come as they do in New York in midsummer,
and above all there are cool nights every
where.
Perhaps no country an the world possesses
80 many scenic marvels "a the Philippines;

attract tourists the world over. There il the
wonderful Taol volcano, rising from the
middle OF a lake; there are the vast Cordil-

The white waistcoat Of evening veal may
always be ornamented with tho colored
buttons that are so much worn now as a
feature of evening dress. They come in
every kind Of stone, and the semi-precious,
u as amethyst. turquoise. moonstone,
and even coral, are the most popular.
With a dinner coat worn the other night

Of silk and wool that made the waistcoat

~Turquoises Are a little ~infantile, and very

The dress waistcoat is only an unimpor-
tant phaseof the fancy waistooat craze. when
one takes into consideration the number Of
men tina wear a fancy waistcoat every
day. The waistcoat made for the suit
has almost fallen into disuse. 80 little is IL

The waistcoat that differs from the suit
is within the reach Of nearly all, owing to
the wide n Of it's prices; it is distinctly

to such a extent that coats are now cut
low enough TO show the waistcoar above
them.

add considerably to the cost Of a suit.
One tan cloth waistcost intended to go
with a brown worsted suit made by tailor on
Fifth avenue had a put ON change pocket
which was heavily embroidered in silk
braid. In addition there were elaborate
embroideries down the front.
Most of these colored waistcoats are
collarless. They have rarely more than
five buttons and as a rule three. the ends
are pointed and the pocket flap is regarded
as being Of so much more importance than
the pocket itself that there are frequently
flaps without any pockets. The best styles
have only n upper pocket in the waist
coat, and sometimes even that is missing,
the two pockets at the middle Of the waist
coat being intended to take the place OF
both upper and lower pockets.
Braid often finishes a perfectly plain
cloth waistcoat which is otherwise W without
ornament. 1t is considered Just as smart,
however, to have the edges Of the cloth
unfinished. Buttons may be made OF bone,
wood, mother OF pearl or even OF the ma
terial.
For everyday wear the waistcoat should
be to a certain extent sporty. There must
be no collar, the V must be cut low and the
pockets provided with heavy flaps. For a
somewhat more dressy w~aistcoat, to be
worn for instance with a morning or a cut
away coat which has been put on as a SUBJ
stitute for a frock, there are waistcoats in
white and mauve and very light cream
woollens which are finished with thin lines
Of braid.
OF the variety OF the fancy wsistcoat
there is no end.

considered to be the most frequent, giving
for each OF them the chances for the various

in such q way as not to spoil any combina-
ton already existing. This. refers TO the

occur that in order 10 keep only the con

In such a case the chances OF getting one
pair would be slightly different. namely. a
triie less. This is quite natural and ex-
planned by the simple consideration that by
destroying knowingly a chance in advance
there must be one less in the ina drawing.
1t is still to be said that the above calcula-
tons are based on a regular set OF ifty-two
cards, from two up to ace. II all OF the

MuItlplies AppslunsIy; Dies Out in I5Oth
Generation.

According to the London Morning Post
the param1cium is q very active, slipper
shaped and minute beast which multiplies
so rapidly that there is only one thing
which saves us poor human beings from
being crowded of the earth.
This one saving grace about the para
mecia is that they die out with the 10th
generation. 1t is pointed out hat II the
parampcia should have a run Of luck and
should succeed in reaching the 9ooth gen.
Grafton with everybody chat is, every
paramRcial body alive, the sun, moon
and stars would be crowded.
For if only $50 generations OF paramoscia
could be preserved they would be in bulk
bigger than this whole planet. and rs
they ven on multiplying the surface Of
the sphere would be growing outward at
the rate of miles a second.
In view Of such depressing possibilities
IL causes one some uneasiness to know that
English professors have been experiment
ing with the paramGcia, giving them
stimulants and tiding some OF them over
that critical 10th generation.
They tried various stinulants, but
achieved the best results with alcohol.
The paramecia were constantly immersed
in a liquid composed Of one part of spirit
to 5000 to 1900 parts Of water. The re-
suit was that the periods of depression
we're wiped out. The curve OF vitality
no longer showed the ominous recurrent
falls.
At the same time the rate OF growth and
division-that is to say. the physiological
activity-was increased by as much as 30
per cent. Something Of the same e fleet
was produced by s~trychnine. but tn ere
was a remarkable difference in the funda-
mental action OF the two drugs, for whereas
the beneficial effect Of alcohol endured
after the drug ceased to he administered,
that of strychnine did not.
Alcohol exacte ed no physiological usury,-
in spite OF the ~prodigiously increased rate
OF living. 1t was beneficial in its after
effects.

