poMpapouRs BACK AGAIN.

The pompadour is not to be forced
out. 1t is becoming to almost every
woman and softens the most rugged
face. But fashion is one of her

pompadour must come down and WON

middle, look flat.headed and hat them
selves. Men made remarks about the
sudden dearth OF pretty women, when
the pretty women were merely dis
guised under their flattened hair. A
few tried to take away the meek
effect by rolling and waving their hait
at the sides, but still some of them
looked like little old grannies.
But the mil'iners took firm stand.
They found that the most stunning hat
looked dowdy with no fluffy mass OF
hair beneath it, and that their most
elaborate creations were wasted on
fiat coiffures. So they took the mat
ter into their own hands and this
fall began to make pompadour hats.
To surprised inquiries they have re-
piled: mo, you are very must mis-
taken. Not only has the pompadom
not gone out, but it is to be fiuffier and
higher than ever. Put up your hair,
madam, if you wish to be in style
But they do not confess that they are
making the style themselves. So
gradually hair is rising again until by
the middle of next winter the pompa
dour will again reign.

GREAT HORSE MARKET.
Kansas City the Distributing Point
for Western Pastures.

Lesle's Weekly-It is at Kansas
City, one of the liveliest events Of
that lively town, the greatest horse
market in the west, because it drains
the horse-raising states.
THE west produces the horses for
the nation nowadays explained the
manager of the big horse sales barns.
Kansas, Iowa, southern Nebraska,
parts of Missouri furnish the horses
for shipment east 1t takes pasture
land to raise horses, and the west
can't afford to use its land that way"
So they come pouring into Kansas
City, Chicago and st. Louis, but the
first stopping place is nearest the
farms. The buyer in the little town
cannot afford TO go to New York with
single carload of horses; he sells to
buyers who take on a dozen cars at a
time. They are the purchasers at
the sales, each seeking bunch" TO
suit his needs and ideas. Every Mon
day morning the horsemen gather for
the auction-sturdy, round-faced city
jewellers, rough-and-ready ranchmen,
carelessly CARRIED farmers. It is n
typical western crowd, each keenly
seeking bargain and determined TO
get it.
You would scarcely know the
horses. They came in from the coun-
try station uncurried, ragged. They
have been stabbed, combed, names and
tails braided and tied, every one, with
red and blue ribbons. The ribbons
cost 25 cents and the stabling 81; if
the fetlocks need trimming it costs %
cents more. Before going into the
sale ring there is stuck on Inc left hip
of every horse a number card, like
piece of fly paper, SKI inches, with
figures in large size. This number
remains until the animal leaves the
barn. When it is sold a tag will be
fastened in the braided tail; on it will
be the name and address of seller
and buyer, price, etc. The salesroom
might be taken for a prizefight ring.
with its open space and the tiers of
blue seats rising from the ground.

auctioneer for ten years, and has sold
more horses than any other man in
the country. takes his place beside

play an important part IN the pro
ccadings.

PARIS in THE HEART OF LONDON.
Permanent Exhibit of French Wares,
With a Theater Annex.

Washington Post.-There may be.
after all, a Paris in London" in the
shape of a building on the Holborn 70
Strand improvement, but TO please
the county council the proposals of the
promoters have been greatly modified.
One of the most attractive features
the roof gardel--is cut out entirely,
as the council sternly opposed t.
The scheme is still extensive, how
ever, and the plans promise to give
both TO the Strand ana Aldwych a
block of nobly designed buildings.
The intention of the promoters, Mr..
.GIlbee Sect stated, was not to make
the place purely one OF amusement.
The chief idea was to produce q per
manent French exhibition in the hear.
of London, where the manufactures OF
our friends across the channel might
be shown 1t would be a convenient
rendezvous for the French colony,
which is now large one, and for
French visitors. who come to London
in yearly increasing numbers.
With this in view, a French theater
lis to be provided. and a high-class
restaurant The site is the isiana
now only used for temporary struc
lures and covers three acres. A great
central building will include the ev
hibition halls, the theater ana the
restaurant. A large dome will close
in the street as seen from the Holborn
end.
The remainder of the site to the
boundary Is to be occupied by shop
areades with imposing arehed en-,
frances, and the center from the
strand will be open, save for triple
archway embellished vita sculpture
and fianked by smaller .-rchways.
The syndicate proposes to spend
s., 900 900, and as the council will be
the ground landlords they can make
their own stipulations about the con
duct of the business carried on. The
scheme has the support OF the French
official world in London,

