It seems proper and natural to Zee
men calmly going about with bald heads.
Nobody questions it. But imagine the
uproar it would create if women ap-
OeareO Ut the opera house, church, eVon-
ing parties or at home with their heads
bald and shiny like ostrich eggs. It
would be utterly impossible for women
to carry about bald heads with the IN
ruffled serenity and cool indifference Of
bald headed men. 1t would be unbeara-
bic to them. So it would be to the men.

A military empire possesses manifold
advantages, when it comes to the con-
struction of public works. The expert
ence of Russia in building railroads has
repeatedly illustrated this fact, but sell
dom in more striking manner than in
the construction of the Jabinsk- Pink
railway. Tbs road is one hundred and
twenty miles long, and it was necessary
to erect no fewer than. sixty nine bridges
but military hataliOns accomplished the
entire work in five months at cost to
the government of only ST. 900 mile.
In the opinion of the Scientific Ameri-
can there is a possibility that the WON
derful comet of 1912 may make its reap
pearance before the year closes, Encke
computed for this comet a period Of
about severity years. If this compuiar
ton be correct it may suddenly fame
forth in the heavens ut any moment. A
more rigorous investigation of the COM
cts patti: has recently been computed by
NM. Schulho! and Bosseri that gives q
period of seventy-three years. They
have fixed ON the third of September,
1854, for the next periheliOn passage
But comets, with their perturbations, re-
tardations and accelerations are the
most unreliable members of the system.
It is not impossible, in spite Of all the
wise calculations Of the mathe,naticians,
that the ccnlet Of 1912 may steal a marc b
upon us before the year closes.

To one foreign lady who visits the
United States at least a hundred Amer
car, ladies' visit Europe. Probably not
ten British or Irish nob.emen's wives
have ever been in this country. The
two best acquainted with it are Lady
Dunraven and Lady Milton. On the
other hand, large percentage of peers
have been here. Very few Frenchmen,
and still fewer Frenchwomen Of dis
tinction have crossed the Atlantic. Not
one in million knows the country as
do the Prince de Joinyille, Count de
Paris, and DUO de Chartres.
