"THE MAD HOUSE"
Hark, I heard the walling of a woman
In despair,
The agonizing groans of one ln pain;
I could seem to see her pulling out
hrr strands of auburn hair,
The hair that once departs, comer
not again.
I clccnched my fists and pondered on
the course that I should take,
And chills of fear ran races up my
spine;
My adam'B apple rose and foil like
ripples on a wave.
But what caused all this grief came
not a sign.
I dashed In thru the open door und up
three flights of stairs,
Puffing like a fat man at a race,
Tho I'd' been around considerable,
seen all the county fairs,
My hopes seemed dead and bravery
out of place.
I burst Into the room from which the
agony had come
And halted like a wagon mired in
sand:
For a woman stood before me, eyes
distended, knocked clean dumb,
While she held a piece of music in
her hand.
When both of us recovered, why I beg
ged to be excused,
And I sneaked down stairs and out
into the air;
But yet I could not help a grin, could
not but be amused .
At the way that I'd been fooled In
the affair
And yet who hasn't walked beside this
mad house 'cross the way
Where squeaks are heard like axles
needing grease;
Who hasn't wondered why they seem
to thrive on, day by day?
Speak up or forever hold your
peace.

SUPERIOR BOYS TO

that the weiner roast will be an im
possibility, the party will be hold in
the club rooms, where a huge fire
place waits to be used to toast marsh
mallows and weiners.
This is t-he first party of the sort
to be given at the Army and Navy
club 6ince the rooms have been open
ed for social affairs. Dr. Carter, who
is at the head of the War Camp Com
munity Service here, says that he is
glad to see that the students of the
university are taking such Interest in
the plans to entertain the boys in
training. Small dances may be held
any night In the week if reservation
is made. There will always be a
proper chaperone and the good times
that all have been longing for are now
a certainty.
There is reason to believe that at
least some of the reports of the for
mer czar's death are greatly exag
gerated. Its victims would like to see hay
fever also classed among the non
eAeat!al9 and brrpd for the duration
of the war. .
That $250,000 worth of chewing
gum ordered for the British soldiers
w!U interfere somewhat with tne cig
arette habit.
Modern Comforts Well Known to
the Ancients.
Running Water In Houses, for In
stance, Wat a Lvxury Enjoyed by
Both the Roman and Early
Egyptian Civilizations.
Many of the so-called "modern Im
provements" of civilization, which so
largely contribute to the comfort of
living, are by no inouns so recent in
origin 09 we ore disposed to Imuglne.
An eminent archeologlst has recent
ly declared, for example, thut Nero's
pnlacu ln Rome had three elevators.
It Is true that those elevators must
have been hoisting machines of very
primitive pattern operated presum
ubly by man power, with the help of
rope and counter weight and It la
more than doubtful that they were
ever used to carry human freight. Few
palaces or other buildings ln ancient
Rome were more thaii two stories In
height, and pnssenger "lifts" were for
Hint reason not needed.
We are accustomed to think of run
ning water in houses as a modern lux
ury. New York city did not have it
until 1770, when a reservoir was con
structed east of Broadway, Into which
water was raised by pumping It from
wells dug for the purpose. But that
was a very primitive arrangement
compared with the system of oncient
Rome, by which water was brought
from great distances In aqueducts that
were marvels of engineering and that
emptied through lead pipes into thou
sands of tanks of hewn stone.
Erected at Intervals along the streets
of Pompeii were pillars of masonry,
up which ran lead pipes; and on top
of each pillar was a tank, from which
water was distributed by pipes to the
houses. All dwellings, except those of
the very poor, were thus supplied, and
some had nearly a score of faucets,
controlled by stopcocks that were
much like those that are in use today.
At many street corners there were
fountains with stone basins, the edges
of which even now show depressions
worn by the hands of the people who
leaned over to drink. Those fountains
were fed by tLt city water, which was
brought by an aqueduct from a distant
place so elevated that the "head" was
very powerful. That kind of engineer
ing was highly developed In those
times. When Julius Caesar first vis
ited Alexandria in Egypt he found
there so complete an underground
water supply system that the city
seemed "hollow underneath."
In the year 73 B. Julius Caesar
organized the fire department of Rome.
It had a force of 600-men. At that
time a primitive flre engine had al
ready come Into use; it was a pair of
pumps worked by a beam, and the two
streams united ln a common discharge
pipe and passed out through a nozzle
that could be turned ln any direction.
"Siphons" emergency flre extinguish
ers were commonly kept ln houses.
Frequent mention Is made of them In
ancient literature, but we do not know
what they were like. Youth's Com
panion. World's Biggest Wireless Station.
Japan is to have the greatest wire
less station In the world, according to
a report to the Japan Advertiser. It
will be built in Fukushlma prefecture,
says the department of communica
tions, and will cost 860,000 yen ($480,
000). The dispatch station will be at
Hibarigahara, near Harlamachi, and
the receiving station will be. at Hoso-ya-cho.
Survey work has been start
ed by engineers of the department
The direct distance between the new
office and San Francisco is 4,600 mllea,
while that between the Fnnabashi of
fice and Honolulu Is 8,250 miles. Serv
ice will not be opened for two years.
The new office will communicate direct
with San Francisco without relay 1ft
Hawaii.
Aid to Transplanting.
Transplanting flowering and vege
table plants is now greatly facilitated
by the use of paper flowerpots which
are nothing more or less than the fa
miliar paper drinking cups. For use
in the farm and garden these cupe
are perforated ana tne seeaungs ro
grown in tbem ln the nursery. When
it comes time to put the delicate plants
out in the open they are transferred
bodily, pots and all, and placed in the
ground. The transfer is attended by
no shock whatever, which Is rarely
the case when the roots are disturbed
during the operation as when removing
tbem from the little pots of clay which
are generally used for this purpose.
The perforations enable the rootlets
to find their way beyond the limits of
the pot, and so the paper does not In
terfere with their growth.
