Since the days OF the Pharaohs
Egypt has been the scene of some re
markable feats of engineering, the
latest being the construction OF a
bridge from Cairo to the island of
Rodah in the Nile. where, according
to tradition, the child Moses was
found in the bulrushes.
The bridge. which is 1.740 feet long,
and 65 feet broad, has ii spans, be-
sides the central span of 209 feet,
which, when swung open, leaves a
clear passage in either side OF 10 feet.
The bridge was three years In build
ing.
When completed. recently, 1t was
loaded with cars, carts and engines of
total dead weight of 400 pounds to
the square yard. After these had re

Interest in aeronaItics has been

OF Capt. Baldwin's big o,rigible bal
loon. which he built for the signal
corps OF the United States army, were
followed with keen interest all over
the ballooning world. In addition to
this he has built for the government
two spherical balloons.
Following the old adage that a shoe

Baldwin never wavered for a moment

after considerable experimenting and
thought given TO the idea, Bald
win was determined to make a
jump of 1000 feet from the balloon.
That was II years ago. Baldwin an
nounced his intention and thousands
of people gathered at Golden Gate
park and cheered as the plucky young
man made the first successful para

beginning of his long record of sue

Japan and Egypt. Everywhere he
went, with his series OF successes fol
lowing him, he gave encouragement to
those who were working along the
same lines that he had spent so many
years on.
The one sad event in Capt. Baldwins
experience was the loss of his perfect
ly equipped workshop during the San
Francisco disaster. Thousands of dol
lars had been spent on the best tools
the finest materials and half-fnished
airships, which represented years OF

BURLAP FRAMES AND BOXES.
Useful Material Made Up In Many At
tractive Ways.

That useful material, burlap, has
been made up in many attractive ways
in the last few years, and now the
needlework shops are showing desk
pads, handkerchief boxes and picture
frames all in burlap and embroidered
with soft colored silks.
One set was In a dark shade Of
green and the design was carried out
in tones of wood brown. 1t does not
take very fine stitches or great
amount of work, but, when the dainty
little articles are finished and mount
ed on cardboard, they are pretty and
effective
AS sold in the stores, such things
are expensive; but Why not cover q
box-and there are plenty around the
average house-with burlap and leave
It without further elaboration? 1t
would not soil easily, and 1t would
prove a formidable rival to the silk

This is run through one-inch col

TIES FOR WIDE COLLARS.
Not Necessary That They Should Be
In Expensive Silk.

Every one knows that with the new
broad collar, Unfortunately called
Byron, Eton or Peter Pan, the most
artistic flowing ties are worn, but II Is
a new idea TO make them OF material
other than silk. Fine sheer handker-
chief linen is the most useful and the
prettiest Of materials for summer ac-
cessories, and when made up into ties
1t is attractive.
The'new ties for Byron collars arc
simply bows made OF straight piece
Of linen about five inches wide and 2S
inches long. II sounds gigantic, 1t is
true, but the flowing tie of the Quar-
tier Latin must have long loops and
long ends.
When making such tie 1t is best
to cut the linen an inch longer and
an inch broader than the finished tie
will be, or II must be buttonholed with
mercerized cotton all round-at both
sides and each end. Sometimes the
embroidery is done In a color to match
the suit or dress with which II Is to
be worn, but white is always best for
these little things that need frequent
washing.
When it is finished 1t may be tied
into bow and pinned to the front OF
the collar, but no gold or Ieweled pins
must be in evidence.
The best way to manage is to SLIP
the linen through the collar band in
front and then tie the bow. This
hides the collar button and the tie
cannot slip. AS the band on these
wide affairs Is narrow, the tie which
extends round the neck is likely tC
get out of place.
Some of these summer ties are cut
With ends on the bias.
All lace insertion and edging SHOULD
be tabooed for wear with this new
wrinkle OF fashion. Byron, though h
may have been odd. certainly nevel
wore lace neckties.
