alass.Rottomed Boats.

At the popular seaside resort OF
Avalon, Santa Catalina islands, OF the
coast of Southern California, there is
now a regular fleet of glass-bottomed
boats. They are specially designed to
enable passengers to see not only the
fish, but the wonderful submarine
growths in the Pacific ocean. In build
these craft resemble ordinary row
boats, and they hold from eight to a
dozen persons, who sit round the
well" and gaze through its glass win
dows into the ocean below.-Wide

New Problem Of watohmakers.

H. G. Carpenter, a representative OF
watch company of South Bend, Ind,
held up sample watch as he stood in
his room at the Hotel Baltimore yes
terday.
And now the jewelers. have new
job-that of inventing something that
will make watches used in skyscrapers
keep correct time," he said. Don't
suppose you know 1t, but the perpen-
dicular steel construction of these
high buildings forms magnet that
acts on the wheels of the watches, ac-
celebrating or retarding the balance
wheel. That's why so many watches
in skyscrapers won't keep the correct
time. Now the manufacturers must
remedy that defect-if it's possible.

whose sons killed them because they
were about to marry young girls OF

for a rich old man to marry a young
girl.
Were I a legislator. I'd propose
new law, a law to protect Gobsa Code

their millions and their vigilant, mid
dle-aged, grasping sons and daughters,
from the peril Of wedding some beau
tiful creature of IS or 10 summers.
This law should say simply that no
man over 65, IL he married a woman
more than is years younger than HIM
self, could leave his wife cent OF his
property nor could he--lest In his life

after his marriage any part OF his es

The colonel chuckled rather sadly.
"Such a law" he said, would dc

Producing the Soft Fall.
The soft fall about the feet which
Is so much admired by the aesthetical-
ly inclined is produced by various de-
vices, usually small shot which are
sewed to band of tape, which in turn
Is fastened to the edge of the skirt or
a few inches from the edge, as pre-
ferred. Paquin used rubber band at
the knee which went around the skirt
and drew it in to give the required eff
feet when walking, and some Of the
sheath skirts have two rubber loops
through which the foot passes, but
this style, although 1t gives the sheath
walk all right, is very trying to an &C
tive minded woman, as she must never
forget them, and while she may moi
mind the self-consciousness she does
mind the discomfort.
