Dr. C. 8S, Fisher of the University ) of Peunsylvania has recently spent six coveries | of wooder years at the head of archeological ex- peditions to Egypt, and among his dis- were some which help to the methods of the ancient build- rs less mysterious. Three thousand years before Christ they were work- ing an alabaster quarry at El Amar- a, 11 miles from the Nile and 200 miles above Memphis. From this qui ry they transported blocks of alabas- ter, ench many tons in weight, to Mem phis in the following manner: They built a road, much as we should build it now, from the quarry to the river bank, with @ smooth surface of nded stone, The bloc were quarried by means wedges driven in at) ine tervals along the cleavage line, When soaked with water, the wedges ex panded and split off the stone, which wus then sbaped and dressed with chisels and drills of very hard bronze. The blocks were mounted on sleds and dragged by gangs of slaves the 11 miles to the river, the road being watered, possibly oiled, to make It slippery under the sled runners (they had no wheels), Down the river the blocks were floated on rafts, to be dragged finally to the building sites ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS Men of Science Sislbning to Believe They Know Something Con- cerning the Subject.

C, Rome's first public Wbrary was founded by Julius Caesar, His early death ended his ambition to secure the most complete collection of writings of that period.

Every new development tn England will be practically a garden city, with plenty of open spaces, recreation grounds, golf courses, well-placed factories and industrial sections, and healthful resi- quarters, The worker will have his pateh of ground, and the usual smoke and grime of Industrial communities will be nonexistent. Town-planning schemes, many of them conceived before the new Idea | was generally adopted, were naturally much delayed by preoccupation during the years of war with more urgent matters and since the war by a hous- ing scheme which occupled the full at- tention of the technical staffs of the loca! authorities. For the best results town planning should have preceded housing. Owing to the extreme urgency of the latter, however, it had to go for- ward first, In all building schemes and pro- | posals for improvement there Is, occa- sionally, injury done to owners of property by the invasion of rights they have enjoyed for many years, Com- pensation in such cases ts payable to the injured owner. No claim can be made, however, for injury to buildings erected, or improvements made subse- quent to the scheduling of the area for | town planning, -And the further tm- portant provision is made: That au- thorities can claim one-half of the In- crease in value of property consequent upon the town-planning scheme. The government now realizes the commer- cial value of town planning and has | no Intention of creax‘ng private for- tune by its Intervention, BURN UP UNSIGHTLY RUBBISH Simple Contrivance Will Solve Many Problems That Have Probably Long Puzzled Housewife. What to do with paper trash, rags that have outlived their usefulness, pa- nd a hundred other things that accumulate and which are known as trash is a problem for every house- Yet It can be very easily solved, Trash can, of course, be burned in the kitchen vange, provided It ts a | wood or coal burner, but It fills the | stoveplpe with soot, necessitating fre- | quent cleanings, and makes an unpleas- fait smell and a great many ashes to carry out. As for making a bontire outside, that can never be done unless | some one watches It closely, and even then stuff blows about, littering the lawn, and the fire leaves an unsightly | black spot. A rubbish burner which is very tn- conspicuous can be placed in the back is perfectly safe and answers in an entirely satisfactory way the ques- tion, “What shall I do with this?” | which comes up every cleanup day elther in the house or In the yard. It is nothing but a woven wire container, | A plece of woven wire fencing long enough to make a circular receptacle two and a half to three feet In diame- ter would answer the purpose. Wire the ends together, making It circular in form, Make a cover for it by put- ting another plece of the woven wire over an iron hoop. Then weight it down, or anchor it In some way so that the wind will not blow It over or it will not be tipped easily. Such a rubbish burner makes out- door burning even on windy days safe and gives one a place In which to put rubbish whenever found. Wet things can be placed In It and left te dry out | in the sun and then burned. There is an average of 29.6 persons | for every square mile of land.
