ORIGINAL s9MausoLeun,"

The term ''mausoleum," applied in
modern times to a tomb of consider
able architectural pretension, was de-
rived from the tomb of Mausolus, a
Axing of Caria,, near the Aegean sea.
When he died in 1853 B. g., Artemisia,
his widow, erected at Halicarnassus
one Of the most magnificent tombs the
world has ever seen. Artemisia died
before the tomb was completed, but
the work was carried on by the most
famous sculptors Of ancient times, and
became known as one of the wonders
of the world-Kansas City Star.

SoIUing the Difficulty

While erecting new organ in
church at KIrkwalI, Scotland, the cleo
tricians were confronted with the
problem of getting an electric cable
through a 12-inch pipe, go feet long,
and bent at right angles in the middle.
A small dog was placed at one end of
the pipe, with string attached to his
collar. His master went to the other
end and called to him through the
tube, and along came the dog, the
string. and, finally, the cable.

Pnrlor Becomes Garage

In London a resident Of Muswell
HYlI found himself with a broom
house on his hands, but no garage
and no place on his lot on which to
bNGid one. The house had wide
front, and one side constituted the
morning parior while the other was a
drawing room. He remodeled the
front, building an artistic gateway
and turned what had been his parlor
into a garage. The large windows
were converted into garage doors so
that the general effect of the front of
the house Is not seriously disturbed
and his garage is not only handy but
adequate.
