The short skirt is undoubtedly the skirt

There is no question that in contra
distinction to the light frothiness of the

magnificence of effect. Beautiful glow
ing velvets, the richest and stateliest
of brocades, will compose our evening
gowns; and furs, deep and soft, are left
alone in their glory, for no longer is it
smart to adorn them with lace, chiffon,
or other f1imsy trimmings.
Coats and nantes are too varied to
be quoted in detail. There is feeling
in favor of the tight-fitting coat with
long basque
The loose-backed coat is still popular,
but usually it's fullness is caught in at the
back waist by belt which stops short
at the side seams. Capes and capelets
in one, two or three-fold form, embellish
most of the newest coats, the shoulder
slope being more accentuated than ever.
Many smart coats are made of sort
of fur cloth with close moire surface.
There is always some flash of bright
ly embroidered, showing in these coats.
Cloth of gold, embroidered with silk
flowers of the most brilliant hue, is used

RADIUM CARNATIONS.
stance Can Be Used to Cure
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Frederick Soddy, who was Prof. Ruth
erford, assistant at McGill university,
in Montreal, has suggested another use
for radium. He argues that as it has
been found to cure consumption of the
skin Qupus), it should also cure con-
sumption OF the lungs, if its rays can be
brought to bear directly on the diseased
lung tissue, without any intervening
substances, such as the chest wall. At
first sight, says the Scientific American,
this seems rather difficult thing to do,
as it is, of course, out of the question to
place any solid mass of radium within
the lungs themselves. But recent stud
les have shown that radium in solution
gives off a gas and that this gas is itself
radioactive. So all that is necessary to
subject the internal lung tissue to the
direct action of radium rays is to breathe
a mixture of air and the radium gas. BY
this means Mr.. Soddy believes new and
valuable remedy for consumption will be
available to the pathologist. The rays
from radium have already proved use
full in the treatment of several forms of
skin disease, and it has been suggested
that the insertion of minute particles
of radium in the interior of cancer is
worth trying. 1t should be remembered,
however, that even if radium proves val
liable in the treatment Of pulmonary tu-
berculosis, its cost is so high-several
hundred dollars a grain-that it could
not come into general use under present
conditions

On reaching it his men found simply

germ of Spanish city, the first on the

though those early settlers appreciated
that there was great future in store
for the place, the greatness that even
tually came was undreamed of. Even

where baI ges took it to the stately

coast.
Royal favor was early bestowed upon
the city, and the king, in return for the
wealth gathered by the natives for
him, built for the natives beautiful
churches and cathedrals. AS the town
grew, the wonder and riches of it grew
apace. To such an extent that covetous
eyes were cast upon it, covetous hands
despoiled it. In 1870 it was the largest
and richest city in the new world and
contained 10000 inhabitants. 1t was at
this period that those wild rovers, the
buccaneers, were assailed by Spain and
they retaliated with full vengeance. The

DANGER IN SLEEPING CARS

The filthy and disease-laden sleep
ing car has been duly scored by the
American Health association. At the
meeting in Washington, says the STAR.
the subject was very thoroughly dis
cussed from a sanitary standpoint.
Although the facts regarding the culp-
able uncleahliness of berths are ad-
mitted by the public, their rehearsal
from time to time helps to emphasize
the necessity for reform.
The railroad companies are always
Seady with excuses against lettering
conditions. Their business is to
avoid trouble and save expense. The
casual traveller may glowl as much as
he chooses, but is oftener contented
to submit to an infection rather than
suffer the humiliation of a fruitless
appeal to authority.
No one needs be told that the ordi-
nary heavy curtained and ill-ventilated
night car is a veritable propagation of
infectious diseases. What better could
be expected when the nightly used
blankets, as claimed by one speaker,
are cleansed but once in six months?
And, pray, what power exists to call
officials TO account? What is the real
guarantee for the sleeper that he is
absolutely safe from the germs left
for him from the previous customer?
The only remedy rests in the ordinary
honesty of the common carrier.

built Immediately and fortified very
strongly. The site chosen for the new
town was close to the old one, on a lit
tie peninsula at the base of hill. The
rebuilt town became one of SPANS
most powerful strongholds; the walls
were built of massive granite, from 20
to 40 feet in height and ten feet thick;
at intervals of 200 and 800 feet strongly
fortified watch towers were placed;
deep moat divided the city from the
mainland, and three great gates gave
entrance and exit. .rhe cost of all this
was enormous. M. Mcmahon, writing
of Panama, old and new, tells an anec-
dote relative to the money spend upon
these walls: "The story is told of
king of Spain, who looking one day
FROM the window of his palace, shaded
his eyes with his hand. A minister re-
marked the action. L am looking said
the king for the walls of Panama, for
they cost enough to be seen even from
here When the Spanish council came
to auditing the accounts for the fortifi-
cations, the sarcastic inquiry was
whether the walls of new Panama were
made of silver or gold.
The new Panama, like the old, en-
joyed great prosperity, and up to 1744
was the principal entrepot of trade
on the Pacific coast. But at that time,
trade between Europe and western
America began to be carried on around
Cape Horn; and this fact, added to the
decline of the Spanish possessions in
America, reduced the commerce of Pan
anna to mere nothing; and SO it re-
manned until the establishment of the
western steamship lines and the build
ing of the Panama railroad.
Cerro de los Buccaneers (the Hill of
the Buccaneers) is the name by which
one of the SUBMITS overlooking Pana-
ma is called to this day, and doubtless

QUEER WEATHER STATION.
Shaped Like a She'll and Is Visible
from n Great Distance
Out at Sea.

One of the sights of Atlantic City is
the peculiarly shaped structure at the
foot of Pennsylvania avenue, on the
ocean side of the Boardwalk, says the
Minneapolis Tribune. 1t is the new
weather station erected by the govern
ment, and its plan is SO odd that it is
regarded rs most attractive curiosity
by the countless number of visitors who
flock to the seaside during the warm
months.
1t is said to be the most queerly con-
structed building ever erected by Uncle
Sam. 1t has been popularity named the
shell, on account of it's likeness to the
growth of the sea so commonly found on
the sands.
This oval structure, formed of steel
and galvanized iron, has been COM
pleted at cost of $4,000 1t shows the
colors SO dear to the heart of an Amer
lean, having been painted in red, white
and blue. The exterior and the fancy
cornice are of blue, the interior is of
white and the ribs are of red.
The structure is so conspicuous that
it can be seen for many miles up and
down the coast, and is visible from a
great distance at sea.
A huge weather map, with glass front,
on which is traced daily the changes of
the weather, the direction and velocity
of the wind, the temperature, ETC.. as
reported to the central weather bureau
at Washington, and now telegraphed
daily to the state observatory now To-
Gated at Atlantic City, has been in
stalled.
Visitors will have the opportunity to
observe the weather at all times when
ever they are in the neighborhood Of the
shell station.

it is only hairy, silvery surface on the
black material, or a stripe raised like
a ridge, or an oblong splash of closely
set silvery white fur.
A very smart short skirt is the UNI
brella cut into narrow and graduated
cores, say nine or II cores. With this
skirt the coatlet may be a Russian
blouse jacket, or three-quarter tight
fitting coat. The seams should all be
strapped with glace silk. The upper
part of the coat sleeve might match the
dress and end little below the Shout
der line, where the glace silk sleeve bal
looms out in the fullness provided by it's
closely-set gathers. Long skirts are
more or less of the umbrella type, but
many are gathered or tucked at the
top.
The present tendency in skirts is the
multiplication of the cores, as many as
