Is any snort skirt a rainy daisy or is there
a particular style of abbreviation that en-
titles a woman's dress TO hat name? Be-
fore we heard of rainy daisies we had BIZ
cycle skirts, and latterly We have become
used to the golf skirt. On Thursday /
crossed the East river by way of the Thir-
ty-fourth-street ferry, and the boat was
crowded with women of youth and beauty,
age and wrinkles. They presented some
startling reveiations-not of ankles, but of
common sense that is uncommon. Nearly
ali wore short skirts about boot-top height.
and even the matrons looked younger and
happier than usual. Only a Few had wheels
and one or two were Juggling golf sticks.
The others may belong to the rainy daisy
club. There was. however. no prospect of
rain, and / take IL that the skirts were
short because the women who live down
on Long island are sensible creatures. not
street sweepers.

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
sThe Chamber of Horrors" Which was

%The Chamber of Horrors" Which W@a
 SBuitt. a Hundred Years Ago.
 One Of the euriosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into a museum. or into what foreign jour- .nalist style "a chamber of horrors" She was built, no years ago, and her First years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and sEngland. In 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters Of wester' Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth 7blace the town of Perth in Australia takes it's name. From 1847 to 1851 the Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip she had on board several hundred immi- grants who intended to seek tueir for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too left the ship and
 
 went off to seek their fortunes. The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemen's Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as floating prison for especially dangerous erim- inals. The vessel then became popu- larly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean," a title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru- ments of torture and number Of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and are attracting 8 crowd or sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Har'tor, in Scotland.--Se" York Herald.

 What an unmodern sound is that of "a deyil-possessed land!" Still, Capt. Welbey, who has been wandering in the interior of Africa, declares that he found one there. It is called Walamo, and is believed to be haunted by evil spirits. Capt. Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey of de- mons. He found it most winsome couhtry, full of luxuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceived by Capt, Welbey was the sudden madness of one of his men. This unfortunate rushed into camp raving maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and dan gerous sort soon followed. The Af- ricans who formed Capt. Welbey's es- cort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala- mo inhabitants while they ate He himself, skeptical regarding these amazing statements. partook of meal before many Walamoans, who ob- served him all the while, he declares, with great fixity. Afterward, to his own astonishment, he began to feel exceedingly i'll. He does not admit, however, that he went mad. and as numerous explorations were subse- quently made by him. he probably did not A sensible solution of the whole strange problem is doubtless to be found in some malarial or other pois- onous condition of the land Hosts of horrors have thus far degged the trend of British exploration in Africa, but none, perhaps, has been fraught with such impisb mysterT as this

Two Reasons Why People Do Not as

 The pulpit used to be the chief means of instruction and of intellectual and moral S mutation for the people. The pulpit orator was the peoples or ator. The pulpit has in great measure lost it's attractive power in this re- gard, says Popular Science. The daily and weekly press have greater infiu- ence in public instruction. The multi plication of cheap books also takes from the pulpit large share of its in Auence in this regard. Oratory in legis- lative bodies has to a great extent lost its influence. Its place has been taken by simple, compact, time-saving state ments, often printed but not delivered. Committees do the work which used to be done after discussion before the public So the people will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former gen. eratfons. They demand short, crisp ser mons that bristle with points and are practical and helpful. In other words, the oratorieaI and highly intellectual character of the pulpit, which used to attract worshipers, no longer attracts them. They feel that they can get more benefit in this regard by reading in the comfort of the home. Multi tudes of people can no longer be in duced to attend church to be instructed by the minister or to get his Judgment on topics of the time, or to be stirred by his eloquence; they can get all these things cheaper and easier by reading at home. When, now, this is re-enforced by the fact that multitudes dislike the doctrines of the church and resent tsthem when they are preached, we can easily understand that church attendance should decline very greatly from this reason.

sAPPHIREs ARE NOT ALL BLUE

Other Tints Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceylon Gems.
 ''It is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as gem of a sich velvety blue in color" observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. "As a matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues. In Ceylon, for in- stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found. it ranges from the soft Yelvety blue to the peacock blue, graduated in the latter to an almost faultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or stTeaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transversely, but having a bit of fine blue tint on the under point. Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-red color. Some very fine sapphires have been found in Montana during the psst ten years The American gems are light blue, blue-green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this country Washington Star
