Florida Homes Bright

Blues, greens, browns, reds and
purples-every hue Of the rainbow.
you see in the stucco houses and
bungalows which have made Florida
famous. The curious color effects are
secured either by Incorporating Ger
tain mortar colOrs In the plaster or
by painting the surface Of the stucco
with large brushes and the desired
pigment mixture when the surface has
dried. Pink and ivory with deep
green trim are popular combinations,
as are also mixtures Of lavender. blue
and mulberry with white trim. Pale
green with polychr0me Is also
standard color combination. The ma
jorlty Of these stuccO houses are
built with red tile roofs.

Law of Distance

The fact that smoke near smoke
stack appears to be dark and then
grow lighter and lighter is a good Illus
tratlOn Of the law of the inverse
square Of the distance. At one
foot radius from the center of the
stack, the surface exposed in any see
ton Is very small and the smoke
particles very close together and the
passage OF light through the particles
is almost prevented. The smoke then
appears black. At two-foot radius
the particles are twice as far apart
and only quarter Of the area Is
covered, allowing four times the light
to pass through This section Is con
tlnuous, and more and more light
passes through the smoke particles,
causing them to become OF much
lighter color against the sky bnrk-
ground. At some finite distance from
the mouth OF the stack, the separa-
ton has been so great that there Is
practically no more Interference with
the light and the smoke disappears.

Oasis in Sahara
That Is Productive

The oasis Of Adrar is in the western
part OF the Sahara desert in North
Africa, east Of the Spanish possession
OF Rio de Orc, of which II formerly
constituted part. A considerable
portion OF Its 10000 square miles is
fertile land on which dates and grain
grow. ostrlches are raised for their
feathers and salt Is mined. Due to
its position on the caravan route of
Morocco It Is OF considerable lmpor-
lance. The inhabitants are for the
most part Berbers, says the Dearborn
Independent.
An immense system of subterranenn
aqueducts, whose origin Is lost In an

Not even the legends of the most an
Client native tribes contain a history Of
their beginning Adrar lies at the bot
tom of natural depression that a
marvellous irrigation system connects
with reservoirs feeding the surround
ing plains at higher elevation. The
natives with no better Implements
than rude scoops and picks have dug,
at depth Of from 100 to 200 feet be
low the surface of the desert, spa
cious tunnels that extend for miles.
It rains but once In ten years at any

Jealous Man or Woman
Lacks SefEAssuronce

There is, perhaps, no such thing us
love without an occasional display Of
Jealousy" says Burton Rascoe. but
In every case | believe It will be found
that the one who Is Jealous has lost
for the moment his or her self-assur-
ance. 1t may be because OF illness or
overwork or protracted lack Of diver
sion.
"When l have been jealous or my
wife has been jealous | have always
noticed that our jealousy could be
traced to one of these three things
When have been jealous, they have
been occasions when | felt myself at
disadvantage, when my egoism was
not topnotch.
"The man who knows that he can
depend upon his wife not to leave him
In the lurch or desert him In crisis
or find some one else irreslstlbly more
attractive, Is pretty sure of himself,
sure Of his power to attract, sure OF
his wOrthIness as a man. This is true
also Of n woman. "-Hearst's Interna-

He turned to the little boy beside

Immediately the man turned and

Infant Mortality High
in the "Good Old Days"

The mothers Of Plus II and Dean
Colet had each twenty-five children in
the one case only ten grew up, In the
other only the dean. The parents OF
Philip Doddrldge, the original author
Of the second "Paraphrase," had twenty
children, but only Philip and sister
survived their infancy.
Thomas Gray, the poet, was the sole
survivor Of twelve. or the fifteen chill.
dren Of the earl and countess of Bridge
water, famed in connection with
Millions "Comus," five died young. OF
the twelve children of Richardson,
the novelist, all died young except
four Three of Ebenezer Erskne's
ten children died In two months, and
later he lost his favorlte daughter. OF
the eleven children of Edmund and
Catherine Nelson, parents Of Lord Mel
son, three died.
1t thus appears that even In favor
able circumstances children died at
an alarming rate. The heavy mortal
ity was not always due to poverty.
Dean Lolet's father was twice lord
mayor of London, and quite able,
therefore, to bring up large family.
In the case of Ebenezer Ersklnc's
children, lack of proper sanitation was
largely the cause. - Rev. William
