Fan shaped motifs form the edgings
to many of the laces used this season.
Long sash ends of black tulle with
knots half the length are effective on
evening gowns.
The feature in the summer goods is
the silky finish and the openwork strip
ing in the weaving.
Barege, embellished with lace and
fagOtting is one of the fayorite mate
rials for summer gowns.
Little shallow scallops or tiny founces
cut in the form of miniature yandykes
decorate some of the newest skirts.
Cording in black and white gives a
chic finish to etamine costumes, partic-
ularly in the tan shades, frightened
by touch of blue.
Partisan and home dressmakers have
made a speciality this season Of simple
pretty blouse and shirt suits Of linen
and duck in delicate cOlorings.

bellished with medallions of lace and

An illustration that is very effective is

This device. one OF the simplest and
least expensive known TO man, has al
most gone out Of fashion for children.
Anybody who was brought up IN n
country village where the swing was
as much q part Of The furniture Of the
yard as was the front doorstep knows
wha. "a delight It was TO children Of All
ages aud sizes. TO one who possesses
these memories the modern apology for
swing. with rs Battle-Ground seat and
ugly framework, Is positively painful.
Where Is the chance for exercise IN
that machine? What child old enough
to have a mind of It's own wants TO get
into cradle and be swung back and
forth by a nurse?
The old-fashioned swing was a rope
hung I'm a long loop, with a notched
board placed In the loop, and the child
could SIT or stand, according 10 age
and ability. Expert youngsters could
"swing standing up" until the rope was
nearly horizontal. the weight of the
body holding It taut, so that the danger
Of accidents was practically non-exlst-
ent. The falls which children have
had from the swings were, in nine
cases out Of ten, the result Of scuflling
or malicious pushing, and not of the
amusement itself. 1t IS one Of those
amusements which look a good deal
more dangerous than they are. In ac-
curing momentum every muscle is
brought into play, and the hands and
arms are strengthened gradually,
without strain, so that all the benefits
Of athletic training are secured, togeth-
er with recreation, and that is always
good point to make with children

The force of gravity over the land is
determined by counting the number
of swings Of a pendulum of known
length that occur in a known lapse Of
time. Dr. Hecker, of Potsdam, has
recently made an attempt to deter
mine the relative force of gravity over
different parts of the Atlantic Ocean
between Hamburg and Bahia by
means of a barometer and a hypso-
meter Ga boiling-point thermometer.
The barometric formula contains a
term depending on the intensity OF
gravity at the place of observation.
The hysometer is independent of this
influence. A comparison Of the results
of simultaneous observations by the
two methods affords a means of de-
termining the force of gravity APP
prOximately. The preliminary results
indicate that gravity of the deep ocean
is nearly normal and they confirm
Pratt's hypothesis in regard TO the
isostatic arrangement of the masses Of
the earths crust.

The epoch Of the beginning of life
on the earth cannot be carried back
according to the reasoning Of +. J.
Allen, further than the date of the
appearance Of water on the earth's
surface. The powerful shocks of light
ming which must have occurred con
tinually in the damp, warm atmos-
phere then existing, led to the produc-
tion of ammonia and the oxide of
nitrogen, as happens to-day. These sub
stances were carried down in solution
by the rains, and on the surface of
the earth met solutions Of carbonic
acid and the Chords, sulphates, and
phosphates of the alkalies and metals.
This was then the first opportunity
for the formation of varied heterogeneous
combinations and for the coming into
being Of the first living substance.

Mr. Bovey has recently described in
the transactions of the Royal Society
of Canada, an extensometer for deter
mining the longitudinal extension or
compression of a horizontal beam
loaded transversely. 1t consists, in es-
sence, of two parallel overlapping
steel bars, the opposite ends of which
rest, by knife blades, against two
points of the specimen to be exam
ined. Between the faces of the two
bars is a small roller carrying a mir
rOr. Any extension or compression of
the specimen causes the roller to ro-
tate through an angle and defects a
beam of light thrown Oh the surface
of the small mirror The motion of
the beam of light can be read by a
telescope of considerable magnifying
power, and thus extremely small de-
Elections can be accurately measured.

TROUBLE
For Mike Birmingham In Proving
an Alibi.

When Mike Birmingham, arrested
some time ago and charged with petit
larceny was arraigned he pleaded not
guilty and claimed he could easily
prove that he had not been in Akron
at the time the theft of which he is
accused was committed. DR.. S. J.Free-
man was the complaining witness, and
he claimed that Birmingham took his
bicycle and some tools from his office.
When Birmingham was arrested he
claimed that he had Just come from
Toledo, and he gave number of re-
ferences, naming people who, he said,
could prove an alibi for him. Chief
Durkin wrote to the Toledo police au-
thorities at once, asking about the re-
ferences, and he received letter Fri
day morning, saying that no one could
be located there who had seen Bir-
mingham for several months.

HARD WORK
Stunned by Too Many
Young Men.
'Morsan's Right Hand Man Likes

Chicago, Aug. 30- ''Too many young
men in this country don't want to
work hard. They prefer to take things
easy--stay up late at nights and lie

but the old rule remains that there is
no SUCCESS without everlastingly keep
ing at it."

kins, optimist, had for young America

clare that this was the era 8 of the

who will work. asa ..
