Trim and Co1serva-

 but not tho tiny hats which
 have been so popular ever
 cince their surprising en- trance into fashions, are the first of the fall hats about, most of them kept to conservative lines, with wings and stiff bows of ribbon and an occasional plume.
 Most of thera are of black, all though sorne wonderfully attract i've models have come out in green and brown, some in a sort of leather color.
 For these suit hats, for very little in the dressy line is shown as yet, black is, nine times out of ten, shown as the whole trimming, or at the least, bit of 1t used to point the color scheme. On brown and the leather-brown hats particularly, black trimmings give an effect of style tat nothing else does.
 On that tenth hat (which may be of brown, tool two or three tones of the same shade may be used there's nothing much more attract i've for a brown suit than hat to match. and allbrowr need not be only one shade.
 Plenty of sailor shapes--an evo- lution of. the lit le French sailor we've worn all summer, but radical ly unlike it, with wider brim and a higher crown--are among these first hats.

Notes of the Fashions

ter than gloves with the simpler cot ton gowns-so much more American than French in tkeir style-that are worn by English women.
 Panama hats, with band and soft bow of wide pompadour ribbon, are the very latest touch of "smart- ness."
 
 Some stunning linen pumps have the vamps embroidered.
 The hrettiest treatment of checks lies in the introduction of dots of the color (often a deeper shade of it) in the blocks of white. Not that they are evenly dispersed; instead. they are grouped into little set fig ures, which give the checks a world of character. EsLk Aa

A beautiful sort of shoe for darker or linen costumes, but one which is difficult to wear, has a vamp of rus set leather and high buttoned top of white kid. Of course such a ar rangement tends to thicken the ankle. Pale gray and very pale tan suede boots are also pretty with light cloth gowns. Black shoes are not worn at all.

particular study of colds and had his
own theory about them, which we be-
lieve is pretty much the theory Of to-
day One Of his assertions was that
catching cold does not come from mere
cold, but from unequal temperature
over the body and from undistributed
moisture. To prove this he made
number of observations on occasions
when he did and did not suffer- A few

Queer Things About Flames.

There is II relation between the color
of flame and the energy of the COM
bustion causing it. The more vigorous
and complete the combustion the high
er the refrangibility of the light. A
fame burning in tardy and restricted
way emits rays that are red. When
burning in a more complete and effec-
tive manner the emitted rays change
to violet The flame of a candle or a
lamp consists of a series of eccentric
luminous shells surrounding a central
dark core. These shells of fame emit
light Of different colors, the innermost
one-that in direct contact with the
dark core-being red and having tenn
perature of exactly OF degrees F.
Upon this and in their proper order of
refrangibility are shells of light which
are orange. yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet. The reason that such a
fame does not appear to us as nest
of cones of different colored light is
this: When we look upon such a fame
all of the rays issuing from the diff
ferent layers or strata of concentric
luminous shells are received by the
retina of the eye at one and the same
time. This can only impress with the
sensation Of neutral or white light.

How Cyanide Was Discovered,

Scheele in 1888 laid the foundations
for the manufacture of cyanide of po-
tassium. With prussiate of potash for
its base, dried animal matter of any
and all kinds was dumped into the SUI
perheated vessels containing the pot
ash, together with iron filings and Dor
ings. A stonelike black mass resulted
from the cooling, and other processes
brought the final lemon colored crys-
tails which resulted from corporations

prussic acid was evolved, of which a
2 per cent solution is the pharmaceu-

four drops will kill a large dog. A
chemist putting a cyanide solution in
a gold lined dish in 1914. discovered
that the gold was dissolved in the
liquid. This was the beginning of the
gold plating process by the use Of cya-
hide and the further involvement of
the poison came about in electroplat-
ing. in photography and in treating re-
fractory gold ores.-Technical World.

The Shin'S Log.

The record of a ships voyage is
called it's log because the observations
of its speed, usually taken hourly, by
the log line are a very important factor
in the record. The log line is so called
because the float attached to the line
was originally a small log or stick of
wood. This log" is now square or
triangular piece of board weighted so
that it sits upright in the water. The
log line is divided by knots or marks
into lengths of ffty-one feet, which is
about one ne-hundred-and-twentieth
of marine mile, so that the ship is
going as many marine miles or knots
in an hour as the number of knots or
lengths that run of the reel in half a

the temperature by the addition of hot
water from time to time. Vaseline or
