An Ancient American Fort.

The remains of one of the most remark
able forts belonging TO past ages ever found
on this continent has been discovered ut
Topeka. West of the center of Topeka is n
high bluff or ridge, which consists of strata
of clay and gravel about 3 feet thick, rest
ing upon bed of limestone IL feet in
thickness. Several years ago quarries were
opened in this ridge by IL contractor, who
after penetrating Il considerable distance
found the rock formation unexpectedly
come to an end, and loose bed of clay and
gravel where the stone should have contin-
ned. Aftcr quarrying several years the re-
markable discovery was made that here in
ages past an excavation 50 feet in length
from east To west, 80 feet in width from
north to south an'l Is feet in depth, had
been dug, nearly all of it in the solid rock.
The soil and gravel washed from the slope
above had nearly filled it, thus celebrating
all external evidence of its existence The
lower layer of stone. . inches thick, had
been left for a floor. In the southeast cor
ner of the excavation this lower stratum of
stone had been removed for about feet
square. Water issued from the ground at
this place, and the indications are that a
well or spring was at that spot. This water
now flows from the ground lower down the
hill.-Exchange

For the Dressnaker.

81 have made many dresses for Nine.
Bernhardt and also Nine Patti" said
Mile. Jeanne Cambray of Chicago.
Nine. Bernhardt is perfect fiend to
work for-she is simply terror, but her
taste is perfect. 1t doesn't matter what
you do or how nice dress is when she
first tries it OH she storms and raves and
says that it is not fit to be seem After
that she Is better. Sometimes she is even
agreeable, but she never pays. When
you want your money, she tells You that
1T is enough that you have been permit
ted to make her gowns, as that is quite
sufficient to insure any dressmaker's for
tune. With Mime. Patti it is altogether
different. Nothing in life is easier than
to please her, but she has 40 taste. She
never knows how thing should look
unless Bernhardt tells her. They are
great friends, and if Patti ever has an ar
tistic and becoming dressyou may he sure
that Bernhardt directed how it should
be made. Not only is Patti easily pleased,
but she is good pay and indeed is in ev-
cry way as nice as possible"

Miss Fuller md Her Dance.

Loie Fuller soon became the rage in Paris.
All sorts of wearing apparel both for ladies
and gentlemen has been named for her.
Artists attempt To reproduce the witchery
of the dance serpentne, and sculptors have
reproduced i'll marble the airiness of Miss
Fuller's manifold drapcrics for the Salon
Miss Fuller says that the idea of the dance
came to her quite by accident. She was
wearing an odd Ilindoo costume given to
her by an officer in an act which called for
dance nj the close 1t was an out of town
stand; Miss Fulierwas in II hurry and didn't
want to change her gown. SO she put a. dress
on over the ll.ndoo skirt ana vert on for
the dance. The thin Indian muslin flew
and blew around her. The people applaud
ed. Here WAS the first p;ir5 OF the idea. She
piacticcd III thin draperics before the mir

through the draperes and produced bewil-

Whom tho Sun Was Darkoned.


Several of the carly writers, Plutarch
and Pliny among the others, mention per.
fods OF greater or lesser length when the
sun was systematically darkened or made
paler than usual. Forty-four b. c., about
the time of the death OF Caesar, Plutarch
and Dio Cassus both tell us that 'even the
sun was pale for something like O whole
year" In the year 800 A. D., in the eastern
provinces of the Roman empire, occurred a
celebrated dark day." day so dark that
the stars were visible mt noontime"
From further descriptions given in old
works one might be led to consider the phe-
nomena due to an eclipse, but astronomers
tell us that neither the eclipse of March 4,
800, nor that of August %, same year, were
visible to the countries mentioned During
Alric's siege of Rome, 400 and 40 A. D.,
there were several days us dark as the
nights which preceded them" In 536, SGT, 626
and OBI we find mention of long periods ofdi-
minished sunlight. Schnurrer says that
the sun darkened alarmingly on August
10. 1913, without any possibility of it being
the result of an eclipse"
The Portuguese historians tell of the di-
minished sunlight for several months in the
year 934, which finally terminated by an
opcninS in the sky from which loud
sounds issued" In 1901 on Sept 30 mot 81

each extending up with the sleeve mt the
point where the scallops join together.
Around the neck there is ruffle of
flannel embroidered and feather stitched
in the same way which frills n little way
down the front to the girdle.
More dainty still are the pure white
flannel gowns with all the pretty stitch
ings done in pale blue or pink or hello

are scalloped. and single line of feather
stitching follows the outline of the seal
lop ono or two inches above the edge.
In the space between French knots are
dotted or tiny flower sprays are worked
at intervals, or the scallop may be
omitted for band of Russian needle
work, which is simply pattern in the
old fashioned cross stitch embroidery
that our grandmothers wrought OH sam
pier and that our mothers counted out
on Java canvas. And this pattern is to
be done i'll black or mixture of the old
blues and reds seen III Holbein work, if
it would really be artistic and according
to the Russian idea.
A very attractive and serviceable gown
of this kind is made i'll red wool, with an
embroidery of black. Less elaborate. but
equally cozy, are the bath robes of elder
down wool simply bound with ribbon,
which may be made to do duty as a
dressing gown to lounge in. These are
simple straight princess garments, with
little attempt at style or fit.
