The celebrated chemist of the six
teenth century who argued that it
would be impossible for us to live on
the earth's surface if the atmosphere
should suddenly increase to twice its
present thickness could not have been
far wrong after all; that is, if the cX-
periments of DIR. Arnott are to be
taken as conclusive. In his observa-
tions on atmospheric pressure at the
bottoms of the deep mining shafts of
Europe, Prof. Arnott has found that
the change between the readings of
barometer at the bottom of 4,O00-foot
shaft and one at the surface is great
enough to warrant him in making the
statement that air at the bottom of
shaft 20 miles deep would be as dense
as water. figuring on the same ratio,
he finds that if hole could be sunk 40
miles into the bowels of the earth the
density of the air at the bottom would
be us great as that of quicksilver.

woman may wear the plainest of gowns
coaching or walking or golfng, let her
shop--this year at least; the next it
may be different-in a gown of gayer
style, befitting the ioyfulness of the oo-

YARiNA ANNE DAVIS.
Known in the South as Daughter
of the Confederacy."
yzer Experiences During the War In the
Prison Cell OF Her Father-Educated
with Care in Europe-Suc-
cess as a Writer.

If anyone should ask Miss Varina
Anne jefferson Davis for the story OF
her life she would reply,in the language
of the needy lnife-grinder: "Story!
Bless you, I've none to tell" This
would be quite true so far as her
own recollection goes, but at the
time of her life of which she knows
nothing but by hearsay she had
some thrilling experiences.
winnie Davis" as she is always
called, was born in the executive
mansion at Richmond, Va, at the
close of the warm June, 1864, /
believe-and when she was in long
clothes she was sharing her fathers
prison cell with him. She had her
experiences of war before that, for
she took part in the retreat from Rich
mond, jolting along for hundreds of
miles in an ambulance. Even at that
early stage of her career she showed
that she was worthy to be a soldiers
daughter; for, according to her moth
cr, who ought to know, she never
fretted or was cross, and if the ambu-
lance gave a particularly hard bounce
over the rough roads her baby cheeks
would flush with pain, but she kept her
tears back for more trying occasions.
Her father had been at Fortress Mon
roe for year when Mrs. Davis and Win
ME joined him. The other children be
ing older, were left in Canada with
their grandmother. Winnie was still a
babe in arms; all day long she would
play contentedly in her fathers prison
room. She was much petted by the of
fcers and their wives, but she preferred
to be with her father in his cramped
quarters rather than to enjoy the free
dom that he could not share
The first five years of the little
Winnie's life were spent in England;
then she was brought back to Mem
phis, Tenn. At an unusually early age
she showed taste for reading, and her
parents directed her young mind
through the fields where the best lit

erature grew, says Harper's Bazaar. Her
father was particularly proud of her
precocity, and loved to read aloud to
her and listen to her wise comments on
what he had read. The climate of the
south did not agree with the child, so
she was sent to boarding-school at
Carlsruhe, Germany, where she not
only learned the language of the coun-
try, but became equally proficient in
French, so that when she went to Paris,
at the end of her German school days,
she had only to put the finishing touches
TO her knowledge of that language.
She also studied music and drawing,
and though she never has done as much
with those two arts as she should have,
considering her talents, she OCCASION
ally charms her friends with a song or
delights them with the gift of paint
ing by her hand.
At the age of seventeen Miss Davis
returned to her native land and con-
tinued her studies under her fathers
direction. She not only studied and
rend with him, but she shared his love
of horses, and many were the long
rides they took on their thoroughbreds
through the woods at Beauvoir. Though
a studous girl, and fond of reading, she
is an out-ofdoor girl as well, and not
having horse in New York, where she
spends the winters, or at Narragansett
Pier, where her summers are passed,
she mounts her wheel and flies over the
roads in manner that would astonish
her favoritc horse if he could see her.
Miss Davis made her social debut
in New Orleans, just after her return
from Paris, as queen of the carnival.
Shortly after this she accompanied her
father to Atlanta, Ga. where at a recep-
ton rendered to him she was intro
duced to the cheering crowd by Gen.
John Gordon as "the daughter of the
confederacy," and by that name she is
known all through the south. That the
confederate soldiers regard her in this
light is proved by the number of regi-
mental and brigade badges which they
have presented her, and which she
wears when she attends their reunions.
Miss Davis debut as Il writer may
be said to have been made in pamphlet

club, and which was published and
passed through three editions. She has
written for the North American Re
view and other periodicals, so that
when She wrote The Yelled Doctor"
she was hardly novice with the pen.
That, however, was her first novel;
but, judging by the way it has been re-
ceived, it will not be her last In fact,
| believe that she was already engaged
on another before THE Yelled Doc or"
was published.
The death of her father, Jefferson
Davis, which occurred during her sec
ond visit to Paris, was a severe blow
to Miss Davis, and she was SO prostrntcd
by it that her life was dcspaired of.
Youth and high health were or her side,
however, and She recovered,

One is reminded of Vatican shep-
herdcsses and Greuze milllmaids this
season by number of things; by the
sweet little jackets and by the demnre
iichns and kerchiefs of spotlcss lace,
and most of all, perhaps, by the very
latest Paris fad, "a demure little apron,
so puifed and furbelowed and disguised
as scarcely to be recognizable, ap-
pended to gowns of the most delicate
and costly material. Such an orna-
ment is seen to advantage on Louis
