{‘3an HOUSE" THERE m
Io-ton Building lo Said to Go Back
to“- Day: of the American
1 Revolution.
What is believed to-be one of the
narrowast and oldest dwelling houses
in this country"): that at 514'Hull
street. Boston. The house is less than.
11 feet wide and its erection is said to
date back to the American Revolution-
ary period. The divelllng. constructed
of wood and particularly peculiar in
the midst of the modern brick struc-
tures in that vicinity. is located direct-
ly opposite the entrance of Copp’s Hill
burying ground and within. the. shad-
ow of what once was the ammunition
barracks of the British army. It to 21
feet long. with its entrance on Hull
Street place. which is also so narrow
that one has almost to enter the alley-
way sidewise. There are three stories
and an utticfloor. One room. the
kitchen. is in the basement. and on tile
street floor are the dining and living
rooms. There Is a bedroom above
these. and on the third floor is another
bedroom.
The dwelling ls referred to by North
Enders as the “Spite House." It
earned this sobrlquet, according to a
legend that has been persistent for
years to the effect that the original
owner. a Tory, lmd the house erected
to shut ot'i' the natural light from the
homo.- of a neighbor with whom he had
quarrclcd. As the result of the al-
leged “spite" the neighbor. so the leg-
end goes, was obliged to keep a can-
<-dle burning within his home.
SURELY “NOTHING IS NEW”
Discoveries In Babylonia Give Re-_

Ancient Saying.
Six thousand years ago the "ladies"
painted their cheeks and pcnciied
their eyebrows. according to Dr. E. .l.
Banks, who gave an illustrated lec-
i turn bcfurc the plintngrnphicnl section
of the American Institute of the city
of New York. says the Evening Sun
of that City.
‘ It was Doctor Banks who conducted
. the expedition into Hahylonla and

ancient cities for which enterprise
John D. Rockefeller contributed $200,-

Spread of Species.
One of the problems that confronts
the naturaii‘t is that of accounting;r for
' the distribution of identical forms of~ -«
life through widely separator! locali-
ties. Investigntion frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways that appear quite siiuplci‘
when once discovered. although one
would hardly have thought of them.
,Somc interesting facts gleaned con-
cerning: the dispersion of fresh-water
. mollusks account for their appearance
in remote and isolated ponds. Water-
‘ fowl play an important part in this:
work. lmcks’ have been known to
carry mussels attached to their feci.

‘ molluSks not infrequently cling to the
toes of wanting birds, and are thus
transported for considerable dis-
tanm.
