Although 1t is early TO talk Of furs,
still the styles are distinctly outlined
by this time Furs will be worn in the
shape of coats, as usual But the most
sensational tidings of the season will
be found in the fur trimmings. These
are varied and beautiful, and fancy
has run quite riot in the planning of
the fur modes.
One of the prettiest of fur trim
mings is the fur .rosette, which will be
worn great deal this year. This is
made by setting handsome jeweled
button In the middle of piece of fine
velvet. Around the button there is
sewed a border of fur which is car
ried round and round until 1t makes
big. handsome fur rosette This ro-
settle is used to fasten the belt or to
make trimming upon the bust or the
stock. There are many ways in which
1t can be employed in different sizes,
big and little.

Puzzle for Scientists to Worry Over

but at point so feet from the sur
face brought up against the east wall
of the shaft.
The same would be the case were a
man to fall into the shaft. While it
would mean sure death, the body,
badly torn, would be found lodged in
the timbering on the east side. Mem
bers of the faculty of the College Of
Mines are now engaged in expert
ments with a view of developing data
as to the thickness of the earth's
crust. It is not hoped to solve the
perplexing problem of the distribution
of the earth's matter, but it is hoped
to add to the information collected
concerning it.
To this end the Red Jacket shaft
presents advantages possessed by no
other place in the universe. The
deep shafts in other parts of the coun-
try and in foreign lands generally be-
gan at an altitude and end above or
very little below the sea level. where
as at the Calumet mine the Red jack
ct shaft starts in comparatively low
altitude and pierces the earth's crust
deeper and further below the ocean
level than any other in existence. 1t
is hoped within year to be able to
give some intelligent information re-
garding the nvestigations.-Lak Lin

Articles Dropped In Calumet
Mine Shaft Always Found
Clinging to East Side-InVest-
isation Going On.

1t is an interesting scientific fact,
and one not generally known, that
nothing that falls from the mouth of
the deepest mining shaft in the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated at the famous Red
Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet. The
article, no matter what shape or size
it may be, is invariably found clinging
to the east side of the shaft.
One day a monkey wrench was
dropped, but it did not get to the
bottom. 1t was found lodged against
the east side of the shaft several hun
dred feet down. This incident COM
ing to the attention of the Michigan
College of Mines, it was decided to
make careful test of the apparent
phenomenon. 1t was decided best to
use a small but heavy spherical body,
and marble, tied to a thread was
suspended about twelve feet below
the mouth of the shaft. When the
marble was absolutely still, assuring
that 1t would drop straight down, the
thread was burned through by the
hame OF a candle. The marble fell.

coming winter and this is good news
for the woman who likes to wear a

made OF velvet, which is gathered and
boned and made to fit the waist line.
The deeper the girdle the better, pro-
