Blue SERGE Always In Favor.

Blue serge costumes never seem to
60 out of fashion, and Just now they
are very much In evidence. For gen
eral seaside wear, and for yachting
gowns, there is nothing to equal navy
blue serge; but everything lies in its
make and trimming. Combinations of
blue and some other color are still
adopted by the fashionable world. but
blue and green have had their day, in
spite OF the fact that blue serge
dresses, piped with bright emerald
green velvet, have not yet finally
dipped below the modish horizon.
Navy blue. daintily piped with scarlet,
is always in good taste. and navy blue
serge trimmed with white cloth is the
perfection of quiet elegance. 1t makes
a char ming gown as a standby 1or the
late summer and early autumn sea.
son: 1t Is very useful for either sea
side or yachting. and last. but not
least. 1t makes an ideal going away
gown for an August or September
bride.

VOLCANO A WEATHER PROPHET

Ing Is from an account of q dinner
given by the Geographical Council
club of England In 1893: Capt
Wharton. the photographer to the
admiralty, told how he had once an.
chored In very deep water on the
east side of Volcano, the southern.
rtost of the Lipari isles, but that he
had kept up stream, with the intention
of being off Immediately II the wind
changed to the east. He mentioned
this to an Englishman who lived on
the island and was in charge of some
borax works. But said the man.
there is not the remotest chance OF
the wind going round to the east
without the full warning What
warning? asked the other. 'oh!' was
the rejoinder, the volcano always
warns us. The volcano!' said Whar-
ton. Yes, the volcano; fumarone"
always emits whistling sound before
the east wind oegins to blow Shortly
after this Wharton was looking at
Strabo and. TO his establishment. found
that that writer mentions the fact.
The Englishwan had never heard OF
Strabo In his life. Strabo died as an
old nan about A. D. rs. 30 that this

Snakes, EYES Never Closed,

Snakes may almost be said to have
glass eyes. inasmuch as their eyes
never close. They are without lids.
and each is covered with a transpar-
emit scale, much resembling glass.
When the reptile sheds its outer skin
the eye scales come off with the rest
of the transparent envelope out Of
which the snake slips. This CLASSY
eye scale is SO tough that 1t effec-
tually protects the true eye from the
twigs, sharp grass and other obstruc-
lions which the snake encounters in
its travels, yet it is transparent
enough to allow the most perfect
vision. Thus, If the snake has not a
glass eye. it may, at any rate. be said
to wear glasses.
