Some ono with nn exquisitely cultivated
taste for statistical hunks , has rooted out
of mathematical chnos the engaging fact
that 7fi per cent of this country's Inhabitants
who live In the big eltlcs move every sum
mer , for a more or less limited period , from-
town to country * . The vacation hahlt has got
Into the brain r > ; id blood of moat of us ; we
have been Inoculated with the honey of n
Kiimmor day's Idleness nway from crowding
bricks and sizzling pavement. Even the
busiest man of affairs takrs time to un
hook his iieok from the modern Juggernaut
trade for n breathing spell In the open.
The old barbaric love for a larger freedom
than that which abides under a mansard roof
the cool seclusion ot a cive more1 wonderful
than Robinson Crusoe ever conceived. Proud
in the possession of an absolutely unique
BUmmer home , these modern cave dwellers
will not be swerved , for many seasons to
come , front their desire to get close to the
great warm heart of Mother Nature ,
| Emulating the cxtrnplc set ninny years
ago by Alphonsc Daudot , the French novel
ist , a llrooklyn , N , Y , , family spends two of
the three summer months of every year
In an ancient windmill , which stands Just
beyond tbo village limits of Jamaica , L.
1. The mill U o old that Hie oldest Inhab
itant of the latter town , In which old In
habitants are as numcimis as Its Improve
ment taxes , cannot remember when or by
whom the picturesque structure was built.
Its xtyle of architecture Js distinctly Dutch ,
and It Is certainly moro than ICO years old.
And It Is In this abandoned mill , whoso
Idle arms take nothing from Its external
attractiveness , a family of five persons live
Joyously amid the fields. Lighted by
numerous windows , clean , airy and full of
1 romantic suggestion , this old.llme tower ot
I commerce , converted to a robler use , makes
an Ideal country home. 'Its furnishings nro
generous , though not costly. Its chairs , cots
and tables are all In keeping with the
character of tbo structure solid and un
pretentious , There Is an air of quiet con
tentment about the place , and In ono ot Its
upper stones no better place to dream
away a summer's afternoon can too found
on old Long Island.
THE HOAT HOUSH IDEA.

of our bachelor girls who have mored their
lares and pennies Into the readjuutcd rev
mains of nn abandoned lighthouse on the
eastern shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The
quaint pile where this quartet of Intrepid
_ young women have found a temporary lodg-
j Ing place is about flvo miles north of Petit
| Hols Island In the gulf , and though a lone
some spot at any tlmo at year Its present
occupants have found no cause for regret
ting their housekeeping In the old ruin.
Feminine taste and considerable hard work
have converted the structure- Into a most
attractive home , and Its talr residents , being
students , hnvc no complaint against the
qulctudo that reigns eternally In their
neighborhood.
A discarded freight car sidetracked on an
unused spur of the St. Lawrence & Adi
rondack railroad -In the northern part ot
St. Lawrence county , Now York , has
Uimptcd one family group to settle In sweet
solitude and domestic happiness for a sum-
j mcr month or two. With but little dim-

