SELLING FURS IN SUMNER.
Always More or Less Demand for
Ahem at This Season-Who the
Buyers of the Garments Are.

The furs displayed in the show
window of the fur establishment
were certainly handsome enough,
out when all the people walking
past in the street are attired III
summer garb and wearing straw
hats, they seemed, if not out Of
place, at least superfiuous, for it
didn't seem that anybody could
want to buy furs in July, says the
New York Sun. But it seems that
there are people who do, and there
are always more or less furs sold
in summer.
"We sell fur-lined clOaks in sum.
mer," the salesman said, ''to tray.
elers, for steamer and other use in
travelling, and the clOaks thus
bought purchasers use for car.
riage cloaks on their return.
"We sell in summer furs of vari,
Gus kinds for regular winter use to
purchasers from various parts of
the country visiting New York, or
passing through the city in travel
ing. New York sells furs not only
to its own people, but to people all
over the country, who come here
for fine furs just as they do for the
finest of everything else designed
for use or luxury, and so visitors
or travellers here in summer buy
at that season while they are here
fine furs just as they would buy
fine jewelry or fine clothes.
"And besides such garments as
fur-lined cloaks for travelling use,
we sell also to city customers in
summer furs for winter use. Such
customers may be going abroad or
to their country homes. and they
buy furs now and have them ready
when they want them on their re-
turn to the city.
eff they are going to Europe
they buy them here because here
they can more conveniently be fit
ted, and here more conveniently
for them any changes or altera-
tiOns can be made. And in sum.
mer. when we receive our stock of
skins. we have customers who
come in not to buy garments but to
inspect our stock of skins and to
select from them the skins from
which they desire their garments
to be made.

while wint0: is, to be sure. the

"Of course, summer is the great
season for work on fur garments
in the way of alterations and re
pairs, all through the summer, and
whatever the weather. you will
find. in furriers' wOrkrOOms. men
and women busily engaged at this
work; but we also sell furs at this
season. We are liable on any day.
though the thermometer might

LOST CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
These People Look for End of the
World in 1916-Meetings
Largely Attended.

The end of the world is definite
J predicted by set of Israelites
who are actively preparing for the
catastrophe. a party of these be-.
levers passed through New York
recently on their way from Aus
tralia to Michigan, where they
will await the end. Incidentally,
the catastrophe is expected in
1916.
The sect calls itself the "Lost
Children of Israel" Most of the
members of the tribe are wealthy
They are all strict vegetarians.
and eat nothing except what they
grow themselves. On the trip over
on the Princess Irene they lived on
the food they had brought with
them, and none of them ate any
thing served to them by the ships
steward.
The first leader of the tribe was
Johann Southcott, who held the
position in 1892. The others who
have been leaders are Richard
Brother, Peter Shaw, George Tur-
ner, James JeZrill and the present
king and queen ofthe tribes, Ben
jamin and Mary Purnell, who ex-
pect to ride in the golden chariot
into Heaven when the time comes.
The money of every member is put
into one common purse, and this
purse is placed in the hands of the
leader, who disburses it.
The original members of the
sect started from Benton Harbor,
Mich, in November, 1903, ostensi
bly, to circumnavigate the globe.
They journeyed by way of Van
couver, B. c., where they set sail
for the orient. After stopping at
Honolulu for a short time they
continued on to Melbourne, Aus
tralia.
At Melbourne their meetings
were largely attended, according
to Edmund Burley, one of their
leaders. They held many overflow
ing meetings at the time elijah"
DOwie was driven out of the same
town and compelled to- leave the
country.
After establishing a colony at
Singleton, Australia, their con-
verts greatly increased. Many
australians volunteered to go
with them around the world.
Their number was supplemented
in England, where they conducted
meetings. The appearance of the
members of the tribe is calculated
10 attract attention. The men
wear their hair long. hanging
rs low as their waists. This. they
declared. was in accordance with
The teachings of Moses. but the
specific reason for their long hair,
they said. was that they were
Walking in the footsteps Of Christ,
1hOse hair was never shOrn. The
dress of the men is fantastic, to
say the least. High felt hats of
The style worn a century ago are
worn by all. Long frock coats Of
good material and we'll fitting
loose trousers of like material and
stout shoes complete their attire.
The ''lOst trib" arrives at its con.
rlusion that the world will come
TO an end by 1916 by reasoning
hat as there were 1000 years be,
tween Adam and Noah and 1000
years between the time of Christ
and the present time, 1916 will
complete the cycle.

sumo that his father and grandfather
were muledrivers before him. So long
as he can find employment for the
mule which he drives over a wretched
road, he and his family will never
be in want; but if the road be improv-
ed his mule might be supplanted by
cart, and he would be out Of employ
ment. No other kind of work would
be available for him, and consequently
there would be no recourse for him

tire social order in China is so fixed
and permanent that there are never
new avenues of opportunity or en-

upsetting of the economic conditions
of an entire community, and the ad-
vent of the railroad would be calam-

,iition Is exactly what we should expect,
II we remember. that In the beginning.
the earth was a fluid md incandescent
body like the mass from which 1t was
tletachetl, and III consequence Of it's rapid
rotation on its axis took the form OF
a spheroid, ora sphere, slightly nattened
at the poles and enlarged at the equator.
While tho formative process was going
on, the earth was continually giving off
Its heat by radiation$ilnto the atmos-
phere and gradually cooling, the surface
finally became soltdf1ed Eand aformingsfn
crust. 1t Is onft this .lcrust that we lives
so that what we + see aand caf the solid
earth Is really nothing more than an.
envelope surroundings molten mass In
the center, this mass being composed
mostly of metallic substances in which
iron FREEDOM mates. AS a result of Its
confinement By the outer crust and the
intense heat within there is an enormous
pressure eNerted Mt all times, and while
1T is impossible to state exactly what
this pressure Is. lit Is is estimated to be.
millions of atmospheres. This Is no Idle
theory or a dream J, but Is he exact con-
ldition as existing and has been 3 proven,
by numerous experiment ssY which have
been made. !5ss IN e Z Z:
For example: Temperatures have been
recorded in very deep Shafts of mines
and these records show that n a very
regular rise OF temperature occurs Y as
one descends IN these shafts, and from,
numerous records which have been made
it is found for every one hundred feet,
of descent, there is a rise of one degree.
