I®W>WKI SCIENCE CF CITY BUILDING Many Cities Desert the Topky Method of Expansion and Begin to • Reach Out. There are certain cities, big and small, that are deserting the Topsy i method of just growing, says Harper’s Weekly. They are being gently and ' persistently pushed along toward , greatness. To use an invidious meta- ; phor, they are picking factories from I their less wakeful neighbors and planting them in their own towns; they are causing the transfer of hun- I dreds of million- of dollars’ worth of busftiess from the somnolent cities and, in this time nf reforms, are boasting of their remarkable progress in population. Ti.e way the thing is done may be aptly illustrated by the manner in, which Poughkeepsie obtained an automobile factory. The secretary read in a newspaper that an Italian com pany was -thinking of locating a factory in this country. Without waiting for the owners to have a chance to look the country over and decide for themselves, the secretary pounced upon them and talked Poughkeepsie, talked it hard and convincingly. He ♦lvx-iTV* onmo nil Cl till COXI t

invited them to come up and see the place, and when he got them took them all over the town and showed them the schools and churches, the parks and workingmen's houses, told them about the railroad facilities and rates. Then he took them to the very spot that he had picked out in advance where they could build. He pictured the factory to them, pointed to the homes their men would live in told them how low the taxes were and how healthful was the air. When they went away the visiters had every good point about Poughkeepsie throbbing in their heads in 100 different forms, and consequently they straightway came back and bull? their factory In Poughkeepsie. MAKE WASTE PLACES BLOOM Railway Station Garden Is Latest Move Toward the City Beautiful. During the last few years a new kind of garden has come into being in the shape of the railway station gar den. It is tended by members of the staff, and is usually a picture of neatness, and often ot beauty as well. The small, tidy beds, or long narrow borders edged with white stones, are often glorious masses of color, without one jarring note. At some country stations the name of the place is worked out in flowers or small shrubs, and should the traveler by chance fall into conversation with the presiding genius of the garden he will rind that a remark on the nattiness and prettiness of the scheme of decoration wilt be much appreciated. In their season, roses —usually red or white or yellow Ramblers —bloom luxuriantly at many a wayside stopping place and transform the station itself into a “thing

The Indians here are the no- ' torious Aimara, likewise descendants of thte Incas, and the worst brigands ' in South America. Their principal occupation is murder and theft, and un- ! ] til quite recently they sacrificed their prisoners to the gods, and then partook of their flesh. As regards savagery, they easily excel all other tribes. The sacrificial victim was not merely butchered, as happens in most j similar cases; he was bound, and then the flesh was torn off his living body and eaten by men. women and chHI dren. If, in the process of being tor-’ tured, as much as a moan escaped bfs i ! lips, the bones of the victim were , thrown away; but if, on the contrary, he was stoic enough to be silent, the ; bones were collected and set up on a pile of rocks to be worshiped It is j still within the meirory of living man

Home® ,Town ’ © Helps . I SOLVES SEWAGE PROBLEM j German Scientists by Chemical Treat- 1 ment Convert Matter to Use for t Profitable Farming. The Germans are a remarkable peo- £ pie. They produce great poets and musicians, metaphysicians whose works cannot be understood by their 1 own countrymen and great scientists. 1 Even more fortunate are they in hav- t ing men tjalued to adopt the theories 1 of science and apply them with scientific skill and decided gain in che in- , terest of the community. , Sewage, for instance, which is a ‘ source of expense in most countries — and an unpleasant problem in many-* is subjected by them to chemical : treatment and made so free from any < suspicion of smell or harm that it tan 1 be used for profitable farming In this way has Berlin utilized its , sewage and made good come from j evil, with the result that land formerly barren and unproductive has become fertile and flourishing with ' fruits and vegetables. This particular agricultural tract also feeds 12.000 cows, the milk from ; which is largely used in the city hos- j pitals, and, like the fruit and vege- , tables raised,'finds a ready market. It is said that already handsome

profits have beer, realized by those ' who have farmed on this municipal area, which, unlike most agricultural i land in Europe, is irrigated. [: SYSTEM IN PARK BUILDING , I Few Cities Have Well-Balanced. Well Developed System of Public Parks. ; If a city is to have parks, a careful ( study of the problem. will convince any student of municipal development that the parks should be acquired in accordance with a general system ) Many cities have one or more parks 4 in which their citizens may justly ' take pride, but comparatively few ot • these cities have what can properly f be called a comprehensive, well-bal- t anced and well-developed system ol i parks, a system which will compare favorably as to completeness with, sot . instance, the system of public schools,'' or the system of fire protection and 1 1 other principal departments of the j i city government. The backwardness I of municipal piark systems is not sc ; I much due to lack of public intelli j j gence and public spirit, as to a de ; I fective development of the love of ’ beauty, as compared with a well . I deveioj ed apprec ; 'on of practical ' | utilitarian progress It not infrequent 11 ly happens that the sections of a city j in which the popnl *'on is most dense I and most in need of squares, play I grounds and local narks, are almost 1 wholly devoid of the-e advantages be , cause no weii-baiam -3 system has i been devised and carried out while | land was sufficiently cheap and com- I paraUvely unoccupied so that now I *he expense is prohibitory. A City's Flower Farm.

San Diego Cal., is the only city tn ; the country 'bat has a municipal flow er farm started with the aim of pro- ! viding floral and horticultural exhibits for the Panama-California International exposition in 1915. The city offi- : rials, who are promoting the farm, found they could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by utilizing the 1,706 acre tract in Balboa Park to grow Lowers, and it is expected many millions of plants will be ready in two years. The farm already has 1,000,000 geraniums, as many red roses, white roses and 26 acres of California golden pop pies.- It has 100,OOP palm trees The park consequently has become the most beautiful in colors and flowers in the country and thousands of tourists who have been passing several months in the west made it a point to visit San Diego just to see the flower farm. Expert Legal Opinion. To Illustrate the trend of the times, says the San Francisco Call: Up to

the poet’s corner in the Flood building yesterday they were discussing the impossibility of formulating an acceptable rhyme with “Southern Pa cific.’ “Why not pass it up to the law department?’* suggested one of the group. “They have the reputation of solving anything” So it duly was passed along with a request “for an opinion.” In a little while the doc-1 ument came back to its author. Across its face was written: “File formal application with the interstate commerce commission for permission to rhyme the road.”
