Chicago Is Now the Most Ponulou

Chicago Is Now the Most PopuIous
City on the American Continent.
Atlanta Journal
Chicago has not only become a far
more interesting political center than
New York in this campaign, but has
also distanced the Eastern metropolis
in registration.
The total number of voters registered
III Chicago Is 391, 507, while it is only
231, Jas in New York. AS extraordinary
efforts have been made in each city to
bring out the full vote, the inference
is fair that Chicago has more voters
than New York
Several years ago the claim was put
forward that Chicago had passed New
York in population, but it was ridi-
culed by the press and people Of the
latter city. Even when Chicago reg
istered moro votes than New York Xwo
Years ago, New York still pooh-pocned
the idea that 1t had fallen to second
place among our cities in point of pop
uiation. Chicago has kept on growing
ct wonderful rate and her registra-
ton of 10000 more votes than New
York cannon be explained except OF,
= the theory that there are more people
in Chicago than in New York
1t is probable that the greater New
York scheme would never have been
adopted but for the fact that Chicago
was growing far more rapidly than the
city on Manhattan island and was GER
tain to outnumber it If 1T had not al.
ready done so.

sequent devotion to mathematics
served to overshadow their capabili-
ties as cauculators. Zerah Colburn.
born in Vermont in 1904, does not ap-
pear to have had any particular edu-
cation. His biographical account of his
performances is exceedingly bombastfo
and probably untrustworthy He seems,
moreover, to have lost his powers at
the comparatively early age of twenty

At the age Of ten, was presented by
2rago to the Academy of Sciences In
farls, and VINO, among other feats,
extracted the cube root of 1858, 4l8
In thirty seconds, was totally IL
literate. Dase, born in 1924, was a not
&C calculator, but devoted his faculty
to the composition of tables and loga-
rithms. He is said to have multiplied
together mentally two numbers Of 100
figures each In eight and three-forths
hours The problem no doubt could be
done more rapidly by a good calculator
lin the ordinary way, but the effort Of
an emofys.demanded by it's mental solu-
Elton is simply stupendous. 1t Is noted
+ that Ddse protested a remarkable ra-
Pldfty OF perception and visual memory
with regard to objects seen, as, for ex-
ample, in recognizing the number OF
volumes in library. Henri Man

animation by the Academy Of Sciences,

POOR Woodcutter in Tours In addition
To feats Of the usual kind, he was ca

to find two numbers which the squares
differ by 1885, he. gave Immediately six
ty-six and sixty-seven. A simpler -solu-
ton being requested he then, gave, after
moments reflection, six and thirteen.
Mondeaux, like other great calculators
had a very poor memory for other
things. such as the names of places
and persons. He died in obscurity In
1852. George Bidder, the English zeal
culating boy" and civil engineer, must
be distinguished as almost the only
great mental calculator who, while
retaining his abilities as such, attained
an eminent position In another walk of
life.

Novel Button Bag,

Every woman should have a button bag
and upon it she should inscribe the motto, in
letters which she cannot fail to see whenever
she has occasion to use it: 'If you want to
look right sew your buttons on tight" It
is easy to make a useful button bag The
main part is one-half yard Of two-inch RIB
bon. and It's construction is quite simple.
Fold the ribbon in half and in the fold place
spool Of patent shoe thread; above it on the
silk lightly mark a line in order that when a
row of machine stitching is run across the
spool will be held in place, but not SO tight
that the thread cannot be unwound. Above
the thread pocket make a similar pocket for
sors, and above this join the sides of the
ribbon to form small bag. Turn down the
rough edges Of the ribbon and make mar
row casing in which a small cord is to be run
This not only draws up the little button bag,
but serves to hang up the entire article.
To the back Of the bag attach six button
holed leaves of white flannel for the needle
book. This motto can first be outlined on
the ribbon with soft pencil and then en-
broidered in silk. Bright red and olive green
make dainty pretty bag.

FOR WALKING WEAR.

