MAKES FIND IN ROME.

Scientist Dfscovers the Hidden Nav
seleum Of HaArian's Parents.
Tho Commentators Boni recently de-
livered an interesting lecture in the
rooms Of the Royal Society On the sub
1ect Of Trajan's column and the mean
ing Of its dedicatory inscription, "Ad
Declarandvm. Qvant@ Altitvdlnis Mons
ct Loevs Cantis Operibvs Sit Egestvs"
says the Academy. Archaeologists have
believed on the strength Of the inscrfp-
ton that the column was raised to
marx tho height Of a hill which had
been removed in order to level the
forum, and that 1t probably never con-
tanned a sepulchral chamber. It would
appear to have been easy to set this lat
ter doubt at rest before now, but It has
remained to the commandatore to dis

Dor were the remains Of 4 funeral tn
bio, and above 1t, at opposite ends, two
holes drilled In tho walls. The COM
mendatore concludes that to these were
n1ed stanchions which supported two
urns which rested on tho table. An
inscription preserved in the Vatican La
pidarium states that Hadrlan erected
temple to his parents, which stood
close to the column. The commentators
seems. therefore, to have fairly estab-
nshed as a fact that the column was
erected as mausoleum over the ashes
OF Trajan and Plotina, the parents of
Hadrian.
As regards the Inscription, the COM
mendatore has, we hold, arrived at a
conclusion still more CONVINCING. but.
we think, merely negative. He dug
pits near the column and a trench
across the whole valley which contains
rne Forum. At the level where the sub
strata of the supposed hill would have
lain he found In their place remains Of
early imperial and republican work.
such as foundations and drains. In
particular, he found traces Of a wall
built Of blocks Of tufa exactly similar
to the still existing Notifications on
the slopes Of the Quirinal. 1t Is evil
dent that these are the remains Of the
Notifications which Livy mentions as
having been built after the retreat If
the Gauls In the fourth century. The
existence Of any hill occupying this
spot is therefore abundantly diproved
without the commendatore's further ar
gunlent, which we do not consider
would DO very conclusive In itself. He
has discovered, that the column is so
exactly 100 feet high that the length
OF tho Roman foot has been more &C.
curately fixed in accordance with It.
He argues against the probability Of a
hill existing Of such accurate measure
ment Surely a columna centenaria,
being 4 stereotype, might well have
been chosen to mark the removal Of a
hill Of about that height We cannot
accept the commendatore's positive ex-
PLANTATION Of the inscription as very
convincing. He considers it to refer
to the height and proportions of the
buildings on the level of the Forum u
plum and on the slope Of the neighbor-
ing hill. We cannot follow him in ex-
tracing this meaning from the Latin
words, which remain to US as little ex-
plicable as before.

only recently have complete chemical
tests been made to determine why q

larger than tho same quantity OF an
other brand. According to experiments
by the department OF agriculture at
Cambridge. England, the volume Of \
loaf Of bread depends In the frst In
stance upon the relative amount Of
sugar In the dough. The addition OF
sugar always increases the size Of the
loaf, or, as the baker says, makes the
-four stronger. There are other differ
ences affecting such things as texture
and color Of bread, tho chemical bases
of which are yet under examination.

In the meantime ether experlmenters

even soIdined. Moissan found that

Fair Ines.
O saw We not fair Ines? She's gone into
the west,
To dazzle when the sun rs dewn' and rob
the world Of rest;
She took our daylight with her, the smiles
that we love best,
With morning blushing on her cheeks,
and pearls upon her breast.
o tur, again, fair Ines, before the fall OF
night,
For fear the neon should shine alone,
and stars unrivaled bright;
And blessed will the love be that walks
beneath their Hight,
And breathes the love against thy cheek

Would I had been, fair Ines, that gallant
cavalier
whs rode SO gayly BY thy side and whis-
pered thee so near!
Were there no benny danes at home, or
no true lovers here,
That he should cross the seas and win
the dearest Of the dear?
I saw thee, lovely Ines, descend along the
shore,
With bands Of noble gentlemen. and ban
ners waved before;
And gentle youth and maidens gay, and
snowy plumes they wore;
It would have been 4 beautesus dream if
1t had been NJ nero
Alas! alas! fair Ines she went away
with song,
With music waiting on her steps, and
sheutings Of the throhg;
But some were sad, and felt no mirth-
but only Music's wrong,
In sounds that sang Farewell, Farewell
to her you've loved 30 long.
Farewell, farewell, fair Ines! that vessel
never bore
So fair lady on it's deck nor danced SO.

