irish Lace Trims Lynx Sets.

Irish lace trims many of the new white
LYNX sets. On the mufr the lace is most at
tractiye. but it is not seen on many of the
round boas. White lynx gives an amazing
amount of wear If well taken care OF and
cisaned regularly before it becomes too
soiIed. SO that it is no more expensive than
any other sort OF fur.
The majority of collars are worn quite
long this year, especially the wide ones. for
nothing SO cuts the figure as short. wide
fur collar. The deep y-shaped stole with
narrow ends in front are smart. and then
in lynx there are seen many new shapes.

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
small Dassers of Light Sent Out by
 the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers of ani. mals there are none harder to explain than the power of being self.luminous. It Is sometimes termed phosphores- cence, but it is not now supposed to depend upon phosphorus in the ani. nal. A correspondent of Nature de scrlbes her experience with lumi- nous centpede which shows the evi- dent purpose of the luminous sub stance as means of defense. Atten- ton was first attracted by light of brilliant bluish-green that moved for ward over the gravel, leaving behind a trail of light, which. gradually sep arating, became a scattered mass of brilliant points. The scattered ponts proved to be red ants, which were pur- suing the centipede It had discharged this luminous liquid over them. The centipede was picked up and put in a tumbler where 1t flashed out mass of light. When the hand was placed over the tumbler to prevent the escape of the ca five, a strange prtckly sensation was felt as from a slight charge of electricity. The cen tipede would writhe the light out of it's body in bluegreen flashes until 1t had exhausted its luminosity and ceased to shine. Defense seems certainly to be one of the uses of this secretion.

Must Not Be Profaned.

Washington.-Antiseptic barber shops, pharmacies and patent medi- cine manufacturers throughout the United States will be compelled to cease using the red cross as a trade mark if the convention agreed uDon at the recent international Red Cross eonferenve in Geneva is lived up 10 ID every detail by the United States. This convention provides that each of Inc slgnatory countries shall do all in Us power to- bring about legislation preventing the use of the Red Cross insignia for any sort of commercial purpose It was suggested at the con Vention that such laws should be put into effect within five years. When the reineorporation of the National Red Cross was affected in 1905 the act passed by Congress provided that no persons or corporation not lawfully en- titled to use the sign of the cross at that time should thereafter be per mltted to use it for the purpose of trade or advertisement. The punish ment for the offense the act provides is fine of not less than s1 nor more than $500 OF imprisonment for not more than one year, or both fine and imprisonment. All fines So collected are to be paid to the American Ma tional Red Cross.
