VESSELS ARE sWAMPED

Gatania, Sicily, Dec. 3o.-An
immense tidal wave swept into
this port today, the result of
earthquake disturbances. People
on the waterfront were thrown
into an indescribable condition of
fear. The approach of the water
was seen, and sharp cries OF warn
ing rang out. People fled from
docks and the waterfront into the
town. Where the sailors could get
ashore, boats of all kinds were
abandoned.
The waters came and left con-
fusion and damage in their wake.
1t is not known yet whether any
lives were lost. A number Of fish
ing boats were swamped and three
steamers in port were more or less
damaged. An Austrian steamer
was nearly overwhelmed. Much
merchandise piled on the docks
was washed away.
Brief reports r received from
Palermo, capital Of Sicily. The
shocks there lasted 80 seconds.
The telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS were put out Of business and
railroad communication was in
terrupted, but the submarine Ca
bles from Palermo are still work.

SMALL GIRLS WEAR APRONS
INSTEAD OF WARM DRESSES
These Slips That Completely Cover the Body Are
Cooler Than Ordinary Frocks.

| Frocks for small girls may be almost
entirely dispensed with during very no,
weather If enough dainty white aprons
are provided as substitutes.
| The latter are particularly desirable fol
wear because they are SO much cooler
than dresses. Incidentally. the newest
| apron models follow closely the lines OF
the little frocks that are favorites now
and this fact is another feature to thefr
advantage.
| OF styles in aprons that are decidedly
pretty was seen in a local store a little
pinafore marked at 40 cents that would
appeal to many mothers. 1t was Of white
| lawn. the skirt part made like dress
skirt, hemmed on the bottom, gathered
at the top and set into belt all around
the waist. closing In the back. There
was a bib of embroidery-wide edging-
the scalloped border arranged at the top
| and ruff1es Of lawn with two hemstitched
| tucks gathered to plain bands which pass
ed over the shoulders. suspender fashion,
and connected the bib.
AS the ruffle was wider at the shoulder
I it fell over the arm and gave the effect
of a sleeve. 1t was very dainty gar
ment for the price. If such an apron
were made at home the cost would be
greatly lessened To construct such a
garment one and one-half yards of lawn
and one-quarter of yard of embroidery
would be enough for an apron fitting a
girl who was eight years old. Dimity or
cross striped lawn is more substantial
than the plain.
Empire Aprons Effective.
An empire apron from these same mate
rails that would fall free from a short
yoke of embroidery insertion finished over
the shoulders with ruff1es of lawn would
be serviceable and stylish. For such a
model two yards of lawn and less than
a yard of insertion will be needed in the
making.
Besides these designs there are princess
aprons that may be used as dresses for
morning wear all the year around If pre-
ferred. The newest of these models are
made with sleeves in either three-quarter
length bishop or short bell and pun ef-

RAIN, SAYS MARINE PROPHET.
Predicts End Of Drought and Warm
and Wet for Four Weeks.


The marine weather prophet predicts
that drought, which has prevailed IN this
section of the country for the past five OF
six weeks. is a thing Of the past. and fol
the next four weeks Washington and
vicinity will be visited by frequent and
heavy showers. But the weather will
continue warm, uncomfortably so.
Yesterday was the Thursday before the
change in the moon; that is. before the
appearance of the new moon in the
heavens next Tuesday. According to the
rivermen's observations the kind OF
weather that prevails on the Thursday be-
fore the new moon, will prevail for two
thirds the four weeks that will elapse
before another new moon comes.
You can tell The Star readers" said
the marine weather prophet to u reporter
for The Star. who was taking a trip on
the prophets steamer, yesterday even
ing. that this saying regarding the
Thursday before the new moon is an old
one among watermen. My observation OF
over forty. years on the water is that 1t
comes mighty near being right"
So the farmers and truck gardeners
about Washington can rest content that
they are going to have all the water they
want during the four weeks from Tues
day next, but the latter part Of July and
the first weeks Of August are going to be
warm.
Watch the riverman's prediction and see
how near he hits It.

1 am always interested in anything that

in his mathematics: or. perhaps. 1t is the
ambiguity Of his expression that has at

Carton House. belonging to the Duke Of
Leinster, Ireland. that it Stands upon

Every school boy knows that there are
$40 acres in one square mile. Four square
miles contain 1850 acres. Four square
miles may be inclosed within a space two
miles square, and it would take eight
miles to reach around the piece of ground
two miles square. which would contain
only 2.5c0 acres. Mr.. Curtis would have
a hard time squeezing 11.O00 acres into
