Popularity of Velvet

Velvet gowns are very chic this sea-
son, and are worn for all occasions.
Black velvet is exceedingly popular.
but the different shades of brown are
also considered desirable, and gray in
all shades is still in demand. Velvet
Gems is as fashionable this year as vel
vet and is manufactured of most beau
tiful quality and texture, SO that it is
almost impossible to tell it from the
velvet. AS a rule, velveteen and vel
vet gowns are worn only in the street,
but there are some few models made
up for the house. These, however, are
as rule of velveteen. The velvet Is for
dinner dress only, and then trimmed
with point lace as usual, or with some
embroidery done on the velvet itself.

The Streets of Fee.

The sun never touches the ground
in Fee. Morocco, except in few $50
lated spaces, owing to the narrow
streets, the hight of houses and the
habit of stretching trellises covered
with vines across from side to side.
The consequence is that its naturally
dark-skinned citizens, being rarely eX-
posed to the full light of day, have
compilations resembling partially de-
composed potato sprouts in dark eel
lar. The so-called streets run in
straight lines the entire length of the
town and are all paved with round
stones the size of cocoanuts, worn
smooth by the tread of generations of
slippered feet. AS these lanes are
never swept and every householder

his mode of fighting the zebra differs
from the horse.
When recommending, he moves at the

When running away he canters or

When charging he often carries his

one day from the central office of the
bureau of charities to distribute money
to some cases reported for instant re-

widow. seamstress, with one child, a
boy Of six. The room was cold and
bare; there was no fire, the windows
were loose and snow lay upon the floor.
The boy had been kept in bed for two
days to keep warm. I asked the usual
questions and gave the woman two dol
lars. All this before l discovered the
boy. Suddenly his head bobbed from
beneath the bedclothes, and at sight
of the two bills his eyes became moons.

British Coal Supply.

The British scientists, and following
them the British business interests, are
devoting much consideration to the
coal problem, and even there is much
serious thought already on the ques-
ton Of how long the coal supply of the
islands will last. Prof. James Giekie.

learned savant that is now writing on
the latter question. A royal commits
sion spent five years ON the subject.
between 1866 and 1871, and decided
that there was then JAG ,4SO, O0O, 900 tons
a practically inexhGustible supply
Prof Giekie is of the opinion that an
other royal commission should be ap-
pointed, taking the view that the op-
timistic report of the first learned body
is hardly justified by recent develop
ments. However, Prof. Giekie believes
that Great Britain will be able to hold
her own for many years to come with
other countries as far as fuel is con-
cerned.

A YOUNG PRESIDENT.
TWENTY-EloHT YEARS OLD, AND
HEAD OF A COLLEGE.
Howard Grimth Colwen Il the Young
est Man in Such High Position u
the United States-Has Had Auch
Success In His Vocation.

Howard Griffith Colwell. former
st. Louisan now in his 2Sth year. is
thought to be the youngest college
president in the United States.
At the opening of the collegiate
year of 1901, this exceptional young
man, then but 26 years old. was IN
stalled as president of Buchanan Col
lege at Troy, Mo-, going there from
La Grange College at La Grange, MO-.
where ne had been instructor in an
cient languages.
Buchanan College is in Lincoln
county. Mo. 1t is co-educational. The
college building overlooks the city
of Troy and the Cuivre valley, and is
surrounded by eight acres Of college
ground. The college was built in 1894
by citizens of Troy and Lincoln coun-
ty, and was opened in September OF
that year. Because of the devotion of
Alexander S. Buchanan and his gifts
of money for the establishment OF the
college, it was named for him.
Professor Colwell was born at
Homestead. Pa, July 9. 1874. He at
tended public schools and a high
school in youth, and in 1894 went to
William Jewell College at Liberty, Mo-,
doing in three years the work or
dinariiy done in four, and matriculat-
ing in 1894. In the summer of anas
year he organized the Elsh>rr5 A:sade-
my at Elsberry, Mo-, 3 "ork marked
by such excellent resultS that in his
second year he was offered the chair
| of ancient languages at La Grange
College, La Grange, Mo-, and accepted,
remaining there until called to the
presidency of Buchanan.
President Colwel is a son Of Rev.
J. F. Colwell, who was Baptist min
| lister and editor in ST. Louis from 1888
| until 1897, coming to ST. Louis in 1888
! to edit the American Baptist Flag for

