The woman who is SO rich that the
bargain sale has no attractions for her
has been robbed of one of life's rarest
emotions.
A pretty woman in one of the new bits
of millinery is a picture, but plain one
cannot be dubbed truthfully more than
a chrome at the most.
To be quite in it these days woman
must be quite up ITO date in all outdoor
sports and boast q score Of drawing
room accomplishments as we'll.
Never were colors brighter or pref
tier for evening than now. The most
delicate greens, the lovclicst T,rl;s e&-
tending from soft pale pinkto scarlet"
blues in steel, turquoise and sapphire,
are all admired. Reds and ycllows
range from tomato and apricot into
maize, daffodil and gold, fading away
again to blush ros" and ivory.

FATE OF NORFOLK ISLAND.
1t Has Been Seized and Annexed by
New South Wales.

Another little republic has been alb
sorbed and its individuality lost in a
greater and more powerful state, says
the New York Sun. Very quietly the
self-governing island of Norfolk in tho
South Pacific ocean has been annexed
by the government of New South Wales
The inhabitants of this primitive settle
ment are the descendants of the mutt
neers of the Bounty, who took refuge
on Pitcairn island in 1889. In 1856 the
islanders had so far increased in num-
bers that Pitcairn island was INSULT
cient for their needs, SO many migrated
to the larger island of Norfolk, where
they continued their own form of gov
ernment. .
Unfortunately their laws and meth
DDS, though entirely satisfactory to
themselves, recently excited the unfa-
vorable notice of the governor of New
South Wales. The chief fault of the
system seemed to be that there was no
paid policeman and no prison, and that
consequently debts were difficult of re-
covery and crime could not be punished
adequately. Although the islanders
unanimously declared against being
handed over to New South Wales and
prepared to follow their own customs,
the British government has sanctioned
the incorporation, and this quaint and
Hourishing commune has come to an
end. Settlers are to be encouraged to
form upon the island by the cheap sale
OF land. Public houses, or saloons,
which were formerly forbidden, will
doubtless be allowed, and all that was
distinctive in the community is doomed

SCIENTIFIC EGG-HUNTER.

His Subject

His Subject.
Scientists are Offering congratula-
lions to DIR. Arthur Wiley on the sue
@ess of his search for the eggs of the
EeaTly nautilus. The pearly nautilus
Is the only living representative of the
great group of extinct animals whose
shells are known as ammonites, saws
The Pittsburgh Dispatch. So rare were
specimens of the animal itself that, 90
years ago 800 was paid in London for
two preserved in spirits. The structure
OF the animal is extremely curious, and
an account of it formed the first scien-
tific memoir produced by Sir Richard
Owen Setting out two years and half
ago for the south seas, DIR. Wiley pro-
ceeded first to Ralum, New Britain,
where he spent q year trapping the
nautilus in 70 fathoms of water and
dredging in vain for it's eggs. He then
tried a station on the coast of New
Guinea, where he was nearly drowned
by the. capsizing Of his small craft.
After passing through New Caledonia
he arrived last summer in Lifu, one of
the Loyalty islands, where nautilus can
be captured in three Fathoms depth
only. Here he constructed q large sub
marine cage, in which he kept speci-
mems OF nautilus, feeding them daily.
In December last his patient endeavoqs
were rewarded. Some of the nautilus
spawned in the cage, and he was able
to oobtain abundant samples of the eggs.
Each egg is as large as n grape and is
deposited separately by the mother nar1-
titus. 1t is expected that by this time
DIR. Wiley has obtained the young in
all stages of growth.

Respondents Testimony Must be in by

In the Lyon-Dunn contest court yesterday
an order was issued to the effect that the
taking of testimony and hearing witnesses on
the part Of the respondent shall end on De-
cember 10th. After that date Lyon will be
allowed to present rebuttal testimony.
Judge Dunn considered this a very short
time. Attention of the court was called to
the fact that the $40, 600 appropriation for
the contest was expended, and as a result
witnesses are selling their orders for so per
cent. of. The court promised to consider the
matter Of requiring the County Commits

preparation.
