There may be much scientific and
literary sympathy between nations
which are politically uncongenial.
There is a current medical proverb
In Europe that when a thing is veri-
fed on the banks of the Spree. as
well as on the banks of the Seine,
hat is. when Berlin and Paris agree.
there must be something in 1t. So
much has been added to our knowl-
edge of the physical history of the
ace by study and experiments In
France and Germany, that the proverb
is worthy to be remembered when the
political relations of the two coun-
tries are in question. Moreover. it is
net best for the world to emphasize
the f~raternizings rather than the
arrangements of the nations?

Women as Seefsrars

Women have not become prominent
on the sea as yet, but few of them
have attracted attention in this line
Olga, eldest daughter OF the Grand
Duke Constantine of Russia, and
wife of George l., the present King of
Greece, was appointed by her cousin,
the Car of Russia, to be Admiral in
the Russian feet, though her Office
was, Of course, an honorary one.
Lady Clifford, according to the
Strand, was the first lady in England
who ever obtained the Board of Trade
certificate for proficiency in naviga-
ton. With an efficient sailing master
under her orders she navigated $50
ton yacht in the Channel and Mediter-
ranean with such success that she in
tends shortly to visit the East in the
same manner.
Mrs. Minnie Hill, in 1890, held a
pilots license from the United States,
and piled her calling on the Pacific
coast.
Another American woman, Miss
Collie French, was admitted rs
member of the United States Ameri-
can Pilots Association for services on
the rivers Ohio and Mississippi, hay
ing served under her father, who was
a pilot for fifteen years.

AHnndsome Street Gown.

A very pretty street gown Of dull
grayish green cloth has the cloth skirt
made bell-shaped over drop skirt OF
tafeta. The drop skirt is finished
with very scaut circular cloth ruffie.
The cloth, which forms tunic, as it
were, being cut off shorter behind than
in front, is trimmed around the bottom
with thick, wide silk fringe. A
trimming of heavy ecru lace encircles
the skirt in a peculiar way. 1t is ap-
piled at about the height of the hips
behind and in front is made to dip
clear to the bottom of the skirt, The
lace is overhanded to the cloth with a
lining of dull violet taffeta, tackled
under each lace flower. The space
between the -Waist line is filed In
with wide wrinkled glrdre- of UtOtih-
The bolero is short and open in front
over a vest of white silk, embroidered
with detached lace flowers, laid over
shaped pieces of velvet silk. Lace
trimming like that on the skirt is
turned back around the neck and
down the fronts of the bolero, which
is made without collar. 4 single
large motif of lace, with bits of violet
silk under the flo vers. is placed at the
height of the sleeve. The standing
collar is of white silk, horizontally
tucked and decked in front with full
short-looped bow OF violet foulard.
Two ends hanging from the bow are
finished with wide violet silk fringe.
The fringe at the bottom of the tunic
lis of black silk and chenille.

Look For the "Planet of Romance, "
on MAY 2Sth.

Part of the investigations of May
2Sth will be directed, not to the sun
itself, but to the space lying between
the sun and Mercury. We are told in
a paper by Julia MacNair Wright in
the May New Lippincott" that it has
been the dream Of many astronomers
that about half way between tie sun
and Mercury lies little planet, lost in
the efSIlgence of the sun. Sir Will
liam Ball names this the Planet of
Romance" Other astronomers have
searched for it, christening it Vulcan
before it has been found. If ever such
a planet rolled exactly between the
earth and the sun, it would sometimes
be seen crawling like black dot across
the suns disk. In the gloom Of an
eclipse such an orb might show its
face if its position as regards the earth
were favorable. Most astronomers
have copcluded that there is no such
planet, but that the space between
Mercury and the sun is empty.

The Hair is Waved.

Fashion still DEGREES the hair must
be waved, not in the small wave as
though it had been frizzed, bnt in the
loose soft waves that are always be-
coming and look as though they were
natural. There are great many diff
ferent ways now Of producing this
wavy effect besides using the hot
irons, but if the irons are not rough
nor overheated, there is not a great
deal of danger of the hair being IN
iured. The trouble is that people go
on using the same irons even when
there is roughuess that is sure to
come on any metal that is constantly
heated, and it is this roughness that
cuts the hair. There are plenty OF
women whose hair is in perfect condl-
tion and yet has been waved every day
for some years, but it has been most
carefully done and the irons have been
absolutely smooth There is no end
of devices for waving the hair-large

