THE SPRING STYLES.

There is something very smart in a
suit of checked cloth in nuntsman's
green and black, or dark red and black
and they are generally made with trim
mings of n plain color.
1t can hardly be said we have survived
hraiding, and if there were not 50 many
other forms Of trimming in vogue it
would seem to be quite as conspicuous
as it was year ago.
The quite up-to-date evening gown is
lot cut so low as il WAS last season, and
some gowns arc finished with narrow
tuck of lace or chiffon inside. A deep
fall of lace from the neck to the belt is
n pretty finish for a low-cut gown.
One can only admire n suit of ecru
cloth with an embroidery on the skirt
of black braid making deep, apron
like point. The jacket bodice is elab-
orately braided, and shows a waist
coat of black cloth fastened with small
gold buttons.
Small checks rival the smooth cloths
and have the advantage Of novelty and
requiring little trimming. These checked
stuffs favored by the tailors are cloth.
not wool, for Il wool with its looscr,
softer weaving is not practical for their
models

SCIENTIFIC FACTS.

The Alps are some 80, 300 feet in thick
ness and have been folded in most tire
mcndous fashion. The strata have not
only been thrown up into bulges, but
have actually been thrown over on their
sides in great folds; the arches have
fallen down in many places, so that
many of the Alpine ridges have actually
tlmbled over and become inverted.
The red clover, when introduced into
Australia. grew most luxuriantly, and
1lowered, but produced no seed. The
reason for this was the absence of
humble bees-the humble bee being
the one that does the fertilzing, almost
exclusively, in the red clover. Bees
were introduced, and the clover seeded
in profusion consequently. Exactly the
same was the case with the apple.
Nitrate of potash accumulates in
valuable quantities in the organically
rich, nlluvial plains of India and China.
the nitrate rising to the usrfacc
with the moisture by capillary at
traction in the hot, dry season.
There have been discoveries made
lately in South Africa of nitrate
said to be in enormous quantities, de-
rived from the direct putrefactlon of
animal cXcreta.
\ naturalist of eminence finds that
land birds make their journeys in the
day time, and water birds by night.
Large numbers of birds seek the eX-
tremc north for nest building; and it is
and always has been matter of great
interest to observers of these enter
tain:ng creatures, how it is that the old
birds teach the young where and when
10 go for food supply and how to get
back to the original home to which it Is
said they return every summer.
A writer in the Revue des Sciences
Naturelles makes the following calcu-
lations in regard to the work done by
the honey bee: When the weather is
fine q worker can visit from 40 to so
flowers in six or ten trips, and collect a
grain of nectar. If it visits 200 and 400
flowers, it will gather five grains. Under
favorable circumstances it will take a
fortnight to obtain Is grains. Itwould,
therefore. take it several years to manu-
facture a pound of honey, which would
| fill about 1900 cells.

pleted "Elinoure and Inga," poem OF

airy forgeries, which deceived nearly all
the world of England for a time, the an
tiquarians OF distinction stoutly main
tanning that they were the genuine lit
erary antiquities the mere child who
had written them said they were. He
went TO London, wrote for reviews and
magazines, ground out sermons for
preachers, political letters and songs
for music halls. Then he deliberately

himself and all this before he had com
pleted his eighteenth year.
Most of the boy prodigies who have
come to the front Of late years have
been musicians Two very noticeable
examples of this variety of child wonder
are still fresh in the minds OF New
Workers Josef Holman, the boy plan
ist, and Bronislaw Huberman, tho boy
violinIst. Huberman was born in War
saw in 1883, and after few lessons from
a local teacher was placed under the
tuition OF Joachim. He seemed to
learn both the technique and the forms
Of composition by instinct. Joachim
declared he could teach him nothing,
and when Goldmark heard him play he
said that hereafter he would believe in
miracles. When he was here last year
at the age OF thirteen, he was ono OF the
finest professional players on the violin
in the world.
Little Josef Holman was a profes
sionaI pianist as well as composer whit q
he was seven years old, He was born
in 1887. He was compared with Mo
zart, who at the age of four was a good
player and at five years was attempting
composition. When Mendelssohn waa
twelve years old he had composed
five symphonies, two operas and part
OF third besides great number oi
fugitive pieces.

With the injunction that we all re-

comes the need every season for the
newest style of purse, because, while no
wise woman carries much money with
her. stlll. necessity demands that she
have sufficient small coin to fetch her
through an afternoons visiting and
even allow her TO have afternoon tea
in some favored tearoom. With her
dainty toilet her purse must be in har-
mony. and the heavy leather or coarse
looking purse Is as much out of place