You will notice that Tin the first deal, getting

TO AVOID PREMATURE BURIAL.
Precautions nc weImar English Society
Takes IN Matter.

In England there is a society whose object
is to awaken public opinion on the subject
OF premature burial and to work for the
passage Of laws which will make premature
burial impossible.
Statistics have been prepared to show
that in Europe out Of every 500 supposed
deaths n person il resuscitsted. AL
though members OF the medical profession
refuse to take any interest in the matter il
is probably true. says Suggestion, that many
persons are buried while in a state OF sus-
pended animation.
II il stated that in the cemetery Just out
side the town OF Weimar there ia special
provision made against the danger OF pre-
mature burial from suspended animation.
No bodies are placed in the ground until
they have spent a considerable time in a
receiving vault.
In the fingers ~ the corpse are placed
strings which communicate with an alarm

In several instances bv this timely alarm

rescued. Il is said that the provision arose
from the tradition that one Of the princes
OF Saxe-Weimar, This being their family

soNE CABIN A n
A Treasure House sT Fessiis Discovered
by Accident.


A few years ago some men who were
| crossing the Bad Lands OF Wyoming
| CHANGED upon a little hut, once the home
OF a sheep herder, but long since ADAM
doned.
One OF the party, says AppIeton's EdSd-
| zine. noticed that the house did not rest
directly upon the ground. but upon piles oil
what seemed to be dark colored stones.
In this part Of the Bad Lands one seldom
sees even a pebble, and the stones aroused
his interest. Pulling out one which had
become loosened, no gave an
OF surprise. 1t was a fragment OF a oron-
t~osaurus, the greatest creature Known TO
man.
Bone Cabin Quarry as the place Is
now known TO scientists the world over, IA
by far the greatest hunting ground for
these animals Of the past that has yet oeen
discovered.
Since il was first visited on that spring
day in the year 1898 the Bad Lands have
been the gathering place for fossil hunters
from both the Old and the New World
The locality forms a vast graveyard Tor

as well as strange horses thaG lived in the
old days, crocodiles older than any that
ever fioated in the Nile, and mammoth
turtles.
The way in which these hunters Of extinct
animals and reptiles find their mighty game
is interesting. In searching for 1t they
bring TO their aid geology natural
history. Their weapons are chiefy. the
pick, shovel and spade, but some OF the
places containing the skeletons are so
large that they use plows and scrapers
drawn by horses to remove the earth cover
ing.
Bone Cabin Quarry itself is a revelation.
After the cabin was torn down and the
richness OF the find revealed, the ground
was divided into spaces twelve feet square
and one after another was opened.
II has taken six years working with
the plow and shovel and spade to turn up
only about 1900 square feet-less than one.
9Th of an acre OF s~urface-yet this small
space formed the resting place OF parts OF
seventy-three different animals, OF whom
forty-four belonged to the family Of dino
saurs. The explorers believe that right
here fully one hundred Of these creatures
have lain in the earth for TO- 600, 900 years or
more.
The opening Of the Bad Lands has made
western America a Veritable treasure house
for, the fossil hunters, but before the dis
covery OF the Bone Cabin Quarry they
had been securing such game" as elephants,
tigers and camels, although none OF these
were alive when the lizard giants roamed
in their marshes.

