Calls for Beer from Bier.

Evansville. Ind.-Michael Hoetzel. an
aged German citizen. who lives on
West Michigan street with his two
sons, who conduct saloon, was taken
suddenly i'll, and fell over, apparently
dead.
The sons called in a physician. who
pronounced the old man dead. The
coroner and undertaken were sent for
and arrangements for the funeral were
begun.
AS the undertaken bent over the sup
posed corpse the old man arose I'D
from the bier and asked what was 60
ing on. He yawned, stretched out his
arms and said he would like to have a
glass of beer and bowl of soup. He is
in apparently good health to-day, and
bids fair to live many more years.

Floating Coast Defense.

The latest weapon of man is a float
ing fortress for coast defense purposes.
This fighting machine, which is called
the Cerberus, lacks in every line of
beauty. 1t is nothing more nor less
than perfectly round floating fort.

batteries of heavy guns far too large
to be mounted upon any ordinary
warship. The idea of the invention was
suggested by a small but strongly
fortified island. The new fighting ship
makes no pretense at attaining high
speed. On the other hand, it is main

out OF fine big place on the avenue
the other day on her way to school,
and we admired her crisp fresh clothes,
SO well fitted for the days demands.
She wore a gray-blue cotton frock,
belted blouse and pleated skirt; the
belt was white; her shoes and stock
lngs were of tan; her hat was Tuscan
braid trimmed with ribbon No fur
bellows, but all good style, of late fash
ion.
The princess petticoat for the small
girl is liked and appears in different
models; it may be gored from neck to
hem, it may be a long plain waist
sewed to a straight skirt, it may have
an added fiounce. The tendency is to-
wards clothes as little burdensome as
possible.
Especially is this noticeable in in
fants' garments. Three pieces are all
that there need be; a WOODEN knit band
with wide soft shoulder straps, next
this a one-piece princess petticoat of
soft flannel reaching from the neck to
something like IL inches below the
feet, with good big armholes pinked or
scalloped, and couple of buttons at
the back to fasten it; and now comes
the dress All the garments may be
placed on at once. the sleeves having
previously been fitted the one in the
other: Not much tucking is seen on the
latest dresses
Lingerie bonnets and coats are in
favor, fashions for wee ones following
those of the big ladies' And, most SEN
sible, it is now considered fashionable
to have all children's clothing tubbable,
coats as well as frocks Sleeves for
the frocks are either bishop or else
short puffs, elbow sleeves as popular
for baby as for mother.
Some charming washable things are
worth description, may offer sugges-
ton to the home dressmaker A long
coat for two-year-old was of white
linen embroidered in blue bachelors
buttons; the cap worn with this was a
very small one, but tied with stun
ming large bow of blue silk; the coat
collar was long military cape, with
scalloped edge and punches of the flow
ers here and there. Another long coat
for child little older than this one
was made of linen duck, plain save for
double capes finished with eyelet EN-,
broidery.

1t is said that no citizen of Galveston

Whatever it was that worked such
ruin. the residents as well as outsiders
found hard to explain, many asserted

called it tornado; the weather bureau

When the hurricane reached it's height
In Galveston the wind was blowing with
an estimated velocity of 120 miles an
hour; 'at this tremendous velocity the
wind simply picked up the waters of the
Gulf OF Mexico and hurled them over the
island city, dealing out death and de-
st<uction until its mighty force had
been spent"
Galveston, you remember. was built
on island, strip 80 miles long and
from one to three miles wide. At no
place was Galveston island more than II
feet above the sea at food tide. The
city was located at the east end, where
swift currents between island and main
land made a fine deep water harbor. Sit
uated as it was at the gateway Of the
southwest, it was very important com

People of Galveston built their houses

for the strip of land is but a strip of
sand. The man that led the first Ameri-
can colony into Texas, Stephen F. Aus
tin, of Virginia, said, as he surveyed the
coast along Galveston bay and saw
stranded schooner that had been carried
far inland: Some day the elements
which did that will sweep over this coast
again." Munsey, in which this story is
told, remarks: 1.-THE prophecy made 40
years ago has since come true more
than once. Galveston has been under
water several times; but her people have
simply waited for the waves to roll by.
Repeatedly threatened, but never de-
stroyed. they came to feel that as they
had survived many storms. there could
be no tempest terrible enough to over
whelm them. They stayed on their strip
of land and waxed rich"