With regard to street costume prop
er 1t is too early to say what develop
ment the jacket may take when cold
weather sets in The fashion for the
demi-season consists in copying summer
forms in warmer material. What was
in piQue is now in serge or cloth or
velvet, and the form is fitted or loose,
as one shape Is preferred to the other.
A dress Of black serge, just made,
has the front breadth Tapped over with
a double row of stitching and three
large smoked pearl buttons on each
seam, near the top. Short, loose coat,
double breasted, with two rows of but
TONS carrying up the lines Of those
on the skirt. Standing turnover collar.
Blouse Of India foulard, in which red
and yellow predominant. Red felt hat,
trimmed with black velvet, a rhine
stone buckle and black tips, and red
and orange velvet rosettes under the
brim
A fashionable street Dress that does
not need to be made by tailor, and
need not cost a great deal, is made
of Scotch plaid wool, which is to be
had in inexpensive qualities with
short, loose coat of dark green or blue
velvet or velveteen. The coat should
have some fullness In It, say a box
plait behind. turned inside, and side
plait on each side the front. This full
ness in some sort compensates for the
lack Of a good tailor cut, and also for
any cheapness in the material. 1t will
be easier for the amateur to finish the
neck with a box plated ruche of the
velvet than with a collar. A satin
ribbon bow may be placed at the back
of the neck, and another with ends in
front. A bishop sleeve will be the cas-
lest to make, with a turnover cuff
The skirt may be trimmed with narrow
ruffies of velvet, say two at the foot
and one nearly half way up.
Preference seems to be largely for
the loose coat, and this form will GER
tainly serve as a foundation for i'm
movable fantasies in velvet and fur
for rich winter dress. Another thing
that will tend to keep it in favor Is
that it is found very adaptable to bicy-
Gle wear. Jacket sleeves are such mod
est gigots as to pass unnoticed. But
tons are rather more in view than US
ual, and preoccupation is shown with
their choice. They are in oxidized silver
and gilt, with chiseled or repousse pat
tern, and also in fine mother-of- pearl
and colored enamels.
Skirts of wool costumes promise to
be a little. shorter than usual It is
tiresome and nearly impossible to hold
UP the weight of an English serge of
the quality in use, and tailors say they
should clear the ground.

THE COMING STYLE.

As TO the style of autumn dress, since
there is no longer any emphasis given
to the sleeves, it is not easy to say in
just what it consists. Its tendency may
be inferred from the following details.
The jacket is rather short and has
certain bobbed off look, as thought 1t
were pendant to the collar. 1t hangs
from the neck. and SO effaces the bust,
and as 1t is as wide as the hips, these
last are Swallowed and practically an
initiated. The skirt, by refinement
In its cut, still further effaces the hips.
Instead Of being convex at the top, and
so following the natural form, the out
line runs from the belt to the foot in
line nearly straight or even slightly
haring outward. Besides the gigot
used by the tailors, there are other
sleeves close at the top, and wide at
the elbows, that give to the shoulders
q narrow effect. Finally, the hat is
no longer trimmed on both sides alike
and so appears smaller than 1t did. It
is less loaded with trimmings, and the
crown Is more in view. Also high
crowns are being tried.
From all this 1t would seem that
fashion is tending toward q long, slen-
der figure. The resources of art per-

and slim at another, and we seem to

PLAIN CLOTH is PREFERRED.

TALL, SLENDER EFFECTS POPULAR.
Hunting Costumes-IndOOr Dresses
All Sorts of Fancy BIouses VIII
BE Worn.

French fancy woods are this year
rather simple in design and show, as
did summer materials, study of ORR
entail patterns. They are mainly formed
Of a plain ground and a superposed
clear-cut pattern in either damask or
boucle weave. The pattern may have
more. than one color, as boucle lines
of black with mingled threads Of green,
red and yellow, forming a plaid over
plain ground, or as a damask figure
in cashmere colors, but mixed and
changeable grounds seem to have dis
appeared. The character Of the pat
terms may be inferred from one of a
broken scroll in black on a colored
ground, as Of red or saffron, the de-
sign covering well the ground with an
all-over effect. Wool crepons are not
being made.
But novelty woods have not now the
fashionable vogue they formerly had
and 1t may be useful to say so. They
are more and more neglected for plain
weaves and plain colors. The higher up
one goes among the dressmakers in the
scale of authority the more is remarked
for street dress an exclusive use of
serge and cloth. The reason seems to
be that such dress tends more and
more to tailor forms with the style and
beauty in the cut. 1t is intended to be
worn every day throughout a season,
and take the place of the variety Of
changes of other times. 1t is a cos
tune, as is mans business suit, and
such dress needs to be Of durable and
plain material.

up with a bodice and trimmed, and
extra wrappings were put on for the
street, and this is true now of the af-
ternoon dress Of women of leisure when
they go out for a ceremonious visit. A
visiting dress may be Of wool as well
as of silk, and it is just here that these
novelties find fashionable use, though
1t is but truth to say that even here
plain cloth is for the most part pre-
ferred
Scotch plaids do not come under this
structure. They have been produced in
quantities presaging run and will be
very much worn. They take for the
street a jacket Of plain material, blue
or green.
A model gown in novelty wool is Of
saffron and black trimmed with brown
velvet and repousse gilt buttons. 1t
has fitted jacket bodice opening over
a yellow chiffon front. The bodice has
a fiat basque behind and is short on
the hips, like figaro, and slightly
pointed toward the front. Revers and
cuffs are Of velvet and a wide velvet
puff is at the foot of the skirt. Buttons
are at the bottom Of the waist behind
and ON the front and the cuffs. This
is visiting gown and requires an ex-
ira, cloak or furs.
