Rrlnht coIors on Hats.

Milliners have no hesitancy in say
ing that hats will be very bright this
winter, not to say gay. There is a
tendency TO take UP the hat of many
colors, the hat that combines white
with orange and which introduces
touches of black, says the St Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The hat is undoubtedly the keynote
to the costume, for it mirrors the
dress. The great handsome picture
hats OF chiffon and feathers are WON
with calling and reception costumes,
while the neat little compact hats.
with their stiff coque feathers, or
prim rosettes and choux, and their
beaded designs, are for less formal
wear.
Roses are to be conspicuously used
In the trimmings of hats. The single
rose will stand at the front of the hat,
with a large rose at each side OF it.
Three roses make a pretty trimming
for any style of hat.
There are to be opera hats this
winter and they will be worn by WON
en- in decollete who have never worn
hats to the opera. Lovely great pic
ture hats, as large as a a r wheel,
will be worn in the opera boxes by
women whose necks r strung with
diamond chains.

The ReanstaIk Eucalyptus.

A tree which grew nearly twenty
feet in a year and a half has just
gone from the experimental station
in Santa Monica Canon to the Worlds
Fair to show what California can do
when in a hurry for a place in the
shade. 1t holds the championship
long-distance tree sprinting record OF
the United States. 1t is a variety
of eucalyptus. A small grove of these
trees was planted on a shaggy cliff
back of the experimental station,
where it seemed that no tree would
grow at all. But the rate at which
they have shot up under skillful at
tention almost staggers belief. When
this particular tree was about a year
and a half old it measured four inches
in diameter. They had to pull it up
for fear it would break the Santa
Monica speed ordinance. In order to
get it safely to the fair the whole tree
was carefully packed in MOSES and
soaked cloths.

Making Artificial RubIes.

Few problems have had greater In.
terest for the chemist than the artt
fetal preparation Of diamonds and
other precious stones, though their
efforts have not been marked with
conspicuous success, despite the In,
vention of the electric furnace and
other means Of producing high tenn.
perature. A recent process is the
making Of artificial rubies, and has
been discovered by a German chemist
named Verneuil. 1t consists of fusing
a mixture of clay and chromium oxide
with the heat of an oxyhydrogen burn.
! er and then allowing the mass to cool
+ suddenly, thus producing crystals.
The two materials are placed in alter
nate horizontal layers, and the heat.
which is as intense as possible, is ap-
piled from above. The quick cooling
caused by suddenly shutting off the
blast produces the hardness charac-
~teristic of the ruby, and the resulting
crystal, which is pure and brilliant, Is
said to possess all the physical prop
critics of the natural gem, being cut
readily and taking a fine polish.-Har-

Japanese Socialism.

The presence of a Japanese dele

many Of our institutions and ideas
that Socialism was bound to creep In
among them. Katayama's party, like
its European models. is now engaged
In agitating against the o 1t is
not pro-Russian; neither as Japanese
nor as Socialists could Katayama and
his friends have any sympathy with
the Slav despotism. But Japanese
Socialists oppose the war, no doubt,
because it means heavy taxation on
the poor and the strengthening Of the
military element, which Is always
most hostile to Socialism. Their ef-
forts will be useless. In the midst OF
Japan's life and death struggle there
Is no room for debate as to the mer-
it's OF a wal policy. But after the war
is over, more will be heard Of the
Socialists in connection with the Ia
Dor movement. Katayama declares
that Japanese trades unions have no
politics, but only seek to improve the
condition of the worker. He errs in
comparing them in this respect to
our trade unions, which at the forth
coming congress will affirm their po-
litical faith in decisive terms on free
trade, Chinese labor and other burn
ing questions OF the day. But Kata-
yama probably hopes, like English
Socialists, to capture the trade unions
for the independent Socialist party.
It remains to be Der whether this
policy, which has not gone far in
England, will succeed in Japan.-Lon-