and a welt-stocked farmhouse -half a mlle

comes upon us In the summer time , and the
smell of unturned earth , and the BlRht of
Kr < ! en things , give one a keener relish for
the fun of being alive.
In the evolution of the summer home of
the city dweller some odd notions In the way
of warm-weather abodes have sprung Into
( existence. Indeed , the architectural freaks
of the open country outnumber these of the
city three to ono , and the townsfolk of the
land nve , In the main , responsible for this
structural side-show In suburban parts. But
In all this straining after the unusual In
BUmmer homes , nothing , perhaps , has the
stamp .of originality more deeply impressed
upon It than thu warm-weather home of a
wealthy New York family , which , every year
exchanges the luxury of , a largo city real-
.ilcnco for the questionable comforts of u
fuinlshcd cave. Think of the fortitude of a
pater famlllas who can cash his check for at
least a cool million , and that of his wife , a
proud matron with two grown daughters
nnd a college-bred son , living out an entire
summer In the gash of a Catsklll mountain
Bide. It Is a slmplo nnd wholly Ingenuous
tribute of advanced civilization paid to tbn
memory of primeval man ; a case of society
stepping backward to the cave-dwelling
lieriod , a clasping of hands over the chasm
of centuries.
CAVB IN THE CATSKILI.S.
This family of summer cave dwellers Is
very comfortable , however , for Its rude hlll-
eldu homo has brcn transformed Into the
coziest mi lie of apartments In the Catskllls ,
Tht'ru la but ono considerable- Inconvenience
llio lack of daylight. The pioblem of ven
tilating the Inner rooms was long ago solved
Jiy the placing of a largo-mouthed tubing
leading from the rock colling of each room
to the outer air. A small exhaust ventilator
fan Is placed near the mouth of ouch of tin-so
pipes , ami In this way a constant current of
fresh air passes through the apailments.
Nothing tha $ inonoy can buy , excepting day
light , Is wanting to make the cavu a cool ,
cheerful and altogether comfortable dwelling
place. In lieu'of sunlight there are a score
of Incandescent elc-ctrlc lamps In vuri-
colori'd globes , sot In brockets of brass and

but artistic. There are three prettily dec
orated Bleeping apartments , u largo dining

uiwler a heavlly-follaged. arbor at the cave's

not unusual but engaging plan of hiring for
the summer a full-size canal boat and re
modeling It for the purpose of a home. Fur
nished with rugs and tapestries , a piano , in
numerable pictures that did not look un
natural on the sturdy side walls of the boat ,
ami divided into many apartments , the craft
makes a most Inviting place In which to
while away the vernal period. Aided by a
crow of three men , augmented by a brace of
mules that know their business , the happy
couple from Philadelphia have galled through
eve.11 luch of canal In Pennsylvania and New-
York , to tay nothing of small trips up
mid down thf Atlantic coast and Inland
Journeys on many rivers. Even In winter
this lloatlug house has been the scene of
numerous revels , and within the great long
hulk Is UH warm In midwinter as It is cool
by the srace of several newly cut windows
In summer. The proprietor and captain of
this broad-beamed sailing camp Is seriously
contemplating a journey as far south as

dwelling In which to spend their honeymoon ,
but a young Virginian and his .bluuhlng life

nurried folk. This bride and groom have
eii8coiisd themselves for a month past In a
tree-tup home a small , but perfect house ,
erected on a stout platform securely fas
tened to the top of an old oak , which for
half .1 century has stood In an out-of-the-
way nook within a day's ride of lllch-

eratum of the newly married , this pair
of loveis hive evidently realized the
highest ideal of men and women In their
position of life. At a distance ot tonic

which terves the purpose of a foundation
for this unusual house , Is braced to with

of light but durable wood , with a peaked
roof and two small chimneys. Klva windows

the fairest views to be. had In ono of the
lovelitht southern states. A wire railing btir-
nmmln the four edges of the platform and
a folding ladder of sturdy wire rope gives
access to the aerial cottage. It Is a veritable

