even the shortest skirts, which reach
below the knee.
Much OF this Is not to be gainsaid,
though 1t has been proved In America
that a circular or gored skirt made
close fitting at the hips and about eight
inches from the ground, is n pref
ty, modest length; will not blow. and
will not catch In the wheel or chain
even when n guard Is not used. The
fact IL that English and German cy-
clists who wear skirts wear them too
Iong-an awkward and dangerous
length. Such skirts are seen more fire.
quently this year in New York and they
are not modest and they are very ugly.
II Is more possible to make a skirt
that will be suitable for riding the
wheel and at the same time fall to
the regular walking length than 1t is
TO make a habit which will be suitable
for both horseback riding and shop
ping. But when II comes to knicker-
bockers, It is found that we are much
more conservative than the old coun-
tries. While Great Britain Is making
a stand against skirts. all the German
advertisements OF wheels for women
show the women In the nattiest and
snuggest OF knickerbockers. Here the
knickerbocker is the exception.

I.eaf Rolling CrterpilIars.

There are many kinds of "leaf-roll-
ing caterpillars, each employing a diff
ferent mode of rolling the leaf, but In
all cases the leaf Is held In position by
the silken threads spun by the cater
nillar. There are plenty of birds about
the trees, and they know well enough
that within the circled leaves little
caterplllars reside. But they do not
find that they can always make n meal
on the caterpillars, and for the follow
ing reason: The curled leaf Is like a
tube open at both ends, the caterpll-
lar lying snugly in the interior. so
when a bird puts his beak into n end
of the tube, the caterpillar tumbles out
at the other, and let's itself drop TO the
distance OF some feet, supporting itself
by a silken thread that 1t spins. TIhe
bird finds that it's prey has escaped,
and not having sufficient inductive
reason to trace the silken thread and
so find the caterpillar, goes off to try
its fortune elsewhere. The danger be-
ing over, the caterpillar ascends its
silken ladder, and quietly regains pos
session of It's home.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 10.--John Frey,
son of General Manager Frey of the
Santa Fe, who went to Klondike last
summer with a party of railroad men,
has returned and has a supreme dis
gust for the country. Speaking about
it. he said:
That country isn't what they claim
1t to be. We had u good trip. The
mines are not giving up anything like
they claim. 1t is a grand fake. All
you get to eat up there is bacon and
beans. They have meat which they
call fresh, but you can't tell whether
1t is n year old or not.

are not carrying the gold which they
claim. 1t Is the purser Of the ship
who gives out the reports about the
gold brought down. I got well ac-
quainted with the purser OF the ship
we came on, and he told me confiden-

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1o.-Thc Spanish
answer had not yet been delivered to
the President or the State department
either directly or indirectly, at
o'clock this afternoon. The final trans
lation in the shape in which it will be
laid before the United States govern
mcnt has not yet been completed. Tho
reply will be delivered to-day, but
probably quite late.
SPANS reply is an acceptance OF all
the conditions laid down by the United
States. but Spain presents elaborate
views Of each point involved and on
questions hat would naturally arise
were American conditions carried into
execution. Whether this will be con-
sidcred satisfactory remains to be de-
cided.
| The last OF the reply did not reach
| here until a late hour last night and
although the cipher experts worked
| until long after midnight there was
| still some dcciphering to be done to-
day.
SPANS answer is in two parts. The
first accepts the propositions laid dowr
by this government. The second is IL
the nature of special pleading, where
in Spain sets forth her views concern
ing the Cuban and Porto Rican debts
the question of the sovereignty in thu
Philippines, the cessation OF hostili
ties, the evacuation OF the coded terri
tory and other matters that will prop
