GLOOM PREVAILS
PEssiMisM REIGNs CONCERNING
PEACE CONFERENCE.
POWERS USEINC PERSUASION
Pressure Is Beng Used to Induce ia
pan to Moderate Terms-Has
Been implacabIe.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 19.-Black
pessimism reigned at Portsmouth last
night. The private view is that the
fate of the peace conference is al
ready sealed, that 1t is ended in fail
ure and that all that now remains is
for the plenipotentiaries to meet on
Tuesday, to which they adjourned yes
terday afternoon upon completing the
seriatim consideration of the Japan
csc terms, sign the final protocol, go
through the conventions and bid each
other farewell. In other words, that
the meeting Tuesday will be what they
may practically call the "seance O.
adieu," but there is still room for hope
Of compromise.
Neither President Roosevelt nor the
powers will see that chance of peace
shipwrecked without final effort, and
that pressure is being exerted, espe-
cially at Toxic, to induce Japan to
moderate her terms. Just what is be.
ing done or is to be done has not
transpired.
King Edward is understood to be
now lending helping hand, and the
financial powers of the world are
known to be exerting all their influ-
ences. At Toxic and st. Petersburg
the final issue will be decided

He dare not play horse round the lawn

WINDOW DRAPERY
Practical Hints on Selection
and Artistic Arrangement

In selecting window curtains and
draperies for the home. the following
suggestions might be profitably adopt
ed:
The natural advantages peculiar to
each room frequently suggest basis
for a decorative scheme, and in plan
ming for it too much stress cannot be
laid upon the importance OF this pre-
liminary survey, for plans are some
times suggested which have to be con
siderably modified in their execution
often to the disappointment of the
customer.
Where a festoon drapery is to be ar
ranged, it is a good idea to have the
drapery salesman or decorator sketch
designs on paper, which should adj
here rigidly to the architectural pro-
portions and other furnishings of the

LAY EGGS IN INCHES.
Sea Birds Have Scheme That Does
Away With Nests.


w. l.. Finley, the new naturalist
photographer. writes in the Country
Calendar of his experience on Three
Arch Rocks, off the Oregon coast, as
follows:
by far the commonest birds on
the rocks are the California murres
They nest up and down the sides of
the cliff, wherever the ragged rock
furnishes a footing. There is not the
least sign of nest, but the single
egg is deposited wherever there is a
niche to keep it from dropping into
the sea. The peculiar top shape of
the murres egg is a unique device
to keep it from rolling. The practical
value of this can be seen every day
on the sloping edges. We tried sew
eral experiments with these eggs, and
found they were of such taper that not
one rolled over the edge. When they
were started down grade. they did
not roll straight, but swung around
like a top and came to standstill
four or five inches down. The eggs
were tough-shelled, and a sharp push
sent one only about nine inches be-
fore it whirled around on it's vertical
axis"

A short time after his graduation,
when the alumni were to play the un-

down his old position as third base
man. He declined the offer, saying
that he was now making home runs
for God"
The professor who was making the
arrangements wrote to him the Sec
ond time, saying: "All right, Frank;

while sliding home"

There are fads in lace curtains and

beautiful, but there's something the
matter with the head. The curtains
which she selects for her windows
may also be the very latest fashion,
and yet may not be becoming to her
particular style of house. There are
usually enough new things to suit all
styles of architecture and furnishings.

VAUDEVILLE.

The adoption by the theatrical fra ternity of Flossie Crane, "'The Girl from Coney Island," who heads the bill at the Jacques this week, was very sudden. Oscar Hammerstein, manager of the famous Paradise roof garden in New York, chanced to hear her while touring on the BOwery of Coney in an automobile. Mr Hammersten was so impressed with the wondrous volume of tone possessed by the singer that he transplanted her to his roof garden, where she became the rage of the sum- mer amusement season. Flossie took very kindly to the stage, so much so, in fact, that she soon became familiar with it's tenets in regard to the proper costuming of a prima donna, her sal ary having jumped in a night from something like $3 q week to $100. Miss Crane was born in Brooklyn and her grandmother was Shlnnecock Squaw. For five years before Man. ager Hammerstein found her in the COney Island concert hall Flossie had earned her living singing in various haunts on the BOwery of that famous resort She, is trying hard, however, to acquire a manner" She has been heard more than once to exclaim: "Hully gee. wisht I was reefned"' An aspiration which is more pathetic than it sounds Her voice possesses in addition to its marvellous singing quail fly a range that is phenomenal as she takes both basso profundo and soprano altissimO notes with equal ease and clarity "The Girl from Coney Island is bound to be the sensation of this week in town.

Their act is more handsome and entertaining than ever and deserves the praise it will receive from all who see it. The other players on the bill are almost all old favoriteS and the list includes the Magnami family of musical barbers. Louise Henry and company.

also caught every year at Karluk can- nery, on Kodiak island. and in many rivers along the Alaska peninsula. The flesh of this salmon is firm and dark red in color. It commands a good price in tins, and is the form most univer- sally seen and used in various parts of the world.
 Although the commencement of the run of red salmon varies in dates ac- cording to the localities. the main one may be said to last from the middle of June until mid-August. The 0. nerka, shortly after entering fresh water lake and commencing to spawn, undergo an extraordinary metamorphosis in color, and during the transitory stages assume a number of different ,hues The fish turn from bright silver to a peculiar deep red, with the exception of the head and fins, which become dull white or lead- en color. In this stage the fish closely resemble the appearance of certain kinds of goldfish in a pond. At a later stage, when scared and worn, the fish present a miserable spectacle as they struggle feebly about in the shallow waters of the rivers and lakes. there to fall an easy prey to the bears and eagles. which collect from miles around to feed on them in the fall of the year.
 The silver salmon. or coho (Oneorhyn- chus kisutchl. is another species which is used extensively for canning pur- poses, although. owing to the light pink color of its flesh. 1t does not command such a good price on the market as either the king or the red salmon. The coho. when packed in tins. is generally labeled and known to the public as medium red" The average weight Of this fish is about eight pounds. although num- bers of them reach a weight of 90 pounds. They are found along the coasts of Alaska, British ColuEibia, Washington and Oregon. and can be caught in seines nets at any time of the year in the southern portions of their hsgnts. This salmon Is the latest of all the various species to run. and spawns in the fall of the year. It does not run as far mp the rivers as the two first named varieties. and will spawn any where in fresh water Its flesh. when freshly caught in the sea. is particularly good eating. and in the opinion Of many (amongst whom is the writerl is pref erable to that Of the rcd salmon. since 1t Is not so hard and dry as that of the latter specieE
