Water Wheel Floats
A water wheel *has been Invented
which is designed to adjust itself auto
matically to the varying helight of the
propelling stream. As first construct
&d the wheel has eight V-shaped pad
dles about 13 feet long and 14 Inches
wide, and it is so mounted on an air
tight tank that it rises and falls with
the river's changes through any height
up to 86 feet. It Is used for pumping
irrigating water from a distance of
280 feet to a height of 70 feet above
the source. Pumps and gearing are
placed on the river bank, and the
wheel and tank are connected by a
shaft having universal couplings at
sach end.

Situation Summed Up
' i
| in One Short Sentence
Robert was in for a trylng ordeal
and he knew It. As he stopd .on the
doorstep of old Mr. .Green's house he
assured himself that there were far
easler things in the world than coming
to “ask father." '
A mald opened the door and he was
shown Into the drawing-room while
the servant approached her master,
Some few moments later he found
himself alone In th& library with the
old gentleman, who was looking very
,Stern, due to an attack of Indigestion,
“Ah, here you are,” was Mr, Green's
not too gracious greeting. *“And why
do you want to marry my daughter?”
This took Robert by surprise, and
before he could think of a fitting reply
“the query vu_rebe-tod:
“Now, slr, come. Why do you want
to marry my daughter? That's what
I want to know.”
“Because—er—er—" stammered the
young man. “I—er—l have no rea
son.”
“Exactly, my dear sir,” broke in the
older man. “Exactly. You can't have,
or you wouldn't be so anxious to mar
ry her.”
Nature’s Laboratory
Reaching a temperature below 30
degrees Fahrenheit, the Great Salt
lake manufactures sodium sulphate,
and accommodatingly casts it up on
the beach, The fact that the deposit
of sodium sulphate can be gathered
before it goer Wck into solution has
led to ifse construction of a plant for
harvesting and refining the material
into a commercial product. The aver
age period of production will be two
months each year. During a season
of mild winter there may be none pro
duced, and during years of cold win
ter the sodium sulphate may be pre
cipitated for three months, judging by
weather records of 20 years.
Florida Homes Bright
Blues, greens, ' browns, reds and
purples—every hue of the rainbow—
you see in the stucco houses and
‘bungalows which have made Florida
famous. The curious color effects are
secured either by incorporating cer
tain mortar colors in the plaster or
by painting the surface of the stucco
with large brushés and the desired
pigment mixture when the surface has
dried. Pink and ivory with deep
green trim are popular combinations,
as are also mixtures of lavender, blue
and mulberry with white trim. Pale
green with polychrome is also g
standard color combination. The ma
jority of these stucco houses are
built with red tile roofs.

Window No Barrier \
_ to Flight of Hawk
R. B. Bldlake supplements the tale
of a hawk following a bird Into a
house by relating the following Inci
dent which occurred In a house In
Courity Donegal a few years afo, says
the London Post. *“The staircase went
up straight in front of the hall door
and turned abruptly about twelve or
fourteen steps up. At the turn there
was a very high window reaching al
most to the ceillng., As I went up the
stalrs a swallow flew over my head
from the door, followed by an im
mense hawk, which came along with
such fearful impetus that it went
right through the window like a shot
and all the splintered glass fell
around me,
“I had just time to duck my head
and got the most of it on my back. We
found the swallow upstairs In the
landing and let It out through a win
dow and then went round thinking,
perhaps, we should find -the hawk
stunned in the garden. But it had dis
appeared, Only the hole in the win
dow was witness to the tale.”
Perfume by the Ton
A Sunday paper states that Grasse,
in the south of France, is the chief
center of perfume manufacture, and
that nearly 2,000 tons of orange blos
soms, about 1,000 tons of roses, 150
tons of violets and 130 tons of jasmine
are handled by one company each sea
son. It is stated further that the area
of flower farms producing for the per
fume industry is over 100,000 acres,
says the Flower Grower.
With the manufacture of synthetic
materials of many kinds the natural
perfume industry of southern France
will doubtless suffer, as have other in
dustries depeudent on the natural prod
uct; but it ils a question whether the
manufactured perfumes can be made
to take the place of the natural ones.
Sir Robert’s Destination
A Londoner went north to attend
the funeral of a local magnate who
had not been too popular by reason
of not paying very large wages. After
the ceremony, he returned to the hotel
before leaving for London. There—
over the smoking-rbom fire—he en
countered the head stalker of the
estate, who had not attended the ob
sequies. “Well, Duncan,” said the
traveler, “we had an awful day of
storm and rain for the funeral. Would
you believe it, we had to let the cof
fin down into two feet of water.}
“Ay,” said the stalker, “Sir Robert Wwill

REPORTING DISEASES IMPOR
-
e i s
It {8 very essential that physicians
report all of their communicable and
infectious disesses to the Board of
Health. It is the only index that.the
health authorities have of knowing
what diseases exist in & given count
or State. The physician should t
prompt in making such reports, as of
ten something can be done to bene
fit the section from which such re
port comes, but if the report {s de
layed, assistance cannot be given
as effectively. Every one who
has a * catching " disease
should obey the rules of quarantine,
and every family should be eager to
protect their neighbor against sick
ness. If you have a case of sickness
that i{s reportable, remind your phy
sician to report it rijght away. He
has cards furnished him for the pur
pose; the postage is free; it requires
only a half minute of his time. Do
all you can to protect your own
against disease and assist your State
Board of Health to get the necessary
data, so that the reports may go to
Washington on time. It is not an un
usual thing to have more deaths from
a disease than there are cases report
ed. This is neglect, pure and simple,
yet it holds Georgia up to ridicule in
our nation.
Handg come in contact with many
unclean things, and are a common
medium of carrying and conveying in
fection—hence the admonition to make
the washing of hands before meals a
habit. They are a menace to the in
dividual through unconsciously being
carried to the face, nose and mouth
many times a day and to others by
the unfortunate habit of handshaking,
which should be abolished, the indi
cation which gave rise to the custom
no longer existing and which originat
ed in ancient and feudal times when
the open hand was extended to show
that it contained no weapon.

Health Report Ready

State Board of Health is ready for dis

to make application for it. If you want
