Waeers on she War.

Some extraordinary bets have been
made on the Japanese-Russian war. A
number OF Japanese officers have bet
that they would be killed in battle. The
money was to go to their widows. One

the following wager: II he were killed
within month his heirs were to re-
ceive $500. After that date he was to
pay his opponent 10 yet $3.50 day un-
TIL he had survived 100 days, after
which the bet was to cease. He under
took to expose himself to danger only
when military conditions demanded
1t; in other words. he was not willfully
to let himself be killed.
In a moment of excitement Iona
kin, Moscow merchant. undertook
to "eat his boots" IL Japan were not
.crced to sue for peace by July last
Against this the opponent bet 500
rubles. Lomakin ate the boots. But
as no time limit was imposed. he cut
off and swallowed only a tiny strip
each day, completing the achievement
on Nov. 20. His opponent absolved
him from eating the nails.
A captive japanese officer imprison-
ed at Omsk. in Siberia, bet the Russian
officer in charge OF the prisoners a

Arthur held out after June 1. He

The Russian asked for a payment on
account and offered to terminate the
bet. The japanese said nothing, re-

ORIGIN OF STYLES IN coAra
cutaway Froek and Sack From Eight
zenith Century-6Iaek Dress Coat.

Getaway Froek and Sack From Eight
zenith century-elaek Dress Coat.
The modern cutaway sprang from
the body-fittins justaucorps OF the
French as known to the courtiers OF
Louis XIV. and Louis XIV and the gar.
ment was in turn probably evolved
from the frock or tunic, worn in the
fourteenth century.
The first trace Of q cutaway in any.
thing like its present form. says the
Sartorial Art Journal. Is seen in old
prints OF French military uniforms,
early In the eighteenth century. For
civilian use 1t was worn In England
about 17S5 as riding coat. the tails
being very long. In 1893 1t was adopt
ed in France for walking as well as
for riding and was then in shape and
cut much nearer the modern cutaway
than any Of its predecessors. though
1t WIS usually double-breasted.
Early in the nineteenth century the
cutaway had eight or nine buttons,
only the fourth. fifth and sixth being
used. This admitted OF the wearer
showing his neckcloth. fancy waist
coat and fr,lled shirt to the hest adj
vantage. Not till 1910. or thereabout.
did the cutaway become almost identi-
cal with the modern garment and
since then the changes in its shape
have been comparatively slight. In
1S41 the word "cutaway" became a fix-
ture in the language.
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington. with its flaps buttoned
back; the coat worn by Nelson at the
battles OF st. Vincent. the Nile and
Trafalgar. and the coat worn bv Ma
poleon when on his way to ST. He
lena. were all in general way SINH
lar to the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat of our
time is refined younger brother, SO
to speak, Of the cutaway frock. and
for it We are indebted to the French,
who on the other hand. credit the
English with originating the Goa. that
has evolved into orr double breasted
frock. The coat last named was in
troduced into France by Montesquieu
in the year 1850.
Incidentally. We may add. the pres
ent black dress coat has. by the Eng
lish speaking nations, been restricted
to evening wear little more than half
a century. In some Continental coun-
tries the dress coat is proper FORM
for wear at court or other important
formal assemblages held in the day
time.
The sack coat probably dates from
the "Macaronies." who introduced 1t
into England in 1!72. though a gar
ment somewhat similar Was worn by
the "Round-heads" Of Cromwell's day.

In this city last week a 4S-inch
water main burst in one of the great
thoroughfares, and a four-foot stream
OF water gushed for four hours and a
half, flooding the subway and impris-
oning thousands of people there.
while great system of transportation
was tied up for more than "a hours.
The almost incredible feature of
the accident was that no official OF
the water department could be found
who knew the situation of the gate
that had to be closed to stop the
flow OF water. II appears also that
the broken main was 30 or 40 years
old. and that when the subway was
built attention was called 10 the ne
cessity for providing new pipes.
This accident furnishes a striking
illustration OF the truth that eternal
vigilance is the price OF safety and
efficiency.