Black, white, or very light tints Of
ribbons, are used in profusion on the
newest silk underskirts.
In the renewed rage for killed and
plated effects, fine accordion plating
has also returned to favor.
One of the newest forms of the

than usually charming, Of course,
the pastel shades have a prominent
place.
Lace effects in the new ribbons are
very new; one particularly lovely one
had pin cord of white striped on a
pale green satin ground, with heavy
lace border.
From Lyons looms this season come
double-width silks both plain and
bordered to be used for the new killed
and ox-plaited skirts, and circular
overdresses.
Dainty handkerchiefs in pale colors
embroidered with white are pretty
triaes which are exceedingly effective
if they match the prevailing color IN
the costume.
Skirts in plated form will have un-
questioned reign for two seasons to
come, and in the hands Of various
noted ateliers they are increasing with
extraordinary rapidity.
Shades of gray are charming in the
new woolen materials which are to be
seen for the new gowns. Some OF
them are to be seen with pretty satin
stripes, some with little embroidered
figures, the small bow knots that never
seem to grow old.
The little bits of hemstitched linen
or lace and muslin which decorate the
tops of all silk or ribbon collars are
easily made at home, and as one needs
many of them this is economical. 4
straight band about ali inch deep is
made, and they are put into the top

HOW THEY CUT DOWN BIG TREES.
The Method Employed in Telling the
Giant Redwoods of California.


It is most interesting sight to be-
lold one of these giant redwoods fall.
| The process of cutting is effected
through the use of the axe and the
saw. All axes are double-faced,
through which much time is saved in
sharpening. Sometimes the axes
start the cut on both sides of the
trunk and at places about opposite
each other through the thickness of thej
tree. After the chopping has pene.i
trated to the depth Of about!
two feet on each side, the saw is
started in the line of the incisior
and the job completed with that in,
strument. Generally, however, the
direction in which The tee is to fall isi
determined, and the cut is made in
that side to the depth of from one
three feet. Then the choppers pass
to the opposite side and begin saving
ct e point several feet higher than the
place of the incision. As the saw
moves through the heart of the giant
he begins to sag down on the side
where the wound Is gaping. In do
ing this he lifts apart the cut andI
opens the section which the ssw is
making, thereby keeping free play for!
the saw. This is aided at times by
driving wedges at the place where the
saw entered.
Presently it is apparent that the
section is opening wider and wider
and that the tree is beginning to lean
away from the cutters. They con-
lhnue with their work moment
longer, then is heard the cracking Of
the wood fbres in front of the saw
teeth. Another swish of the saw and
these increase. They give report like
firing pistols and the rapidity of deto-
nation of a Gatling gun. The sounds,
getting more rapid, presently merge
into a continuous roar. Then, if you
are standing near by and the tree
is large, you will get the impression
that everything above is coming to
earth; that the whole forest is falling.
The great mast starts slowly to
topple, cracking and exploding ever
louder at its base, until with fright
full momentum, it comes sprawllng
down, cracking and crushing and |

native State" in the Woman's Home
Companion, John Gilmer Speed tells
this fact, which will astonish those
who consider Paris the Mecca Of the
best in artistic lines:
Recently an American artist who
lives in Paris was visiting his family
in New York. He spent all the time
he could at the opera. His people
were quiet folks and could not under
stand the young mans enthusiasm.
They thought his fondness for music
was so great that perhaps he had
made mistake in choosing his vOca.
ton and should have adopted the fid-
die and the bow instead of the palette
and brush. They were incredulous
when he told them that it was impos-
sible to hear and see in Paris such
magnificent presentations of opera as
were common in New York. They
thought, as most of.us think. that ev-
cry kind Of art flourisheS better in
Paris than anywhere else. The idea
that i'll practical America their arts
tic son and brother could hear better
music than in Paris was something Of
shock to them. And we'll it might
have been. for Paris is the home of
art, and art is still encouraged and
developed better there than here, for
there there is religion of art, and the
votaries have a zeal and an enthu-
siasm which compel respect But not
withStanding this we have tie price to
pay for what we want in this country,
and the liberality to pay as we'll. For
instance, Jean de ResZke, who is con-
sidered by some the greatest grand
opera tenor the world has ever seen,
and generally conceded to be the pre-
mier tenor Of the decade now ending,
never gets less than fifteen hundred
dollars for an evening in America, and
sometimes as much as th1rty-five hun
sdred dollars; but in Italy, France or
Germany he would have to be content
with tRo hundred dollars; while his
reward in London might go as high as
five hundred dollars Naturally,
therefore, we get in the larger cities
of America the best talent the world
holds, and the past two seasons in
New York have been the most brilliant

Fuel Oil Tests.

So far the tests with fuel oil in
tended as substitute for coal on ships
of war, which are being made at Nor
folk and New York, do not appear to
have sustained the glowing reports Of
tests made abroad. 1t is most prob
able, however, that coal will some day
be superseded by some more easily
handled fuel. The authorities having
charge Of the present tests have nearly
reached the conclusion that fuel oil
will be valuable only in times of emer-
gency. especially on board torpedo
boats, when it is necessary to get up
steam quickly. At such times the
question of economy need not enter
into the matter. 1t is yet too early 10
determine whether fuel oil will be
smokeless, and the other features
which have recommended rs trial have
not been fully demonstrated, therefore
it may be some time before anything
definite in the way of an improvement
will be discovered.
