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.

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.

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.” Oar flaws nro checked by a number of lawB, mid oar laws are checked by a number of llawB. 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. East, West, Home’s Best.
