HATS OF OUR ANCESTORS.
Changes That Have Taken Place in
Manufacturing Headgear.

Speaking Of hat business" said a
veteran of the business to the local
historian, most wonderful changes
have taken place since 1850 In olden
times soft felt and derby hats were lot
known, and it was as late as 1S43 when
silk dress hats were first introduced IN
this country, this being a French in
vention, and all plush used for hats in
the world was, up to this time, made in
France When Kossuth came to
America he introduced the soft felt
hats wearing one himself 1t did not
take American hatters long to take Up
the idea, and in less than one year old
and young Americans covered their
heads with Kossuth hats. They were
in shape nearly the same as tourist
hats now, only being trimmed up with
a nice, long ostrich plume. Along
about 1858 an English tourist came
along with the derby hat, and in a very
few years they became the general
headgear in the country, and up to the
present date the demand for soft hats
and derby hats is nearly evenly d.
vided.
I'm those days all the best class Of
soft hats were imported from France,
and stiff derbies from England. This.
however, has taken a material change,
as American hats are now sold in III
parts of the globe, and it is a known
fact that we produce the most tasty
and best hats made. Before the ar
rival of Kossuth and the English tour
ist, however, the Americans did not go
bareheaded, but contented themselves
with mapped otter and mapped Beaver
hats, for the more expensive, and the
so-called scratch-up or brush hats for
the cheaper Brush or scratch-up de-
rive their name from the fact that nap
was raised on them by means of stiff
brush constructed of whalebones. The
first manufacturers who made Ameri-
can production In those goods popular
and world-renowned, and who forced
French and English hats out OF this
market, were Rinaldo NJ Waters, John
b. Stetson, ]. d. Bird and b, J Brown
During the early periods Of 1910 and
1850 a dealer was a halter in fact, else
there would have been no room for
him, as all made the hats they sold
all handwork, no machines Of any kind
and one who knew how 10 make a
mapped otter or beaver hat was an art
list, earning $40 or $50 per week being
nothing unusual, many making from

EXPLORING MOUNT KENIA.
Party Leaves to Make a Study of the
Great Snow Mountain.

Late last month H. J. Mackinder,
reader in geography at the University
of Oxford, left England with a party
and a fine equipment, intending to
make as thorough a study as can be
made in a month of Mount Kenia, in
East Africa, the second largest of At
rican SUBMITS and the only great
mountain in the continent lying direct
ly on the equator. Six men make up
the party. The utility of having the
best of Alpine guides for mountain eX-
ploration was demonstrated long ago,
and the party's journey up the noun
tain will certainly be facilitated by the
two competent Swiss guides who are
with it. Mr. Mackinder is also accom-
panied by two taXidermlsts and col
lectors and by Mr.. Hausburg, who has
paid a considerable part of the eXpen-
SEES which are also shared by the Roy
al Geographical society.
The expedition is fully supplied with
instruments, cameras and other means
of carrying on scientific work. The
party proposes to camp al height Of
about 10000 feet and from this as a
base they will endeavor to make a good
MAO Of the whole mountain, ascend to
its summit. which has not yet been
reached, journey all around the noun
tain. Investigate its glaciation and its
geology and make ample collections Of
animals and plants. Mr.. Mackinder
hopes to spend at least Il month on the
mountain, but expects to be back in
England about the beginning Of Octo-
Der.
These plans Illustrate the progress of
events in Africa Not long ago twelve
TO eighteen months would have been
required to carry out this scheme of
exploration. but now the railroad that
is building from the Indian Ocean TO
Victoria Nyanza will take the eXplor-
ers almost to the base of the mountain
Most Of the time hitherto required to
get to and from Kenia is now saved

good deal Of work at the mountain and
make the journey to and from II with

work proved that further observations

tihc results One remarkable fact he
discovered was that the m0ralnes de-

Both the present glaciers and the evil