COTTAGE ON WHEELS.
For morn than nix summers past Elbrldge
Klngley , the artist , bin wife and two chil
dren have spent the warm months In a
wheeled cottage drawn by a single horse
and fnniUhed In a most elaborate style. Of
course , this perambulating summer homo
i-annut boast of all ( he comforts one usually
llnda In a house of many rooms. Hut such
a * It If. It offers more enjoyment the
square Inch than the majority ot country
villas , There are folding cots and tables
within , and awnings , a veranda and an at
tachable tent affair used as a kitchen without ,
With a neatly painted exterior of cream and
brown hues , green blinds to each of Its four
windows and a toy-like chimneypot protrud
ing from 1U narrow roof , this chariot homestead -
stead In decidedly picturesque , It Is almost
tupmlumu to add that the Klugtleys' prl-
lutrrir cottage excltea the open-mouthed ad
miration of the good ruralltos among whom
the artist goes a-whceling tor landscapes ,
farming chmcte and cpug ry ar. Jji their
housf-oarrlage the Klngsleyi hive traveled
social club has been wont to pass the sum
mer. Only a few changes , such as parti
tioning and curtaining , .have been made in
an effort to make the strangely utilized
hulk a living place.
SEASHORE PAVILION.
Queerest of all summer homes , however ,
that have erstwhile been afloat. Is the In
verted schooner , flung on the beach below
Monterey , Call , and that now iloes duty as
a seashore pavilion , sheltering a family of
six health seekers. Nothing In history or
fiction unless It be Poggotty'B Yarmouth
cabin of Dickens' creation confronts this
schooner-liouso as a possible rival. Securely
embedded In the sands , there Is nothing sug
gestive of Instability about this vacation
home. Great care and not a little money
have been spent In the rehabilitation of the
fica-seasoncd craft until within and without
It is a model boothy , -place In which to
loaf and Invite one's soul when the sea purls
softly and the sun Is high.
There are other eccentric homes , make
shifts If you will , but structures within
whoso peculiar walls live and laugh house
holds who scorn conventionality and seek a
freer life than can be found In crowded
parts or places where fashion dictates ac
tion. There are several well-to-do families
whoso yearly custom it Is , when summer
comes , to float ftp and down the St. Lawrence
on log rafts , provided with tents for shelter ,
and more than ono household has closed Its
city doors for the cramped but novel quar
ters of a castaway borso car. The desire
to get nearer nature In the summer tlmo Is
etrong In most of us , though few have the
luidlhood to yield to her prompting. The
people whose summer homes are here de
scribed are a few of the daring ones ; they
have received their reward In ample per
tion.
COXXrillAMTIISS.
Murrlage U a very good thing for some
men furniture dealers , for Instance.
About the worst yet Is the Insinuation ot
a cynical bachelor that the old shoe Is thrown
after a newly wedded pair to typify that they
have put their foot In It.
As General Longstreet. according to a pic
ture In the Atlanta Constitution , uses a
pretty big ear-trumpet , perhaps after all ho
has not entirely missed the low. sweet whis
perings of love. Ho Is 7G and bis brldo Is
32 ,
Nothing has a greater tendency to make
a modest young bachelor blush than to got
Into a car where there are a lot of girls

