AYenerabIe Bank Book.

A remarkable instance Ofthe value of
savings bank deposits is found in Il
certain bank book which was presented
at the Pratt Street Savings bank few
days since for the charging up of inter
est accrued on the deposits registered
therein. The book was taken out on
the oath of July, 1919, the yearin which
the bank was founded, and deposits
were occasionally made from that
time until 1924, when they ceased.
They then amounted to Sll73. From
1924 until the present week, the book
has been presented only twice to the
bank for the entering ofthe interest.
When the account was figured up, a
day or two ago, the total amount of
principal and interest was found to be
S27 ,2l0, or more than twenty three
times the amount of the deposits.
There are probably few siXty-three year
old bank books in existence, and this
one is genuine curiosity. Gothou and
do likewise. Hartford COuraIt.

FALL AND WINTER HATS.

Felt promises TO be very fashionable,
more particularly the smooth, glossy
felts, beaver being used only for edgings
and Innings of brims.
Flowers promise to be wore very lit
tie, more for dress and theater bOnnets
than any others, and these few blossoms
will be mostly in silk and satin.
Flowers, however, will be in request for
evening head-dresses and toilets, as
usual.
Smooth felt, in bonnets and hats, will
supplant, to q certain extent, the beaver
in the head-dresses of the last two or
three winters; though with the unques-
tionable popularity Of the beaver bon
nets and hats it seems hardly probable
that they will disappear altogether from
notice. Some of the early impOrtatiOns
of hats have tall broad, square crown
of smooth felt, with moderately wide
brim of beaver, the beaver Of the brim
being very fluffy. The wide, square
crown seems destined to lie a special
feature of both the hats and the bonnets.
A leading style of bonnets, as thus far
discoverable, has broad, square crown,
with the poke brim, shelving, but not
very deep over the face.
The reign of the exaggerated head
dresses Of the last several seasons is sup
posed to be on the wane. importers
speak confidently of small bonnets as
leading the mode; and, while classified
as large, the hats will be of diminished
circumference in the brim. Felt, as
usual, will be in fashions van for the
earlier weeks of the season, with velvet
certainly, and, it may be, plush and
satin antique in reserve for the millinery
of the winter. Ribbons in velvet and
in moleskin plush are among the early
| imporUations, and these materials are
likely to rule in trimming materials,
whether in draperies or in ribbons.
Fancy feathers will notably divide
choice with ostrich feathers; and stuffed
| birds, despite all protest against the
slaughter of the feathered denizens OF
the forest, will be again among the most
conspicuous of the millinery ornamen-
tations. Inthe fancy feathers those OF
the different varieties of the pheasant
with those of the peacock will be, as
usual, the most important, though the
breast piumage of all birds OF brilliant
coloring will be utilized, while the
piumage ofalmost all the small birds is
made useful by dyeing If the native color
be not satisfactory. Wide, thick mount
ed, club-shaped plumes offancy feathers
will supplant ostrich plumes to a mark
ed extent as hat trimmings, assisted by
large birds, stuffed soft so as to lie snug
~ around the crown; and very elegant
and costly trimmings made OF the
breasts ofSouth American humming-
birds are on the list Of the coming treas
| urcs of millinery resource.

The Earth's Heat.


Scientific men in Japan are now dis
using the possibility of utilizing the
internal heat of the earth. At recent
meeting of the SeismOlogical Society,
John Milne read paper, in whic h he
said that the fact that there was an un-
limited supply of energy in the interior
Of the earth had been generally over
looked, although portions Of it crop out
in countries like Japan, Iceland and
New Zealand, in the form ofhot springs,
solfatarus, VOLCANOES, etc. He stated that
there j. an unlimited supply of water in
hot springs within radius OflOO miles
around Toxic, and that the heat OF
these springs could be converted into an
electric current, and transmitted to the
town. Mr.. Milne was on the COmStock
about week ago, on his way home to
England on leave of absence. He was
much interested in the heat of the lower
levels, which he went there to study.
He is also a good deal interested in
earthquakes, and in Japan has been
conducting a series of experiments upon
the vibrations of the earth of the time
of earthquake shocks, and also the
vibrations of artificial shocks produced
by the explosion of heavy charges OF
dynamite. The delicate instruments
Used gave the same results i'll both cases.

