pie and blue, and her lovely blush Of red Is
toned to suit the modern Philistine. She
is also CARRIED in crepon silk, and, in short,
is subject to artistic travesties all round.
The poppy is also now in every color and
in crepon too. The orchid likewise suffers
the same treatment. No botanical speci-
men escapes alterations and improvement
at the hands of man, and the moro it de-
parts from it's natural condition the more
fashionable it appears to be.
1t is a rocco age Both hats and bon
nets are ornamented with a variety of or.
namental pins, some with enormous heads,
in many devices, from that of a gargoyle
TO medieval saints head. Those in
French paste are the prettiest, and nova
days such paste is inexpensive, thanks to
commercial rivalry. Buckles, buttons,
links and various ornaments are all at a
figure that almost any one can compass.
Straw is the favored material for hats
and bonnets. 1t is produced in all the
fashionable tints, butter yellow, tabac, cop
per and curious shade of red. The plait
is in many designs, some showing cuplike
excrescences and some worked with Gre
poned strands. 1t is said that Queen Vic
toria is very fond of straw plating, which
is now becoming branch of the great de-
partment of fancy work, more useful
and practical branch than many that
might be named.

MORE crepon. The godet skirt forms a
double box plat in front. The bodice has
similar plat falling in a slight blouse.
Tho belt and draped collar are of begonia
green velvet, the latter adorned with two
clusters of Russian violets. The gigot
sleeves are plain. A white Louis Seize
fchu of plisse mousseline de sole trimmed
with white lace covers the shoulders. The
toque of beige straw is trimmed with be-
gonia green ribbon and violets.

Trouble.

Trouble
Admiral Walkers stately figure
is so recent a remembrance in
Honolulu that the following &C
count of a disagreeable expert
ence the veteran sailor met with
at Astoria, Oregon, will be OF
local interest. 1t is from Port
land dispatch:
The lighthouse tender Oolum-
bine arrived at Astoria from
Alaska early on the morning of
the Fourth of July. Captain
Farenholt, superintendent Of this
district, had as guests on the trip
Rear. Admiral Walker, chairman
of the Lighthouse Board, and
Chief Clerk A. B. Johnson Of the
department. The passage around
from the Sound to the Columbia
was unusually rough, and Admiral
Walker was very seasick. Even
Captain Richardson was sick.
Shortly after the tender came to
the dock q party of young bloods,
headed by Sheriff Hare, who had
already got we'll started on cele-
brating the Fourth, hearing that
the Columbine was in, went down
to pay their respects to Captain
Richardson, whom they all knew.
Unfortunately Admiral Walker
occupied the Captains cabin and
as it was early the Captain had
not turned out, so the party threw
lot Of fireworks on board and
into the room where AID iral
Walker was, not only arousing
him from his slumbers, but badly
soaring him. The watch on deck
rushed ashore to put q stop to
their funny business, and at once
became engaged in a fight with
the party, in which black eyes
and bloody noses were plentiful.
The Sheriff drew his pistol and
threatened to shoot when the tars,
being unarmed, retreated. Ad-
miral Walker was, of course, in
dignant, but only family so com
pared to Inspector Farenholt or
Captain Richardson. The tender
] came up to Portland, but no one
said word about the affair, and
it was not until after the Column
bine sailed that the facts came
out through Astoria papers, The
Admiral rewarded the sailors fol
their efforts to preserve him from
annoyance.

The Jaw of a Mammoth.

The most notable recent addition to the
natural history collection of the Academy
of Sciences is tho lower jaw of preglacia
Clephant-one of the mammoths that
rOamed over the vast fields of the arctic
many thousands of years ago, before the
region was invaded by icebergs The pc
Rod of the preglacial age has never been
placed, but it was thousands of years age
at any rate. Then it was that the mann
moth of which the huge lower jaw pre-,
served at the academy was once part,
Travelled about the arctic circle in all the
glory and impressivoness of his formidable
size. The academy scientists estimate that
tho jaw belonged to mammoth not less
than is feet high and 20 feet long The
elephant of today is just half this size. 1t
is the difference between a child and full
grown man.
Whalers found the jaw buried deeply in
the ground at Point Barrow, and they
brought it to Captain Knowles, the whal-
ing vessel owner, who presented it to the
academy. The theory of the naturalist, "
said Secretary Frank Narslet, at the acad-
omy, lis that the Siberian mammoths
were abruptly annihilatcd by some swift
and radical change in the climatic cOndi-
lions of the arctic, by which a COMPARE
lively temperate region was suddenly del
uged with ice and SNOW, to tho utter de.
struction of the existing primeval forms of
life. San Francisco Examiner.

Somebody finally noticed that this nitro

from pure nitrogen obtained in other
ways and the result was that argon was
discovered. My Investigations will be
made in connection with my incandescent

unite with incandescent carbon. If it
isn't argon that attacks the filament, it
may be something else which hasn't been
