The density of the earth as a whole
has been estimated, with close agree
ment among the several scientists
who have made the determination by
different methods, to be about five and
one-half times as heavy as an equiv
alent sphere of water. On the other
hand, the average density of the ma
terials forming the accessible portions
of the earth's crust is between 90 and
3, so that the mean density of the
whole globe is about twice that of it's
outer part. This indicates that the
central part of the earth is composed
of heavier materials and may even be
metallic, which would accord perfectly
with the nebular hypothesis.

Politicians

Missouri Republicans, it is said, will
present Senator Warmers name as
candidate for the republican nomina-

The Minnesota legislature now in
session is investigating the coal trust
and the harvester trust and it Is pos

ton bills are occupying almost as
mucn attention in the South Carolina.

The prospect is for general warfare

State Senator Arthur P. German, of
Maryland, will probably be candidate
this year for the nomination to the
United States Senate. Young German
is said to have many of the character
istics OF his father, who was the lead
err OF the regular democratic Organiza-
ton in Maryland for over a quarter of
year.
Norris Brown, the new United States
Senator from Nebraska, is a native OF
Iowa and graduate of the University
of Iowa. He has lived in Nebraska
since 1883. His campaign for the SEN
ate was made on reform issues. He
is pldeged to the support of direct
primary, anti-pass and rigid corpora

William P. Frye, who has just been
reelected Senator from Maine, has
served that state as a senator for
nearly twenty-six years. He was elect
ed to succeed the late James G. Blaine,
when the latter became secretary of
state in 1881. He has been reelected
without opposition whenever his term
has expired.
Representative Nathan Hale of the
Knoxville district of Tennessee is
crowding candidate for national
committeeman next year and, with the
Tennessee organization out of the
hands of the Brownlow people it is
probable that Mr.. Brownlow will not
again be candidate. He has held
the position twenty years.
Joseph NJ Dixon, the new United
States Senator from Montana, has
been the only representative in Con-

years. Previous to his election to

Clad in light colored frock of the new

sheer lace or hand embroidery any
woman may feel that SO far as dress
goes her picture will be correct. The
wearing of big picture hats with
plumes, ribbons and velvets, becom-
ingly arranged, which was such fad
year or so ago is still in vogue.
1t depends entirely upon the person
posing, and though the majority of
photographs will be taken without
these hats, the latter are an adjunct
of picture taking that will probably
always be considered good fern.

OF all the changes in dress that
have taken place during the past few
years there is none perhaps SO mark
ed as the new idea of what's fash
ion able and correct for mourning.
No longer must one be heavily draped
in crepe for any length of time, even
for the nearest of kin, but the period
Of first mourning, while much short
ened, is nevertheless very marked.
Crepe is worn, it might be said, on
the least excuse, but must be worn for
only a short time, while the period
of course being regulated by the close
ness of the demised relative. Black
and white are now so smart for gen.
eral wear that it is rather out of
favor save for the lightest possible
mourning, and gray, mauve and lilac
also are considered no longer strict
ly mourning-or half mourning-col-
ors. Satins, however, bright spangled
robes and all materials with consid-
cradle sheen are now considered quite
correct for all save the deepest
mourning, and bright and dull jet
trim the majority of all black dress
es, while black lace and embroidery
are also deemed permissible for all
mourning that does not call for crepe

Of Interest to Women

1t Is dimcult to be deeply interested
in winter frocks and frills when the
spring fashions are already knocking
at the door and the shops are brave
with muslins and linens and summer
millinery, but the frocks that are be-
ing worn now in the pre-Lenten So
cial whirl hold many hints of the
modes to come. and the knowing OBJ
server can read in them many possi-
bilities and probabilities connected
with spring fashions.
Voiles, both wool and silk, seem to
be established as hardy perennials in
public favor, are, indeed. all the year
round favorites, and the makers of the
new frocks. evidently count upon a
continuance of such conditions, for
some delightful models in voile are
among recent importations, both in
dainty morning frocks and in more
pretenttous afternoon costumes. There
Is host of new designs in these
sheer fabrics. noticeably new shaded
and line plaid effects in shades of one
color or, in beautifully harmonized
complex color schemes.
Stripes, too, are presented in at
tracttve guise, but the indications are
that we are to have another season
of plaids and checks, and the manu-
facturers have done wonders toward
removing the only objections to such
enects-a certain loudness and tenden-
cy toward increasing the apparent size
OF the wearer which we're always as
ISOLATED with the plaids and checks
of the earlier days.
Now these plaid ahd check designs
are so cleverly blended, so devoid of
hard and fast outlines, so softly in
definite in their plaiding, that many of
them are no more strikingly conspic-
uous In effect than the Jain materials.
This is particularly true of the best
designs among the plaid and check
veilings. and many of these materials
are entirely in one tone, the plaiding
being obtained In the weaving.
There is a rumor in the world of
fashion that skirts are to be narrow
and skinny. The latest French skirt
Is cut with a narrow front seam, and
this extends above the waist, where
1t is closely fitted to the figure, the
side seams being similarly shaped and
fitted. The back has plat, which
also defines the waist. This corselet
style of skirt is most becoming to tall,
slim women. AS it is cut to give an
impression of narrowness it is seldom
lined, and very little underclothing
is worn.
The new lace waists are showing
Bertha and HARNESS effects of COL
ored silks laid over them, light blue
or pink or fawn color being used over
the cream lace. The bertha effect is
the prettiest, being cut oftenest in a
triple sort of collar, which comes
down low on the bodice in front and
in which each piece of silk edged with
