It A citizen of Troyes has constructed a house for himself which is the won der of the town and, it might be add ed, of France. Naturally, the wonder Is' accomplished by means of electric ity. There are electric wires to every part of the house and garden and such a number of ingenious contriv ances that it looks as if he had al most solved the domestic servant problem. A telephone connects every part of the premises with the garden gate. As soon as a visitor rings he hears the Inquiry: "Who is there?" When he has given his name the master welcomes him through the telephone and the gate opens, and again closes when the visitor has-entered. In the vestibule, before he Is aware of it, magic brushes clean his boots, and the door opens aatomatlcaly, while a mysterious voice tells, him where to find the master of the house. The lat ter may be in his study taking a cup of tea and the visitor has only to ex press a wish when a second cup of tea appears on the table in answer to the pressure of the button. Meals are served In the same way, and come au tomatically from the kitchen, news papers and letters are deposited on the drawing room table as soon as they are" dropped in a box near the garden gate and most of the pro visions for the kitchen are Introduced in the same expeditious way. Heat and light, of course, are distributed at will all over .the house, and at night a guest may have warmbottlea at his feet-by merely pressing n but ton. The Inventor of the magic house has not yet altogether dispensed with servants, but while waiting- for their entire abolition he la constantly with in earshot of the maid the cook and the gardener, and the ubiquitous tele phone transmits to him faithfully every word they say to each other, with the result that they dare not say one disparaging word about their master unless they are miles away front hiss..'
