trustees disposed of the old instruments.
Then controversy arose as to the ownership

In throwing out ballast or any small ar

caution is requisite, as a bottle or any similar

right through it. We are told that Gay
Lussac, in an ascent in 1904, threw out a

was the chair, or rather its remains The

was to criticise the coarse workmanship of

| Every sensible woman, and especially
| every business woman, is glad that short
dresses are coming again with the spring.
| OF course, If all women were sensible short
dresses for walking would always be in style.
| However short dresses make neat and even
| handsome boots a necessity: With them,
ron down heels, shabby leather or iIl-fitting
boots are an abomination, and should be i'm
| possible. Let woman dress her feet tidily
and step properly and she will not be afraid
| of short dress. But few women know how
| to walk, and they are so few because the
| silly idea has long prevailed that they must
| wear boots with thin and narrow s0les and
| as small as the contraction of flesh. bone and
muscle will allow. Gradually these notions
| are giving place to more healthy ideas, but
not so fast as is desirable. With soles as
broad as the foot, thick enough to protect
| il from the hardness and inequalities
of the earth, and long enough, so that the
joints shall not be crowded out Of shape, and
| with uppers durable as well as handsome,
and fitting perfectly, there is no reason why
women should not walk easily and, conse-
quently gracefully. Then they need not be
| afraid of short skirts and they will not read
lily give them up, when it is generally con-
fessed that they are neat, comfortable and
| convenient.
