of the fingers under the mounts. (See
map)
The Line of Heart may end either on the
Mount of Jupiter or reaching up into the root
Of the first finger, or between the first and
middle finger, or on the Mount of Saturn.
Ancient writers on palmstry and many mod
ern authorities place the beginning where re-
fer to it as its ending. In my practical pro-
fessional experience / have proven that this
line has its beginning under the Mount OF Mer-
curry of the little finger. So let us study the
line as having its beginning at that point
The line. like the others of the hand in order
to be perfect must be deep, clear and well
coored and free from any breaks and irregulari-
ties
THE HIGHEST TYPE OF LOVE
When it ends on the Mount of Jupiter Gig.
y it indicates the highest type of love- The
owner may be hard to suit, but he or she is
sure to overlook the faults of the one they
love. The owner Of this formation seldom mar
ries beneath his station; he does not fall in love
often, but when he does it is for keeps.
When this end goes clear into the root of the
finger Zig q an excess of all the foregoing char
acteristics is revealed. Consequently it gives
quantity of affection that may bring much
sorrow to the owner. This is the marking found
in the hands Of those who have been dsappoint-
ed or Tilted by their ideals, and who will tell you
that they can never love again and often choose
a life of celibacy for their remaining days. An
other formation which is equally bad Zig. 81
is when the line crosses clear from side to side.
This denotes a disposition where the love ma
ture is excessive and brings much suffering to
the subject, as it shows jealous nature, often
criminally So
When the line ends between the first and Sec
ond finger Gig A. it gives calmer nature in
matters of love, the person is not very demon
strative, but sincere at heart, however, giving
one the appearance of being otherwise, as he
wife and is liberal in his views, thus causing
his wife to misundertand him, due to his love
for Joking and teasing So the "green-eyed mon
ster" often appears without just cause.
When the line ends on Saturn, under the
second finger Gig 81, that is without fork,
passion and sensuality take the place of true
affection People with this formation gen
orally very selfish, as the two seem to go hand in
hand.

lettuce leaves on the table.

A girl in town who recently complained that her
letter paper of finest quality from New York
jeweer of note showed the writing through the
envelope did not know that the latest notion is
to put within the envelope a second colored one.
These Innings are of red, or soft shade of
turquoise blue or of velvet, and show through
the paper just enough to hint at the color inside

There's no color about the paper itself It is
only the envelope which needs to be made
Opaque and these color Innings accomplish the
purpose most successfully.
The quaintest thing about some of them is
the way the inner envelope slips in and out of
place. while Others have the lining made up with
the outside, the color, perhaps showing like

has been decided by the management of the
telephone company to install these instruments
throughout the city. In short time these de
vices will be almost as common on the streets Of
Buffalo as letter boxes.
The street corner telephone has the appearance
Of the fire alarm box which is so familiar to all.
In some instances it is mounted on post in
the same manner as the letter box Indeed. it
is designed to secure the sanction of the Post
offee authorities to mount them on the same
pedestal as the letter box, as to avoid planting
so many OF these columns on corners and where

operated in much the same manner as the reell-

THRILLING EXPERIENCES OF

Huge Steel Tank Being Towed to Phil

Seas and Drifts Helpless for
Many Days.

When the voyage of the drydock

adventures across the Atlantic, through

down through the Red sea and the In
dian ocean. will be one of the most ill.,
teresting and thrilling ever read. That
is, II the latter part OF the journey is as
exciting as has been the trip to the
Canary islands, a point reached only
after a fight against wind and wave and
storm Of nearly two months.
No one. not even the personnel of the
towing feet. anticipated the unusual
length Of the voyage across the Atlantic.
Even the northeast trade wind seemed
to have come further northward than
usual At this time Of the year TO make
the voyage more Of a struggle. Trials
the towing ships and drydock have had

heavy rains and rough seas: nights
when towlines parted or had to be let

wind and darkness made the task Of
handling the large and unwieldy
hawssrs arduous. Yet not one OF the Of
ficers or crew OF the towing feet or dry
dock doubts that they will bring the dock
safely to her destination.
The most trying experience came
when the dock broke from her tows and
for three days drifted to the northwest.

of the trip after leaving Chesapeake bay
there had been gales that had made
progress slow. Then pleasant weather

the signal: "Hawser carried away"
Followed a few miutes later by the mes
sage: Towing machine total wreck
Wire hawser went by board and carried
away, leaving about 40 feet on drum of

Just how the men on board the dry
dock must have felt as they realized
that they were drifting helplessly on the
raging pillows of the Atlantic it would
be hard to imagine. For three days
there was nothing to do but listen to the
pounding of the waves and wait until
weather conditions were such that new
line could be connected up. This was
accomplished with the aid of the Po-
tomac, another of the boats of the fiotil-
la, and lifeboat from the Glacier, and
the Brutus swung to the east again with
her charge. All went well until mid
night Of the following day, when the
line parted again, and the dock began to
drift to the southeast, the wind having
shifted.
Our map shows by the broken lines the
wide dstour which was made in the two
drifts. One of the singular things in
connection with the experience was that
the dock when she was finally taken In
tow for the second time was only 80
miles from the point where she had first
started adrift.
One of the interesting features of the
expedition was the successful use OF
wireless telegraphy. Communication by
this method was sustained with the
United States for a distance of more
than 1,400 miles, distance seldom If
ever equaled where no extra installment
was made for special trial.
The last messages received on board
the Glacier direct from the United
States came from the station at Cape
Hatteras on January Is, when the
Glacier was over 1,400 miles distant.
The message came clear and distinct to
| the operator, Mr.. Merritt, and was as
follows: "You came in very loud to-
night. Has been cold with alternate
