Good Idea to Note How Dame Nature
Ha$ Arranged Growth to the
Beit Advantage.
In a state of nature, shrubs that
grow In masses or thickets stand close
together, Intermingle their branches
from the time they spring up us seed
lings and make their growth wholly
upward from an early age, since the
light Is shut off from them on all sides
by tlielr crowding neighbors. Thus,
all run to height save those on the
outermost edge of such mass.
To arrange a planting that will at
once conform to this that Nnture
produces, shrubs that grow erect and
"to the top” must be used for back
ground, with low-growing, spread
ing, and even drooping kinds planted
against them. Yet ttie mlstnke of a
monotonous, evenly graded hank of
green extending from the turf upward
everywhere Is to be avoided, for this
Is truly fearful In Its artificiality.
The proper way to nssemble a
shrubbery Is to cluster the Individual
shrubs loosely and Irregularly, group
ing them by kinds, In the main, but
invariably scattering the kinds to
gether at the edges of each group:
and further scattering one or two of
any dominant kind here and there
throughout the entire muss. Or, to
express It In formula: All varietal
clusters should give way on their
edges to the neighboring variety, so
that a friendly Intermingling shall
prevail, to a considerable degree In
some places down to almost none at
all In others; for all the world as
daisies and buttercups Intermingle In
a meadow.

Name “Devil Fish” Is Appro
priate for Sea Monster
Man} uuiliois have writ tun thrilling
descriptions of the devil fish, ami al
though scientists declare that usually
these accounts are exaggerated, the}
admit that the creature has many curi
ous teatures.
The devil fish varies iu length from
1 Inch to bu feet, but very few speci
mens of the largest kind have been
found, and none of these was In per
fect condition owing to the fierce at
tacks of whales and other monsters
of the deep.
They are provided with sucker arms
or tentacles, with which they catch the
small fish ou which they live. These
arms are tremendously strong, and, In
addition, the devil fish is urmed with u
sharp parrotlike beak. In spite of
these formidable weapons, however,
the creatures, while cruel, aro very
timid mid easily cowed, says a writer
In London Tlt-IUts.
The smaller devil fish swim In shonls,
and ns they move they change their
color according to tlielr surroundings.
They have another device which en
ables them to escape when hard
pressed. This Is the Ink bag, by means
of which they can pour out a dark
fluid which makes the sea around them
thick uml cloudy.
In uppcurunce the devil fish Is a
loathsome creature, for Its long, writh
ing arms and fixed, stony sture are
terrifying In the extreme.
Besides being able to swim, It can
crawl along the sen bottom on Its
feelers. It lies In some crack In the
rocks and us soon as a fish pusses Its
hiding place Its feelers shoot out with
amazing speed. Once the suckers have
touched the victim there Is no escape,
and it Is drawn quickly Into the greut
mouth.

Bungalow V*. Two-Family.
Put n two-family house on the usual
size lot and the neighborhood at once
takes on a citified look. A bungalow,
probably costing less than half, on the
same lot would preserve the charac
ter of the neighborhood. But If the
town, In seeking to malntnln Its sub
urban characteristics, zones out the
two-family structure, Is It within Its
constitutional rights or does It unrea
sonably Infringe the rights of the
property owner?
There is a very nice question here,
the right of the neighborhood ns
against thn Investment right of a
single property owner, and compli
cated by the constant likelihood of op
eration by the real-estnte speculators.
Probably it Is the last that make most
of the trouble. It would be quite an
intricate calculation to say whether
the maintained value of the neighbor
hood would In case of resale compen
sate the Individual bungalow builder
for what fie might have eurned by
building a two-fnmily house and rent
ing one floor.—Newark Evening News.

How Air Specimens Are 8ecured.
The instrument used by a French
scientist for collecting specimens of
air at high altitudes with the nld of
sounding hulloons consists of a very
perfect vacuum tula* with a finely
drawn out end. Either the rise of the
mercury In n barometer, correspond
ing with a previously determined alti
tude, or the clockwork of the meteoro
graph. form an electric contact,
causing u little hammer to fall nnd
break the end of the tube. Air then
rushes In, whereupon another electric
contact, brought about by the same
means, causes the current of a small
accumulator to heat the platinum wire
wound around the capillary tube to a
red heqt. This fuses the glass and
again closes the end of the vacuum
tube, thus entrapping the ulr.

Planting the Lawn 8hrubbery.
It Is an axiom of good design that
a lawn that Is broad, sweeping nnd |
picturesque shall be planted In a broad, 1
sweeping, picturesque manner. Straight '
lines must never show anywhere, j
either ns boundaries at the founda
tions of buildings or as drives or •
walks. The effect to be created Is of i
a broad, open glade In the midst of !
the forest—or at least In the midst of ,
dense and secluding growth, if the Im- j
pression of actual forest background
Is impossible. On every side should
be vlstss of swirling masses of shrub
bery suggestive of the shores of a bay
or any small body of water—shrub
bery that looks to have been pushed
back and piled against the heavier
background materlul to make a cloar
space where the turf may grow.
Why Termed Eavesdropper.
Everybody knows, of course, that
eavesdropping means the practice of
stealthily trying to overhear other per
sons’ conversation. The origin of the
phrase leuds us back to the beginnings
of the laws of real estate.
According to the old Saxon code
no one owning land could cultivate
It or build on It within a certain fixed
distance of Its boundary. Here we
have the start of what today we call
“restriction.”
The strip thus left was called the
“eavesilrip.” An "eavesdrlpper” or
"eavesdropper” was one who stood In
the "euvesdrlp” to listen to a conver
sation inside the neighboring dwelling.

To Study City Planning.
About thirty of the large cities of
California, If the extension division
of the University of California and
the Real Estate association of that
state carry through their Joint plan,
will have the benefit of a unique series |
of conferences on city planning that I
was begun nearly a year ago In Los |
Angeles, where the regional problems
of the vicinity offered an especially
fruitful basis for discussion. Another
course, aided by local experts, was
given in Oakland.
Why the 8ea Is 8alt.
The sea is salt because all the rivers
In the world are carrying salt from the
rocks and the soil to the ocean nnd
leaving it there. The water Is evapo
rated by the sun, but the salt re
mains behind, nnd so the ocean Is be
coming more salt as the years go on.
Some lukes and seas are in like con
dition. as witness the Dead sea in
Palestine, which Is very salty, because
the River Jordan enrries salt Into It,
but there Is no river flowing out of
It, and the salt keeps gathering all
the time.
Why It Is Called “Penknife.”
Our ancestors, when they wanted
to write, used goosc-qullls, which had
to be sharpened from time to time as
they wore away. Hence clerks and
other writers carried small knives,
which became known as penknives."