&AA ME we liked TO advertise
A/T,N the fact that we were bound
HNINH on an outing; the girl that
MSEM sailed on the water had
wv anchors embroidered on her
sleeve; the girl that rode
wheel wore much abbreviated skirt,
and when the automobile appeared, the
lady that motored-moted, moultered,
what dye-call-it-dressed in manner
to make conspicuous her particular
pleasure. But now, perhaps because
outdoor life is an established fact. no
longer such novelty is attempted, the
dressing is more quiet. One notices it
particularly in automobile costuming.
Of course the leather characterizing
the wardrobe of many autoists differs
decidedly from ordinary fabrics, but
not all make use of the leather. One
sees in the parks, and on the country
roads many autoists whose dress is
very like the usual travelling dress. and
one that speeds this summer may feel
herself appropriately attired in trim
tailored suit. The checks are especial
ly good, the materials and colors stand
much use and exposure. The small hats
of the season also are suitable, but
brim is needed to protect from glare.
One very pretty checked costume no
ticed was short skirt of black and
white wool worn with a silk waist of
the same combination and a short sack
coat. The three pieces had pipings of
red
By the way, in spite of Partisan pro-
test, short skirts continues very smart
for general wear. As the season pro-
crosses. one sees more and more of
them, and they seem to have added
style to recommend them. The best
have short coats or boleros, long coat
very rarely looks well with an ankle
length skirt
To turn to piazza frocks and those
for wear in the house. Our illustra-
ton pictures simple and smart waist
of gray-blue pongee, with little trim
ming of lace and insertion. Two deep
tucks at the shoulders give the desired
fulness. the sleeve is full to the elbow,
where it is met by a deep cuff, which
must be carefully fitted to give the
proper set. Frills finish sleeves at the
wrist now, it being the day of dainti-
ness and lingerie softness
White linen suits and colored linen
suits are numerous. seen oftener in the
form of jacket and skirt than in the
shirt waist popular for two years back
To wear with the white costume are
charming black and white hats and
white wells. The gloves should be
white and cool looking, the shoes may
be either white or black. The belt
may be of white kid or linen: for the
palmer frocks ribbon is not SO good

Magnetic Survey of the Pacific.

Owing to the rapid development of
commerce in the Pacific ocean, great
Importance attaches to the magnetic
survey of the northern part of that
immense sea which is to be begun this
year under the auspices of the Car
negie Institution. With the exception
of what was learned during the ia
nous voyage of the Challenger, the
North Pacific ocean is nearly a blank
with regard to magnetic observations.
The state of knowledge concerning the
distribution of magnetic forces over
the greater portion of the earth is ad-
mittedly very unsatisfactory, on ac-
count of the lack of precise data from
the oceanic areas. Prof. Arthur Schus-
ter says that he believes no material
progress in terrestrial magnetism Is
possible until the magnetic constants
of the great ocean basins, especially
the Pacific, have been more accurate
ly determined. The requisite knowI-
edge cannot be acquired from islands

played and the people surrounded the
burning embers.
The people believe the Nistinares in
herit the power of walking unuscathed
over the fire, and that even they could
not enjoy the privilege except on the
occasion of this special celebration.
This rite has been celebrated from time
immemorial in this particular locality
and attracts large number of visitors.
A strange procession was seen in the
town of Cucullo, near Aquila, when
the statue of ST. Dominic was carried
through the streets. Snake charmers
annually attend the festivities and it
is their duty while the procession is
moving to keep near the statue and
throw handfuls of live snakes on it.
The painter Michetti illustrated the
scene in a painting which was exhib-
tied in Paris some years ago. He rep
resented the statue covered by mass
of green snakes like a statue of Me-
dusa.
When the snakes fall to the ground
there is a rush on the part of the
charmers to gather them up and throw
them on the statue again. The inhabi-
tants believe the possession of one of
the snakes which has been coiled
around the statue insures them against
snake bites for the rest of the year,
and many are the professionals who
go from town to town exhibiting the
snakes caught during the celebration,
using them for incantations

cottages were swept away; the water
rose high in mansion and hotel. Now
the wreckage was swept with disastrous
force against the buildings; wind, wave,
debris got in their work. In three hours
more the deaths rose to thousands; the
town was destroyed
The story of the horrors and tragedies
are most heartrending, but most inspir-
ing the story of the way Galveston met
her sad emergency. Leaders came to the
fore soon as the survivors could awake
from their dazed condition; martial law
was proclaimed; the dead disposed of
in miraculously short time, the city
with indomitable courage trying to rise
from it's overthrow And wonderfully
has 1T regained its place. There is in our
history no tale of greater heroism, finer
spirit Of the way the people of Calves
ton faced the awful conditions in their
town, the manner in which they builded

Concerning the early history, Calves

governor of Louisiana, by Spanish ex-
ploring party, and the pirate LATTE be-
came governor Of the island when it was
