followed each other in succession, their
combined depth being more than twenty

A head rise is caused by a heavy rain

II will be sad day that sees the last
OF the plug hat, TO be sure, its use is
growing more limited as men become holder
in throwing OF the shackles OF sartorial
convention. The plug hat is a decidedly
uncomfortable article Of wear. But it is
picturesque. Who is there but can remem-
Der with affection some old childhood
character whose Distinguishing mark was
a battered plug hat that had survived the
shocks and the wrecks OF half a hundred
seasons? The plug hat is associated with
the village doctor, the lean and sallow
minister and the local undertaken Per-
haps the school teacher had one too. and
IL is certain that We can recall distinctly
the day that father was elected to the leg
islature and was presented with a hat by
his admiring friends. And there was the
county attorney who wore a plug hat with
a sack suit and tan shoes As youngsters
We didn't know very much about the art
OF dressing. but we remember thar our

The German government has taken pos
session OF short strip Of track near Ber-
lin and is planning TO execute a unique
series of railroad accidents" made to
order, Every variety of misplaced switch
will be tested, every possible defect In
wheels aXles and car equipment will be
tried out and the grand finale is to be an
immense, head-on collision OF locomotives
These spectacular exhibitions are not
planned by the government as a national
amusement. They are for the purpose OF
scientific experiment, so that the engineers
and railway experts may study ways and
means to prevent accidents Of all kinds in
the future
Railroad disasters have occurred with
alarming frequency in the German empire
IL is estimated that the German railways
lose tl,260.0OO annually through damages

From our. earliest infancy We are in
grained with vsneration for the plug hat.
This shiny cylinder has ever been the
badge OF erudiuon. the livery of dignity,
the imperious insignia Of learning. The
world owes a tremendous debt to the pa
triarehal beard, but 1t is doubtful IL our
obligations to whiskerS equal what we
owe to the plug hat We are told that the
tall hat was invented by the Spanish In
QUESTION as an INSTRUMENT OF torture, and
that later II was worn to designate the
learned from the unlettefed.
With the origin OF the plug hat, how
ever. we have nothing TO do. The fact that
this Institution Is doomed to extinction is
cause for regret. A French scientist with
nothing more to do has discovered that the
high hat is a Veritable furnace and an
awful germ culture. He experimental and
found that when the Thermometer was n
