MidiI (..rlliu J.All'LUALLhluusCltJ.loHM, "Raw. Garith" Modern Athene. An American traveler writes: "Ath ens Itself, as a city, is Insufferable." It is raw, garish, new, staring, crude. It smells of paint. It reeks of varnish, it is redolent of last week. It is the newest city one sees In Southern Eur .epo It is dusty, It Is noisy, it is vul gar. Kverythlng in it is Imitation. The palaces are Imitation. The hotels arc imitation. The city is a ghaut. It Is a joy to leave the commonplace streets, to quit the insufferable city and to climb the Acropolis. There everything is calm and peaceful and the magnificent ruins are restful. There only In Athens do you find a spit which is not oppressively new and raw. The royal palace is one of the newest and the rawest of all the raw, new buildings." Giants In the Navy. Apprentloi's ranging in stuture from G feet 4 to 1 lent C nre included among those on the I'niied States training ship Monon.-.ahcla. When Hear Ad miral Coghlan visited the vessel of ficially not long ago he was saluted by half a dozen giants on stepping on board. The same number of pyg mies had the post of honor when he was leaving some hours later. The admiral commented on the difference as he was taking leave of his old friend, Captain Itees, who assured him that they were the same apprentices. "You see," said the captain, "my boys are a very shy, deferential lot. They always shrink up a little In the pres ence of a rear admiral. They'll swell tip again shortly."

Mt IhW, I ftiV V I Invention. Patent Picture-Hanger. I'lillty Is t'.e fundamental law of design. Judi;e1 by this standard alcne the picture-hanger shown is probably without a worthy peer. but. from an esthetic viewpoint, the critics may be inclined to think that the dpslgn still leave much to be desired. This hang er Is Intended to insure a horizontal position of the picture frame when hung, and to facilitate the operation of hanging and adjustment. I'nder many conditions, as in art slu,ps whore, j resuir.ably, the pictures on the line hae to be frequently changed, and where it is necessary to remove them from the wall fre quently for inspection In different lights, etc., a hanger that will admit of ready adjustment as to height, in sure stability of the hung frame, and permit the frame to bi removed by a person grasping it, is a treasure. In deed. The illustration shows a hanger which combines all these features. The hook adapted to engage an ordl nary picture molding is made of sheet metdl. and of suflicient width to in sure broad bearing to avoid tipping. To tho hook are attached Indepen dently two suspension rods, adapted to diverge from the same at different angles. These members are of com posite construction. The upper sec tion consists of a length of wire, ter minating in a hook. This is joined by a second length, composed prefer ably of flat sheet metal, bent at its tipper enS to form a cylinder, or ear. Into the orifice of which the wire Is passed. In this ear are several open ings which receive the hooks at the r Picture Hanger. end of the wlro sections, thus effect ing an adjustment of the length of the hanger. The lower sheet metal member is independently adjustable, by reason of a pivoted lower section, forming an elbow joint, which permits of considerable latitude in the adjust ment of the aggregate length of the hanger. As the hanger forms a more or less rigid whole. Its use anables a picture frame to be readily hung on or removed from the wall without the assistance of a stepladder. Folding Chair for Theaters. The chairs commonly used in thea ters and auditoriums do not permit of .the rapid emptying of their occupants, the only egress being in a tra verse direction, resulting by the im mediate congestion of the entirely too contracted aisles. The object of a re cent invention is to provide a chair which will materially enable the pub lic to escape promptly In case of fire or emergency. Side frames of the chairs are placed In rows and parallel to each other, each of which serves for the attachment of a folding seat ami a back. When r.ot in use the hinged scat is turned up alongside one side frame. The hinged back closes in next to It. A spring engages with tho edge of Mie back, preventing It from accidentally dropping. The seat being folded toward the back, tho latter Is free from connection with the next side frame, thus afford ing numerous comparatively free pas sageways. It is possible, though, not desirable, by employing this style of chair, to entirely dispense with the middle and sidt passages or aisles. Measures Soil Temperature. A new Desert Hotanical Laboratory has recently been established at Tuc son. Ariz. A most novel device at the laboratory Is an Instrument for regis tering the Temperature of the soli. This device was invented by Dr. D. T. MacDougal, of the advisory board, who has been spending some time at Tuc son. A copper tube connects the in strument with a copper cylinder burled In the ground. On a disc, which makes a revolution once a week, operated by clockwork, a pen registers the tem perature of the soil for every hour and minute In the day and week. One of these records Is being taken at the New York "niVanical Gardens, and another at the Tropical Ilotanlcal Lab oratory, established in Jamaica last July. It has been found that the tem perature of the soil between day and night varies one degree in New York- em! five In Arizona. The Newest Explosive. The latest In explosives Is powdered aluminum mixed with nitrate of am monia and put upon the market under the name of "ammonal." This explo sive Is said to be one of the