SCCTIOM OF BLOOD STREAM.
KINETOSC'OPIC PICTURES.
Tor the whole world of biology , physiology
and medicine have entered upon the study
of all cell life of blood and of bacteria , wltb
a k en ti'iiso of their value In explaining
life and disease , Tint action and rhiir.ges
inking place In the living cells must be re-
led upon to explain many of their profoun 1
ihcnomena , us yet only slightly understood
or wholly unknown. Dr. WaUon has devlssl
this apparatus for the study of the olod ,
by photographing the changes ot the cells
and the action of the serum In the forma
tion of a clot. A drop of blood will live from
a half hour to an hour and sometimes
longer after being drawn. There are three
or four sorts of action steadily taking place
during this time. The red cells are chang
ing their forms , the white cells are expand
ing and contracting , like amoeba , and changes
are also going on in their nuclei , while the
serum Is slowly or rapidly thickening , ac
cording to Its condition. Into a clot. The
amorboid motion of the white cell an-.l tbo.
formation of the clot are the moat Impor
tant action taking place in the blood and
continuous photographs of these actions ,
though slow , are worth a great deal more
as a record than what one cm see with his
trained eye.
MOTIONS OP WHITE CELLS.
The contracting and expanding motions of
the white cells are not easy to .vatcli and
they are possessed of a world oi meaning.
The degree of tbeir energy is trn most le-
llablo at all witnesses as to the degree of
the resistance of the body agai.iat disease.
Suppose every policeman In tha city should
mope about the street with bis eyes half
shut and his head down , it would not be long
before crime and disease would t.ik < the city.
That is almost exactly what takes place In
the human body when the white blood cells
decline In energy. Dr. Watkins : ji\s learned
how to tlmo their action as noted In a series
of pictures taken with the mlcro-inotrscopo.
If they are luv.v and wary and alert , they
will show it. TIi > > thick and rapid forma
tion of a clot , especially 'nto ' long web-footed
lines Is an unco.iiradlctoj witness of romc
fatal malady lurking in .lie bodv. The blood
clots In most cases of apoplexy and bursts
an artery In the brain , so also It clots In
the brain arteries In paralysis. It clots In
the arteries of the head In nearly all heart
diseases. U clots at joints and exposed
places In rheumatism. The expert sees the
clot forming In tbo drying blood , but be sees
It In all Its progressive details In the pic
ture on the screen.
Tbo changes gokig on In the red bload cells
are not yet well understood , but this action
Is one of the highest functions of the blood ,
for It Is from the red culls tbat the serum
receives Its supply gf oxygen and It Is from
the serum that tbo tUBPes receive theirs ,
or rather their oixdizoa niaUrUl , It the
red cells are active In their changes of form
It Is pretty certain they are doing their duty.
No blood has over been photographed Iu ac
tual circulation , except a series of mlcro-
motographs Dr. Watkins succeeded Iu mak
ing of the blood stream in a frog's foot. This
picture was taken at the rate of about 2000
per minute and when the pictures were
thrown on the screen all the changes going
on In the cells and serum wore plainly seen
and all the above observations of changes
In drawn blood were confirmed. If living
tissue can bo ascn with the microscope , and
there are some of the best of reasons for be
lieving that It can , the mlcro-motoscopo will
become ono of the most Invaluable Inven
tions In science.
INTELLIGENT MICROBES.
But In the sphere of bacteriology It wll
certainly opens a new and wonderful world
The study of bacteria , aside from their con
nection with disease. U of absorbing Inter
est , for It has been shown from a number of
reliable experiments made by such men as
; Klebs , Dusany and others tbat many of these
) vast families of micro-organism are possessed -
. sessed of finalities akin to Intelligence Itself
| They behave under certain circumstances
: very like creatures of much higher organlza-
I Hon. Some of these bacteria , under the Influence -
! fluenco of electricity , light , heat , mechanics
I action and the temptation of food or poison
manifest a sense of Instability , greed , fear ,
! etc. , that Is surprising. Their actions under
'
, such conditions bavo never been photo
graphed. In fact , living bacteria have never
, been photographed at all. The pictures In
I the books show only the stained dead ones ,
, and bacteriologists have long been accus
tomed to speak of bacteria as without mo
tion , but this Is Incorrect , as has lately been
shown. Some families under stimulus move
with the swiftness of flies and mosquitoes.
The picture of the bacteria hero reproduced
Is of ono 'Of the very smallest families of

not In evidence , and Dr. Watkins fays it Is
duo to its peculiarity , which ls always per

iloiilar motion , which may be seen very
plainly with the eye. But If one will study
tbo series of pictures closely tbo chances
that arc always taking place will be no

INGENIOUS APPARATUS.
The apparatus and the method devised for
photographing are very simple. A gelatine
film fifty feet long Is wound on a wheel of
about fifteen Inches dlameUr. Geaied in
this wheel Is a smaller wheel turned by a
crank , This little machine Is hooded by a
box In which , Just opposite the revolving
film and on a direct line with the lover of
the microscope , IK a small window. At the
other end of the lens , lying In a horizontal
plane , Is concentrated a strong beam of light
from an electric lantern. The apparatus Is
capable of recording from 1,500 to 2,000 llg
tires a minute. In order to catch the rapid
motion of the blood stream In the vein or n
frog's foot , It had to bo turned to Its full
capacity , and the frog's leg was bound with
a cord to retard the motion. Hut the ca
pacity of the apparatus mny bo Increased
by enlarging the size of the wlii'el. The In
fractions of the lens In thojo pictures are
carried all the way from 10,000 to 15.000 , the
highest capacity of the mlsorosiope. It re
quires a very high power lens to photograph.

Dr. Watkins was asked as to the value o'
the pictures In making diagnoses for differ
cut diseases as shown In tbo blood. He tal' ,
that these series of plcturf * taken fron
time to tlmo In the progress of a disease or
Its cure , were of very great service to physi
cians' memory. Not rmly that , but bloo'

cclved from Africa. The malarial germ wan
still living In It when he photographed It.
Both blood and pictures can now be sent
by mall , end the pictures can be made use
of by doctors who do not have the facilities
for such photography.