Alas for pleasure ON the sea, and sorrow
on the shore!
The smile that blest one lovers heart
has broken many more.

And speak in different tongues, and have

And these DER unknown seas to unknown

Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying

And all unconsciously shape every act
And bend each wandering stop to this ono

That, one day, out of darkness, they shall

And two shall walk some narrow way Of

So nearly side by side, that should one

Dark. but by no means somber, are the
colorings fashion approves for fall. Never
have we seen a wider variety OF shades
accredited good by that capricious dame.
First and foremost IN novelty and beau
~ is the purple family. Every shade and
tone, from the full rich royal egg plant
dahlia. petunia, and those tones known
to the French as crocus. pavot, eminence,
and abbesse.
Purple Is startling color, and some
how we always feel that 1t cannot take
well; yet II comes to US this fall in mod
els with the names of the master-design'
ers OF the world attached, and since some
Of New Yorks best dressed women are
favoring 1t, It certainly looks as though
more people than royalty would be cloth
ed In purple this winter.
The OF" shades, II must be confessed.
are more attractive than the clear ppr-
pie. and vastly more becoming to the ma
iority Of compilations In this harsh Gil
mate OF ours. The egg plant. or aubu-
zine. as the French term II, Is soft
pinkish tint that combines chsrmingly
with light blue. and harmoniEes delight
fully with almost all the fashionable furs.
Greens In ali shades. but particularly
10 the bronze and leaf tones, are slated
for nne favor this fall and winter. Green

ter. but did not reach prominence here.

not their practical qualities that brings
them forward this season, but genuine
fashion vogue. The new shades are Ger

inspiring. They are the lighter tones
Natter and Copenhagen, and some mar

black. No very dark is the tone. Pirate

winter modes. The full pleatsd blouse is
draped over well boned fitted lining,
the shaped neck and the wide arm
holes outlined with velvet bands heavy
with silk and soutache embrolderies. The
sleeve Is also draped, and this being the
distinctly new thing in sleeves, Is deserv-
ing close attention. The plain lines of
the kimona and japanese sleeves that
have monopolized things all summer are,
we are told, to be largely replaced by
draped effects The sleeve to this lans-
dowpe costume is extremely simple, being
composed of two pieces of the cloth
arranged with the opening on the upper
arm. and the lower part of the drapery
caught together with small velvet bow
over a straight lace undersleeve. There is

which is knotted softly at the bust line

The New Princess Models.
The princess dress is by no means miss
ing from the new fall models. Indeed,
the one piece and the two piece costumes
divide honors about equally The Prln-
cess Empire is noticeable, and another
form Of princess which has portions Of
the skirt extended up to form a part OF
the bodice. Such a model is sent in by
Lebouvier and is developed In a shadow
stripe mohalr In an exquisite shade OF
violet. The back pieces OF the skirt are
extended into bretelles. which cross sur
piice-wise in the back, fall wide over the

In front. The bodice portion proper is
Of violet chiffon, laid in inch tucks. and
accordian pleated. There is back
and front Of white lace, and this is out
lined with white satin striped with
violet velvet. Buttons are an important
feature OF this costume, being used on
the side back seams. and in holding the
fchu-bertha In place. They are covered
with velvet and cord edged.
Japanese and Jumper Ideaa
Continue.
These two costumes are indicative OF
two distinct types OF demi-costume, OF
each OF which we will see many varta-
lions during the season. They embody
many points Of newness, but SO cleverly
introduced that one feels no shock. There
are japanese sleeves and jumper Ideas
apienty among the new models. but these
lack the novelty Of the dlsped effects
