PURE WATER FOR HOLY CITY
British Have Repaired Pontlua Pllate’e
Reeervelr and Death Rate Hae
Dropped One-Half,
Jerusalem, situated outside the val
ley of the Kedron, boasts of only one
■mall spring the Virgin's fount, so
named because It la believed the Moth
er of Christ drew water from It. Ever
■lnce Solomon's dny the want of wa
ter has been felt In Jerusalem, and the
British, since their occupation, decid
ed to repair and use the old reser
voir, now known ns Blrkett Assoub
end lying a few miles to the south of
Solomon’s pool. It was built by Pon
tius Pilate and It was from here that
he brought water to the city In the
days of fciirlst. Pilate's old reservoir
was repaired and enlarged, Its capac
ity today being 0,000,000 gallons, nai
leries were built In various directions
to tap the numerous surrounding
jyrings, Including those of Ain, ed Plr-
weh, In which, II Ts said, "Philip bap
tised the eunuch. A powerful pump
ing plnnt was Installed by which the
water Is pumped up to large reservoirs
hullt on higher ground on the Hebron
^JSad, the water flowing from here
by Its own gravity In one-foot iron
pipe to twin pools on the hill west of
the city, from whence It is conducted
to various standpipes In and around
Jerusalem. Pilate's aqueduct, ruins
of which dot the landscape today,
ptretched for n distance of dp miles,
■dHSugli as The crow flies the Hoiy city
lies but 18 miles away, The British
jplpe line, however, Is but 10 mlleij ]n
total length, As a result of this Brit
ish enterprise the death rate In the
city has dropped by one-balf.

Blrinlhglmiu was sitting out W my
front porch when a flock of crows
tlew across one of my flelds," said R.
B. Posey, "and he remarked that It
was the biggest lot he had seen for
years, and asked If they did not In
jure my crops. I replied that until I
got onto a way to keep them out of
my watermelon patch they ruined a
lot of them by pecking holes In one
ami then hopping for another.
"I tried various ways but without
success, until I'put poleH around the
patch mid ran .lust an ordinary piece
of cotton around them about eight
fed from the ground, and between the
poles tied pieces of cotton to flap In
the wind. It worked like a charm.
"A neighbor of mine used to suy
that he was advised to put an old um
brella in the middle of the patch, and
he did II, lint one day creeping up,
behind It, he peeped over It and there
sm a hunch of crows having a wa
termelon feast,"—l.os Angeles Times.
I No New-Fangled Notions.
John came from down slate to the
city schools. lie was plaeed In the
seventh grade, mid then Ills toucher’s,
troubles began. His mother thought
the course of study should he Idontlcal
with the one which had held sway In
the faraway red schoolhoiise. She ob
jected strenuously to physical culture
mid music, saying they were a waste
of time.
And then came John’s first dny at
manual training. The next dny came
au Indignant note to the teacher from
John's mother. It rend: “Dear Miss
1 wont you to quit having John
waste Ills time ut school. That music,
and physical torture exercise was bad
Enough, but now you begin to learn
him to whittle. Pl n nse stop It Imme
diately -or I'll change him to another
school. He Inherits wlilttlelng from
his father and Ids brains from me. I’m
paying to educate him, so educate his
brains."—Indianapolis News.
i Superheated Steam.
Two decades ugo few would have
admitted the possibility of permanent,
ly regularly producing steam at tem.
peratures of from 550 degrees to 650
degrees Fahrenheit within the re
stricted area of tile ordinary locomo
tive boiler. Now thousands of loco
motives use tills superheated steam,
and Its use 'Is Increasing;.
By heating steam 180 degrees
Fahrenheit above the saturation tem
perature “hot steam” Is produced.
With this Increase of temperature the
steam is dried and the volume Is In
creased. But the Increase of volume
Is less Important than the suppression
of all condensation In tile cylinders
If the superheat Is sufficiently high.
Hot steam being a bad conductor it
also reduces loss by cooling In tile
cylinders from 25 to 80 per cent, ac
cording to type and structure of the
engine.
THE MOUTH IS THE SOURCE OF
INFECTION
Most contagious diseases find their
way through the mouth.
Disease germs cannot thrive or sun
vlve unless bad conditions exist.
Defective teeth causes much of the
sickness among children and adults.
By careful attention to the cleans
ing ot the mouth and sterilisation of
the food, the alimentary tract may bo
rendered comparatively sterile.
From a hygienic standpoint ihe se
cretions of the mouth constitute one
ot the chief resources of respiratory
Infection.
Tho i'fiouth is one of the greatest
sources of infection that we have to
deal with In preventive medicine to
day.
In the words of Dr. William Osier:
"Oral Hygiene—the Hygiene of the
mouth. There !b not one single thing
more Important to tho public in the
whole range of Hygiene than that.”

Cave Has Natural Heat.
A naturally heated cave lias been
discovered at Horse Butte, near Bend,
Ore., which apparently draws Its
warmth from u subterranean volcanic
source. The discovery was made by
O. A. l’arnell and H. D. Elde, local
fuel dealers. The cave Is located'near
the top of the butte and first attract
ed attention when' u wave of heat was
felt I8snlng from the mouth. The cln
der bottom mid rock walls of the tun
nel are unbearably hot to the touch,
the heat Increasing as far back as
could be explored. That tile phe
nomenon Is n recent manifestation
was Indicated by tlie smoldering of
grass and twigs near the opening. To
test the natural oven Mr. Yarnell
cooked a light breakfast by Introduc
ing raw articles Ot food Into the aper
ture and closing the orifice for a few
moments.
