Minute Animal Life.

'sThe microscope teaches u.s." says a
scientist, that there are animals SO
wonderfully minute that If thousand
Of them We're ranked abreast they
could easily swim, without being
thrown out Of order, through the eye
of the finest cambria needle ever made.
Yet each of the minute creatures is a
highly organized number of particles,
capable Of moving about, Of finding
and devourlng food and OF behaving In
all respects as becomes an animal as
distinguished from fragment Of un-
organized matter" The human mind
Is utterly incapable of realizing the
structure of these little creatures and
OF fully approaching their marvellous
adaptations to the life they are des-
tined to lead

The Awful Odor That Comes FROM
Pure Altar of Roses.
The perfumer took from his desk a
small flask Of copper.
'In TASKS like this altar of roses
comes to u.s." he said ALTAR of roses
is worth from $40 to $25 an ounce, ac-
cording to the market. This flask is
empty now, but in it little odor still

The visitor smiled delightedly. He
had never smelt pure altar of roses be-
fore. Now he unscrewed the stopper
and, closing his eyes, with an ecstatic
look he applied his nostrils to the flask.
But only for an instant. Then he
threw back his head twisting his
features into gr!mace Of disgust, and
he exclaimed:
Garbage! Bone yards! Glue fac
toriesw
The perfumer laughed,
"All essential oils smell like that" he
said. yet no good perfume can be
made without them
He took from a shelf cut glass Jar
filled with a thick, yellowish oil that
looked like petroleum partly refined
I'm this jar" he said, '.there are forty
ounces Of pure altar of roses worth
over $500. You know how the altar
smells alone. Now watch me make a
rich perfume by adding things to it,
He put few drops Of the altar into
vial. He filled the vial with spirits
Of musk, another Of orris, then one OF
neroli, one Of rose, of violet, of orange

and bergamot.

STYLES IN COATS.
Origin of the Getaway Frock, the
Sack md the Dress Coat.

Origin of the Getaway Frock, the
Sack and the Dress Coat.
The modern cutaway sprang from
the body fitting 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 cutaway in any
thing like it's present form, says the
6artorial Art Journal, Is seen In old
prints Of French military uniforms,
early in the eighteenth century. For
civilian use it was worn in England
about 1885 as a riding coat, the tails
being very long. In 1898 1t was adopt
ed in France for walking as we'll as for
riding and was then in shape and cut
much nearer the modern getaway than
any of its predecessors, though it was
usually doubt, 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 frilled shirt = the best ad-
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 1841 the
word GETAWAY" became a fixture 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 cont worn by Napo-
leon when on his way to st. Helena
were all In general way similar to
the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat Of our
time is a 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 Eng
lish with originating the coat that has
evolved into our double breasted frock.
The coat last named was introduced
into France by. Montesquieu in the
year 1850
Incidentally we may add, the pres
ent black dress coat has by the Eng
fish 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 it
into England in 1772, though gar,
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of Cromwell's day.

LIFE ON a WARsAlP.
why the Mon Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic sports.

Why th0 Mon Are Allowed to Indulge
In Athletic sports.
To zee thirteen inch gun loaded
and fired u sight not to be forgotten.
The projectile Is thirteen inches In
diameter, about three feet In length
and weighs LOO pounds. The powder
charge for target practice Is $50
pounds. The cost for each shot Is
about $500. When all is ready on the
range the signal siren sounds, there is
q binding fash, roar like thunder
and Earring shock. Then you hear
the whining screech of the shell, for
all the world like fast express round
Ing q sharp curve. The projectile Is
visible almost from the time 1t leaves
the gun. You see 1t rip through the
target and strike the water beyond,
throwing up column Of liquid many
feet high. The shell skips, much like
the fiat stone skipper" of our boy
hood, and again column of water
shoots up two miles or more farther
out, to be repeated time and again.
The shell in its flight can be watched
without the aid Of glasses for eight
miles or more in clear weather.
While the life of sailor. from cap
tain down to apprentice, is an almost
continual round Of work, some time Is
found for athletic sports, such as
boat racing, football and baseball The
object Of this Is to give the men rec
reation and at the same time to foster
the spirit ct competition. Besides, 1t
makes the men easier to manage. The
! ship with strong football or baseball
team or the fastest race boat almost
Invariably has happy and easily
managed crew--a crew that will swear
that its officers are the finest men In
the world, and likewise the officers
swear by such crew. Some ships
have training tables for their athletic
teams. the expense usually being de-
frayed by the officers. The team or
boat crew, as the case may be, Is
petted by the officers and idolized by
the crew, and for some time before @
hard contest the men are excused from
various duties In order that they may
give more time to training.
Every battleship and cruiser has Its
| race boat, purchased by contributions
from officers and men. The prices paid
for these boats Is, as rule, contingent
upon their winning certain specified
races. The builders are willing to take
a chance, knowing that the crew will dc
Its best to win. For winning boat the
| price is often as much as 81 GOO, while
for a boat that proves less speedy the
builder will accept $500 or less. On the
result OF feet boat race as much as
$4,000 has been known to change
hands, and large sums are also
wagered ON baseball and football
games. This Is, OF course, contrary to
the letter of the regulations; but the
sporting instinct is as strong in the
navy as elsewhere and 1t Is not always
possible to hold down the lid.-Leslle's

Ancient bridge superstition.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that bridge
was an offense and injury. to the river
god, as 1t saved people from being
drowned while fording or swimming
across and robbed the deity Of certain
number of victims which were his due.
For many centuries In Rome propitia-
tory offerings OF human victims were
made every year to the Tiber. Men
and women were drowned by being
bound and flung from the wooden Sub
lician bridge, which, till nearly the end
Of the republican period, was the one
and only bridge across the Tiber in
Hon1e.
