Trades' Organizations Have Legal
Standing in New Zealand.
Trade and labor are organized
throughout New Zealand, and as such
are recognized and legalized by the
state in the act of 1894, says the Lon
don Daily Mail. The very title of that
act, though not changed, originally ran:
IAN act to encourage the formation Of
industrial unions;;" and the whole spirit
Of the movement is that both employers
and workmen should form their unions
and associations on representative lines
under the provisions of the act, and
that all questions should be dealt with
by the unions and societies up to a GER
tain stage, and then brought by them,
and them only, before the boards of
Cancellation, and ultimately. If neces-
sary, to the arbitration court.
The trade and Industrial unions of
New Zealand are required to comply
with all the ordinary business safe
guards which should surround the cor
porate bodies which they form, and then
but not till then-they are registered
by the state and placed in a position to
act and be heard in Industrial disputes.

The tropical sun nearly boiled the Ice

Between Tanganylka and Lake AL
bert Edward is lake called Kivu. The
best atlas published gives 1t as about
one-tenth the size of Albert Edward.
Mr.. Moore, who was accompanied by
Malcolm Ferguson, an English geolog-
list and geographer, found that Kiyu is
larger than Albert Edward. The north
end Of Tanganyika was found to be
fifty miles westward Of its ascribed po-
sition.
The primary object Of the expedition
was to dredge and sound the lakes,
with reference to the marine forms
which Mr.. Moore found there four
years ago. The question was whether
the jellytish and crustaceans originally
got into Tanganyika by way of the
Nile or the Congo. Having determined
that these marine species are to be
found in none of the lakes north of
Tanganyika, Mr.. Moore believes that
Tanganyika was once Joined to the
sea by way Of great basin in the
Congo state.
When Tanganyika was left high, If
not dry, in the center of Africa, the

All Of the poles are fifty or more feet

the neighborhood of a foot in thickness
at the largest end and a few inches
smaller at the tip end The wagons
are about forty feet in length. They
are very simply contracted and are of
great strength. The wheels are over
five feet in diameter, and the two sets
are placed the full length of the wagon,
or about forty feet away from each
other. The load moves slowly enough
at the best, but when it approaches a
corner where turn is to be made the
driver pulls up little and goes still
slower Several rods before he reaches
Athe corner he begins drawing up as
closely as possible to the curb opposite
to the direction in which he is about to

buildings.

skirt, something in warmer tone than
that shown in the rest Of the dress. The
shape Is jaunty, the sleeves new, the
jacket is dashingly embroidered and bril-
lantly lined. Such bolero is fine adj
dition to house dress, aud almost pre-
sents the possibilities of separate
waist. Some of these jackets are scar
let, some green, some bright blue. With
a brown skirt, bolero of uncompromis-
ing orange is worn over bodice Of
heavy ivory lace that matches the trim
ming on the skirt. Undersleeves are Of
the lace.
Little news Is to be had of skirts. There
are new fashions a-plenty, but nearly all
Of them have been on view since the early
showings of fall styles, or ut least, are
direct and simple adaptations Of the
skirts then displayed. The newest of
these is one that seems sure of much APP
proyal. 1t is the princess skirt shown in
to-day's initial picture. This will be wei.
coined as a way of doing without sep.
arate belt. A belt to match the skirt is
likely to make the figure dumpy, while
one contrasting with both skirt and waist
is likely to seem patchy. The princess
skirt meets all difficulty. 1t is fitted per-
fectly to the figure well above the waist
line. being really skirt without bend.
Its upper edge not only comes above the
waist line, but is shaped to follow the
curve of the figure.
Embroidery is us stylish us ever and
is used more than are all the mentioned
novelties put together. A gown may

is a matter of the wearer's liking. For
illustration Of this take the three model
dresses put in the second of the accom-
panying pictures. First is brown
broadcloth whose only trimming, aside
from skirt bands and jacket tabs Of dark
red cloth, was inconspicuous rows of gilt
embroidery. Next this is gown whose
bolero was gray ladies' cloth covered with
silver embroidery, the skirt of the same
goods having bands of the embroidery
and rose ruching of gray silk. Even
freer was the embroidery of the last Of

Columbus, Ohio, increased from $1,000

In fact, considering that the capitals
of American States have been fixed
chiefly with reference to their geo-
graphical situation and without refer
ence to their facilities for business COM
munication with other places, 1t is cause
for surprise that American capitals
should show so large an increase this
year. Thus Indianapolis, the capital Of
Indiana, almost exclusively dependent
upon railroad connections, has increas-
ed from 100000 to nearly 10000 popu-
lation in ten years, gain of more than
so per cent, and per cent greater than
Cleveland's and so per cent greater

How We shock the Chinese.

No doubt well-meaning but thought
less foreigners, ignorant of Oriental
prejudice, have done much to shock
Chinese ideas of propriety, albeit unwit-
tingly. For instance, 1t is considered
not only improper but scandalous in
China for a woman. to appear in tight
fitting bodice. She also rides rough
shod over Chinese notions Of seemli-
ness and propriety when she shakes
hands with a man, receives men guests

Silk petticoats are going out That
means rare offering of beautiful ones at
very low prices. OF course some new
ones are coming in, and these are more
elegant and ornate than ever. They ure
shaped exquisitely to the hips, are of bro
cade silks, pompadour and panne, beruf-
fed and beribboned, but the really choice
skirt is lawn, all needlework and lace or
embroidery. Some lovely clinging skirts
are of surah satin, or less expensive ones
are wash silk, and these are richly
weighted with lace and needlework.
White is the choice color, otherwise
black, still otherwise, and this vigorously,
the color that matches the outside skirt.
That's outright revolution.
