that extend to shoulders are always
becoming in addition to allowing of
effective trimming and the little vest
makes a great many combinations pos
sible. Oriental embroideries are well
liked for this feature or the material

or braided in some simple design.
The coat is made with fronts and
side fronts, backs and side backs. The
vest is separate and attached to the
fronts, extending not quite for full
length, while the neck is finished with
the fiat collar. The sleeves are both
novel and graceful and are laid in box

they are finished with the Follower

grasped by the hand of the operator.
Between the disks are a number of
horizontal cutting blades. These
blades are made of narrow strips OF
tin and are arranged so that the outer
edge is even with the edge of the disks,
the cutters being rigidly secured. The
strips of tin being narrow there re-
mains blank space back of the blades,
which is adapted to receive the dough
when cut, thus avoiding the difficulty
experienced in cake cutters of the
dough sticking between the blades.

METALS sIcKEM AND DIE.
German Scientists Study the Ills Of
Inorganic Matter.

Inorganic Matter.
Recently strange thing in metal
lurgy happened. A ship was loaded
sailed for northern port in Europe.
When it arrived there, and the work
of unloading the valuable cargo be-
gan, the merchants to whom it was
consigned were amazed and dismayed
to discover that the entire shipment
had actually crumbled into dust.
Here was a mystery. For long time
no one could solve it. Years ago it
would have actually been dismissed
with the statement that there must
have been a flaw or fault in the tip.
But the flaw theory has become I'M
satisfactory
Then Professor Bredig, the famous
German metallurgist, came out with
photographs that he had made in a
church in Silesia. The picture show
ed the remnants of organ pipes, most
of them full of queer crumbling holes.
Whole pipes had vanished absolutely.
There was no rust, and all investi-
cation failed to show any other of the
causes that are known as destroyers
of metals. All investigators at last
confessed themselves nonplussed,
until Professor Bredig, who had been
busy with new theories of the dis
eases of metals, found wound,
genuine, open wound in pipe; and his
careful, accurate, and rigid expert
ments furnished the convincing proof
that this wound had infected the en-
tire series of pipes with a creeping
disease.
Scarcely had he finished his investi.
cations in the Silesian church, before
a coincident enabled him to extend
his experiments; and at the same
time obtain additional proof of the
correctness of the previous findings.
He was asked to inspect the great
tin roof of the Council House of
Rothenburg. Arrived there, he was
informed that several years ago the
roof, although it had been attended
to carefully, painted regularly, and
kept perfectly free from rust, had be-
gun to crumble away. No one could
imagine what caused it. Professor
Bredig soon discovered centre of In.
lection. And he was able not only to
trace the gradual process of the In
lection over the Council House roof.
but to show where the disease had
actually spread to tin roof nearby.
Another German Professor, DR..
Heyn, had been studying the changes
in iron under all grades of temper
ature; and he also concluded that the
metal passes through various stages
of disease that produce structural
changes just as cells change in form,
size, and position in the forms COM
monty called organic. He heated
copper in order to find why that metal
suffers from overheating, and his con-
clusion is that it becomes poisoned
with copper protoxide which so sick
ems it that it's structure changes, and
partially breaks down.
Metals, he has proven, can be In
fected with disease in a manner
similar to organic substances. This
is entirely due to temperature
khanges, in both cases, when the
structure assumes different form
under the stress of temperature.

A New Use For Love Letters.

Two devoted lovers who were mar

love letters during their engagement.
AS the months wore on the letters ac'

spondents had a goodly number, for
they never destroyed any. Finally, the
happy bride-elect had all the letters

Notion of a Brooklyn Teacher For
Classification Of Pupils

Notion of a Brooklyn Teacher For
Classification Of Pupils
An ingenious Brooklyn teacher has
developed new idea for arranging
and seating her pupils. Her system
is based on the signs of the zodiac,
and the seating arrangement depends
upon the sign the child is born under.
Those born under Taurus are grouped
together, with the Capricorns close
by, and the other sections arranged
in order. The teacher says that II
is a great aid to her in developing the
childs traits to have him classified
properly at the start.
OF course, there will be a good
many people who can be counted on
to differ with this educator as to the
value of her scheme, and among them
will be a number of parents. Accord
ing to the popular impression, the sign
under which Napoleon Bonapart was
born had little or nothing to do with
his meteoric career, and the same
holds true of the genius of William
Shakespeare and the sterling great.
ness of Abraham Lincoln. There are
parents, too, who will be inclined to
find fault with system that involves
juvenile groupings.
Some of these parents will be I'M
reasonable enough to protest against
their own offspring being herded with
goats, or pooled with the fishes. But
then, of course, all this happens in
Brooklyn, and if its novelty pleases
the Brooklynites, why should people
who have only the interest of curios'
ity offer any acknowledgements

PINNED IN BED
BY FALLING TREE

m. VHnderpool, living two miles
north of White Salmon had an expert
ence last Saturday night that lie will
NOT soon forget and which came near
causing him to lose his life.
Vanderpool is bachelor and lives
in lonely log hut in the woods far
from any other habitation. During
the night while he was in he'd the high
VII ds blew down big tree, which
tell so is to break the through roof
and pin him in bed The walls of the
hut we're strong enough to hold up
the tree trunk but the heavy branches
smashed through the roof and held
him immovable.
he night was exceedingly cold and
the wind swept through his cabin in
great gusts while be struggled and
called for help until he was almost ex-
hausted until finally discovering that
his efforts we're useless he waited for
daylight to rerhaps release him from
his agonizing position.
With the coming of dawn he again
made an effort to release himself but
without avail and at intervals shouted
until he was hoarse and weak from
his efforts and lack Of food.
The day went on and no help had
come. The afternoon passed and the
shadows of evening we're almost be-
ginning to fall. Vanderpool with de-
spair at his heart was afraid that he
would have to pass another night in
his lonely and deserted cabin. Mas
tering all his strength and courage he
gave one more shout long and loud.
Away in a field long distance from
the cabin was a daughter of Edward
Groshong of White Salmon who had
stayed late in the afternoon picking
wild flowers. She heard the despair.
ing cries of Vanderpool and going in
the direction of his cries finally airiv-
ed at the cabin and went in. The
eyes of Vanoerpool we're turned to-
ward the door as she entered aud al
though ho saw that she was too small
to be of any assistance he soon COM
municated to her his predicameDt.
So she hurried home and told her
father who summoned several neigh
bors and the party went back.
After vainly trying to extricate the
imprisoned man it was finally found
necessary to saw off the branches Of
the tree and the bedposts of the bed
in order Eo release him.
Upon examination it was found that
Vanderpool had not sustained any
serious injuries, but was somewhat
bruised and in a weakened condition
from cold and hunger and was taken to
the home of his neighbors where he
was cared for and in few hours was
no worse for his singular adventure.
