 Professor Robert Koch will start for South Africa on December IF to engage in further scientific investigation of rinderpest and other animal diseases. His last trip devoted to the discovery of remedies for these diseases, was in l behalf of the British government. Tn the course of the professors investiga- lions some theoretical and scientific problems arose which he did not have time to solve. The present trip will be devoted to the study of these problems. l An administration official declares that it is all nonsense about men refus- ing cabinet positions and congressional nominations on the sole score that 1t is too expensive to live in Washington. ''Nine-tenths of them,' he says, mot only live within their salaries, but save l money. Some spend great deal more than they receive from the government, l and they can well afford to do so. Good | formal dinners and similar entertain ments can be given in the capital as cheaply as in any other place and at | less cost than in many large cities" The richest and most expensive dress | in the world was exhibited at the great worlds fair at St. Louis. This gown cost $5o,O00 and has been considered the most wonderful creation Of the Parssian dressmaker's art. It was made for the famous Empress Josephine, who in the height of her popularity was perhaps the most beautiful woman in 1 the world. The gown weighs seventy five pounds and has train fifteen feet long. It is made of the heaviest and richest velvet of the choicest manufac- ture and is bordered with ermine that cost a small fortune. The skirt, bodice md train are studded with hand worked golden bees, symbolic of the Napoleonic dynasty Tastefully worked into the gown are many costly jewels.
