was marked. In both, the wing or fin
is inclined upward. the outer part
at higher level than the base, In
slow-speed flights, while both show q
downward inclination in flight at
high speed.

Counter for Golfers.

An instrument designed to keep an
accurate account of the strokes made
between holes, and worn like a wrist
watch, is a novel appliance for the
golf enthusiast, and is described with
illustration in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. On the dial Of the instru-
ment is small pointer which Is
moved after each stroke.