surest and safest known, as it cannot 1p exploded by friction or blow, while otherwise containing all requisites of an explosive. Metal Industry. An Appropriate Bridal Gift. The newest tiling for a girl to give to a friend about to he married is a bridal set. This consists of a corset bug for the corset, a hair and how to slip Into the low bust corset, and a pair of ribbon Lands to hold a set of underwear. A dainty one Been recently was of pale pink satin ribbon embroidered with forget-me-not a, and had the monogram of the bride-to-be on each piece. Tho bodice bag and how was I unique arrangement which was made to slip Ini.i the corset length wine Instead of crosswise. It had a ompnrtment for money and another for Jewelry. A separate piece of satin hlrrd around the top like a frill nade a pocket for the powder puff, nd also made a corset chou when Irawn up. , . EtI ft I M t " II RECONSTRUCTING AN OLD BARN. Good Building With Little Financial Out'ay. V. T. K. I have an old barn 4'x;) feet, and another Slx'it f''' fr"" which I would like to construct on building and put a stone basement underneath It. I want the basement to accommodate about .!0 head of cat tie. 7 head of horses. So head of swine and a root house to hold 2."'i" bushels. Please give me your advice and pub lish a suitable plan for my basement. Hy taking down your shed aud building it along one side of your barn you would then have a handy barn, both in the basement and above. You could store the most of you." straw nt threshing time w ithr.ut stacking It. and would have abundance of room in the stable, which could be laid out to good advantage. The plan shown is for a barn Ci by CO feet. Tho basement consists of a horse stable of Ave single stalls, and r f ,' " I , i if' JPf- t 4 P. "Irr "ZT II I. -3 i rf is ' Basement Floor Plan of 00x60 Feet Barn. A. Knot housi: H. box stalls: C. horse stabl"; L). row stables: K. feed rooms; IiatnaKf behind c-nws; G, jmr pens; H, Butters behind cows: I, mansera ftnd troughs; J, posts under bents 111 barn above. a box stall which can be converted Into a double stall if desired. The cow stable holds thirty head of cattle and provides three rows of stalls all double except two, the west row is for young stock as the stalls aro ihorter than the others, and there is one box stall for cattle. There are three pig pens with thir ty-eight feet of trough capable of feed' ing twenty-eight hogs. The root house is 18 by 30 feet and will hob: between sixteen and seventeen hundred bush els of roots. I understand by your letter that you have a stone basement 20 by 24 feet under part of your shed next the barn. Could this not have a roof put on it and made !nt-j a pig pen? There could be a door from it bailing to the base raent of the barn;, this would remove the pigs from the other stock which yo'.i would find an improvement. You could thon have tho root house where the pig pen is shown on the plan, nnd the spaca marked for the root house used as a drive house, as it is next your horse stable and would be con venient to hitch and unhitch, without being exposed to the weather. The great majority of farmers whom I have built barns for have their lm plement sheds in separate buildings, away from the barns, so that In the case of fire they aro not destroyed, which I think is a good plan. 1 may say that the windows In the passage behind the two rows of cattle and in the feed alley In front of the horses are framed In the door Jambs in order to bring the windows nearer tho passage to let In more ligW. Tonka Bean. W. A. P. S. Will you kindly tell me where the tonka bean can be bought? Druggists here have it. but it is deprived of its growing power. The tonka, tonquin, or cotima rounia beans of commerce are tha seeds of the South American tret dipterlx oderata. When fresh thesa nre exceedingly fragrant, having a a Intense odor of newly made hay. This tree botanicaliy is of considerable la-te-est, as It Is one of a small genua of eight or ten species, all of which are large fcrest trees of Brazil, Gui ana and the Mosquito Coast. If yoa could obtain new seeds from South America without the outer, covering being broken it Is probable that thesa seeds would grow. In commerce, for the convenience of carrying, tha seeds, whlck are the only part valu able for export, are taken from tin pods and dried thoroughly before ship ping. As the plant which bears the tonka beans Is a forest tree running up to an average height of CO feet it is probable that the beans would not be produced until the plants ha.1 at tained considerable age. It is Mated that when tonka bean plajis ars once started that they are ejslly pre pagated from ripened cuttings planted In sand. They must be kept in moist heat and covered with a hand glas.i, Keeping Butter Sweet. L. II. Do you know of anything that will keep butter from going strong? The safest and best butter preserva tives are cleanliness and low tempera ture. The former should be exercls ed in the keeping of the cows, milking, straining, separating, ripening 0f the cream, churning, etc. The milk when drawn from the cows whose udders have been washed or brushed, should be allowed to filter through sterilized cotton batting into cleansed and scald ed palls. It should then be separated with a thoroughly cleansed machine and the cream pasteurized and ripened with a ferment or starter of good quality. The butter should be washed with brine anil salted at the rate oj one ounce to the pound, and then placed In clean packages, in tom. perature at or below the freezing point, where it should Keep sweet for an almost indefinite period.
