varied assortment as that gathered
here for the women. All the sum-

or SO borrowed from the styles for
grown-ups-not too much. They
still remain just baby coats.

"The fact that she was shrieking

The acute congestion Of the lungs
that was the cause OF her death was
brought about by exposure In the wa,

Many Persons Thought Water Was

When II was flrst proposed 10 lay

said II would not sink to the bottom,
but would remain suspended at a GER

OF course the pressure increases with
the depth on all sides Of the cable In
It's descent through the sea. but as
practically everything on earth is
more compresslblo than water Il
is obvious that the iron wire.

Thus tho cable constantly increases
in density. or specific gravity. in go

practically speaking, veiy nearly tho
same specific gravity as at tho sur

Of water tho hydraulic press would
