4 CONDITION Ys. i THEORY.

There has been a theory in this coun- try that the great, free and cunconquer- able Americans wouldn't like to travel underground in their cities. This the ory hasn't stood up very we'll in refined and cultured Boston. The success of the Boston subway. in the volume of traffic diverted from the surface-cars to gain the speed of the under-surface route exceeds anticipation. This state ment is not conjecture, but is based on figures gathered by the Rapid-Transit commission, which employs men from time to time to note the volume of traf- fic, particularly on Fremont street with a view to possible future use. A count at one station of the subway, the Park street station, proved that more per- transfers at that place than pass through the North Union station, or are expected to pass through the new South station-and this regardless of the num- Der of passengers who merely ride through the Park street station on their way to other points. It is known that 25,0OO00o passengers, going in both di- rections, pass through the North Union station in the course of a year; it is estimated that 24,000,0 900 will take and leave trains through the new station; and it is figured that no less than 26,- OG0,000 men, women, and children will enter and leave the Park street station of the subway in a twelve-nonth.
 This is interesting. If the very par ticular people of Boston take kindly to travel underground probably it wouldn't be despised in the less touchy places like New York and Chicago.

figured goods the space between figures is also large. But one might as we'll intlate a balloon to it's fullest capacity and call it small or symmetrical as to put a plaid straight around a stout fig ure or arrange large figured goods with the figures at the waist. She who is inclined to flesh had better always keep to plain goods and subdued colors, when 1t is practical, but in these days of bright colors and gay plaids woman is excusable for feeling quite out of fash ion in such materials. Hence dress makers have learned to minimize the undesirable tendency of plaids.

Richness That Must Not be Brilliant

Richness That Must Not be Brilliant.
 Women of advanced middle age need to exercise a deal of care In their gowns for ceremonious occasions. There should be- of course, response to the styles that younger women set, but it should not be in an advanced way, and colors and trimmings should be safe from conspic- uousness, though richness Is permitted in them. The original of the accompa- nying picture was tasteful solution of the problem presented by the foregoing points. Its skirt of black velvet had a rich trimming of jet and silk galoon.

Canon Greenwell, of Durham Cathed- ral, has just finished the curious task of piecing together the coffin of St. Cuthbert The shrine of the great Sax on saint was despoiled by the commits sioners of Henry VIII, and the body, which was found to be intact, was re- buried in it's original coffin in the nave of the church. In 1927 it was again dug LID by Dean Hall, who was anxious to verify the condition of the body. On this occasion the outer coffin was brought up and thrown aside. The fragments were, however, eventually saved. and have for many years been preserved in the Episcopal library. Canon Greenwen has now put these hundreds of pieces together, with the result that it is now possible to decipher

One hundred and twenty-six thou sand devotees of golf exist at the pres ent time in the United States. The number is remarkable, especially when it is remembered that the growth of the game is matter of only about five years. The United States Golf associa- tion was formed not quite so long ago as that and there were then only five clubs. whereas at the present time there are nineteen associate and one hundred allied clubs, the membership of the former alone exceeding 11,00O, while there are in addition four hundred out side clubs. Quite as remarkable as the number of members is the amount of money invested in the game, which is set down at more than $50, ,O00, ,OO0 while this year alone the expenditure of the members will, it is believed, reach s10,- GOO, ,0o0 This gives an average expendi- ture of about $90 for each player. There are more players on the roll of the Unit ed States Golf association who spend s250 year on their amusement, than there are who spend S10O

The fame of the German emperor has penetrated to his African possessions. In the German colony of Cameron, in west Africa, the natives not long since held a festival in honor of the monarch over sea. The principal speech was made by a negro named Abel, and this is the way he sounded the praises of the white chief": "The German en- peror is the mightiest and cleverest man in the world He sees treasures in the inside of the earth and has them brought to light. He has iron thread spun over the earth, and as soon as he touches them his words travel in all directions. He has steamships which move about on dry land. If mountain stands in his way he has hole bored through it; if river stops him he has road built through the air. Though he is richer than all other men put to- gether, he has only one wife; and all though she is the most beautiful of all women, yet she cost him nothing.'

Electricity says the year which is about to draw to a close cannot justly be said to have been productive of any very startling changes in the electrical industry. No new electrical patents have been granted thta will be likely to revolutionize prevailing systems as did the telegraph and telephone, and with the possible exception of two inven- tions, one made abroad, the other in this country, nothing of a striking na- ture can well be credited to the year 1898. The new inventions are MT. Tes- las system of transmitting electricity without wires through the upper strata of air, and szczepanik's method of see- ing by electricity, of which very little Is yet known.