RELICS OF THE ELEVATED.
Twenty-Five Locomotives OF the Steam Days
-Four Blocks OF Old Cars.

Some relics OF New York's first rapid
transit system lie rusting in the storage
yard OF the marlborough Railroad Com
pany, near the Willis venue drawbridge
over the Harlem River. They are twenty
five Of the little steam engines which used
to haul elevated trains from the Battery
up to Harlem.
Most OF the engines are from the Second
and Third avenue roads, which were the
first to be equipped with electricity. Then
there are a couple from the Sixth and Ninth
avenue roads, as the discs on the front OF
the engines indicate, while one engine once
hauled shuttle trains from the Grand Gen.
trail station to Third avenue.
These are all that remain OF 800 engines
which were in use q few years ago on the
-four elevated roads. The rest have been
sold TO various railroads throughout tho
country, and quite a number were disposed
OF to a railroad in Pekin, China
In some respects the locomotives are in
much the same state as they were when
they quit work. A little coal remains
in each tender. while the water tanks are
half full Of water, and the long handled
pokers which were used to stir up the fire
underneath the boilers protrude from the
cabs.
The oil cans still remain in a few OF the
engines, but most of the portable stun has
been removed. A heavy coat Of rust in
cases everything except some portions OF
the boilers. The smokestacks. driving
wheels and connecting rods are covered
with rust.
Sometimes two of the engines are used
to haul cars conta ming materials for re-
pair ing the roads or coal for the power
houses. At night they are used for hauling
two cars filed with parcels and trunks
for an express company. The rest Of the
time they remain idle.
Another relic Of the days when steam
cars were in use on the elevated roads can
I've found under tho Third avenue elevated
terminal in Fordham. At this place there
IL a storage yard extending over almost four
city blocks.
The yard contains four tracks and zach
one Of these tracks. for the entire four
blocks, is occupied by a line Of old elevated
cars The yard IL on the surface and the
elevated tracks above aiford some protection
to the carr, but oven with this protect on
the rain and wind are getting in their work
and the wood on some parts of tie cars is
beginning to decay.

are white, roaring torrents, full Of holes and
rifles, where the flick of a fly on a short line
challenges the trout. The fish are not
wary; IL they don't bite it il because the
fisher has not offered the right fly. Food
is at all times abundant for the trout and
only an expert examination Of the stomach
OF one OF them will give the sportsman
knowledge of what feather to choose.
A GAMER fish than those in the ice cold
waters of the Cascade streams never rose
makes the landing Of each fish an individual
problem. Wading boots and casting up
stream are almost obligatory.
In the lake the situation is unusual. All
of the upper end of Klamath is a great
marsh. filled in by centuries Of wash down
from the mountains, A floating bog would
probably describe this section of the lake
better. There are miles Of trembling
bunch grass and tules. held together by
the network of roots M floating in water
from thirty to fifty feet deep. Down
through this bog in several places there
are wide streams Of ice cold water from the
concealed springs along the edges OF the
lake. The streams are deep, crystal pure
and moving with an almost imperceptible
current. In these broad streams are the
big felows-rainbow trout grown to the
stature Of giants. muscular as bulldogs.
These fish are broad shouldered, thick set,
with snub noses n powerful fighting
muscles behind the gills. They range
from three pounds to twenty-two-the larg-
est fish known to have been caught there
up to a year ago. They will rise TO a spoon
at any season and at any hour Of the day; a
fly they will take in midsummer when the
live trout flies ave all disappeared from
the sides of the lake, but the water must
be ruffied by the wind.
n must rave a BOAT on these marsh
streams; there are only one or two places
where landing on solid soil is offered. To
tie the boat to a bunch OF lily pads, then
whip out sixty feet of line and let a royal
coachman drop way down stream in the
shadow by the willows. is TO give challenge,
instantly accepted, TO a battle royal.
