With trunk up, elephant a good luck charm

A

lthough we have gone to hundreds of antiques shows, shops and auctions, we are sometimes baffled by what we see. So the 6-inch brass elephant head was a mystery.

It wasn’t an inkwell, although we have seen inkwells that size and shape. It had a tusk that could be pushed down, so it wasn’t a paperweight. The antiques dealer knew it was a hotel service bell. The well-shaped brass head had glass eyes and bone tusks. Hold the tusks down, and a bell rang for hotel help.

It kept on ringing as long as the tusk was held down. It probably will never again be used that way, but it will make an attractive paperweight or small figurine. The elephant is a good luck charm, too, because, according the superstition, an elephant figure with the trunk up is lucky; the trunk down is bad luck. But what about the ivory tusks?

Can it be sold with the current restrictions on ivory? The seller told us the tusks were made of bone not ivory. So a lucky buyer paid $944 at a Morford auction and will probably make friends guessing what it was originally used for.

Windmill a Dutch treat

URROUNDED BY tulips (naturally), this charming windmill is the perfect do-ityourself project for the yard or garden this summer. With its Old World look and blades spinning in the breeze, the project’s color and eye-catching motion complement any landscape.

The windmill features realistic details like diminutive doors, windows and a guard rail, and the turret is mounted on a Lazy Susan bearing so the vanes will catch even the slightest breeze. Designed to be easy enough for almost any woodworker, the project features mostly straight cuts, full-size traceable patterns for the angles and modular

construction.

To build, trace the pieces from plywood and standard lumber and cut everything out. Next, assemble using glue and nails, and paint the base, tower and vanes.

To finish, put everything together, sit back and enjoy the breeze.

The windmill stands about 35 inches tall from the base to the top of the rotating turret, but the project is light enough for one person to move aside when mowing the lawn.

The Small Windmill plan, No. 912, is $9.95 and includes full-size patterns, complete step-by-step directions with photos, diagrams, a shopping list and cutting schedule and a toll-free help line for project

questions.

A package of windmill plans, No. C147, is $21.95 and includes this project plus plans for two other windmills. Please include $4 for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

Trees ‘weep’ because they want to grow down

W

HY ARE THESE trees so sad — even with pink or white blossoms cheering up their branches? But of course: They’re not really sad, they’re just weeping.

So why are these trees weeping, then, even if they are not sad? They weep because they want to grow down. Instead of young stems reaching for the sky, as is the case with most trees, young stems of weeping trees toy only briefly with skyward growth before arching gracefully down toward the earth. Some plants begin to weep in earnest only after they get some age to them.

A weeping tree may have begun life as a chance seedling whose quirky arrangement of genes directs its stems to weep.

Some such plants, although woody, could hardly be called trees. A weeping kind of goat willow, for example, makes a kind of billowing groundcover.

Or a weeping tree may have begun life with normal stature — until some cells in some branch of that tree underwent a slight mutation to a weeping habit. Perhaps the mutation was due to the effect of sunlight or temperature, perhaps the mutation was spontaneous.

At any rate, all new stems and branches originating from those changed cells weep.

Now let’s make whole new plants from that weeping seedling or those weeping

and crabapples, weeping trees are not all that rare. Japanese dogwood is a lovely tree whose white blossoms unfold after the leaves are fully out; the variety Elizabeth has somewhat weepy upper branches. A weeping form of Katsuratree presents a waterfall of bluish green leaves.

For a weeping evergreen, few are more graceful than the Sargent hemlock. Or more odd than a weeping form of giant sequoia, whose leading stem pushes skyward in fits and starts, zigging and zagging No need to prune this larch tree to a weeping form; that is its and dipping along the way natural growth habit.

Cutting home energy costs

ow that many of us are home 24/7, staring at our walls, we might also be staring at our utility bills. It’s a good moment to make some changes and save some dollars — especially before the air conditioning and sprinklers get turned on.

3. Check your windows

The best solution for drafty old windows is to replace them, but if that’s not an option, addressing drafts and using the right window treatments can help.

Take caulk to any gaps of less than one-quarter of an inch on windows, as long as you’re only caulking the nonmovable parts, such as around the frame and trim. The Energy Department estimates the cost of the caulk will be offset in a year by utility savings.

Make sure window treatments are ideal for the kind of light the window gets. Filtering curtains will allow light in, for example, so you can warm up a house in winter, while blackout curtains can keep a house cooler, blocking out the summer afternoon heat.

These draperies can reduce heat gains by 33%, according to the Energy Department.

Other options include insulated cellular shades, which can reduce heat loss by 40% or more, and blinds, which work better at keeping summer sun out than reducing winter heat loss.

4. Use your ceiling fans

While air conditioning costs

about 36 cents an hour, Love says, a ceiling fan costs only about a penny an hour. Fans don’t necessarily reduce the temperature of a room, but they can make you feel cooler, and they can reduce humidity.

Turn down the AC (an ideal target is 78 degrees, Love says), and be sure to run the fan only when it’s actively cooling you off.

5. Upgrade your

thermostat While you’re thinking about AC, Rush recommends installing a programmable thermostat.

“People think that if you set your AC at a more moderate temperature rather than running it at a comfortable temperature, you sacrifice personal comfort for money savings,” he explains. “It works,” but it’s better to be “programmatic,” he says. He’s partial to a Nest smart thermostat that connects with other products you might need, such as security cameras and smoke alarms.

The Energy Department reports that setting any thermostats lower by 7 to 10 degrees for eight hours a day can save as much as 10% on heating and cooling a year; a programmable thermostat makes scheduling those changes easy. Some models connect to SEE ENERGY, PAGE F9