Future of the Gas Engine
Principle Upon Which 1t Works


gas engine. The consumption of coal
in gas engine amounts to from one
10 two or more pounds per morse
power per hour, and when it is real
ICED that the same amount of power
generated by steam requires from 3
to 5la pounds of coal, the superior
economy of the gas engine is appar-
ent. Herr Capitaine has constructed
a launch equipped with 25-horse-
power gas engine, which is about SO
feet in length. with seven feet beam.
while vessel Tor steam engines of
similar power would be at least IS feet
in length and of II feet beam The
steamboat consequently would have
nearly four times the displacement
and much greater resistance.
As the gas engines are at present
designed and constructed, It is
thought that 1000 horsepower is the
limit for the satisfactory working of :
marine gas motor. British engine
builders have undertaken the con
struction Of four-cylinder marine en-
gines of 600 horsepower and six-cylin-
der marine engines of 900 horse-pow-
er, so that within short time prac-
teal demonstration of tht efficiency
and merits Of the gas-propei,Gd vessel
may be had. In the meantime Herr
| Capitaine has branched out along a
new line and has prepared plans for q
marine engine from 2Q00 to $500
horse power, Instead of using the
| pressure Of the atmosphere for the
return stroke Of the piston, he EN-
! ploys air compressed TO three atmos
pheres. and this is used also 10 com
press the explosive mixture Of gas
and air before ignition
The engine presents a number OF
,Nmplex features which have been
worked out Systematically, and it is
asserted that in a steamer equipped
with gas engines OF 10000 horse
power, which is approximately the
! power of the engines of the St Paul
the economy over the best turbine OF
reciprocating engines would be 50 pei
cent or an annual saving in the cost
| Of fuel il under steam for $500 hours
a year, Of $4,000. not to mention the
expenses and delays incidental tC
more frequent coallng, cost of oper
alton, etc. In the case of an engine
of 10000 horsepower it was computed
that with the saving in the initia
cost, wnich is not inconsiderable, tn,
saving incidental to the operation o
a gas engine would amount In thu
first year to more than 100000, or Il
per cent Of the cost of the vessel
While the gas engine for marine puT
/ poses is still in the experimental
stage. yet from theoretical discus
sions and preliminary trials it seem
to promise great results and it i
hardly unreasonable to expect tina

A total output of ,22,500,000 tons OF

the United States. For the first six
months of 1905 the output was IL
163.175 tons. The total for the yea
will be five times greater than the
total output in 1885. The blast fur
naces of the country are overtaxed to
supply orders and the rolling mills

utmost capacity The index of
business conditions is the demand for
pig iron. When times are prosper

WHO KNOWS?

When the zemstYos came to Nicly
A week or so ago,
They asked for some concessions
To help Liberty to grow;
Such as freedom of the conscie..e zee,
And of meetings, and OF press;
And they punched them all together
In an eloquent address.
And then another statement
In postscript they did stick,
Asking for the abolition
OF he zemsky natchalnik.
Now Nicholas is foxy
although he's called the bear),
And he promised in the ruling
OF the country, they might share.
And he gave them all the glad hand,
And he passed around cigars.
And he said, With your assistance,
We shall end these horIid wars"
But to look upon their paper
Made the monarch deathly sick,
When he saw they'd asked the dishing
OF the zemslly natchalnik.
Now all of these concessions
May be very slow TO come,
And they say of Slipp'ry Nicky
That his fate is on the bomb,
So the nations sit in terror
Lest the car be snatchel away
Befoi they learn the wherefore
OF the scrap that's on today.
So ere tn, fuse be lighted,
win not some one tell us, quick,
What's this bone of great contention,
What's z1msky natchalnik2.
