1t has been suggested that as ice Of
only twelve degrees below freezing
has specific insulation of over one
thousand megohms, it might be posi-.
BILE to have hollow conductors which
could be placed in trench filled with
water and used to carry brine for pur-
poses of ice making and refrigeration.
The frozen water would act as the in
sulator, and calculations have been
made showing that the arrangement is
feasible on commercial scale.
The consensus of opinion regarding
the origin of the migration of birds is
that it began during the glacial period.
The earth being then covered at
either end with cap of ice, all life
was confined to a belt in the centre;
but ths ice receded little at certain
seasons, leaving an uninhabited space
that afforded the quiet and seclusion
that all the higher animals seek dur
ing.the breeding period. The birds
went there accordingly to rear their
young, and, as the ice receded fur
ther and further, they migrated fur
ther and further.

The seasons jacket will flare, with
large lapels, moire being the facing
generally used for this purpose.
The Tam O. Shanter, with violets
and other flowers, will make popular
and pretty headdresses this season.
Persian mauve and pale almond or
tan color are effectively combined on
new Paris evening gowns and tailor
costumes for special wear.
The usual decoration for gowns is
revers of lace edged with pleated satin
ribbon. The betting is of ribbon, with
pretty little ends and loops.
Satin royal and very elegant quail
ties of peau de sole are handsomely
made up together in imported we'd
ding toilets for the spring and early
summer.
A white chip fare, with three long
ostrich plumes of the same color, one

Jeweled buttons are much used on

edged with narrow lace.
Vests are more becoming to stout
figures than yokes, which fact will
ever keep them in vogue, but they are
not as new nor as stylish as yokes. A
narrow, fiat vest gives length to the
waist if made to taper to point. The
ever-popular full vest is now orna-

loosely, but does not bag in front

Xenezuelan Women.


Miss Louise Stevens lectured the
other day before the Profe essional Wo-
mans League of New York on even
ezuelan Women" The Mail and Ex-
press reports the following:
"A few days ago I happened to be
in the house of Cuban family, when
young lady entered who was SO mar
velously beautiful as to attract atten-
tion in any place. She had eyes of a
limpid black, with arching brows
above, raven hair, features so regular
that Phidias might desire to model
them, and the figure and carriage of a
young Hebe. She spoke Spanish up
on entering, but changed to perfect
English in Difference to the presence
of an American, with the innate po-
likeness common to her race. When
1 was told that she was Venezuelan
l knew the secret of her enchanting
grace.
1.-The complexion of Venezuelan
women might be called fair brunette,
though throughout their own country
the women powder their faces so as
to give almost the appearance of a
white mask. 1t is an old custom, a
part of the regalia of full dress; lady
will carry her powder box in her
pocket to the opera or dance, and
think nothing of turning to one side
and applying another layer over her
face in the full view of the assembly.
The effeG of this profussion of pow
der when the perspiration trickles
down is far from pleasing, forming as
it does, little ridges of paste in the
corners of the nose.
81 presume that one of the reasons
for this custom is the pleasing sensa-
tian of GOODNESS it imparts. and while
Venezuela is by no means a hot coun-
try, yet the gentle exercise of dancing
in land where it is always summer is
somewhat heating. However, one
cannot but wish that they would not
80 disigure themselves.
'"The marvellous beauty of the young
women quickly fades. Either they
grow enormously fat, losing their clear
complexion, with swarthy hue and
many moth patches, which no amount
Of white powder will cover, or they
become very thin, and their faces have
the appearance of baked apple.
They keep their luxuriant brown or
black tresses, however, until very
advanced age; but though they lose
The freshness of youth, they are not
unattractive, their simple friendly
manners and their kindly interest in
one counting for much,
"Venezuelan women are pre-emi-
nently mothers. They seem to keep
their interest and sympathy with their
children, and do not grow hard OF
grabbed"

The bat ships ofmodern times are
a necessity to any great nation which
intends to maintain its rights and pro-
tect its interests, believes the Atlanta
journal, but their cost is heavy. An
outlay of something like s., 100000 is
required to construct and equip II ship
which would take high rank in any
modern navy. After such ship is
complete the expense of maintaining
it is very heavy, This item for each
of our big battleships is now about
$500 day even when they do no fir.
ing. The daily expenses of our navy
are now over $50, 900 day. The total
annual expenses of frst-class battle
ship are estimated at'$547, 600, divided
as follows:
Pay of officers, crew and marines 1926, 900
Rations. observation-disclosures. .... $4,000
Equipment ............. 1900
Navigation charges. .... ........... G,OOO
Ordnance. ........................ Is, 900
Construction and repairs ...,...... 1900
Steam engineering g................ $4,000
General supplies s............... 14,OOO
Medicine, surgery, secretary's Of
flee and incidental expenses, $4,000
The cost OF ammunition used dur
ing an engagement is immense, but it
is of course impossible to estimate
this in calculating the expense of a
navy. Repair to warships, cruisers
and other craft even in time of peace
is large, but after every engagement
it is necessarily immense, even for the
victor. War on a modern basis is q
terrific absorber of money, and there
never was time when the Importance
of money as factor in war was any
thing like as great as it is now.
