WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAK‘H-& 1921 LAKE IS NATURAL WGNDER | Body of Water That Has Many Re- | markable Qualitics Is Found in | North Australia. s Lake Eyre Is ong, of the wonders of | the continent. The~disérict is actually | below the level of the sea, yet in the near nejghborhood of sthe lake are some fife springs of water that may be considered fresh in that cattle will drink’ from them. So, too, can drovers, fect which prejudices them in theip appraisal of its value. In the center of the lake 18 an islan@ of rare beauty. A legend is that, many years ago, perhaps when the - first droving party (Docter Black's) took cattle through to the Northern territory, one of the more daring of the party of white men, un- heediog the warning of the blacks | an “ol’ man debil-debil” lived In the | lake, and fed on men who ventured | into the water, undertook to get to the island. back, but did not return. The black who have mysterious means of com- | munlcation, gave it out that his horse | had made the island, where the animal | was seen by some of them long after | the cattle party had gone. That proved the legend as far as they were | corcerned. One of the peculiarities of the wa- | ter of the lake is that it will preserve | anything thrown into it. It is exceed- ingly buoyant. Stones thrown into it | do not sink. (It may be stated that ! some of the stone—the kind that docs not sink—would probably float in any | kind of water, being pumice of the lightest variety, almost spongy in tex- ture.)-Sydney (Australia) Times. e | Surely Ample Security. | A housewife hired a darky to carry three tons of coul from the curb.

As the fprm products have fallen in price, so have building material, although some articlés increased in ¢ price during the last few years more than others. f Plumbing and heating materials did.not jump as high as some other building materials, and hence the per- centage of drop is necessarily not so high a rate in or- der to reach the previous basis. Where an article has increased 1009, a dropaf 50% brings it back to the original price. . g But plymbing and heating materials constitute a very small part of building costs. In_the average seven or eight room house, where hot water heat is used, the cost of plumbing and heating is about eight to ten per cent of the total cost of the house, and in other build- ings it is even less. ) ‘ “Following are some of the reductions made in plumb- ing and heating supplies and materials during the last i few months: | Soil Pipe and Fittings, reduction ... ...46 % | Lead Pipe, reductfon ... 45% | Brass Radiator Valves, reduction 25% Brass goods generally, reduction . -..20% Iron Pipe, reduction ... ....1814 % Earthenware, reduction 10% Enamelware, reduction Boilers, reduction ... ; Radiators, reduction .. | Range Boilers, reduction ... : -1ron and Malleable Fittings, reduction .....22% % | | | The 40 % freight rate advance effects plumbixié and | heating materials much more than other goods because they are relatively much heavier in weight.