A man who is interested in one of
the biggest gushers in the Beaumont
oil fields of Texas thus describes how
one Of the big wells starts:
1--WE knew some time before the
gusher was brought in that what we
hoped for Xas coming. The drillers
were prepl I'd for it and had removed
their tools from the deep hole. If they
had noH done that everything in the
well would have been thrown into the
air. We could hear the throbbings OF
a great force below. The noise was
like the puff of a monster engine,
dying away and then growing louder
than before The puffs soon increased
to a mighty roar, and we knew that
the climax would come soon. l was

THE OLD FERRY.
Where the yellow rapids ran
Through the brake Of reed and thorn
Fished the ancient ferryman
In the flush of early morn.
And he watched his blue cork culver
Till across the misty river
Game the mellow ferry horn.
Ran the sturdy farmer boys.
Wrestling on the messy banks,
Skipping stones and making noise,
Splashing up the footway planks,
Swapping jests and laughing merry,
While the bent and battered jerry
Frowned in dudgeon on their pranks.
Then in MONDAY heat and glare
Came the miller to mis- meal,
Bringing with him all the air
OF the cool old water wheel.
And he smoked and talked with Jerry
AS he lay back in the ferry,
Tossing at some surface eel.
And at sunset came stream
From the meadows and the shore
MiIkmaids with their pals of cream,
pumpkins weary armed and sore,
And they wove green hearts of grasses
Pressed them on the blushing lasses.
AS old Jerry bent his oar.

MORE POWER FROM NIAGARA.

MORE POWER FROM NIAGARA.
When the Duke of York was at Nj
agara falls he was pleased to lock
Flemish oak, silver-bound box which
Is to be placed in the corner stone of
the power station of the Canadian Nj
agara Power company. In the box were
inclosed photographs Of the royal
couple and their eldest son. newspa-
pers. lists Of the officers connected with
the Niagara development, the names Of
the members of the Ontario govern
ment and the commissioners of Queen
Victoria park, together with coins, ETC.
While at Niagara the duke manifested
great interest in the projected power
development for he recognized that it
was destined to be the greatest devel-
opment of the kint within the boun-
diaries of the British empire. The Nj
agara power plant will of necessity
have to rival many water-power de-
velopments, but Niagara has water
supply that exceeds all known powers.
The corner stone of the new power
station was prepared for laying in
hopes that the duke might find it pos
sible to lay it while in the Niagara To-
, cality, but the fact that he was there
on Sunday made it impossible for him
to take part in such a ceremony on
that day. 1t was this that led to his
locking the box above referred to. 1t
is ready to be placed in a recess left in
the stone, which will be covered as
the building assumes proportions. The
wheel-pit excavation has progressed
to solid rock, the earth having been
stripped off preparatory to the COM
mencement of blasting. All about the
place there is great activity and many
men and teams are in daily employ
ment. The projected development will
be 100000 horse power, and the first
and about 200 feet deep. The initial
development and installation will be
$4,000 horse power. Between the wheel
pit and lower river there will be tun-
mel 1900 feet in length. The portal OF
this tunnel will be at the base of the
Horseshoe fall and from it will pour
a stream into lower Niagara. In size
this tunnel will be larger than the tun-
mel Of the American side, says the
Philadelphia Record, but its length will
be only about one-third as great, the
tunnel of the Niagara Falls Power
company having a length of over 1000
feet. Both the tunnel and wheel pit
will be lined with brick throughout
required for this lining 1t is expected
that the tunnel will be completed early
in 1908, and if this is done the gen
Grated current may be ready for use

showing that at an unknown time the
waters and an oyster bed had been
there 1t is the more remarkable on
account of the fact that the oyster
shells were thrown from a depth OF
1000 feet below the level of the sea.
After the shells came mud and frag-
ments that had been made by the
drilling. We next saw soapstone, and
this was followed by a strong flow of
gas. Suddenly the action of the gush-
er died down, but only for a few mo-
ments. The same disturbing process
was repeated, and then came the OIL,
shooting out almost horizontally a
distance of $50 feet. The pipe was
quickly changed to an upright posi-
ton, and the column of oil, passing
through an eight-inch pipe, was 275
feet high We let the gusher have its