New Use. for the Cotton Crop.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has found a
new element of value in the cotton
crop, and one which promises to ma
terfally advance the prosperity of
Southern farmers. 1t appears that for
each bale of lint there are 800 pounds
of stems, which are very rich in phos-
pilates of lime and potash. When
ground and mixed with ensilage or cot
ton seed meal (which is too rich for use
as fodder in large quantities., the stem
mixture makes superior cattle food,
rich in all the elements needed for the
production of milk, meat and bone. 1t
is believed that this utilization of the
cotton stems will greatly facilitate the
raising of stock, by furnishing a SUBJ
stitute for grain, which now has to be
brought from the West.

DIV0ReONS.

This evening the comedy of
"Divoreons". will be presented for
the first time. The piece is new, not
only here, but elsewhere, and is
spoken Of as one of the most sue
cessfIl of recent comedies. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Lingard saw the
piece'in America and at once pur-
chased the right to play il in this
country, paying therefor the sum of
$240 per week. It had q remark
able run in France, its first eontinu-
Gus presentation realizing to the
author $24,444, and the managers OF
the theatre $1S7,O35. The scene of

Gently discussed changes in the

FORCES telegram from Versailles,
announcing that the Chamber of
Deputies has passed the new
divorce act. The young wife is
caught by the bait, and arranges an
elepement. Her husband who, by
means Of electric bells. has been
kept fully informed Of their meet
ings, enters at the critical moment,
proclaims his conversion to the new
law, which he had before combatted,
places the hands of the two together,
and after stating that he had al
ready fled his petition for a divorce
under the new decree, bids them be
happy. The conversation which
follows this scene, where the hus-
band, wife and lover draw their
chairs up together and calmly dis
cusS the divorce as a fact already
accomplished, is as clever and bright
as anything, says a critic, IN the
best Of the English standard come
dies. The lines Of the husband, who
is playing TO win his wife back, are
written in a most mastery manner.
The second act closes with an in
vitation from the former husband |
to the prospective one, to dine with |
his future wife. The third act,
which has its action in the private |
supper room of cafe, is devoted to
q dinner between the divorced hus-
band and wife. The feast has been

that his part exceeds one

IT IS evident, and painfully so,
that Mr.. Henry Watterson, of the

Mr.. E. II. Murray, governor of
Utah, no longer occupy the same

proved a year ago, the course of the
governor in trying to steal the Utah
delegates seat in Congress. Latterly
the Coltrter-JoarnGE has contained
many paragraphs and editorial de-
nunclationS Of that outrage, the
Latest being as follows. AS before
remarked, it must be that the divi-
dends on Watterson's MouIton
shares are too long delayed:
There are precedents enough before the
house Of Representatives to show that,
al Cannon Is excluded from his seat as
-dsisGste from Utah. Campbell certainly
can not be admitted to q seat, for he
certain y was not elected any more than
Cannon was. The proper mode of pro-
cedure Is for 8 neW election t. be held.
Governor Narrsy is wrong from ths start

EX-SENATOR BOOTH, OF CALI
FoRNIA, is being mentioned as a
good man to represent the Pacific
Coast in the National Cabinet.
There was time when if the people
had had a Voice IL. the matter, per-
haps three-fourths of those west of
the Rocky Mountains weuld have
cast their votes for Booth for a cab
met position; but that was when he
was governor, or about the time he
was elected senator. He was then
the promising man of the west, but
he suddenly attained his growth
and Immediately went into a de-
cline. When Booth went into the
United States Senate the entire
west felt pride in the fact that Cal
ifornia had so grand man in the
upper house of Congress = a
man independent in politics,
q worker, and with a repu-
tation as an honest and con-
stenS reformer. Never were people
more disappointed. Booths career
in the Senate was anything but
brilliant. 1t was characterized by
laziness rather than work; his
politics changed to stalwart repub-
licanism, and he went out of the
chamber and into retirement I'M
honored and unknown to fame.
Governor Booth is not good man
for the Cabinet. He would not
represent the progressiveness of the
west, and the Pacific Coast doesn't
want to be represented by him.
