Evo1utions In
Women's Fashions

A CELEBRATED archaeologist, who
~ might well be supposed to know
more about cuneiforms than princess
gowns. recently gave a lecture, in which he
made the statement that the modern fem
mime fashions differed very little from
those Of 1900 B. C. Moreover. the gentle
man proved his assertion, for he placed be-
fore the astonished eyes of his audience a
picture of female idol OF the latter period
and her garments (probably fashioned by
the most skilled modiste of her time) were
not at all unlike those worn by the women
of today.
Alas! there Is nothing new under the
sun-not even in dress. little arrange
ment of draperies and the classic robe of
the Athenan lady becomes a twentieth
century teagown; the twist of pin and
the headdress Of a daughter OF Rameses
resolves itself into the superfiuous yards Of
gauze that the latter-day auto enthusiast
ties around her hat.
Helen of Troy wore a boa of live snakes
when she eloped with that turbulent dandy
Paris. Miss 1906 wears a boa, too, when
she runs off with the good-looking young
man from the next street, who can write
sonnets to her eyebrows, but isn't capable
of earning her bread and butter. Her boa,
however, is built of fur or feather. not
snakes, but simply because the circus and
the dime museum offer opportunities for
the modern snake charmer which We're not
open to the ladies of the Iiad's time.
If you have been properly brought up,
You have, as a recollection of your child
hood, Sunday afternoon spent in porting
over a big family Bible, whose Illustrations
filled your heart with joy and marveling.
There was Pharaoh's daughter resculng
Moses from the bullrushes. and she wore
trailing skirts don't wear them, too,
when we get chance and snap our fingers
in the faces of the wise who warn
against filth and disease germs which Turk
in their sweeping hemsD and trains I'M
limited (haven't we squandered our last
cherished pennies on adornings in the way
of necklacesD and sandals.
To the youthful mind of twenty years
back this form of footgear looked either
superfuous improper. Why not go bare
footed If you were a big lady and allowed
to do as you pleased? But. if you didn't
want to go barefooted, was 1t nice to wear
shoes without any stockings? Such queer
shoes, tool
The child of today knows no such mis-
giving. He is well informed in the matter
of scandals. He wears them and he looks
with plying sorrow and contempt upon
childhood that was barren of such aids to
comfort and GOODNESS.
No, there Is nothing newt Perhaps fu-
ture investigation will show that the Venus
OF Milo wore the straight front-it is said
to encourage latitude as to waistline. Per-
haps Andromaches Bingham aprons and
Iphigenia's lingerie blouses will come to
light in other excavations. Only time and
the broad-minded archaeologists can tell.

Danger to drivers of automobiles
grows rapidly greater with each new
burst Of speed. y correspondent of
the Scientific American develops the
theme as follows: THE danger in all
cases Increases as the square Of the
speed. Take three machines of the
same make, one going five miles an
hour, one twenty miles an hour and
one forty miles an hour. The second

or motion, sixteen times as much
energy as the first, and If 1t leaves the
road and runs into an obstacle. such

struck will be struck with sixteen times
the force. The third machine Will be
slxty-four times as likely to get into
trouble in going around a curve as the
first.
An object going five miles an hour
Is moving with the same speed as il
would have attained in falling ten
inches. In moving ten miles an hour
II Is going as fast as though 1t had

The TRADE Raj.
Odd Ways OF This Peculiar Little
California Rodent.

Odd Ways OF This Peculiar little
California Rodent.
one OF the oldest little animals in
existence is the California wood rat
better known rs the trade rat" 1t
owes the latter name TO the fact that.
though it Is a great thief, It never steals
anything without putting something
else In Its place. 1t Is said that n paste
pot which had been left overnight in
the assay Office Of n silver mine In that
state was found in the morning with
the oldest collection Of rubbish. This
was the work OF trade rats. They had
stolen the paste and left in exchange n
piece OF stick, length Of rope. some
odds and ends of wire and an unbroken
glass funnel. The object OF the trade
rat In so scrupulously paying for what
he takes is something OF mystery. but
these same rats certainly take the
greatest pleasure in the odds and ends
which they steal and collect.
In Lindsay's "AIind In Lower Ami
mails" description Is given Of n trade
rats nest found In an unoccupied
house. The outside was composed on
tirely Of iron spikes laid in perfect
symmetry. with the points outward.
lnterlaced with the spikes were about
two dozen forks and spoons and three
large butcher knives. There we're also
large carving fork, knife and steel.
several plugs Of tobacco, an old purse.
a quantity Of small carpenters tools.
including several augers. and watch
or which the outside casing. the glass
and the works were all distributed
separately, so as to make the best
show possible.
The trade rat has its South American
counterpart In the viscacha, a pretty
little relative of the chinchina. which
lives in families OF twenty or thirty on
me pampas. Everything that takes its
FANCY and Is portable is carried bv the
viScacea and piled in neat little heaps
ht the mouth Of its burrow. If n ranch
man drops his watch or any similar
article he always searches the vIscacha
